A Test and a Glorious Mission

---

 

Recommended Level: 9 Reidock's a nice little over-protective, heavily-guarded town. Show the pass, and you're in.
	Make sure to buy all the new equipment, especially a Boomerang. Boomerangs attack all enemies on the screen so they're very nice. Search around town to find an Antidote Herb, Medical Herb, and a Tunic. Check the well also if you feel up to a fight.
In the well, you'll find a little demon guarding a treasure chest. Time to remove the demon.
	The Dark Hobbit isn't too hard. Cast Sap on him twice, and he should fall easily. If your HP happens to fall below 30, cast Heal or use a Medical Herb.
Afterwords, talk to the woman standing by the well and give her the Antique Ring back. She'll give you a Strength Seed for your troubles.
	Well, you might as well become a soldier and destroy Mudo. Sounds fun, eh? He'll tell you to meet back once the Church Bell chimes.
Go into the church, and you'll see the big guy from your dreams. Interesting...
	After leaving the church, the bells will ring. Report back to the caslte and go inside.
General Soldi will tell you that to become soldiers, you must retrieve an item he placed in the Tower of Trials to the south. That'll be the next stop.
	Gotta love that tower music. Enter the tower.
Go up the stairs in the northeast corner. Don't step on any of the spikes unless you're into pain.
	Walk south and grab the treasure chest for a Wing of the Wyvern. Now head back to the stairs going up.
On the next floor, you'll have to challenge one of the guards.
	Tower Guard: Tower Guards aren't difficult. Cast Sap on them twice then pound them into oblivion. If your HP reaches around 20 then use a Medical Herb. Their Buildup-then strike technique isn't effective at all. You'll get 96 Exp for beating them which is very nice!
After beating them, grab the chest for 130 Gold and go through the door on the left.
	Go around the path and head through the door and up the stairs. Ignore what the big guy tells you about something you might want downstairs; he's just trying to mess you up.
To get through this room. Step on the arrows next to the 1 then on the one next on the 2, and you'll reach the stairs.
	Head south and through the door.
Jump off the ledge, and you'll meet Hassan. He thinks he's met you before... how strange since he was the guy in your dream. He'll leave through the door to the north after talking to you.
	The next section has an area with 3 doors. The door on the left leads to stairs that allow you to continue; the middle door leads to spikes; and the door on the right leads to some stairs that take you to a room with a Small Medal and a Gold Ring. Don't go back to the castle though! Now go back to the first room and take the door on the left.
Go south and open the chest for a Medical Herb then take the stairs on the right and go south through the next room.
	You'll meet good 'ol Nelson at the top. He offers to let you go back to town to rest up if you want. If you're ready, agree to fight him now.
Nelson: Nelson is similar to the Tower Guard you fought earlier. Cast Sap on him twice then pound on him. He'll use Sweepkick which can trip you and cause you to lose your turn. If you HP reaches 20, cast Heal or use a Medical Herb.
	After beating him, follow him inside and open the chest for the Broken Heart. Now report back to General Soldi in Reidock.
Soldi will take the Broken Heart (awww +15 Def/ +10 Style is nice...) and welcome you to the Royal Soldiers. Now you can loot... er borrow stuff from the castle. You'll find a Small Medal in the castle kitchen.
	Talk to the old man in the courtyard and agree to find a horse to pull the wagon. Now leave Reidock.
Hassan will meet up with you after you leave Reidock. Accept his help, and he'll join the party. Now get Hassan up to level 10 around town and make sure to buy him some new equipment.
	Recommended Level: 10 Now head west past Reidock to this forest. Go in there to attempt to capture the horse.
Whenever you get near the horse, it runs away.
	After chasing it in a complete circle, Hassan devises a plot to capture the horse by surrounding it and forcing it to run into the dead end.
The plan works, and you capture the horse which Hassan names Falshion.
	Head to Reidock and tell the soldier guarding the gate that you don't understand why you can't bring the horse into the castle, and he'll pretend he never saw you and let you in. Talk to the
General Soldi will be amazed that you captured the horse. He'll tell Hassan that Hassan has now become a royal soldier and wants both of you to meet the King.
	...The King wants the Mirror of Ra.
He tells you and Hassan to search for the Mirror of Ra and opens the northeastern gate. He also gives you the wagon. Make sure to nab the Silver Tiara from the King's bedroom dresser.
	Head northeast and go through the gate. Now begin heading east.
While heading east, you can find a Church. Inside the Church is one of the soldeirs that the King met with. Get a Fairy Water and a Beauty Plant from the Church then Save and leave.
Now head southwest and go through the space between the mountains. Visit the house and talk to the man there. Also grab the Antidote Herb and the Wooden Hat there.
	Agree to help the man in exchange for information. He'll ask you to help build an extension to his house. Hassan will be furious and leave.
When you go out to attempt to do it, the old man seems clueless. Hassan then suddenly starts working on it and builds a nice new extension.
	The old man hasn't heard of the Mirror of Ra, but he does know about the Shrine at Dhama which is east of the river. He tells you to enter the secret passage where the desert is surrounded by forest.
Now head east and search the grassy spot.
	Head south through the first room then head south down the first tunnel for a chest with a Bronze Shield. Head back up and then head east past the next tunnel and go down the stairs.
Head south and then go up the stairs.
	Head past the first north and both southern tunnels. Take the second north tunnel for a chest with 270 Gold. Then head east and go up the stairs to exit.
Head east to reach the huge hole... maybe the Shrine is down there so head towards it and jump down!
