In the Ancient Tower, you meet Gades

After being defeated, he runs away, but Maxim goes after him

He had 1 last trick up his sleeve...

However, its not so hard to foil.

Maxim marries Selan

And they also have a son, Jeros.

Unfortunately, its not over yet, Idura's back.

So the new quest begins

At the top of the tower, you'll meet Idrua and learn about his sinister plan.

Iris comes in and saves Jeros so Maxim and Selan can defeat Idura. He's not that hard. Use water/ice attacks against him for maximum damage. Gale , the scimitar's ice attack and the bronze sword's water attack score in the 200s.

and quite a shocker.

You'll go back to Parcelyte and from there, warp to the Bound Kingdom.

Go east, to the shrine under the Ancient Tower. Dekar and Guy will join you on the other side. Go to Aleyn.
