Sage Joch

Ok, orient yourself over either Elinee's Castle or Kippo Village aboard Flammie. In the mountains to the west you there will be a few green splotches to land in. If you don't land in a village, walk to the west to enter it. This is Mandala, and you can get some new equipment if you want. Leave to the south when ready. Start working your way up the mountain (ignore the first entrance you come to), whipping your way across chasms as you go, until you reach the peak. Inside, talk to the bird (Jehk), who tells you Joch went to the Palace of Darkness. Return to the lower doorway leading into the mountain to enter the palace. |
| Take the right door, chop through the spikes, take the lower right path, go through the left door, hit the switch, then go back and hit another switch to open the main central door, inside which can be found a Glove's Orb. The lower righthand door in the switch room loops back to a chest containing 1000 GP. Exit to the lower left, then go through the door to the right on top. Whip across, hit the switch. head back to the other side of that same room with the spikes and go through the center door. In the next large area hit some switches to make invisible bridges outlined by flames to use. Exit north. Fight the boss Lime Slime (just use normal attacks) to get a Javelin's Orb. Finally, approach the mana spirit Shade and touch the mana seed. |  |

Heal in town, then head back up to Jehk, who sends you of to the Gold Isle (fly to the northeast, it's on an island). It goes without saying, upgrade your equipment. Check around and you'll find that the tower is locked. Talk to a man on the long wall to learn about a spy and the key (this *must* be done). Talk to the woman in the upper left house in Empire Southtown to get the Gold Tower Key. Head into the tower. |
| The tower is nice and straightforward. Pick up a Spear's Orb on the first floor and ascend the stairs to fight Blue Spike, a boss weak to nothing but who'll fall to your highest levelled magic anyway. You get a Boomerang's Orb. There's an Axe's Orb sitting around on the third floor, and on the fourth another boss, the Gorgon Bull. Let fly the Sprite's Sylph Thunderbolt magic to win a Bow's Orb. The light spirit, Lumina, and its Mana Seed are on the sixth floor. |  |
 |
Once again, talk to Jehk, who sends you to the Moon Palace. Land Flammie near the big purple splotch in the desert near Kakkara. Head north and onto Karon's ferry. Inside the palace go north until the last purple flame shows at the bottom, then west to find an orb. Hit it with a Lucent Beam, then head north to find Luna and a mana seed. Mission complete. |
| Talk to Jehk to get sent to Tasnica, a castle located to the west of the Lofty Mountains. Inside, talk to Jema, then take the right door to find the king. You'll have to kill a Dark Stalker (regular enemy). Talk to Jema again, and then talk to the king to receive a Sword's Orb. Jema tells you to find Joch. Return to the Lofty Mountains to find Neko stationed there (he doesn't sell anything new). |  |
 |
At the peak of the mountain, talk to Jehk, then "Joch." Select "Yes," and head into the cave. Try to avoid fighting the enemies here - I found them to be too tough to be worthwhile. Anyway, in the back room you'll have to fight mirror images of yourselves. Just whack away with physical attacks; they go down easy. Back up front, talk to "Jehk," who directs you to the Tree Palace. |
