Head northeast of Mudo's Castle on the ship, and you'll reach Arcbolt.
|
|
|
Upon entering Arcbolt, you'll run into
a blue swordsman carrying a coffin. How strange... |
Read the sign to learn the current situation. |
|
|
Talk to the guards, and they'll let you
enter. |
Stay at the inn and recover then talk to
the soldier seen in the picture. He'll challenge you to a fight. |
|
|
Garcia:
Garcia is very easy to defeat. Begin the battle with the Hero
casting Sap, and Muriel casting Increase. Have Hassan use the Spirit
Punch, and everyone else attack. Whoever has the Gent Cane should
use it to heal when necessary. If Amos is in your party, have him
use Transform. After defeating Garcia, he'll let you pass. |
Talk to the soldier blocking the stairs,
and he'll tell you that you did a good job and maybe he'll get to
fight you. He'll head upstairs and you should too. Now that the castle
is free to explore, search it to find Small Medal x2, a Silk Robe,
and some Slime Clothes. |
|
|
2 Guards stand blocking the way to the
King's Chamber. If you want to enter, you'll have to get through them
first. |
Scott & Holidy:
This battle is not difficult either. Scott is very annoying- kill
him first. He'll cast Defense on your party and Bikill on either himself
or Holidy. Holidy will only attack. Amos's Transform works wonderfully
here. Hassan should use Spirit Punch, and the Hero should attack.
Heal with the Gent Cane when necessary. After defeating them, you
may see the King. |
|
|
The King explains that you've been fighting
the guards so he can find the strongest person in the land. They need
to kill the monster in the northern tunnels, and all the soldiers
that went there died except for Brast. |
Now you will fight Brast. He asks you to
meet him in the Training Room which is in the southwestern corner
of the castle. Head there. |
|
|
Brast introduces himself and asks if you
are ready. |
Brast:
Brast is much harder than the other guards, but he isn't too difficult.
You must cast Increase- Brast loves to hit the entire party at once.
Sap will not work so don't even bother casting it. Have Hassan use
Berserk since Spirit Punch will never hit. Amos isn't helpful in this
battle since Brast is immune to the Vacuums and the Quake attack.
Have Chamoro handy in case some one dies during the battle. |
|
|
After defeating Brast, head to the throne
room since the King wishes to give you something. |
The King offers you the Sword of Thunder
if you can defeat the monster inside the Northern Tunnel. But, he
wants proof and gives you a coffin to bring the monster back in. |
|
|
Head north to reach the Northern Tunnel. |
Head down the stairs then southeast through
the workers's area. |
|
|
Head east until you reach the soldiers.
Talk to the soldier, and he'll let you pass. You'll have to kill a
Horror Walker and a Fighting Panther before you can enter the cavern. |
The next area is a large windy path. Continue
heading north. You can find a Defense Seed and 580 Gold. |
|
|
In the next floor, first head northeast
then south to reach a chest with a Battleaxe inside it. |
Now head to the southwestern corner of
the cave and head down the stairs. |
|
|
On the next floor, head west then head
all the way north to reach the monster. |
If you examine one of the whole eggs, a
Hell Viper will pop out and attack you. If you have a dancer, use
Entice Dance every round, and the Hell Viper will never get a turn. |
|
|
At the far end of the cave, you'll see
Terry, the blue swordsman, has already made it here before you. |
Terry crushed many of the monster's eggs,
and now the beast wants Terry's head. |
|
|
Try talking to the monster, and Terry will
yell at you to get out of the way. |
You'll then see a short scene in which
Terry brutally defeats the monster with style. |
|
|
After defeating the monster, Terry leaves,
victorious. Doh. Return to Arcbolt. |
When you get to the castle, Terry gloats
about his victory and laughs at you. |
|
|
Talk to the King, and he'll say how much
more powerful Terry will be. Joy. Now head back to the Northern Tunnel. |
