The Fire Orb and the Vay Armor

From Penan Castle, head northeast to Treefall.
Yan and Rachel devise a plan to overthrow the
Wizard that has the elder hostage. Just head
north and kill anything you run into. The hut is
in back. Before entering, heal up and enter.
Rosale (the Wizard) bickers a bit about how
Sadoul stole her rank. She is trying to find the
Orb of Fire. She then attacks with 2
Ultragoyles.
This fight can be tough, but isn't too difficult. First
off, have Sandor, Rachel, and Lynx attack Rosale
and have P.J use Malybu. This should kill Rosale.
Next concentrate on one of the Ultragoyles. Have
Sandor, Rachel, and Lynx attack one, and have
P.J cast Flame on one of them. Ultragoyles use
Inferno, which does around 60 HP damage. Keep
your HP above 80. Have Lynx cast Restore when
everyone's HP runs low. Keep up the attacking and
heal with Herbal Extracts when needed. They
should both die out after a while.
Once you liberate Treefall, the Elder will talk
about the Sentinel Tree, which is just north.
He gives the party the Magic Key to open the
Seal to the Sentinel Tree. Buy Sandor and
Lynx an Ice Sickle, Rachel a Kaiser Claw,
and P.J a Great Bow at the Weapon Shop.
Buy P.J a Wizard's Robe and a Raider's Cap
at the Armor Shop. Buy Sandor and Rachel
a Goat's Beard and P.J a Lotus at the Item
Shop (save if for Bosses). Level up to 32, and
stock up on items.
Once you have what you need, head North to
the Sentinel Tree. Head up to the tree and search
the center of it. P.J finds the seal and unlocks it.
Go inside. Monsters in here are Super Strong.
Make sure you have a Lotus and Wind Pipe
equipped on P.J so that her magic can do some
good damage. Malybu and Flame work the best
on these monsters. Go down each stairway until
you reach the Fire Lake. This is an excellent place
to gain Exp.
Follow down until you come to a fork. Right will
lead to a Goat's Beard and Left will continue. At
the next fork, down leads to a Lava Ring (get it),
and up continues. At the next fork, down leads to
a Goddess' Love and up continues. At the next
fork, left leads to a Stardust and right continues. At
the final fork, right leads to a Lifestone (Get it or else
I will hit you over the head with a bottle of Oakhurst
Milk. If you die and it is used, reset so that you can
save it for the final battle). Go left to continue.
This battle is remarkibly easy, as long as Sandor
and Lynx have an Ice Sickle equipped. Its best
attack is Inferno, and even that doesn't do much.
I was at level 35, and it didn't take me long. Have
Sandor, Rachel, and Lynx attack and have P.J
cast Shock. If HP runs low, use an Herbal Extract
or have Lynx cast Restore. Once it is dead, grab
the Fire Orb and listen to what P.J has to say about
Igneus' master. Unequip Rachel and cast Alakazam
or use an Exit Stone.
Once you get out, Rachel will talk to Sandor. She
says that she will stay in Treefall. Listen to a heart
warming goodbye. Head back to Treefall to rest
up and sell Rachel's equipment. If you wish to see
Rachel again, she is staying at the Elder's House in
Treefall. Head back to the Sentinel Tree and exit
the north side to enter the Marwick Kingdom.
Walk a ways north from Sentinel to the town of
Marl. Talk to the Mayor at the upper part of town.
He will say that Otto has gone to the Shrine of
Toth. Grab the 8000 G from the chest and buy
Lynx a Dual Halberd and P.J a Mystic Rod. Also
buy Lynx a Silver Flute at the Item shop for Lynx
(it is a Shield for him). Rest up and stock up.
Head east from town to the Shrine of Toth. Go to
the Priestess guarding the door and talk to her.
She will let you in after a while. Talk to Otto and he
will talk a bit about the Eternal Lady. He then casts
a spell that allows you to view the past. You will see
a lady at the alter, who Sandor reconizes as Elin.
See a brief scene with Elin and Sadoul. They both
use their old names, Elynthia and Ardor (Igneus'
master and one of the magicians). Elin is the Eternal
Lady! (whoa, plot twist!)
Talk to the Priestess and she will tell Sandor of a
Hidden Labyrinth below the temple. Search the
Statue inside and talk to Otto and he will join. Look
at the statue again and after a funny segment, the
statue will move and reveal the stairway. Go down
the stairs and go straight up to the door. At the
crossing, left leads to an Exit Stone and right
continues to a door. Take it and at the next cross,
go right until you can go down. Go down to get a
Hellborne Axe, right to get a Strange Brew and
9999 G. Go up to the stairs.
Go around and take the 2nd left to a Rune Shield or
the 1st left to the Stairs. Go down and at the cross,
go left for a Barrier Stone and right for a Rune
Wristlet. Go down to the stairs. Go left (take the
1st down and follow to get 10000 G). Take the 2nd
path going down. Follow to the crossing. Go down
to get a Rune Armor or right to continue. At the
next cross, down leads to Holy Boots and up leads
to some stairs (after a long walk).
Follow the path up and grab the Legendary Armor
of Vay, which includes Blade, Armor, Gloves,
Helmet, and Shield. Too bad none of them work
too good right now. You need the last orb to
activate its power, so the defensive equipment
offers 0 defense. However, the Vay Blade works
fine and offers +254 Attack. Equip him with the
Vay Blade and exit Toth. Also by now, P.J's attacks
are worthless, so just stick her with a Staff and a
Lotus
