Haou Taikei Ryuu Knight – Lord of Paladin Complete Walkthrough

Adeu is wrapping up a day of training when an old man who calls himself the Great Sage Naji turns up with a present: Zephyr, a Ryu Knight of Adeu's very own. Naji sets the goal for the whole game: train across the continent, gather companions, and win the Grand Tournament at Earth's Blade on the Road to Paladin. This chapter also covers what happens when you lose.

Walkthrough

1. MainThe game opens with Adeu calling it a day after training. Someone is watching: an old man who introduces himself as the Great Sage Naji. Adeu tells him he looks like a plain old geezer, which Naji does not appreciate.
2. MainNaji tells you about Earthtia, the Realm of the Sword, where knights, mages, gunmen and ninja all train to become the greatest hero in the world. He says he sees promise in Adeu and has brought him a present.
3. MainThe present is Zephyr, a Ryu Knight, and it's yours from today. Earthtia's greatest hero is decided at the Grand Tournament, and Naji wants you to test your might there and become the Lightspeed Paladin. → checklist
4. MainNaji's instructions: your training can start anywhere on this continent, so do whatever you like. Find companions, then set out from Whale's Valley for Earth's Blade, where the tournament is held. This part of Earthtia is divided into 12 areas, and Naji will be waiting for you at Earth's Blade. → checklist
5. TipNaji's 12 areas are the 12 episodes of this guide. Press X and choose World Map: the area you're in is outlined and its episode title appears at the top. Press Left/Right to pick another episode and A to warp to its starting area. This works from the very first screen (Episode 8, Purple Town, only with the Aqualung equipped). → checklist
6. MainAfter the opening you're in Westguns town (map 09), the setting of Episode 1. Carry on in Episode 1.
7. TipPress SELECT to summon or dismiss Zephyr, but only where the game allows a Ryu. Before a Ryu battle Adeu calls it with 'Ryu Knight!! Zephyr!!'. Your first Ryu battle is against Delias in Episode 1.
8. TipGear does nothing until you equip it; just carrying it is no use. Adeu says so himself in Episode 1. Weapons and armor also need regular upkeep at the shops.
9. TipSave from the X menu: System > Save. The save screen shows each file's level and the place you saved in. Saving worked everywhere we tried, including inside a dungeon.
10. TipIf the party falls, Naji appears and asks if you'll give up. Answer 'I won't give up!' (or 'Of course!' when Sarutobi leads) and you get back up with full HP. 'I give up…' (or 'Alas…') resets the game: anything since your last save is lost. → checklist
11. TipNaji sounds sterner each time ('This is your last chance!'), but continues are unlimited: the game keeps no count. The exception is a story Ryu battle: lose one and the game resets, so save before them. → checklist
12. TipNaji's question changes with the leader: 'Defeat ill becomes a ninja!' when Sarutobi leads, the Lightspeed Paladin speech when Adeu does.
13. TipIf your save data is damaged, Adeu tells you the data is all messed up and to reset and start over.

Checklist

📍 Westguns · Westguns Region · Westguns desert · Onion Town

Great Sage Naji hands Adeu the Ryu Knight Zephyr and sends him off to win the Grand Tournament at Earth's Blade. In the outlaw town of Westguns, Delias and the Menchi Brothers want Zephyr for themselves, while in Onion Town the Brat Kid Gang is fencing stolen goods with a little help from the sheriff. Beat them all, and Delias comes back with a hired Solid pilot, Rald.

You need: Nothing (start of the game)

Walkthrough

1. MainAfter the opening, Great Sage Naji gives you Zephyr, your own Ryu Knight. Your goal: train anywhere on the continent, gather companions, then set out from Whale's Valley for the Grand Tournament at Earth's Blade. → checklist
2. TipControls: A attacks, talks and opens chests (stand on the chest), B jumps, X opens the menu, Y the item bar. SELECT summons or dismisses Zephyr, but only where a Ryu is allowed: not inside Westguns or Onion Town.
3. TipLose a fight and Great Sage Naji offers you another chance, as often as you need. Story Ryu battles are the exception: losing one resets the game.
4. WarningWestguns is an outlaw hangout. If you talk to a certain boy while carrying 100 G or more, he asks Adeu for 100 G and runs off with it while Adeu recites his Ethos of Chivalry. It only happens once. To avoid it, talk to the Cactus Factory worker or Foreman Scott first, or carry less than 100 G. → checklist
5. MainTalk around Westguns. You hear that an outlaw is running wild on North Hill, that West Hill is where the money is, and that the Menchi Brothers are up to something again.
6. TipThe young man in house 13 tells you about a ruin in the Desert of Ruins with its top broken off. Talk to him: the Ruins of Lemuriad (Episode 12) only react once you've heard this.
7. SideAnna says you'll need a Lantern for Border Fort in the Kingdom of Pafuricia and sends you to Shanis. Shanis tells you thieves from Onion Town stole it. Dos refuses to sell you anything for now. → checklist
8. WarningBefore you talk to Rina in Westguns, walk onto the marked spot north of town on map 06. Adeu remembers that gear needs upkeep, and this places the Lucky Goblin in the Lava Cave (Episode 9), who gives the Hidden Item (equipped, it protects Adeu or Sarutobi on foot from enemies, lava, poison and status effects; it does nothing in Ryu battles). Once Rina has warned you, that spot only triggers the Delias ambush and the goblin can never appear. Afterwards, a World Map warp to Episodes 2-7 or 10-12 removes him for good; warps to Episodes 1, 8 and 9 are safe. → checklist
9. TipRina warns you that the Menchi Brothers and Delias are after your Ryu, and that Delias hired a Solid pilot, Rald. Westguns' shops are next to her: herbs from 150 GG, shields from 5000 GG, and the Sunrise West inn. Gear only works once you equip it. → checklist
10. MainLeave Westguns north into the Westguns Region (map 06, chest A holds 2500 GG). Delias and the Menchi Brothers ambush you there, on the spot marked on map 06. Adeu calls Zephyr for your first Ryu battle. → checklist
11. MainCross the Westguns desert to Onion Town: map 01, north to map 02, east to map 03 (chest A: Bitter Seed), south to map 04, then east into Onion Town (map 08). It's full of monsters out here.
12. SideOptional: the east edge of map 03 leads to the abandoned Mist Station (map 07). Vice's gang guards it with Solid Bombers, and chest A there holds 4500 GG. Beat Vice and Foreman Scott pays you 100 G. → checklist
13. MainIn Onion Town everyone warns you about the Brat Kid Gang: Arena and the brothers Dowaru and Kowaru, who deal in stolen goods. The sheriff tells bounty hunters to get lost, and a boy says he's been acting strange lately.
14. MainConfront the gang and accuse them of fencing stolen goods through Dos. The sheriff steps in on their side: he's in on it. Beat Arena, her brothers and the sheriff in the fight that follows (map EA). → checklist
15. MainArena and the sheriff run off. The sheriff turns out to be a fake. The real one thanks you and says the gang had a bounty on their heads: collect it from the sheriff in West Hill. → checklist
16. SideTalk to Zinnia, the old mage in Onion Town. She warns you that Delias and his Solid pilot Rald are after you, and asks you to visit her again if you win.
17. TipEterna's Tavern won't serve you before the gang is dealt with. Once you've saved the town, the barkeeper says drinks are on her. → checklist
18. SideLantern: back in Westguns, Dos now has it and admits the game is up. Tell Shanis, who says the Lantern is yours. Dos still wants 1000 G and won't knock a single Golgol off. Answer Yes to pay 1000 G and get the Lantern. → checklist
19. MainDelias ambushes you again, this time with his bodyguard Rald, the best Solid pilot in the Westguns Region. Win the Ryu battle and the pair run off. The game drops you in the Westguns Region north of Onion Town (map 11). → checklist
20. SideVisit Zinnia again. Impressed that you beat Rald, she says you'll need Jada's help to reach the Grand Tournament: he's a mage in Onion Cave, and his box (the item is called Jada's Wood Box) holds a fragment of the Ruins of Lemuriad, which must go to the Desert of Ruins. → checklist
21. TipRina is relieved you beat Delias and Rald and reminds you she runs a real item shop. People in Westguns start praising your bounties. → checklist
22. TipShields and Gauntlets each block one ailment: Doxi = Poison, Slip = Paralysis, Conf = Confusion, Ston = Stone, Ashiria = all four. Weapons and armor wear out, so drop by a smith now and then.
23. TipSmiths do more than sharpen. Tempering (weapon shop) or repairing (armor shop) costs 100 G, and when the party leader has reached level 11, 21, 31, 41 or 51 the smith swaps the equipped piece for the next model: Knife → Bronze Sword → Iron Sword → Bastard Sword → Great Sword → Mithril Sword, and Leather Armor → Scale Armor → Chain Mail → Plate Armor → Suit Armor → Mithril Armor. Below that level he only fixes it. Full table on the equipment page.
24. MainOnion Gorge has been blocked by a landslide for two years, so the way on is Onion Cave. Leave Onion Town by the north edge of map 0F into the Westguns Region (map 11) and go on to Episode 2.

📍 Westguns Region · Onion Cave · West Hill · North Hill

With Onion Gorge buried by a landslide, the road north runs through Onion Cave, home of the cranky mage Jada. In West Hill the sheriff pays your first bounty and hands out side jobs. In North Hill the bandit Banbara holds the mayor's house, and your old acquaintance Katze shows up in the middle of the showdown, trying to sell weapons.

You need: Beat the Brat Kid Gang in Onion Town (Ep. 1) to have a bounty to collect in West Hill; nothing else is known to be required.

Walkthrough

1. MainFrom Onion Town's north edge you reach the Westguns Region (map 11). Its two cave doors lead into Onion Cave. Onion Gorge is blocked, so the cave is the only way on.
2. SideJada, the mage Zinnia told you about, lives at the far end of Onion Cave: take the door at the top of map 12 and he stands on map 3F (marked on the map). On this visit he has nothing to tell you and brushes off Zinnia's name. Remember him: he matters in Episode 4. → checklist
3. MainWork through Onion Cave (maps 12, 19, 1A, 1B, 1C; see the map links). The door at the top of map 12 only leads to Jada's spot (map 3F), with no way on. People in West Hill are amazed you made it through.
4. MainHead on to West Hill. Talk to the sheriff: he can hardly believe you beat the Brat Kid Gang and pays you the reward from HQ, 10000 G. → checklist
5. MainThe sheriff then offers you a side job. Answer Yes and pick one: Banbara Trouble, Tavern waiter or Delivery boy. Ask him again for the others. → checklist
6. SideDelivery boy: go to Mary's house. She gives you Mary's Letter for Jinny in Elf Village (Episode 3). Its description: 'Mary's letter… no peeking!' → checklist
7. SideTavern waiter: Mama at the tavern asks you to take orders. Gen wants a beer, Shige wants edamame. Serve both and Mama pays you 50 G. → checklist
8. TipAdeu finds a cactus blocking a road here. The Cactus Glove (Dwarf Kingdom, Episode 4) is needed later for the cacti on the Friedel field (map 7C); we found no cactus you can lift in West Hill.
9. TipWest Hill shops: Miyan's Item Shop, West Herbacy, Thomas's Armor Shop and Jack's Weapon Shop, plus the New Holiday Inn. Townsfolk recommend keeping your sword honed and resting at the inn. → checklist
10. TipSmiths do more than sharpen. Tempering (weapon shop) or repairing (armor shop) costs 100 G, and when the party leader has reached level 11, 21, 31, 41 or 51 the smith swaps the equipped piece for the next model: Knife → Bronze Sword → Iron Sword → Bastard Sword → Great Sword → Mithril Sword, and Leather Armor → Scale Armor → Chain Mail → Plate Armor → Suit Armor → Mithril Armor. Below that level he only fixes it. Here: Jack's Weapon Shop and Thomas's Armor Shop. → checklist
11. MainBanbara Trouble: the sheriff sends you to the sheriff of North Hill. The road between the two towns runs through maps 42, 41 and 40; North Hill starts at map 2E, west of map 40. → checklist
12. MainNorth Hill is crawling with bandits, and the townsfolk are too scared to speak. The sheriff laughs at the idea of a kid bounty hunter, but if you mean it, the bandits are using the mayor's house as their base.
13. MainGo into the mayor's house (map ED, the door on map 2E). Banbara threatens the townsfolk if you try anything. As the fight is about to start, Katze barges in trying to sell everyone weapons. → checklist
14. MainAdeu shoves Katze aside and she leaves you to it. Beat Banbara (battle map E9). He runs off swearing revenge. → checklist
15. MainKatze praises you a bit too much, then asks to join. This time Adeu turns her down, and she leaves saying you'll meet again. → checklist
16. MainCollect Banbara's bounty, 10000 G, from the North Hill sheriff. The mayor thanks you, and back in West Hill the sheriff suggests giving Mama at the tavern a hand. → checklist
17. TipNorth Hill shops: Yanyan's Item Shop (Spring, Wing Sandals, Speed Shoes) and the North Herb Shop, which pays top price for herbs. Todo's Armor Shop sells one piece per character (Ashiria Shield or Gauntlet, depending on who leads). Narman's Weapon Shop is closed for the day. Inn: Hotel 555. → checklist
18. TipKatze isn't gone for good. When you come back to North Hill later with Paffy and Izumi, she asks to come along again. → checklist
19. TipRumors worth remembering: Vice's Solid Bombers at Mist Station (Episode 1), Master Smith Gladd's armor, and the Warp Gate from the Kingdom of Pafuricia to Whale's Valley, the only way to Earth's Blade.
20. MainIf you took the Delivery job, take Mary's Letter to Jinny in Elf Village (Episode 3) (equip it first: X > Status > Item slot), then come back to Mary for 5000 G. → checklist

📍 Gratches Village · Jerock Forest · Elf Village

Adeu drops in on his old rival Gratches at his dojo, only to find him refusing to enter the Grand Tournament: the fiend Hellreet, who killed his brother Chamber, is back. A few harsh words from Adeu snap him out of it, and Gratches joins you. East through Jerock Forest lies Elf Village, where Mary's parcel finds its owner and the chief is hiding a worry he's too embarrassed to share.

You need: Nothing (pick the area on the world map); bring Mary's parcel from West Hill (Ep. 2) if you took the Delivery job

Walkthrough

1. MainChoose this area on the world map. The warp drops you in Jerock Forest (map 31). Gratches Village is to the west: leave map 31 by its west edge onto the village path (map 30). Elf Village is east of the forest.
2. TipOn several field maps (Jerock Forest maps 32 and 33, among others) Adeu spots a stone he'd like to chuck at the monsters. Equip the Magic Glove on your party leader and press A to pick a stone up, then throw it. The named cameo characters you may have heard about live in V-Jan Village (Episode 6), not here.
3. MainIn Gratches Village, the trainees take you for a tournament entrant. One promises they'll guard the place for Master Gratches. Gratches's dojo is the courtyard at the north end (map 23).
4. MainTalk to Gratches. He says he isn't worthy of the Grand Tournament: Hellreet, the fiend who killed his brother Chamber, is back at Chamber's Fort, and he's afraid someone else from his clan will die. → checklist
5. MainAdeu calls him a loser to his face, and it works. Gratches vows to slay Hellreet and asks to come with you to Rain Town, where someone from his clan knows about Hellreet and Chamber's Fort. He joins your party. → checklist
6. TipWith two members in the party, L and R swap the leader. Gratches leaves his canary to watch the dojo while he's away.
7. MainHead east through Jerock Forest: from map 31 go east to map 33, then north into Elf Village (map 47). The north path (maps 32, 34) leads on toward the Gigamazon River, the next area.
8. MainElf Village. The villagers point you to the chief's house and say he's been down lately. Talk to him: he only stares at you, then says it's too embarrassing to talk about and asks you to leave. You can't help him yet. → checklist
9. SideDelivery boy: find Jinny, who came here from West Hill, and hand over Mary's parcel, with Mary's Letter equipped (X > Status > Item slot). She asks you to tell Mary she's doing fine. → checklist
10. SideGo back to Mary's house in West Hill. She thanks you with 5000 G, enough that Adeu asks if she's sure. → checklist
11. TipAn elf woman offers to let you rest in her house. Answer Yes to recover. She charges for it, and turns you away if you can't pay. → checklist
12. TipA villager named Welch is sick and coughing. This is what weighs on the chief. He only explains once Sarutobi, Paffy and Izumi travel with you (a later episode); his reward then is the Sand Shoes you need to cross the desert, and Welch adds 3000 G. → checklist
13. TipDirections from the elves: the Gigamazon River is north of the village, and you can't cross it to reach Friedel; go through the Dwarf Kingdom instead. The Pirani tribe by the river will cheat you of your money.
14. TipCome back to the dojo later with Paffy in the party and Gratches challenges you to a Ryu duel. You can fight him again any time after that. → checklist
15. MainNext: Gratches wants to go to Rain Town and then on to Chamber's Fort (later episodes). North of Jerock Forest the Gigamazon River waits (Episode 4).

📍 Jerock Forest · Gigamazon River · Dwarf Kingdom

Past Jerock Forest the Gigamazon River blocks the way, and the only road on to Friedel runs through the Dwarf Kingdom. There every dwarf has been struck dumb: the Arm Dragon has stolen their voices. Only Jada, the cranky mage of Onion Cave, can open the hidden cave where it lurks.

You need: Nothing to start (the world map drops you on the Gigamazon River). To free the dwarves you also need a trip back to Jada in Onion Cave (Ep. 2).

Walkthrough

1. MainPick Episode 4 on the world map to land on the Gigamazon River (map 38). On foot, you get here from Jerock Forest: its last screen (map 35) runs straight onto the river banks.
2. WarningThe Pirani at the river dock want '[1000000G] a head' for a boat. Their cheaper '[100G]' deal really takes 100 G, and it only lets you past them: there's no boat, and they tell you to swim. Don't pay. The river can't be crossed anyway. → checklist
3. SideThe Banana lies by the river on map 35 (Jerock Forest, at the river's edge), but it isn't there at first: it only appears once you have the Fire Orb (Episode 5), have sprung the water trap in Chamber's Fort (Episode 9) and have returned the Mithril Ring (Episode 9). Adeu pockets it to feed to some beast later; the beasts of Ice Town trade an Aqualung for it (Ep. 7). → checklist
4. MainFollow the river screens (37, 38, 39) to the cave door on map 3A. It opens into the Dwarf Kingdom tunnels. Work through maps 61, 4D, 60, 4C, 4B and 4A to the dwarves' underground town (map 49).
5. SideTunnel map 4B has a chest with 5000 G (chest A on the map).
6. MainThe town is far too quiet. Every dwarf you talk to only manages '………', until one gasps that everyone's voices were stolen. They blame the Arm Dragon and say only the mage Jada can save them. Adeu remembers the odd old man in Onion Cave. → checklist
7. TipThe Dwarf shops and Hotel Dwarf are silent ('………') too: the game opens them only after the dwarves get their voices back. Bring healing from outside.
8. MainGo back to Jada at the far end of Onion Cave (Ep. 2). He only takes you seriously after the voices-stolen scene: you must have met him once, talked to the silent dwarves in the town and in their houses (including the man who asks 'What's going on here!'), and walked into the next tunnel (map 61) where a dwarf gasps that their voices were stolen. Then ask Jada about the Dwarf Kingdom: Adeu shouts the Ethos of Chivalry, and Jada dares him to beat the Arm Dragon. He lifts the barrier on its hidden cave ('Open… Rune, Rune!'). → checklist
9. TipBefore you leave, Jada warns that the Arm Dragon is a strong one and tells you to come and see him again if you win.
10. MainReturn to the Dwarf Kingdom's deep tunnel (map 62). Examine the north wall of its west room (marked on the map): you enter the hidden cave, map 63 (we couldn't test whether the spot already works before Jada's spell). The Arm Dragon is fought on foot. → checklist
11. MainWith the dragon gone, Adeu sighs 'Now the dwarves can rest easy.' Back in town the dwarves can speak again and thank you.
12. SideThe Dwarf shops now open. They only sell; you can't sell anything to them. The Dwarf Item Shop stocks Spring (5000 G), which Jump Mats need. The Dwarf Armor Shop carries every shield and gauntlet up to the Ashiria pair, which guard against all ailments. Hotel Dwarf takes guests again. → checklist
13. TipThe Dwarf Armor and Weapon shops only sell: their menus have no repair or tempering option. For tempering, use the smiths in Friedel Town (Ep. 5).
14. SidePick up the Cactus Glove in the Dwarf Kingdom tunnels (map 4A, marked on the map): Adeu says 'you could even hold a cactus with' it ('Touch a cactus… ouch… or not!'). A cactus blocks a road elsewhere, and Adeu bumps into one on the Friedel field (Ep. 6). → checklist
15. TipOther spots in this block: the 'Did someone leave it behind?' spot on map 62 is the Fern Herb (you can take it once the Elf chief has told you about it); the weird rock and the vein of Mithril in an old mine are just flavor.
16. TipStones Adeu would 'chuck at the monsters' lie on several field maps. Equip the Magic Glove (1000 G at the Dwarf Item Shop) on your party leader, press A at a stone to lift it and throw it. None of them blocks a path.
17. MainGo back to Jada once more. Impressed, he hands you a box to use at the Ruins of Lemuriad: Jada's Wood Box. He reminds you that you need it to reach Earth's Blade. → checklist
18. TipZinnia (Ep. 2) explains why: the box holds a fragment of the Ruins of Lemuriad, which has to go to the Desert of Ruins before you can reach Whale's Valley.
19. MainWhen you're ready, leave the dwarves' town by its other cave door (map 49 to map 3D). It comes out on the Friedel field. Since the river can't be crossed, this is the road to Friedel (Ep. 5).
20. SideLater, once Izumi, Sarutobi and Paffy travel with you, the Elf Village chief admits he lost a Fern Herb in a Dwarf Kingdom cave (Ep. 3). It lies on map 62 (marked on the map; 'This is what the chief meant!'). Take it back to cure Welch, with the Fern Herb equipped when you talk to the chief, and he gives you the Sand Shoes you need to cross the desert. Welch adds 3000 G. → checklist
21. TipThe river and tunnels are full of named fans (a dog who can talk, a would-be dancer, a kid who calls Adeu the 'Slownic Knight'). They're just for fun.

📍 Friedel · Friedel Town · Magic School

Friedel Town is buzzing with rumors: Madora has started a Mage Hunt, and mages keep vanishing into Madora Castle. At the Magic School, Principal Yudis tells Adeu that Izumi has been caught as well, and Floi asks for Zephyr's strength to move the tombstone that seals the castle. Inside, the Three Phantom Knights are pulling Madora's strings.

You need: Nothing to start (the world map drops you on the Friedel field). You need Zephyr and Floi's Stone Glove (equipped) for the tombstone.

Walkthrough

1. MainCome out of the Dwarf Kingdom onto the Friedel field (map 3D), or pick Episode 5 on the world map to land on map 3C. Head for Friedel Town: map 3D runs east into the town's outskirts (map 55), which join the main streets (map 56).
2. TipThe shops share one building (map 5B): Nyanko's Item Shop, the Dope Shop, Perfect Guard, Clang-Clang Arms and the Holiday Inn. Nyanko's stocks the Mist Tank (50000 G), Wing Sandals and Speed Shoes. The Dope Shop won't buy herbs ('ya need a license'). Other shops buy at half price. → checklist
3. TipTempering pays off. For 100 G, Clang-Clang Arms swaps the party leader's weapon for the next model once that character has reached level 11, 21, 31, 41 or 51: Knife, Bronze Sword, Iron Sword, Bastard Sword, Great Sword, Mithril Sword (Sarutobi's line runs from Bronze Shuriken up to Mithril Ninjato). Perfect Guard's 'Repair armor!' does the same for body armor: Leather Armor up to Mithril Armor (DP 10 to 58), ninja garb up to the Mithril Mail Shirt. Warning: the level-51 step happens only once, and two other smiths give better gear at that step (see the equipment page). → checklist
4. MainTalk around town. People whisper that Madora has started a Mage Hunt, mages are being taken to Madora Castle, and none have been seen lately. Make sure you talk to the girl who says 'You want to go to the Magic School? Try asking Ikuru.' Ikuru won't let you pass until you have.
5. MainIkuru guards a tunnel that starts in a Friedel Town house (map E1). Before the girl's tip he says 'You can't go through here.' After it, he decides you're the person Principal Yudis mentioned and lets you through for good. → checklist
6. TipFloi waits in the tunnel to town. Meet him before Principal Yudis and he only says 'Come back later!'
7. MainFollow the tunnel (map 4E) into the school (map CF). Principal Yudis is in the principal's office. He tells you someone is controlling Madora to seize magic, Madora has done something to Izumi, and a Mage Hunt has begun. He asks you to help Floi.
8. MainTalk to Floi again and agree to help. He needs Zephyr's strength to move the tombstone that seals Madora Castle, and gives you the Stone Glove for it ('Strange power moves headstones!'). Bax rounds up more helpers. Keep it from the townspeople. → checklist
9. TipRumors to remember: Purple Town has sunk to the bottom of the lake, you'll need an Aqualung to go there, and monkey-like beasts were seen playing with one. The lake entrance is on the block-13 Friedel field maps (Ep. 7-8).
10. MainThe way to Madora Castle is blocked by a big tombstone on the Friedel field, map D7 (marked on the map). On foot Adeu only says it 'doesn't look like I can pass' (or, after Floi's talk, that Zephyr can handle it). Equip Floi's Stone Glove (X > Status > Item slot), summon Zephyr with SELECT and walk into the stone: it slides west. Then go north to map D8 and through the castle door into Madora Castle (map F1). The stone is back in place every time you return to this screen. → checklist
11. MainInside Madora Castle the ghosts keep coming back: someone is controlling them. A trapped mage says the eyes of the Phantom Paintings see everything. Shift the paintings until one 'won't move any further' to find the way on. The castle runs F1 → DB → DC / EE → EF / 75 (see the maps); the trapped mages are on map DC. → checklist
12. MainOther mages warn that Madora is being controlled too, by the Three Phantom Knights (the Dark Skeleton Knights, guards of Friedel Castle), and that the Great Hall door is sealed by a spell. Izumi is with Madora, under a spell, behind that door.
13. MainFloi and his friends catch up, battered. Floi tells you the three knights once took Friedel Castle on their own, then holds off the enemies so you can go after Madora. (map 75)
14. MainReach Izumi and Madora. Izumi is under a spell, and Madora unleashes the Three Phantom Knights. Heal first, then win the fight in the hall (map B2). → checklist
15. MainAfterwards you're back outside on the Friedel field (map D7). Izumi apologizes: he went to save the mages and fell under the spell himself. Izumi joins you. Hurry back to Principal Yudis. → checklist
16. MainPrincipal Yudis is relieved to see you both. Izumi blames the Three Phantom Knights and senses powerful magic at Friedel Castle. Yudis gives you the Fire Orb ('Lifts Friedel Castle's barrier!'). Equip it later to open the gate into the Friedel strongholds (Ep. 6). Floi thanks you too. → checklist
17. SideTalk to the rescued mages around the school. One gives you a Tomioka Seed as thanks. If your bag is full, Adeu turns it down ('I can't carry any more!'); free a slot and talk to the mage again. → checklist
18. WarningOnce Izumi is with you, beware a Poison Mud Apple on the block-13 Friedel field maps. If its mud hits Adeu, Izumi says a Fern Herb won't cure it: you'll need a Fern Seed, which is in Border Fort (Ep. 10). → checklist
19. MainNext stop: Friedel Castle, where Idoro's curse waits (Ep. 6).

📍 Chamber's Fort · Etania · Rain Town · Etania Cave

Past Chamber's Fort lies Etania and Rain Town, where it has rained since before the mayor was born. Gratches comes here to find a member of his clan and learn how to beat Hellreet, the Fiend of Flame who killed his brother. In the same town, Lazania's grandson Gesshin brings Adeu face to face with a battered Sarutobi.

You need: Gratches in the party (snap him out of it at his dojo, Ep. 3) to start the Hellreet story. Sarutobi joins at Lazania's house once you've heard the 'Samurai Granny' man in town.

Walkthrough

1. MainBring Gratches. After you shake him out of his gloom at his dojo, he asks to go to Rain Town, where someone from his clan knows all about Hellreet and Chamber's Fort. If you didn't recruit him there, he can also ask you on the road. → checklist
2. MainEtania lies past Chamber's Fort. From the fort's field, go south (A3, then 83) into Etania (84, 85, 87), then west to Rain Town (86, then 94). Picking Etania on the world map drops you on 85.
3. TipRain Town has the Rain General Store (items and herbs, buy only) and the Hotel Rainy Blue inn. Pick up a Spring here (5000 GG) if you don't have one: the Jump Mats in Chamber's Fort need it (without them you can't reach the chests on maps E2 and E5). → checklist
4. MainFind Yagumo, Gratches's clansman. He confirms that Hellreet is running wild at Chamber's Fort and warns that it has powerful magic. To beat it you must find three orbs, gather them in a certain place and undo the fort's trap. → checklist
5. MainHead back north to Chamber's Fort (orb puzzle, maps and chests in Ep. 9). Take out the Green, Red and Yellow Orbs and set each in its socket (equip the Orb first). When water pours out and a trap throws you elsewhere in the fort, you land where the Snow Shoes are. → checklist
6. MainSave Gratches when he gets into trouble. He asks if he's still a loser, and the two of you hurry back to Rain Town where his people are waiting.
7. MainReport to Yagumo: Hellreet is beaten. Gratches gives the credit to Adeu, then leaves the party to return to his village, promising you a match. → checklist
8. TipGratches keeps his promise. Visit his dojo later with Paffy in the party to spar with him in your Ryu; you can challenge him again as often as you like.
9. SideA boy asks what a Teru-Teru Doll is. Adeu tells him to hang a big one from the roof to stop the rain. Later the mayor asks if you taught him that strange charm, and the boy wonders whether it will work. No reward appears in the script. → checklist
10. SideTalk to the man who tells you about the mage on the edge of town, the 'Samurai Granny' (he jokes that you'd be 'Knight Granny'). Don't skip him: Lazania's grandson only comes home after you've heard this.
11. MainThen visit Lazania's house. Before the man's story she only says her grandson is out. Afterwards she hears him come home: it's Gesshin, and with him is Sarutobi. Gesshin found him badly hurt near Friedel Castle; Sarutobi says the one who beat him was Galden the Black Knight, back from the dead, and shows his scars. → checklist
12. MainSarutobi insists Galden is his enemy and calls Adeu a third-rate knight, and the two are about to spar until Gesshin tells them to join forces. They call a truce, Gesshin leaves for Whale's Valley to watch the enemy, and Sarutobi joins the party. Lazania sees you both off. → checklist
13. TipEtania Cave (entrance on map 88) runs through to the Desert of Ruins (A8 to D0). An old woman warns you won't come back alive, and the desert needs Sand Shoes. Leave it for Ep. 12.
14. TipOn these maps Adeu can trip on rocks, and he grumbles that there's no point carrying an item while he's in Zephyr.

📍 Friedel · Mithril Town · Goblin Kingdom · Chamber's Fort

Goblins led by Bopplin and his partner Bubblin have taken over the Mithril Mine. They've stripped Mithril Town of weapons and armor to feed their pet Goblem, and stolen the mayor's Mithril Ring. Take the mayor's job, fight through the Goblin Kingdom and win the ring back. Chamber's Fort, the trap-filled fort where Hellreet has returned, is also in this area.

You need: Nothing to start. Chamber's Fort's Jump Mats need a Spring; the Lava Cave needs Goblem's Eye from the Goblem Shrine.

Walkthrough

1. MainChoose this area on the world map. You arrive on the Friedel field (map 80), and the first local you meet tells you: 'This is Mithril Town.' The town proper is a short walk away: leave map 80 by the right half of its south edge onto map 81, then take 81's east exit into Mithril Town (map 90). The goblins hog the Mithril Mine and take every weapon and piece of armor to feed Goblem, so the Mithril Mart and Gladd's Armory have nothing to sell.
2. MainThe mayor's house is in the north-west part of town. The mayor is sobbing: Bopplin stole his Mithril Ring. Offer to help and he dares you to get it back, promising to pay you whatever you want if you can. → checklist
3. MainGuards at the edge of town won't let anyone pass without the mayor's permission. Once the mayor has given you the job, they apologise and let you through.
4. SideTalk to the young man who brags that everyone in town is rich. He hands you some pocket money ('Here, have this.'): 10 G. → checklist
5. TipUseful hints from the townsfolk: Bopplin and his partner Bubblin are tough and have a Solid; the Poison Mud Apple is a trap for catching goblins; a Fern Seed is said to be in Border Fort, which has door traps and needs a Lantern; the Desert of Ruins needs Sand Shoes.
6. SideIf Katze left your party at the Magic School, she's trading in this town. A merchant grumbles about a sharp unknown woman doing business here, and you catch her trying to sell glasses for 500 G. ★Emerald Power★ spots that restore HP are elsewhere: on the Gigamazon River (map 38), the Friedel field (3D), in Etania (88) and in Whale's Valley (C4).
7. MainLeave town toward the Goblin Kingdom. Field maps AA and A9 lie north of the town map 92, and the door on map A9 leads into the Goblin Kingdom (see the maps).
8. MainThe goblins inside jeer at you. The mine is theirs, Bopplin is nowhere to be found, and they hope Goblem eats you. One dares you to fight Goblem at the Goblem Shrine.
9. WarningGoblem is said to eat weapons and armor, and the goblins want yours too ('All food for Goblem!'). Check your gear before the shrine. Tempering and repair are back in town only after the goblins are dealt with.
10. MainThe Goblem Shrine is sealed at first ('It's sealed!'). Talk to the goblin on map D6 who dares you to take on Goblem: after that the shrine opens. Beat Goblem; afterwards you get Goblem's Eye (item text: 'Ugh… so gross…') and end up on map 6E. A goblin mourns that Goblem 'was everybody's pet'. → checklist
11. MainThe Lava Cave door is on map 6B (the Goblin Kingdom entrance; marked on the map): 'Goblem's Eye needed!'. Equip Goblem's Eye (X > Status > pick a character > the Item slot (4th)) and examine the door; the Eye is used up and the way opens. → checklist
12. TipThe Fire Glove ('Not hot, not hot… you're fine!') does not protect you from lava. Equipped on your leader, it lets you pick up and throw the flames in the Friedel strongholds (Episode 6). Mithril Mart won't sell one until the goblins are beaten, but the Anything Shop, Miyan's Item Shop, the Dwarf Item Shop and the Rain General Store do (2000 G).
13. SideThe Lucky Goblin hides in the Lava Cave (map 6F, marked on the map), but only if you made him appear in Episode 1 (the spot on map 06 before Rina's warning) and haven't warped to Episodes 2-7 or 10-12 since. Talk to him and he gives you the Hidden Item. Equip it: as long as Adeu or Sarutobi wears it, he takes no damage on foot from enemies, lava floors or poison, and status effects don't stick. It does nothing in Ryu battles. → checklist
14. MainBopplin taunts you: 'Can you catch me? Here, knighty! Follow the claps…'. That's the start of the Solid battle: his Solid keeps vanishing during the fight, so follow his claps to find it (we couldn't check the sound).
15. MainCorner Bopplin and demand the mayor's ring back. He refuses and calls in his partner, Bubblin. Beat the pair and their Solid. A goblin warned you it 'ain't no ordinary Solid'. → checklist
16. MainWith the Mithril Ring ('Ring of the mithril-rich mayor.') you're sent back out to the field (map A9), and Adeu reckons the goblins will quit their pranks now. The goblins surrender and promise to stay away from town. → checklist
17. MainTake the ring back to the mayor, with the Mithril Ring equipped (X > Status > Item slot). He can hardly believe it, and Adeu makes him keep his promise: you get 10000 G. → checklist
18. TipThe town's shops reopen once the goblins calm down: Mithril Mart and Master Smith Gladd's Armory (repairs armor, 100 G). Hotel Metal Wave is the inn. Even Friedel Town notices the goblins have gone quiet. → checklist
19. SideGladd's Armory: when the party leader reaches level 51, repair the Suit Armor here instead of anywhere else and it becomes the Sordin Shield (DP 62, the best armor in the game); Sarutobi's Chainmail Shirt becomes the Sordin Gauntlet (DP 60). Any other armorer turns them into Mithril Armor / Mithril Mail Shirt instead, and that step can't be repeated. → checklist
20. WarningPoison Mud Apple: when Izumi is in your party, a Poison Mud Apple can hit Adeu on the Friedel field (block 13 maps 82 and A9, also 3C). A Fern Herb won't cure it. You need a Fern Seed, which Mithril Town says is in Border Fort. → checklist
21. MainChamber's Fort is north of the Friedel field (map 82 to map 64). A Mithril Town grandma warns you won't come out alive. It's where Hellreet, the Fiend of Flame who killed Gratches's brother Chamber, has come back.
22. TipOrb puzzle: three sockets read 'The orb is missing!'. Elsewhere you take out a Green, a Red and a Yellow Orb ('Removed it.'), then set each one in its socket with that Orb equipped ('Set it in place.'). Removing an orb can make water pour out and spring a trap that drops you on map F2. Right after the trap you find the Snow Shoes. The Jump Mats here (maps E2, E5, E6) only launch you while someone has the Spring equipped ('A spring is needed!'): 5000 G at several item shops, but not at Mithril Mart. → checklist
23. SideThe fort's chests hold 20000 G in all, plus a Powan Herb. The biggest are 5000 G on map E7 and 4000 G each on maps E4 and E6 (see the maps).
24. TipHellreet and Gratches's rescue belong to Episode 11: in Rain Town, Yagumo tells Gratches to find three orbs and undo this fort's trap, and the fight and rescue play out here.

📍 Friedel · V-Jan Village

Galden, the Black Knight who nearly killed Sarutobi, is back, and Idoro serves him. Past Idoro's Curse, in the Friedel strongholds, Idoro admits he ran the Mage Hunt for Lord Galden and sets the undead Skull Whale on you; later you return here to save Paffy and face Galden himself. Somewhere in the Friedel desert, a hidden door leads to V-Jan Village.

You need: The Fire Orb (Ep. 5), equipped, to open the gate; Izumi and Sarutobi (joins in Rain Town, Ep. 11) in the party. The second visit needs Paffy's abduction (Ep. 10).

Walkthrough

1. MainPick Episode 6 on the world map to land on the Friedel field (map 79). On foot, the field continues east from map 3D (Ep. 5) through map 78.
2. MainBring Sarutobi. He joins at Lazania's house in Rain Town, after Gesshin finds him badly wounded near Friedel Castle by Galden, the Black Knight, back from the dead (see Episode 11). He wants Galden for himself.
3. MainGetting in: equip the Fire Orb (X > Status > pick a character > the Item slot (4th)) and walk north through the gate on map 77 of the Friedel field; it leads into the strongholds at map 74. Without it the gate is 'shut tight'. Inside, a seal at map D9 reads 'Idoro's Curse: A spell has been cast!' until Sarutobi has joined you in Rain Town (Ep. 11); it shows again after Galden is beaten. → checklist
4. SideLoot the strongholds around D9: map E0 holds 9000 G, 5000 G, 1000 G and a Tomioka Seed, map 74 holds 10000 G and 7500 G, and map DA, through D9's east exit, holds 2500 G more.
5. MainIdoro confronts you, with Izumi and Sarutobi at your side. He admits he controlled the Three Phantom Knights and Madora for Lord Galden, gathering the mages' magic until he could get the Spirit Stone. Now he has 'a splendid way' to get it, so he sets the Skull Whale on you. → checklist
6. MainBeat the Skull Whale. Idoro calls it an undead soldier you can 'fight all you like', and he means it: step back onto the stronghold gate (map D9) and it attacks again, for training, until Paffy is rescued. → checklist
7. MainLeave by the bottom of map 74. It drops you back onto the Friedel field (map 77, then 79), and the same gate takes you in again while the Fire Orb is equipped.
8. MainReport to Principal Yudis at the Magic School. 'What, Idoro!?' He says they must rely on 'that stone's power' and sends you to consult the King of Pafuricia. At Pafuricia Castle (Ep. 10), though, the King is too worried about the missing Paffy to listen.
9. SideA dwarf whispered that Friedel's desert hides the entrance to a mysterious village. From map 79 go east to 7C. Two cacti block the only path south: equip the Cactus Glove (Dwarf Kingdom, Ep. 4) on your party leader and press A to pick them up and toss them. Then go down to map EC: a door there leads into V-Jan Village (map EB, then the village maps 97–9A). → checklist
10. TipV-Jan Village is packed with named fans: talking cats and dogs, kids who want a Ryu, would-be shopkeepers. No shop or inn script loads here, so none of them actually sell anything. Some of them address Paffy, so they have more to say once she travels with you.
11. SideFind Ken Fukaki, the 'Sonic Game Designer', in house F9 (marked on the map). He offers you Powan Herb, Soesoe Herb or Tomioka Seed, then backs out: it'd 'wreck the game balance'. Ask for all three, then keep talking to him. Sooner or later he caves ('Take this, and give me a break!') and gives you an Ashiria Shield, or an Ashiria Gauntlet if you already own the shield. One piece only. → checklist
12. TipThe Cactus Glove is required here: the cacti on map 7C block the only way to V-Jan Village. The Fire Glove works the same way in the strongholds: with it equipped on your leader you can pick up and throw the flames on maps 74 and F0.
13. TipMap 7C also has the door to Rafflesil Cave (Ep. 7). The 'shut tight' door on these maps is the gate on map 77: the Fire Orb opens it.
14. MainSecond visit: after Idoro's trap takes Paffy from Pafuricia Castle (Ep. 10), Maria, Paffy's mother, tells you Idoro is in Friedel Castle. Go back in with Izumi and Sarutobi. → checklist
15. MainPaffy refuses to hand Idoro the Spirit Stone, but Galden holds her hostage and demands it. Paffy seems to be under a spell. Idoro realizes the stone was in her rod all along, and Galden takes it. → checklist
16. MainChallenge Galden. Sarutobi wants him for himself, but he gives way, looks after Paffy and tells you 'you'd better not lose!' Beat Galden one-on-one. → checklist
17. MainIdoro calls on the Skull Whale again, but Izumi stands in his way, and Idoro flees, swearing revenge. Paffy is safe: take her home to Pafuricia Castle.
18. MainReport to Principal Yudis. With Idoro still at large, he expects you'll have to fight again at the Grand Tournament and points you toward Whale's Valley. → checklist
19. TipIf Katze joined you at North Hill (only possible once Paffy and Izumi travel with you), she says goodbye at the Magic School here and goes off to trade in Mithril Town (Ep. 9).

📍 Border Fort · Kingdom of Pafuricia · Pafuricia Town · Pafuricia Castle

Pafuricia is a green forest kingdom reached through Border Fort. You arrive to find the castle in an uproar: Princess Paffy has been missing for days. Once she is home, Idoro strikes the castle and carries her off, and Queen Maria finally reveals the secret of the Spirit Stone set in Paffy's rod.

You need: The Lantern for Border Fort (Dos in Westguns sells it for 1000 G). The later scenes here need Paffy found in Rafflesil (Ep. 7) and, for the ending of this episode, her rescue at Friedel Castle (Ep. 6).

Walkthrough

1. TipBorder Fort stands between the Kingdom of Pafuricia field and the fort's inner halls. Mithril Town folk warn you about its door traps and tell you to bring a Lantern ('A handy tool for dark places'). Equip it: in the Item slot of Adeu or Sarutobi it lights the fort's dark halls. The maps in this guide show them lit. → checklist
2. MainGetting in: the fort's only entrance is its front yard (map AF), reached from the Kingdom of Pafuricia field (map 8E). From the west part of 8E (coming from 89), step on the hop tile by the fence (cell 6,21) to jump over it, then leave 8E by its north edge. Either gate of AF leads into the fort (map 50).
3. TipBring the Spring and equip it (X > Status > Item slot): Jump Mats just inside the fort's gates (map 50; more on 51 and 76) are the only way on, and they launch you over the walls only while someone has the Spring equipped. Without it you're stuck in the small yard behind the gates. Some spots in the fort are too cramped for Zephyr.
4. SideThe Fern Seed, the only cure for Poison Mud Apple poisoning, is in a hidden chest on map 76. Examine the lever in the alcove of the upper-right room (L1 on the map) and chest D appears in the upper-left room. → checklist
5. SideBorder Fort is a money run: 12000 GG in chest C on map 76, 4500, 3000 and 2000 GG on map 51, plus 2500 GG and a Soesoe Herb on map 3E. The biggest prize is hidden: examine the lever in the lower hall just below chest C (L2 on map 76) and chest E, with 99990 GG, appears in the upper-left room. → checklist
6. MainFrom the fort grounds (8E) head west into the Kingdom of Pafuricia (89, chest A: 4000 GG), then south and east through 8A, 8B and 8C to Pafuricia Town. Choosing the Kingdom of Pafuricia on the world map drops you on 8A.
7. MainGuards block the road to the castle: there's been trouble and nobody gets through. Talk to the mayor in town. He recognizes you as Adeu and tells you to hurry to the castle; after that the guard lets you pass. → checklist
8. TipPafuricia Town's one shop is Dradd's Weapon Shop (map B8). Save your sword's last upgrade for him: at level 51 he tempers the Great Sword into the Holy Tempest (any other smith makes it a Mithril Sword, and that step can't be repeated), and Sarutobi's Mithril Shuriken into the Ninto Blade. → checklist
9. MainGo north through the castle grounds (B0) into Pafuricia Castle. Steward Mayer tells you Paffy hasn't been seen for several days, the King blames Mayer, and Maria wonders where she could have gone. Adeu agrees to split up and search. → checklist
10. TipIf you've already met Idoro at Friedel Castle (Ep. 6), you can try to warn the King and Mayer about him and the Spirit Stone, but neither can think of anything except the missing princess.
11. MainAsk the mayor again: someone who looked like Lady Paffy was seen with some beast-like folk. That points you to the beasts' town past Rafflesil Cave (Ep. 7).
12. MainWith Paffy back home, King and Maria welcome her, and Adeu asks to use the castle's Warp Gate to Whale's Valley. The King agrees, as long as you don't whine. The guard by that door turns everyone away without the King's permission. → checklist
13. MainTell Mayer and the royal couple about Idoro and the Spirit Stone. The King hesitates, Paffy wants to act, and Maria decides to wait for Idoro's next move rather than play into his hands.
14. MainIdoro makes his move on the Kingdom of Pafuricia field (map 8A): Mayer panics, Maria rallies the guards, and in the confusion it turns out to be a trap. Paffy is carried off before Adeu's eyes and leaves the party. → checklist
15. MainBack in the great hall, Maria tells you everything: Paffy's rod holds the Spirit Stone, which unlocks the true power of the Ryu, machines the Lemuriad civilization built to fight the Evil Dragon Clan of Chaostia. Adeu, Sarutobi and Izumi swear to save her. → checklist
16. MainMaria tells you Idoro is in Friedel Castle; Mayer and the King beg you to hurry before Idoro gets the Spirit Stone. The rescue itself is in Ep. 6.
17. MainBring Paffy home. Mayer is relieved, and the King asks you to keep protecting her; Paffy promises not to go off alone again. You can now take the Warp Gate in the great hall to Whale's Valley (Ep. 12). → checklist
18. SideTreasure outside the fort: 3500 GG in the castle (map AC, chest A), and 2500 GG plus a Sour Fruit on map 8A.
19. TipCastle guards drop hints for later: entrants for the Grand Tournament are flocking to Flying Whale Castle, which is in Whale's Valley, and you can reach Whale's Valley from this castle.

📍 Rafflesil Cave · Ice Town

Princess Paffy has been missing from Pafuricia Castle for days, and rumor says she was seen with beast-like folk. Cross Rafflesil Cave to Ice Town, a snowbound town of beasts who are afraid of humans. Win them over with a Banana to get their Aqualung, find Paffy, and take her home, where the King grants you the Warp Gate.

You need: A Banana from map 35 (it appears only after the Fire Orb, Chamber's Fort's water trap and the Mithril Ring), equipped when you give it.

Walkthrough

1. TipBefore you go: Paffy has been missing from Pafuricia Castle for days, and Pafuricia Town's mayor heard someone like her was seen with beast-like folk. In Friedel Town a boy swears there's a 'town of monkeys', and an old woman saw monkey-like beasts playing with an Aqualung.
2. TipBring the Banana from the river on map 35 (it appears there after the Fire Orb, Chamber's Fort's water trap and the Mithril Ring; see Ep. 4). A dwarf even tells you that beasties love Bananas. It's what wins you the Aqualung here. → checklist
3. MainPick Rafflesil Cave on the world map. You land inside the cave on map 9D. You can also walk in from the Friedel field, using the cave door on map 7C (it leads to map 9C).
4. MainWork your way through the cave to Ice Town: 9D, 9E, 9F, A0, then A1. The door on A1 opens onto Ice Town (map 7E). There are no chests in the cave.
5. MainIce Town belongs to the beasts ('Here our town. Humans not wanted.'). Most of them are scared of you and ask if you've come to take their friends away. Talk to everyone anyway. One admits they have an Aqualung, but says they hate humans.
6. MainFind the starving beast who says it will do anything you say if you give it something to eat. With the Banana equipped (X > Status > Item slot), Adeu offers it and asks for an Aqualung. The beast promises to talk its friends into handing one over. → checklist
7. MainTalk to the beasts again. Word has spread that you gave their friend a Banana, and they give you the Aqualung (item text: 'Amazing! You won't drown!'). You'll need it for Purple Town at the bottom of the lake (Episode 8). Equip it before you dive (X > Status > pick a character > the Item slot (4th)). → checklist
8. MainFind Paffy in Ice Town. She got hurt on her training journey, and the beasts nursed her back to health. Adeu tells her everyone at Pafuricia Castle is worried sick, and she agrees to go home with him. Paffy joins you. → checklist
9. SideA beast tries to stop you taking 'that friend': humans take everything. Paffy promises to come back and visit, and the beast asks her to bring a Banana as a present next time.
10. TipOnce you've helped them, the beasts warm up ('Humans… not all bad'). Their inn still won't take a human: 'Hate humans! Won't let you stay!!'
11. TipSnow Shoes ('Walk on ice and snow, no slipping!') come from Chamber's Fort (Episode 9), right after its water trap. Equipped, they stop you sliding on the ice in Ice Town, the last room of Rafflesil Cave and parts of Chamber's Fort. The ice never blocks a path, so they're a comfort, not a must.
12. MainTake Paffy home. The reunion plays when you walk into the throne room of Pafuricia Castle (map AB) with her: the King and Maria are overjoyed, Adeu asks to use the Warp Gate to Whale's Valley, Paffy backs him up, and the King agrees, as long as there's no whining. → checklist
13. TipThat permission matters: without it, the guard at the castle's Warp Gate says 'You need the King's permission.' Whale's Valley comes later (Episode 12).
14. TipKeep Paffy in mind for later. The Elf Village chief only explains his trouble once Paffy, Izumi and Sarutobi are with you, and Katze's second offer to join also comes when Paffy and Izumi are in the party.

📍 Purple Town

Purple Town has sunk to the bottom of the lake, and the Pirani run it now under their boss, Lord Gerogero. Dive in with the Aqualung, don't fall for the Pirani rip-offs, and find Gerogero, an old friend of Adeu's. Nobody gets back to the surface without his say-so.

You need: The Aqualung (from the beasts of Ice Town, Episode 7).

Walkthrough

1. TipRumors first: Purple Town sank to the bottom of the lake, and you'll need an Aqualung to get there. Mithril Town says the same ('That town's under the lake now!'), and a Friedel Town woman has heard of Gerogero ('How disgusting… What on earth is that?').
2. MainGet the Aqualung from the beasts of Ice Town (Episode 7) and equip it (X > Status > pick a character > the Item slot (4th)). Just carrying it does nothing. → checklist
3. MainDive in from the lake on the Friedel field: the dive spots are marked on map 82 (to Purple Town map 5F) and map 3C (to map 5D). With the Aqualung equipped you can also pick Episode 8 on the World Map. While you're down here, every World Map choice brings you back to Purple Town until Gerogero lets you go.
4. TipWithout the Aqualung equipped, Adeu stops at the water's edge: 'Hm? If I jumped down from here… bad news.'
5. MainPurple Town is run by the Pirani. They sneer that you'll never get back up top: nobody returns to the surface without Lord Gerogero's permission.
6. MainA Pirani shows you Lord Gerogero's house, but he's out and nobody knows where. Explore the town (maps 5D, 5E, 5F and the houses 68, 69, 6A) and talk to everyone.
7. TipThere's a way up: the Anemone-kun can take you to the surface, but only if Gerogero allows it. → checklist
8. MainTalk to the three Pirani in house 6A (one tells you about the Anemone-kun), then to the Pirani in house 68: he tells you Lord Gerogero is back home. Go to his house. He turns out to be an old friend of Adeu's. Ask for help getting out. He only says 'Gero, gero!!', and Adeu decides that means yes. → checklist
9. MainWith Gerogero's OK, head for the surface: walk into the Anemone-kun and press A. From map 5D it carries you up to the Friedel field at map 3C, from map 5F to map 82.
10. SideThe Pirani Item Shop sells only one thing: a Mist Tank for 50000 G. The Pirani call it a 'portable Mist Rune'. Equipped, it lets Zephyr slowly recover HP even indoors and in caves (read from the code); it does not let you call Zephyr where a Ryu isn't allowed. The shop won't buy anything from you. → checklist
11. TipThe Pirani say Mist Tanks are pricey and 'you can only get 'em here', but Nyanko's Item Shop in Friedel Town stocks them at the same price. You lose nothing if you skip this one. → checklist
12. WarningDon't bother with the Pirani 'inn'. It charges nothing, but answer Yes and you get 'We just got full up… I'll mess with ya some more!!' and no rest at all. → checklist
13. WarningSkip the Pirani Tavern. 'Everything's 100 G!', and the 100 G really comes off your money, but whatever you order (Beer, Cocktail or Sake) 'got washed away'. After a while they refuse to serve you at all. → checklist
14. TipOne house has alcohol in its water, which explains the drunk Pirani trying to start a fight. Just walk away.
