Knowledge and the Red Dragon Cave

	First things first, go straight up and grab the Dover Nut. Use it on Nash to raise his Defense. Head to the stairs on the right. Keep in mind that while fighting the Pious Reapers to use magic on them. From the stairs, go straight down and flip the switch on the wall to open the gate. Go through the nearby gate and shut the gate with that switch. Go left, down, left, then take the first path going up. Follow and go right to flip the switch to shut the gate.
You should now find the nearby steps and walk along the wall. All of the gates should be shut. Just follow along to the right along the tops of the walls until you reach some steps leading to a chest with the Spire Key. Grab it and head back to the 1st floor. Take the stairs on the left this time. On the next floor, grab the 3 chests at the bottom and take the stairs going up. On the 3rd floor is a library. Read the books if you would wish and take the next set of stairs.
	Go down and grab the Ice Cane. Go down and right until you see a locked door. Check it out and the key will unlock it. Go in and talk to Damon. He will tell you that Xenobia plans to attack Reza next and capture a girl named Lily. Keep talking and you will tell Alex that he must become a Dragon Master in order to defeat Xenobia and Ghaleon. Walk out of the Spire and warp to Althena's Shrine to rest. Now Warp to Reza.
Head to the pub in town (the entrance to the Thieves' Bazaar), and Xenobia will be there waiting. Nall demands that she return Luna, but Luna is now at Ghaleon's lair. Once she takes Lily, her mission will be complete. She then warps off with Lily, saying that she will see them in the Frontier. Exit and warp to Meryod. Now would be a good time to buy Alex a Steel Armor.
	Warp to Damon's Spire and exit it. Head south past the turtle island and hug the lake. Make your way northwest until you reach the Red Dragon Cave. Heal with magic and use the Healing Fountain to recover lost MP. Save and enter. Press any button and the Rain Cloud will be used to cool down the cave. Enter the cave.
Head straight down and right all the way and up to the stairs. The monsters in here shouldn't be much trouble (except for the Earth Elementals). Just attack to get out of a jam. On the next floor, take either path going left (they both lead to the same spot). Take the stairs on the far left. Follow to another set of stairs and eventually you will reach a chest with Sage's Clothes. Give this to Mia.
	Head back up 2 stairways. This time, take the stairway to the right of the one you just came out of. Follow and go right to another stairway. Follow until you reach a fork. Take the northwest road to the stairway. Follow and when you come to another fork, go left to yet another stairway. Follow to another fork. Go up to the stairway. Go down and take the path to the right to recieve an Herb of Althena. Follow back to the fork and go down to reach some more stairs.
Follow the rest of the path and you will soon end up at the dragon alter. Climb the stairs and you will soon meet the spirit of the Red Dragon. The spirit gives Alex his powers. Walk up to the tablet and press a button to recieve the Red Dragon Shield. Alex will learn the Dragon Fire spell and everybody will gain 250 exp. Equip the Dragon Shield on Alex and exit. Warp to Meryod and you will now notice that the bridge is fixed.
	Buy a Samurai Blade for Alex, a Great Sword for Kyle, a Flail for Jessica, and a Boomerang for Nash. Walk to the right and enter the Stadius Zone (this is a good time to fight around if you don't have money for some of the weapons). This is also a good time to build up levels. Stay around Meryod for a while and build you levels up to around 35-40.
From Meryod, head north, passing the bathing springs (which the girls can bathe in if they have soap), and a transmission spring. When you reach a river, head east and then south until you reach the town of Lyton. This town consists mostly of bards and such. Talk to everybody in town. People will talk of the Blue Dragon Cave nearby across the river. Talk to the wizard in the northern most house in the town. Tell him Alex's name and he will break the curse on the river so that you can cross.
