Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Lufia: The Ruins Of Lore - Strategy Guide (Page 03).

******************************
* 21. Parcelyte and Gruberik *
******************************

Go and talk to the king. Too bad, they sent out all their ships. Maybe if we
can find a civilian ship. How about a pirate ship? Go to Gruberik's harbors and
talk to the pirate. He would let you borrow his ship, but he's out of fuel. A
good place to find some? The Nimona Mines! So let's just go save the prisoners
and get some fuel there.

********************
* 22. Nimona Mines *
********************
Items: Vitamins, Cave Disc, Googles, Dark Fang, Kukuri, 300G, Wooden Mallet,
Headband, Fatal Pick
Suggested Levels: 15

When you enter just head north inside the mine. Go northeast and walk to the
blocked wall. You'll hear noises from the other side. Go back south and the man
will say no one's there. Now try going back there again. He'll get mad after
you. So visit the northwest room and talk to everyone. Now go back outside and
east. The guy who was blocking the pole moved. Whip across, up the ladder,
north, push the right barrel and go in. Get in the wagon, and when you stop go
north, west and south to get a some Vitamins. Go back to where you left the
wagon and in the other one. When you stop, go down the hole and east to get a
Cave Disk. Go back up, in the wagon and north to the next screen. West of this
room are some Googles, get them and proceed east to next room. Here, go south
until you can whip to the east. Do it, then go east, whip south, trigger. Now,
go northeast of the switch (where the track turns) and whip west, whip west
again, go north and west to get a Dark Fang. Go back east and whip north, and
take the wagon going south. Since you pulled the lever, you'll end up somewhere
else. Here, push any of the 4 barrels and pick the pot. Fall in the hole.

Here, follow the path and go up the ladder at the other end. Go north, east,
around the track and west to get a Kukuri. Now go back and into the wagon. Whip
across west, follow the path, up the ladder and north to next room. Here, go
west, push one of the crates, down the first ladder, jump down, go west and
take the 300G. Jump down and go in the hole southwest. The man says he cant get
his explosives because of monsters. Well, monsters don't scare us, so let's get
them. So go south, whip over the track and go south. Push the right or left
crate to get the Explosives.

Go back north, whip across and give the bomb to the man (using the Special
Items menu). He'll leave. Head up the ladder and go southeast to next room.
Talk to the man and he'll blow up the place (actually, Rami will). Continue to
next room. If you haven't realized it, you're back in the first room of the
mine. Go in the northwest room. While you where away, they dug through the
cave-in. So let's continue to next room. Here, follow the rather simple path to
next room, getting a Wooden Mallet on the way. Then continue to next room.
Here, take the southeast exit. Take the elevator down and south to next room.

Here, follow the path to the wagon, but don't use it. Go over it and push the
second crate east. Burn the web, fight the 3 spiders and go in the next room.
Talk to the man to rescue him. Go back, push the crate and go in the wagon. Go
east and south to next room. Here, there is a kind of bridge you can only walk
once on. If you fall, you'll arrive in a room with monsters and a ladder. To
make it, do this: From the first bridge tile, go 1 up, 5 east, 1 up (no need to
pick the pot), 3 west, 2 up, turn using R to face right and pick the pot, turn
using R to face down and drop the pot, 3 up (notice the pole doesn't rises when
you step on the switch), go 1 more up then 1 down, notice the pole rose
(glitch), turn with R to face up and whip north to next room. Here, push the
first barrel left or right and the other up. The man will run off. Go west next
room, then southwest to the other. Get in the wagon, and when you stop go back
in. when you stop you'll be on the other side of the wagon. Go west, push the
crate down and pick the Headband. Go back in the wagon and walk around until
you can use your whip on the switch. This will trigger it. Go back in the
wagon, and in yet again. Continue to next room, then go across the 2 others.

You'll reach a room with a man and 4 barrels. Push the lone barrel south to
destroy the 4 barrels. Pick the pot and fall in the hole. Burn the web north
and enter. Try to turn on the machine, but nothing happens cause there's no
fuel. Go back south and in the water. Make your way to the other side and next
room. Push the northwest crate east, go up and get the Pump Fuel. Go back to
the pump and use the fuel. Now the water's gone. Go in the entrance where the
water was. Go around and get a Fatal Pick. Go back and whip across. Get in the
wagon and go east to next room. Go down the elevator, and in the opening.

Here, follow the path and burn the first web you see. Continue along until you
see some explosives. Go north, east and south, push the crate to the web you
burnt, and push it on the switch. Go back to where the other crate was, and the
pike will be lowered. Push the crate west, and use Torma's whip on the switch.
The barrels near the explosives are now gone. Go pick 'em up. Also, go north
and talk to the man to rescue him.

Now get out of the crystal area. Go back west and up the elevator and west to
next room. Here, jump in the wagon, go north and west, whip across, then go
south to next room. Take the ladder to the east and east to next room. Give the
bomb to the man there. Give him the explosives and go to next room. Go up the
elevator and north to next room. You may use an Escape Ball, Escape or get out
the hard way. If you choose that, backtrack your way through the mines and
outside.

Talk to the miner. If you did talk to the pirate in Gruberik, he will join you.
So now you can go back all the way through the mines (yay...) and get some
coal.

So go back in the mine, and follow these direction (NR: Next Room): north,
west, north, NR, north, west, NR, west, north, east, north, NR, north, east,
NR, southwest, NR, take the elevator down, south, NR, south, west, NR, down the
ladder, north, NR, north, whip, in the cart, NR, down the elevator, up the
ladder west, burn the web and enter. Go down the stairs northeast and go south.
The miner will clear the way, then leave. Go south and follow the path to get
the Ship Fuel from the chest. Now leave the mines and head for Gruberik.

*********************************
* 23. Gruberik yet another time *
*********************************

Here, when you enter the marketplace, you'll see Bau. People are on him because
he's a monster... Of course, you'll come and scare them away. Bau says he only
causes trouble wherever he goes. Torma will say he should fight back, but Rami
thinks he shouldn't. Yet again, they'll get mad at each other. Bau will run
off. Go to the docks and talk to the pirate. When you're about to board, Bau
will come. He'll join the party. The ship will leave. When it ship stops,
you'll be on the lower island of the Triangle Peninsula. Get out of the dock to
get to the forest.

However, since you now have a permanent Bau, you may wanna head to Mt. Ruhie -
west. Go northwest to some poles. Bash them and continue on the lake to find a
Navaroa.

Another place of interest is the Mera Volcano - east. Make your way to the 3rd
screen, north until you see 3 chimneys on the left, go through and break the
crack. Inside you'll get the game's 2nd fighting theme, which is rather nice
(sometimes I think it should have been the main...). Enemies are also rather
though, but you can catch a Blue Core, which may have a cheap 8 HP, but an
amazing 500 DEF. Be careful, cause there's lots of them here. A great place to
level though. So just follow the path and head outside. Cut all grass for a
Flame Fruit and a Fire Armor.

********************
* 24. Jungle Spire *
********************
Items: Insect Egg, 10G x2, Large Egg, Mountain Disc, Wild Berry, Earth Sap,
Insect Cover, Earth Fruit, Francesca, Thornlet, Power Source, Rose Seed, Revive
Suggested Levels: 16

When you enter the place, follow the path until you see a pretty tall tree and
a path split. Continue east, cut the grass and get the Insect Egg. Go back to
the tall tree and this time go west to next screen. Go north, cut the 5 grass
patches to get 10G. Go north and down the first vine you see. Break the cocoon
to get a Large Egg. Go back the entrance, use Bau's hammer on the rocks west,
and continue west to next screen.

Here, go west and climb the 4th vine. Continue west until you reach a part
where there's a pole and a stump. Burn the stump and fall. Break the cocoon to
get a Wild Berry. Jump down, get the Mountain Disc and make your way back to
the stump. This time use Bau's hammer on the pole. Whip north twice and get to
next screen. Here, follow the path until the split, go east and get the Earth
Sap and an Insect Cover from the first 2 cocoons. The other one releases
monsters. Now continue west to next screen.

Here, go south and cut the 5 grass to get a Earth Fruit. Now continue west and
fall in the hole. Hit the left pole with Bau's hammer (the other ones release
monsters) and jump in the hole. Go south and out. Go west, up the vines, up
again, east and get the Francesca from the chest. Now head west to next screen.
Go south, down the vines and continue west to pick the Thornlet. Go back east
and up the vines, and this time go west. You can get 10G from the grass. The
last grass patch to the west also holds a Power Source. Now cut all the grass
to find a hole. Jump in it. Here go west and north all the way. Cut the 5
grasses to get a Rose Seed. Go back south and west to next screen. Kill the
tree, go up, cut the 5 grasses to get a Revive, and continue west, fight
another tree, heal, and go west to fight a boss.

**********************
* Boss: King Creeper *
**********************
HP: 1000
EXP: 7000
GOLD: 2800
SUGGESTED LEVELS: 17

If you chose a 4 fighter party (Rami out), you may need to call Rami in a few
times to heal, because even Eldin and Torma as healer won't be enough if they
only know Heal. When it attacks, it can either attack you normally, or attack
and attempt to confuse you. This is really painful. He can also Heal Plus, but
you should be dealing more than 100 damage per round. Fire seems to work well.

****************************************

After the fight, go south, down the vines, east and south to next screen.
Continue south to reach Narbick.

***************
* 25. Narbick *
***************
Items: 10G x4, Sacred Fruit, Hell Armor for making bed, 100G, Magic Jar,
Strange Blue Potion

From the entrance, go north and cut the 5 grasses to get 10G x2. The house to
the left is where you can get the Brawler job. Close to the inn is a pot. Break
it to get a Sacred Fruit. On the second floor of the inn is an Alchemist (in
the right bed). In the house just right of the church, there's another bed for
you to make. But this time your reward is an Hell Armor (it says Bark Tapa, but
its really an Hell Armor, and it's cursed). Examining the bookcase here leads
to a fight... The shop sells Zircon stuff, which is extremely powerful, but
expensive. In the northwest part of town (where the graves are), cut the 3
grasses to get 2x10G and 100G. By the way, those 3 graves are those of the 3
girls which helped at the end of Lufia II. In the northeast part of town is a
house with a pot next to it. Inside the pot is a Magic Jar. Now go in the
Elder's house. Inside the closet here is some Pure Water. Now go down the
stairs.

Maybe you heard it around town, but Rand, your father, is here! He'll explain
about Ragule giving him the Royal Ring, which leads to an island that sank in
the ocean long ago. However, Ragule took back the ring. You'll also learn about
the fate of Eristol. He'll also mention 2 stones: one in the forest by here,
and the other in Eristol. However, to get to Eristol we'll need the ring. Rand
will also give you the Cloud Stone. When you think the conversation is over,
Rubius will bring back Eldin's curse (I'm sure you all forgot about it...) Rand
will seem to hide something about being an Ancient's descendant.

So now head back to the forest, using the west entrance.

**************************
* 26. Jungle Spire Again *
**************************
Items: Large Egg x2, Cotehardie, Bark Helm, Bark Tapa, Escape Ball, Bark
Shield, Rose Seed, Heavy Tunic, Flame Fruit x2, Revive, Hi-Potion, Antennae,
Mysterious Crest, Dark Fruit
Suggested Levels: 17

Here, go north to next screen, north, up the vines (this is where you fought
the boss) and west to next screen. Go north, break the cocoons and get the
Large Egg, head back and west, up the stairs, go through the building until you
get out, north and examine the big face. (on the way is a dog, it's an
alchemist) So now you must wait until night. The mouth will open, and you'll go
in.

Go north and fall down (and it's a HELL long way back up). Go south to get
outside. Follow the path until you can go north and get a Cotehardie. Continue
west, bash the pole, whip across and go north to next screen. Go north, then
east and cut the 3 grasses to get a Bark Helm. Now, go back west, bash the
pole, whip across, continue until you reach 3 grasses, get the Bark Tapa, then
continue north to next screen. Head north all the way and light the 1st torch
(heal before the forced back attack, it can be tough). Now go back south and
east across the river, then continue east to next screen.

Here, follow the path until you come to 4 grass patches. Cut them to get an
Escape Ball. Continue along the path and up the vines to next screen. Light the
2nd torch, and climb the vines west until you make it to next screen. Go down,
whip east, either jump down or climb the vines down, cut the 4 grasses to get a
Shield, go down the vines east (cutting the grasses south makes a monster
appear), and make it to next screen.

Go west, over the hole are 5 grasses, cut them to get a Rose Seed. Fall in the
hole. Open the chest to get a Heavy Tunic. Go back out. Go west, and do not
walk in the mud, as you may fall down to the cave you just went. Instead, use
your whip to the westmost pole, and cut all cocoons north to get a Flame Fruit.
Whip east, then north on to where you were before, east again, then walk east
on the last non-mud tile, go north and cut the grass for a Revive. Whip south,
go south, cut the grass and get the Hi-Potion. Go east to next screen.

Here, head north all the way and cut the cocoon the get a Large Egg. Go back
south, ignore the hole as there's nothing of interest in, and go east. If you
follow the cliffside, you shouldn't fall down. Go north, cut the grass and get
a Flame Fruit, then continue north and fall in the hole. Open the chest
southeast to get an Antennae. Now get out of the cave and go east, following
the cliffside. You'll get to a dead end. From the middle wall leaves, go 3
south and 2 east. You'll fall down. Go talk to the monster to fight it.

***************
* Boss: Demon *

HP: 900
EXP: 9000
GOLD: 3200
SUGGESTED LEVELS: 17

He drains HP as his main attack (about 40), and uses Dark Breath, which may
confuse, stun and poison everyone. He may also Destroy you, which is a One-Hit
KO. The goal here is to finish him quick. He dies pretty fast, but is dangerous
if you stick with him too long.

****************************************

Now that you killed this guy, go up the western vines and light the 3rd torch.
Go back northwest and jump down. Go all the way back to previous screen. Go
west, north, whip north, go west, whip west, whip west again, go south, whip
east, go south, fall in the hole. Go west and south, and get the Mysterious
Crest from the chest. Head back out.

Go north a little, whip west, whip west again, whip north and go north to next
screen. Here, light the final torch and fall down. Go west to next screen. Go
west, bash the pole, whip across, and to next screen. Go north, east across the
river, north, climb the vines, go west, cut the grass to get a Dark Fruit. Jump
down and go west under the waterfall. Go inside. Go north, push the block any
side and enter. If you did light all 4 torches, there'll be a chest. Open it to
get the Wind Stone.

Your job here is done, so get out the way you entered, or just cast exit,
though you'll have to walk the forest part again.

Now, let's finally head for Gratze and search for the Royal Ring.

*********************
* 27. Border Forest *
*********************
Items: Dark Fruit, Forest Disc, Dark Tattoo, Zombie Killer, Sleep Rod, Life
Source, Wild Berry, Earth Sap, Hell Scythe
Suggested Levels: 18

Now there should be a new area available on the world map. It's on the east
continent. Go there, and select the only place available. You'll be at a dock.
Go west to next screen, and enter the building. Look at how the cleric is
blocking the way to the closet. Now go out and west to enter the forest.

Just follow the path to next screen. You'll see a ghost, follow him south to
next screen. Here, you'll see him again. Cut the 4 grasses south to get a Dark
Fruit, and continue south to next screen. Here, you realize it's always the
same screen again and again, so instead go north to previous screen. This time
there are monsters. Go east to next screen. Here, you'll meet the priest from
the dock's building. If he's here, he can't block the way, no? Go back to the
docks and inside the building. Open the closet to get some Holy Water.

Now make your way back to the priest and talk to him. He says to go to the
graves and banish the spirit. So whip across, follow the path, open the chest
to get a Forest Disc. Now go south all the way to reach a chest with a Dark
Tattoo. Go back north a bit, and go east, up the cliff, north across the acid
pond (walk in the grass so you wont take any damage), and continue to next
screen. Here, walk all the way on the rock path, whip south, whip south again,
whip east, fall down, go east, north, east, south, up and get the Zombie Killer
from the chest. Now go back to the rock path, whip your way to where you fell
down, and instead of falling whip east. Whip north and continue to next screen.

Now, after this acid bath, it would not be a bad idea to heal. Go east and
watch the scene of the ghost vanishing in front of the tomb. Walk to the tomb
and use the Holy Water. This will make the spirit appear.

HP: 1050
EXP: 9800
GOLD: 3800
SUGGESTED LEVELS: 19

I strongly advise using Rami for this fight, so toss anyone else. Usually a
monster or Torma. First, know he takes little to no damage from ice, but water
seems to hit him pretty bad. If you want, go for Level2 spells, they hit more
but cost a lot more. Now for your 3 other guys, have them attack. Draining his
DEF with Rami could not be bad. Beware of his Cinder Slash, it can hurt bad.
Try to always keep you HP high

****************************************

Now that he is dead, the curse on this forest is gone. Go back to where it kept
looping. There, go south and you'll reach the place where you looped. Follow
the path south and FINALLY you'll reach a new area.

Here, take the left path, and burn the stump you will see to the left. Go up
the vines west, go west and burn the other stump. This will make 3 monsters
appear. Kill them, and continue west to get a Sleep Rod. Now head back east to
where you burnt the first stump, and continue south. You'll see a pole and a
log blocking the way, so continue southeast. Follow the path until you come to
2 stumps. Burn them to get a Life Source. Continue west a little, and when you
have the choice of going west or north, go west and follow the path to get a
Wild Berry. Go back to the junction, and go north, then east. Whip south over
the log and get an Earth Sap. Bash the pole you just whipped on, and whip back
north. This time go northwest until you reach next screen.

Here, you'll notice the music is different. It's that gratzean militaristic
theme. Go west, burn the 4 stumps to find an Hell Scythe. Go north and the
guards will shoot at you, refusing to let you pass. Dekar wants to bash in, but
Rami decides to sneak instead. Now go north (heh, I thought they would
shoot...) and west near the castle's wall. The screen will fade, and you will
see through some trees. Follow the path through and, when you come out, go west
to reach Gondarle.

****************
* 28. Gondarle *
****************
Items: Dried Meat, Moldy Bread x3

Everyone here are ghosts, restless because of Gratze's actions. The inside of
building is rather strange too. It's as if Gratze took the time to kill every
single table and bed and make it a ghost. Anyway, enter the first house you
see, and go to the right of the bed. Break the jar to get some Dried Meat. Now
continue going left and enter the next house. Open the closet to get a Moldy
Bread. The guy here sells weapons/armors. Make sure you buy the Restrain Chain
for Torma since he doesn't have any Zircon stuff. You may also want to get the
Silk Toga and Holy CAP for Rami and Gold Bracelets for everyone, but don't buy
anything else, there's better stuff in Narvick.

West of this house is the inn, go inside and open the closet for another Moldy
Bread. North of the inn is the items shop, enter it from the left and open the
closet to get yet another Moldy Bread. East of the items shop is the church.
Now go north between the items shop and the church to reach the graveyard. Fall
in the hole to reach the Land of the Dead.

************************
* 29. Land of the Dead *
************************
Items: Killer Armor, Charred Newt x2, Revive, Life Source, Antidote, Dark
Chains, Dark Armor x2, Magic Jar, Clothes, Moldy Bread x2, Magical Bikini,
Rotten Meat x2, Dark Crystal, Mind Sources x2, Demon Helm, Tail Ring
Suggested Levels: 19



Go west and through the door. Go north and light the 2 candlesticks. Proceed
north to next room. Follow the path (don't go in the acid) and head north to
next room. Fall down anywhere and get the Killer Armor near the coffin. The
armor is cursed, so don't equip it, even if the DFP is good. The curse is
pretty bad, you take 100 damage when its your turn, no matter what you do.
Beware, as walking on some places may release skeletons. Go south and up the
ladder. Break the 3 jars to get 2x Charred Newt and a Revive. Go north to get
back to the room you fell. Back here, light all 5 candlesticks and proceed
through the opening north. Head north and break the jars in the northeast
corner to get a Life Source. Proceed west through the wall to next room.

Go west and break the 3 jars to get an Antidote and Dark Chains. Head north and
break the cracked wall with Bau's hammer. Head through to next room. Here, walk
to the door. It's the Storage Room. Break the jars to get a Dark Armor. Head
back west, push the left crate up twice, bash the barrel, push the crate over
it up twice, bash the barrel and go upstairs.

Here, there's a lot of doors, but most are locked. Go north and up the stairs,
west, and enter the westmost door. Break the lone jar to the left to get some
Clothes. Head back out and this time go east and south to enter the southeast
door. Break the jars to get a Magic Jar. Head back and enter the eastmost door.
Open the closet to get a Room Key. This key opens the second level's center
door (just west of where you are). Go in front of the door and use the key. The
door will unlock. Proceed through.

Here you'll see a ghost searching for her pendant. Read the diary on the table
and leave. Head down the stairs and the door will mysteriously open. Don't
complain and go in. Head through the first door north. Break the 5 jars to the
left to get a Moldy Bread and a Magical Bikini. Read the diary on the table.
Head out, go west and north to next room. Follow the path to get outside.
Follow the one-way path until you can get in. Break every jars and one of them
will hold the Mirror Key.

Go back to the previous building and back to previous room. Go south and west
and enter the door. Break the 3 jars north to get a Rotten Meat. Break the
other one to the right to get a Moldy Bread. Head north through the door.
You'll be locked inside. Go north and break the 8 jars to get a Rotten Meat.
Now, to continue, you need to kill all enemies in this room. This may take some
time. When they're all dead, proceed north to next room. Go north and up the
stairs. Read the diary. Head to the southwest corner of the room, break the jar
and get the Dark Crystal. Head back down the stairs, south to next room, south
again, and yet another time south.

Now head east and enter the eastmost door. Go east, south, west until you reach
4 jars, break them to get 2 Mind Sources. Now get out of this room from where
you entered, go west and south to get back to the main hallway. Go up the
stairs, west and south and unlock the southwest door. As it said, it's the
Mirror Room. Watch the scene, fight, head west and read the diary on the table,
south and break the jars to get a Dark Armor, and continue through the broken
mirror. Go west (watch out, you can fall down) and you'll reach a pillar. Whip
the other side and break the pots to get a Demon Helm (cursed). Fall down the
rightmost hole to get to a room filled with jars. Break them all to get a
Soldier Shield, which is actually a Special Item. Push the crate south and get
out of this room. Go north, down the stairs and west to find a statue without
any shield. Go in front of it, use the shield in proceed in.

Go west, break the jar and get the Storage Key. Explore the room and read the
diary on the dining table. Southeast is a Tail Ring in a jar. Now exit the
room. Go east and go down the stairs from where you first entered this place.
Bash the barrel, push the crate south, go east and unlock the door. Here,
navigate through until you reach the closet protected by 2 barrels, break them
and open the closet to get the Memorial Pendant. Exit this room and go back to
the main hallway. Go up the stairs and into the central door. Heal, and use the
pendant on the bed to fight...

SUGGESTED LEVELS: 19

Have Rami take anyone's place and drain her DFP 2-3 times, then switch her for
a 4th fighter, as her magic is less powerful than the fighters attacks. Her
Black Storm spell hits everyone and causes 30-40 damage, so be prepared. So
does her Haunting spell. If you followed my advice and got Eldin and Torma the
Heal spell, use it to heal, or else you'll need to get Rami to heal. She can
also attempt to poison everyone, which can be pretty dangerous, as you'll loose
around 10HP per round. Having someone who knows Heal Plus is almost critical
for this fight. I had a pretty hard time killing her at lvl19 but it is
possible.

****************************************

After the fight, you will see "her love" coming back to her. She'll hand a
shard, though Eldin doesn't seems too happy to "Acquire the White Shard".

You'll end up outside, the mansion gone...

Now go south to get back to the city. There's nothing left here, except dogs.
However, by cutting all the grass around, you can find 9x 10G. Also, there's a
rat by a tombstone which is an Alchemist. Saving at the church would not be a
bad idea either. Now go in any other town and rest at an inn.

***************************
* 30. Border Forest Again *
***************************
Items: 10G x9, Pure Water, Speed Source, Magic Source, Sacred Fruit, Escape
Ball, Blood Chain, Rotten Meat, Dark Fruit
Suggested Levels: 20

When you're ready, head back to the mansion and go north. You'll reach the
forest. Go north, cut the grass to get some Pure Water. Continue east to next
screen. Go south and cut the grass to get a Speed Source. Go north and when the
path splits, go west, heal and follow the path until you reach the border.
There, you'll need to fight 2 guards.

**********************

GOLD: 3800 each
SUGGESTED LEVELS: 20

Do not underestimate these. They can hit for 40-50 or hit the hole party for
around 25. Don't start with Rami in your party, but you may need to call her to
heal the party. In the beginning of the fight, using attacks that hit everyone,
such as Slash All or RapidFire, can be useful.

****************************************

After the fight, you're free to travel back and forth through the border. No go
back north and west and continue until you reach next screen.

Head north until you reach 3 stumps, burn them to get a Magic Source. Go north
and follow the path west. You'll reach a riverside. Continue north to next
screen. Here, you should hear the sound of a waterfall. Follow the path until
you reach a river with a pole. Whip over the river and follow the path to get a
Sacred Fruit from the chest. Head back across the river, go north and whip
across again. Go west to next screen.

Here, follow the path. You'll see an opening in the trees, ignore it for now
and continue east. Go up the cliff, north and you'll see another path going in
the trees, use it and you'll see through the trees. Go north and cut the grass
to get an Escape Ball. Continue east through the trees, and you'll see a grass
patch surrounded by some rocks. Use Bau's hammer to break the rocks and cut the
grass to reveal a hole. Fall down.

Pick the Blood Chain in the upper left corner. The enemies here, Green Core,
have a high DFP but very low HP. They also give lots of EXP (2525 each). They
can easily be killed by Rami using Frost. When you're ready, bash the skeleton
with Bau's hammer to reveal an exit. In the next room fall down the hole. When
you land, you'll hear the sound of a gate. Bash the 5 skeleton heads to reveal
a Rotten Meat. Go west, south, cut the 5 grass to get a Dark Fruit. Now head
west and kill every enemies. You'll hear the same gate sound. Go back to where
you fell, pick the pot and drop it on the switch west (under a grass). Go up
the vines twice and get out of the cave. Go west to next screen. Go north,
heal, talk to the guards to fight them. *Note: Before fighting the guards, you
can leave this place to come to the world map and go sleep at an inn then come
back*

Do not underestimate these. They can hit for 40-50 or hit the hole party for
around 25. Don't start with Rami in your party, but you may need to call her to
heal the party. In the beginning of the fight, using attacks that hit everyone,
such as Slash All or RapidFire, can be useful.

After the fight, go north to Gratze

Items: Dark Fruit, Life Source, Mind Source, Estoc, Bronze Armor

This place is actually a town, but a rather mazy one, so I'll guide you
through. When you enter, you'll see 2 soldiers. The paths east and west are
dead ends, so continue north. When you can go west, do it, then go north
(continuing west is a dead end) and into the building you see. This is the
prison. Now go back to the main way, north a bit and go east. When you reach
the crossing, go south and enter the building. There are 3 chests, 2 empty and
the other one has a Dark Fruit. Go out, and return to the main way. Go north
and inside the building, north all the way and out.

Go north past the flags and go east all the way to the building. This is the
Inn. The chest contains a Life Source. Now go out and west to the main way.
This time go west and down the ladder. This is a Disc and Item shop. Talk to
the old woman and tell her she needs a Wake-Up Call and you'll get a free Mind
Source. Now go back and north. The building there is a Weapon/Armor shop. The
Metal Mail and the Spiked Helm for Bau and the Erinite Helm for Torma are worth
getting. Now go east and down the stairs then north. Follow the path and enter
the building. Inside is a chest containing an Estoc. Exit the building and
continue west. Enter the first door you see. Go to the right and open the
closet to get a Bronze Armor. Now, continue west down the stairs, go south a
bit and down the stairs east, and enter the building north.

****************************************

After the fight, go north and travel through several screens (there's only 1
way to go) until you reach some guards. You'll notice a different battle theme.
Cool, isn't it? Better than the real... From the guards, east is a pure dead
end, so fight them (yup, twice) and go north to next screen. Here, go north and
fight some higher-graded guards then climb the ladder. Follow the path through
some screens and when you get the choice of continuing south or going east,
continue south until you can climb down, do so, then go east and north. At the
junction, go west to get an Iron Box and east to get an Escape Ball. Go back
south and west and on the pipe. Return to the junction and this time go east.
Follow the path across a few screens and when you get a north/south choice, go
north until you can climb down and get the Long Sword. Go back to the crossing
and go south. Follow the pipe until you can climb down, walk a bit around and
get on another pipe, follow it until you can climb down, fight the guards and
go in. Use the right elevator (the left one goes nowhere). Go east and get out.

Here, if you go south, you'll see an electric barrier. Go east and hit the
brown wire (2nd one) thrice with your sword and the barrier will disappear. Go
south to next room. Go south, east, open the chest to get a Tower Disc. You'll
have the choice of continuing north or going on the pipe. Go north to next
screen. Go north and get the Main Gauche and the Lantern Shield. Go back to
previous screen and climb on the pipe. Follow it until you come to a crossing,
continue south to another crossing. Go west a bit, down the ladder, north and
get the Power Ring and the Angelic Ring. Go back on the pipe, and this time go
south.

You'll reach a smoky area. Get down the pipe, south, up on another pipe, and
follow it to next screen. Here, get down, follow the path east, get on the
other pipe, follow it until you can get off, whip across, go on the other pipe
and follow it until you can get off. Get inside and cut the brown wire (9
hits). Go back on the pipe, follow it until you can get down, jump down and
follow the pipe west until you can get off. Follow the path until you reach
another foggy area.

Here, follow the easy path until you reach the other screen. Kill the guard and
proceed upstairs. Go north to next room. Step on the platform to reach the
other side, then use the other platform. When you stop, get back on the
platform but from the left side. This way you'll reach the chest, which
contains a Power Source. Get back north and next room. 2 elevators, use the
right one. Go to next room.

Go south to next room, then again to next. Go east and get the Hell Armor. Go
back 2 rooms. Go northeast, then east to next room. You'll fight some guards,
and the last one will run away, stepping on some invisible platforms. To get
past the hole, go to the left of the room, 1 tile before the hole, and do this:
3 south, 4 east, 3 south. Go through the door. To cross here, from the
entrance, do this: 3 north, 5 east, 3 north, 6 west and 3 north. Go through the
door. Here, there are 3 doors. The first one some Fire Ore, the second one
wires (cut the 3rd wire) and the third door enemies. Once you cut the wire, go
east and south to next room. Whip on the east pole and go east to next room. Go
north, kill the 2 guards and proceed upstairs. Follow the path and talk to the
guard to fight him.

Do not underestimate these (well, now you can begin to). They can hit for 40-50
or hit the hole party for around 25. Don't start with Rami in your party, but

****************************************

After the fight, go through the door. You'll see the "King of Gratze". Push his
throne and fall down. Pick the Royal Ring from the chest, and exit the way you
want.

You'll be on the ship. Throw the Royal Ring in the water and Eristol will
appear.

* 33. Eristol *
***************
Items: Sea Disc x2, Water Armor
Suggested Levels: 21

Here, simply go north and enter the building. You'll find some inscriptions on
the walls around here. Read them if you wish. Go left, upstairs (the
inscription here is an alchemist!) and exit. Outside, follow the path until you
reach the ground. East is another building, go upstairs and read the
inscriptions. Rubius will think about something... Now just go north to the
Labyrinth of Eristol.

Go north and downstairs. Go south, down the stairs twice and west. Push the
block and proceed. Here, you'll need to walk and swim in the water. Read the
stone plate with the Rubius and the door will open. Go east and get in the
water, head north, out via the ladder and get the Sea Disc from the chest. Go
back south, west and out, follow the path until you can go back in water (not
via the ladder, but via the stairs) and continue north. Get out using the
ladder and whip across on the pillar. Go north and the door will open. Go
through. Go north, step on the platform, and go north down the stairs. Go south
(not in the water) and go east in the water. Go south, west, out, south to next
room.

Whip west, step on the platform, step on the bottom-left one, get back on the
platform but walking north, step on the other platform walking south, go east
and step on the final one. Go west to next room. Go east, get in the water, go
south to next room, get out of the water, get on the stone bridge, go south,
east, south until you cant go anymore, west, south and get off. Head to the
next room. Go east in the water, east, out, south, push the block, west and
downstairs. Go west and north to get out of the water and to reach the next
room.

Go north, up the stairs and east to get the Sea Disc. Go back downstairs and in
the water. Swim east, north, ignore the ladder, and go west to next room. Go
through the next rooms until you reach one with a crack on the wall. Break it
with Bau's hammer to continue. Climb the ladder and get the Water Armor. Go
back to the room with the ladder I told you to ignore. Climb it and enter the
right door. Go east, step on the platform and open the chest to get the Maze
Key.

Go back to previous room and climb the ladder to the left. Enter the room. Go
north and use the Maze Key on the door. It'll open. Go on through. Read the
plate. If we proceed we'll be a sacrifice... hmmm. So continue downstairs. Go
west, downstairs and north. You'll see a opening with a crack left. Bang it and
go on. Go west then south to reach the next room.

Here you'll see the Time Portal. Before going in it though, you may want to go
south and exit the area (don't worry you can come back quickly via the map) and
go sleep, save and restock.

But before going through the warp, there's something we can do. You can wait
later if you wish, as it involves fighting a boss. But I'll tell it here. Go
back to the room with the crack left of an opening (2 rooms before the portal).
Enter the opening. Go north to next room. Continue north and in the water. Go
in the 2nd lion's mouth. Here go in the 3rd. This time go through the right
one. Here you'll see a fish. Just go fight it.
