Head north once in the underground passage. |
|
|
Head west and grab this chest for a Medical
Herb. |
The exit is up the stairs to the north. |
|
|
As you head north, stop by the well and
talk to the old man to be completely recovered. |
Your destination is this castle in the
northeastern area. |
|
|
Once in the castle, you'll notice this
fine and upstanding citizen doesn't like you. He can't let you inside
of the prison he's guarding so he decides to send you to hell instead.
Fun fun fun. |
Sorrow Giant:
The Sorrow Giant is just plain annoying. It's attacks can do around
200 damage. He can also summon mist to make it so no one can cast
spells. If you're leveled absurdly/have a level 14 or so Metal Babble,
cast Madante to do him in quickly. Otherwise, attacks like Grand Cross,
GigaSpark, and GigaSlash do quite a bit of damage to him. Most spells
only do around half or so damage to him so try to stick with physical
attacks. |
|
|
After beating the Sorrow Giant, it'll let
you pass. If you continue on, you won't be able to leave the prison
for a while so I recommend saving before going in. |
Talk to the second giant, a voice will
tell him to let you inside. He'll give you the Prison Key and ask
you to defeat Akbar, the ruler of this place. |
|
|
Once inside, you'll be escorted by the
guards. |
And promptly thrown into the dungeon. |
|
|
However, you have the Prison Key so you
can escape now. Head north over the lava by casting Stepguard (if
you have it) and go down the stairs. |
Grab the Small Medal from the pot and talk
to the guard. He'll reveal that he's General Soldi. |
|
|
After explaining how he got here, he'll
give you 4 Soldier's Unfiorms (heh) to help get you through the prison.
Use them to switch into the uniforms. Now leave the room. |
Now head to the southwestern corner and
head up the stairs. |
|
|
Welcome to the uh... Prison Town. Use the
Soldier Uniforms again to take them off. Seach around to find a Chain
Sickle, an Agility Seed, a Nut of Life, and a Small Medal. |
You'll also meet a guy researching how
to make Seeds of Power. Interesting... Anyways, put on you Soldier
Uniforms to leave the Prison Town. |
|
|
The castle has some pretty nice items-
search around to find a Nut of Magic, |
Upstairs, you'll find Dogma. Your soon-to-be
worst enemy. |
|
|
Upstairs you'll find Akbar's chamber, but
you can't get inside because of the soldier blocking it. Pity. |
Head east and up the tower. Search the
tower floor to find an often missed Small Medal. If you don't get
it now, you won't be able to get it later. |
|
|
Head west of Akbar's chamber and down the
stairs to reach these 3 chests. Cast Stepguard if you have it and
open them for a Small Medal, 4800 Gold, and a Shield of Ruin. Now
head back down to the Prison Town. |
Talk to Lee in the bar, and you'll tell
her that Sister Anna is to marry Akbar tomorrow. |
|
|
Lee will thank you for the information
and ask if you plan to fight Akbar. Tell her that you do. She'll tell
you to speak to the shopkeeper. |
The shopkeeper will tell you to speak to
Gon in the lower right corner. |
|
|
Talk to Gon, and he'll let you pass. |
The shopkeeper will tell you it's rather
futile to try to beat Akbar, but he'll offer you some wine if you
don't tell the soldiers about him. He tells you the wine in the right
barrel is 'special.' Now try to leave. |
|
|
As you walk down, 3 soldiers come into
the town. They say it's time to execute another prisoner. |
As he's placed in the guillotine, Gon tells
you to do something about it- he can't since he has a wife and kids
to take care of. The guards decide that you should join the man in
his execution. |
|
|
Prison Guard x2:
This battle is really easy- all the Prison Guards do is attack. Just
make sure your HP doesn't fall too low and keep pounding away. |
After you beat the 2 Prison Guards, the
other 3 try to attack you, but suddenly Dogma and Zozogel decide to
interrupt and end you. |
|
|
Dogma & Zozogel:
This battle is literally impossible- well, maybe not. If you spend
time trying to completely level up a Metalbabble, chances are, you're
strong enough to beat them. The trick is to do it in under 7 rounds-
on the 7th, Dogma will paralyze the entire party ending the battle.
Here's the trick- begin the battle with Barbara and a Metal Babble
casting Madante- this will kill Zozogel and should do around 2200
damage to Dogma. Now have the Hero cast Bikill on Hassan and have
him use Powerup. Have Hassan do a Powerup-Spirit Punch and have the
Hero do the same while Barbara and the Metal Babble attack. If the
punch hits, it does nearly 2000 damage. |
R0x0r. You'll get 1500 exp for winning.
|
|
|
Yet somehow, in your brutal beatdown on
Zozogel and Dogma, you'll lose. Aw nutbunnies. I'm not dead... |
You're thrown back in jail, and your uniforms
and key are confiscated. Well bah. |
|
|
However the next morning, the wine has
taken it's toll and knocked out most of the guards. Gon and some of
the others kill one of the soldiers and take the key and release you.
Now head upstairs. |
Upstairs, you'll meet Tonra of the rebel
army. He'll say that your bravery has inspired the rebels to finally
revolt. Tonra will ask you to take care of Akbar while they take care
of the soldiers. |
|
|
Tonra will then give you 4 Seeds of Strength
and your Prison Key. Now head upstairs to Akbar's chamber. Before
heading inside, you'll run into Zozogel again. If you want to fight
him, talk to him. |
Zozogel:
The same guy as before. This battle is rather easy- just have a Bikill-PowerUp-Spirit
Punch combo, and Zozogel will fall in no time. He does have a tendency
to kill Metalbabbles rather easily though. Also, try to conserve your
MP. |
|
|
Akbar is rather happy to see you here as
he can supposedly prove how the 'prophecy' isn't true. He and his
guardians will attack. |
Akbar & Guardian x2:
Begin the battle by casting StopSpell on Akbar so he won't be able
to revive the Guardians. Take them out as soon as possible. Akbar
falls really quickly to a Bikill-PowerUp-Spirit Punch combo. |
