Walkthrough

A crewman will sell books and mushrooms south of the bridge, and you can buy Matelite equipment from Barclay in the men's quarters. Talk to Gunso a few times for a Gunso's ??? (you can get more Gunso's ??? if you exit/enter the room and talk to Gunso again). If you try going into Yoyo's room you'll get Melodia or Lukia winking at you, but you can't enter. Go down to the shops, equip, buy, go down and feed your dragons, then return to the bridge and talk to Hornet to go to battle. Your dragons should be starting to really get buffed up; one or two should be near the Holy/Dark form threshold. Now would be a great time to do one or two sidequests and spend ALL the cash on mushrooms to beef up Thunder, Life, Poison, and Dexterity.

For this battle, you won't be able to use Yoyo. Reorganize your parties a bit. This one's a bit tougher, but again your dragons will be doing a lot of fighting for you. If you want to make a shortcut, just use ice techs on the center of the Antlions to make them disappear. As always, beat the Cure Sorcerers first. You'll probably want to go after the Wespes once they're gone (remember not to use Thunder techs), followed by the Lazenlords. You'll find your new Garuda spell very useful, even though you only have one Summoner. Now... you don't really have to beat Palpaleos to finish this chapter, but he gives good experience and money, and it shouldn't take long if your dragons are there to help you. Gang up on Sauzer with at least two or three parties, and it's probably better to attack using field attacks (until he's almost dead, anyway). Use at least one Thunder tech on the field, too, since he's standing on a structure and he doesn't move. Every so often in this battle, a sandstorm will attack every unit (both yours and theirs) for about 2-300 HP (any units inside structures/palaces won't be hurt by it). Heal up the round after that (though your dragons should start being very helpful in this regard by now).

OK, exploration time! First talk to the guy who comes up next to Truce and tell him you're not popular (you'll see why soon). Examine the top barrel next to the lower left house for 20 Uniujis(!). Inside that house, the box at the top left has 11 Drawer Things. Next go to the house just to the right of this. In here, the lower jar has 5 Super Vodkas, and the top right box has 5 High Drugs. In the barrel to the far lower right, pick up a Dark Force, and you'll also get a message from Dark Force (the DeJap one, that is). 8p Ignore this house for now.

Next go up a bit. The guy here sells you copies of Resistance news for 100 PR each... they're funny. 8p You can get four of them. Examine the blue barrel at the top, second from left, for a Master Rod. Check the jar just to the right of that for a Mach Vest. Now enter the house to the right. The guy in here imitates Taicho's Celine scene. 8p You can see it by checking the "grave" after buying all four Resistance News. Ignore what the old lady has to say now and steal 3000 PR from the top left and bottom right barrels. 8-) Now go north and try to enter the library to get 10 Long Swords. Head into the far top left and check the cliff wall for 5 High Magic Gins. 8-) 'Kay, that's it.

Now talk to the man in front of the lower right house and pick the second option ("I'll be really cool too!"). Enter the house. Look closely and you'll see people hiding behind the barrels at the right of the screen. Talk to them. Choosing the Optional won't affect the game, but it will give you a funny scene depending on who you pick. It'll cost you 3000 PR, though. Now talk to Libero at the top. Tell him you'll help. If you're finished wandering around, tell him you're ready. After the scene, you'll have to catch up with the king. He's fast, but doesn't move too far away, so keep chasing him and mashing the A button. Finis!
