Now head to the southeastern island to the city of Gandino.
|
|
|
The castle town of Gandino is very interesting.
There has been a recent change of kings. There used to be an organized
crime ring, but the new king doesn't allow it. Search the town to
find Small Medal x6, Wayfarer's Clothes, Beauty Plant x2, 70 Gold,
Agility Seed, Wizard's Ring, Wisdom Seed, Fairy Water, Nut of Life,
and a Silver Bracelet. |
In the church, you'll find an old man that
prays for his daughter. He is very upset he was in the Gindoro. After
praying, he'll leave. |
|
|
The Gindoro used to have a strong influence
in the country. They were very cruel to all the people. |
In the large house in the eastern section
of town, you'll find the old man asking for his girl back. |
|
|
You'll learn he gave up the girl as payment.
After talking for a while, he'll leave. In case you haven't realized,
this place is the Gindoro Crime Ring. However, it no long operates. |
The man in bed mentions he got a scar 10
years ago on his arm and was nearly killed. |
|
|
The old man that's asleep downstairs mutters
something about Gandino and the Dark Emporer... hmm. |
In the well, you'll find a man that has
been hiding frm the Gindoro for a long time. |
|
|
Back in the old man's house, he'll mutter
Muri... in his sleep. Could it be Muriel? |
It was rumored that the last king gave
the Shield of Sufida to the Gindoro, but the rumor doesn't seem to
be true. |
|
|
Most people believe that the shield is
in a deep cave somewhere. The cave is said to be at the end of a river. |
The old man in the jail mentions a mysterious
girl with a flute that spoke about finding her brother. She escaped
long ago. |
|
|
You can move the stone by the old man to
reveal a staircase. This path must have been what the girl used to
escape. |
The scholar in the castle will tell you
some more directions for the shield: From the gargoyle statue go south,
head along the left hand wall at the T-Intersection, and search the
first corner. |
|
|
Talk to the King, he'll ask if peace has
returned. Say no, and he'll tell you to find the legendary shield. |
At the bottom of the tower, you'll find
the old Empress. |
|
|
She is very insane and tells you that the
old King is on a journey, and she is currently in charge of the country.
She warns you about a monster in the dungeon (the Pott). Now leave
Gandino. |
If you haven't figured out where our destination
is yet, it's the cavern directly east of Amoru. |
|
|
Upon arrival, head north. |
If you try to aimlessly wander through
here, you'll never find the way. This floor is a complete maze. Remember
the directions the soldier gave you a long time ago? Well, here they
are if you've forgotten: go north. At the T-Intersection, turn east.
Turn north at the first intersection, take the next intersection to
the west, and then continue south to reach the stairs. |
|
|
There are some other items on the first
floor though including a Defense Seed, 1900 Gold, and a Small Medal. |
After following the directions, you'll
end up at this staircase. Head down the stairs. |
|
|
Head west then south and go through the
exit. |
First head all the way south and through
the exit to get a chest with a Swordedge Armor inside. Return to the
previous room and head east. Take the northern exit to reach the center
of the floor. |
|
|
To the north, you'll find the Gargoyle
statue that the scholar mentioned. |
Follow his directions and search the ground
to find some stairs. Head down the stairs. |
|
|
Now you'll reach an endless loop of stairs.
Remember Poseidon's advice? It comes into play now. Head down 3 floors
and then head back up 2 floors. |
Head south through the newly created entrance
and head down the stairs. |
|
|
Now head west and through the entrance. |
Head south and take the first eastern exit. |
|
|
You'll reach this chest with a Small Medal
inside. Grab it and head back to the staircase. |
This time, take the eastern path from the
staircase. |
|
|
Head north then all the way west through
the exit. |
Walk up to the chest and open for the Shield
of Sufida. Equip it and leave the cavern. |
