Chapter 8: Enter Cerl & Zog

THE TMKEY

          When you enter Carmen, you notice that something is wrong. None of the people are moving and only a man named Alan is not in stasis. Talk to him to find out about Tock, your next battle ground. Ryu should be at leaast Level 25 by now. If not, you'll have some problems. To find Tock, follow the plateau on the East side of Tock. Start by heading South, then East, then North. You should find a spot that lets you climb the plateau. Walk up it then head West. You'll see the Tower. You will need to have Bo or Shin in the lead to walk through the trees surrounding Tock.

          Once you get inside the Tower, head up through the doorway to find a Healing Spring. You'll notice the glowing arrows on the floor. Step on them to get a feel for how they work. Your success in this board depends on it. You should have no problem once you figure out that the tiles move warp you two steps forward in the direction the arrows are pointing. ON the second floor, take the tiles until you reach the right-hand side of the room. Walk all the way around the perimeter of the room in a counterclockwise direction until you come to an arrow pointing this way: <---.  It will take you into the room with the stair leading to the third floor.

          Upon arriving on floor 3, you'll notice that most everyway you try and go, you end up being forced back to the West and South sides of the room. I'll leave the treasure chests to you (which include a WolfSkin and an AgileHT), but here's how to get to the steps:

          Walk to the top of the room and head left.  You will see 6 tiles across the top row. Counting from the left, stand between tiles 4 & 5 and walk down one step. Walk right one step and down 2 steps on to the next tile. From here go down one step. Then down two more steps.  Next, down one more step. Now go right one step. Again, go right one step. Then go left one step. Then right again twice. Move up one step twice.

          You should now be standing in front of the stairs. Congrats on a job well done! At the top of the Tower, you meet with Cerl and find out she has mastered time. After her bragging, she notices Alan and the disturbance creates a time warp. Everyone gets pulled in, it is unavoidable. Everyone except for Ryu lands in Carmen. As Ryu, you must travel back to Carmen. Be careful along the way, Shock spells can really kill a Dragon. If you do die don't worry, you just end up in Carmen anyway.

          Once you enter Carmen and rejoin your buddies, you find out Alan and Cerl's history. In the middle of the conversation, Alan bolts for Tock to talk with Cerl. Follow him back there. Upon arriving on the top floor, you will she a short story scene, and then fight a mock battle with Cerl.

          I really don't consider this a boss fight cause it is not that hard. Just have Nina cast FortX on everyone and go all out. When she starts losing, Cerl creates another time warp. The same thing happens, except that Nina is with Ryu at a Fortress southeast of Carmen and Tock. Cerl locks herself in the Fortress and you are left to head back to Carmen. Use the Warp Spell. Once you get back, you find that Alan is hurt very bad. Listen to what they say, and go off to find the Fruit. You can get one by heading to where Ryu was stranded and have Ox punch the trees until one falls out. Take it and head to the Fortress.

          When you get there, Cerl lets you in (if you have the Fruit), and gives you the TmKey. As soon as you take the TmKey, Goda shows up and all hell breaks loose. Cerl delays him. Watch the scene that follows and you eventually get taken back to Tock. Go and place the Key in the Altar. (Notice the treasure chest behind it. Come back for it later.) When you do this, something goes wrong and Nina gets sucked into a time warp. The party jumps in and ends up in Tunlan.

 

AMNESIA

          Enter Tunlan and Save your game. Talk to the mysterious man in green/blue next to the Save Point. He gives you an important clue. If you talked to everyone here, you'll remember seeing someone who looked like Nina, only dressed in Blue. Go there, and you discover it is Nina, but she has amnesia. Take the mysterious man's advice and go to Carmen. Find the doctor and he tells you that to cure Nina, he needs some ingredients to make the Tonic.

          Here is where you can find the ingredients:

                    1) W.Ant  -  Hopefully you saved one of the 2 you should have found.

                                             Otherwise, you'll have to hunt until you kill a White Deer.

                    2) C.Nut  -  Have Ox punch the tress outside of Tunlan and pick it up.

                    3) Root   -  Walk South of Gramor and have Mogu dig near the base of a lone

                                            dead tree. You should find it.

                    4) P.Fish-  You'll have to walk from Carmen to the Bridge near Scande. Just

                                            follow the path South from where Cerl's castle once stood. You must

                                            have some type of Bait and any Rod except Rod5.

          After you acquire all these items, head back to Carmen and notice that mysterious man again. Talk to him and get the Pass. What luck! This will allow you entry into Scande! Now, talk to the Doc and get the Tonic. Go to Tunlan and give it to Nina. She regains her memory and a new ability!

 

DRAGON POWERS 3 & 4

          Walk outside of Tunlan and put Nina on Point. If you press the A button, she turns into The Great Bird and the party can now fly!!! Rock on!!! Now that you can fly, you have some serious "shopping" to do. Fly to Tock. North and East there are two spots for treasure- a Dragon Door and Dragon Head. Use Mogu and Puka to get these, then fly South of Arad. Here there is a well where you can find the DragonHT using Rod5 and some bait. From here, fly west to find another spot for Mogu to dig. From  here, fly North to Winlan. Fly over the area until you spot a small Island with 2 small circular tower coming out of the ground. Land, and search behind the taller one to find the TriRang!!! It is more powerful than the DragonSD!!! From this island, head west to find another spot for Mogu to dig. Now, head to Gramor. Fly North over the mountains and you should find a well in the middle of them. Fish here to get the DragonSH. After fishing here, fly Northeast to find a Castle on an Island above the waterfall. Here, Ryu will undergo his 3rd Dragon Trial. Only do this if have found all the Dragon Equipment, but you at least have to have the DragonAR and the second set of Dragon Powers if you can't wait.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Boss Alert: Avian

          This is probally the hardest fight you have had so far. Avian is very very strong. If you don't have all the Dragon Equipment, you'll likely lose. The strategy is the same though. Good Luck!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

          Once you have beaten Avian, head for the cave where you found the Cleansing Water. Walk. Into the water, and you'll find a hidden Shrine. Walk up to Ladon, and he'll give you Agni, the ULTIMATE power. No fights, nothing. What's the catch? To use it is 60MP and it combines Ryu with all the other party members to form one HUGE Dragon. This means Karn must be in his normal form, not transformed. But hey, it rules anyway, so don't complain!!!

          If you want to do some Level-building, head to the Island where you found the TriRang. Walk around until you meet a M.Slime. It's big and Gold colored. For every one you beat, you get 9999 EP and 9999 GP!!! Try to have Ryu be Level 32 before moving on.

 

SCANDE

          Scande is south of where you caught the P.Fish. To enter, you need the Pass, which that mysterious man in Carmen gave you. The elevator doesn't work and the Mole people have escaped, not the Dark Dragons lucky day. Warp back to Spring and talk with theman who likes to climb. He gives you the B.Parts. Talk to him a couple of times. Go to Gant to get the parts fixed. Talk to the Elder and the B.Parts become the Parts.

          Head back to Scande, and talk to everyone again. Find out Scande is actually a part of  Obelisk and head up the elevator. At the top you meet that mysterious man again. He tells you to go to Tunlan and the D.Hrt. Take his advice and go to Tunlan. Remember the woman who told you about the song-in-a-bottle? Talk to her now and she sings a song, to which Ryu feels disturbed (meaning he has only 1 HP left). She then puts it in a bottle for you. Now climb the Tower in Scande and enter the Castle.

          There are some nice items here as you make your way through the castle, such as a badly needed new weapon for Bleu, the IcyCN. At long last, after lots of trials and hardships, you meet Zog, Emperor of the Dark Dragons.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Boss Alert: Zog

          Zog is a huge opponent. Now, you could use the D.Hrt, but I suggest using Agni right away. Each attack takes away 999 HP from Zog. When he grins fearlessly, he gets his second wind. It is upwards of 11,000 HP, so you do the math if you're not using Agni. If your HP get low, one Cure Item will refill your entire life bar while in the Agni form. You should beat him without too much of a problem.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

          When Zog admits defeat, the floor gives way and you fall into an enclosed cave. You awaken to find Sara, Ryu's sister!!! The only thing that remains is to destroy the Goddess Keys. Sara asks you to give her the Keys, and of course, Ryu does. BAAAAAAMMMM!!!!!!!! Plot twist!!! Sara is under Jade's control and they leave for Agua to wake the Goddess Tyr.

          Just when all is lost and you feel trapped, a Mole person comes to the rescue.
