Head southeast after leaving the Elfrea shrine to
Ranqs. There, all the men are working on the tunnel to the west
so head there. |
|
|
No one can seem to get through so once you enter the main room
of the tunnel head:
Up 1, Right 2, Up 1, Right 2, Up 4, Left 3, Down 1, Left 2,
Down 1, Left 2, Up 2, Right 1, Up 1, Right 2, and up to reach
the stairs.
|
Walk southwest to Odel. |
|
|
In a building in northwest Odel, you'll learn of
Arus which can be reached through the caves. However, you'll need
to talk to Piron so that he can repair the bridges there. Head
into the castle. |
Talk to Piron in the throne room. He'll ask you
to get part of his old crew in Lyden to the southeast. The man
you're looking for should be in the restraunt he says. Now head
southeast to Lyden. |
|
|
Talk to the man in the restraunt, and he'll report
back to Piron in Odel Castle. Now head back there and talk to
Piron who will send you to the Arus Cave to find the bridge. |
This is the cave you're looking for- its on an island
to the west of the others. Examine the bridge and return to Odel.
Piron asks you to come with him back to the cave... thanks for
the courteousy Piron... |
|
|
After arriving at the cave again, Piron asks to
watch from the cliff with the treasure chests... This deserves
a good 'ol "...". Leave the cave and head one of the
caves to the east. |
Once you're on the cliff, Piron quickly fixes the
bridge and heads back to Odel. Now go BACK to that cave and cross
the bridge. Head north and exit the cave. Now walk across the
bridge and head east and follow the path until you reach some
stairs down. |
|
|
Go north through the door. |
Walk north and read the sign. After Jerin and our
Hero try chanting the spell, Lufia steps up and chants it then
the doors open. Head north through them. |
|
|
Head counter-clockwise along the passage and go
up the stairs. |
Head west and go up the stairs. |
|
|
Now walk north to Arus (finally). |
The people of the town tell you that Professor Raile
isn't here- of course not, that'd be too easy, eh? |
|
|
In the north of town, Lufia will admire the flowers.
The old man is surprised you could get through the cave and tells
you to meet the elder in the Tower of Grief to the west. Head
there now through the small cave. |
Once in the tower, head west and up the stairs. |
|
|
Head east and up the second set of stairs. |
Head up either the southeast or northwestern stairs. |
|
|
Then take the next stairs up. |
Walk northwest/southeast and go up the stairs. |
|
|
Talk to the Flake, the elder of Arus. He believes
the Sinistrals are coming back. He'll also draw out some of Lufia's
natural power increasing her MP by 10. It seems Raile had just
left so head to Odel Castle. |
Head to the western part of Odel Castle and go down
the stairs to enter Shaia Lab 2. |
|
|
Raile has gone to Lab 1 so head down the stairs
and then head east and step onto the teleporter. |
Head south then west through the tunnel and south
up the stairs to enter Lab 1. |
|
|
Head upstairs to meet Professor Raile Shaia. No
one really believes its him though until he starts offering his
strnage tonics. |
Jerin and Lufia get into a little argument over
each others hair... After that, Raile decides to show you the
Falcon which can both fly and go underwater. |
|
|
The ship doesn't seem too sturdy... |
After miserably failing in going underwater without
leaking, Raile says to come to Shaia Lab 3 to the west to repair
the ship. Instead, let's go to Forfeit Island! Just sail north
from Lyden to reach it. |
|
|
Forfeit Island has some interesting shops. One has
everything you've ever sold! Another you can't leave until you
buy something. If you're feeling brave and are around level 30+
(I recommend level 37+), you can head to Grenoble for the last
level of the Old Cave. These monsters are the ones you fought
in the intro with Maxim. They are very difficult at this
point in the game. |
You'll need to collect the Crown Jewels. Go down
to the 7th floor of the Old Cave. |
|
|
Head east and go down the stairs seen in the picture. |
Head to the northwest corner and go up the stairs. |
|
|
Walk east and through the door. |
Walk north and climb up the rope ladder. Open the
chests to get the Crown Jewels. Return to Grenoble and collect
your 10000 Gold. You've now finished the Old Cave! |
|
|
If you can brave the 7th floor, you can accomplish
another side task: climb the Tower of Light which is to the west
of the Lab (walkthrough) and open the chest where the Light Key
usually is to get a Might Helm. After this, sail far northewest
of Shaia Lab 3 to get to Erpo. Shop there for some very nice equipment
then head back to Shaia Lab 3. |
In the lab, Raile will tell you that you'll need
to find Cooper in the Cleric's Hut in Bakku to the west of the
Lab (near the Tower of Light). Now head for Baku. |
