-TAKINEN VILLAGE-
The shop is updated, but doesn't have any gear. Head to Guilda's Treehouse.
Once there, head downstairs. Guilda tells the group about Cotrico Island, which
had sunk for 3000 years and has a dark spirit. That's where the Dark Lion King
is. Gami says you should steal a ship to get there, the rest of the group
doesn't really agree, but you do need to find a way. As everyone leaves, Guilda
gives Narcia the Gold Key to use when you get to the sea. Where are there
boats? Pasela, of course. Time to head there.
-PASELA-
Plenty of new stuff in the shops, stuff for everyone. You might notice a ring
that Narcia can't wear and a ribbon in the shops, those are for Kai, so you
might want to get them. Go and speak with Poshtov. He says he'll lend you his
boat, but the island is surrounded by monsters and evil, so he'll have to put
some special magic paint on the boat. He says to stay the night at the inn, it
should be ready in the morning. You have to play for the stay, but oh well,
it's all of 15G. During the night Pietro can't sleep and goes for a walk.
Narcia notices him leave and follows. Pietro doesn't know that he can save his
father, and doesn't think he could fight with him if he had to. Narcia says
that what they need to do is bring light to fight the dark spirit in Paulo, and
that they need to help him. As they are heading back, Guilda shows up saying
something is attacking the forest, and she's not sure how long she can hold it
off by herself. Narcia says it's too dangerous to do at night, so you'll go
help Guilda in the morning. Looks like your boat ride is on hold, head to the
forest.
-POPOLOCROIS-
ENEMIES: Slasher Weasel, Specter, High Mandragora, Treant.
NOTES: Try and get Aero Shoes off of Slasher Weasels if you can, they are
really good, best you can get for quite some time.
Woah, new monsters here. You might fight here a bit for some cash so you can
upgrade in Pasela.
-TAKINEN VILLAGE-
ENEMIES: Slasher Weasel, Specter, High Mandragora, Treant.
Head to Guilda's Treehouse. Head NW to where Narcia opened the path to the Cave
of Kings to find Guilda. After a warning from Guilda, the group heads in to
face the monster terrorizing the forest. There's a masked man there, saying
he's not allowing anyone to pass. Kimendoji says he's a dark spirit.
[GORG]
Gorg: ???
Attacks: Body Slam (Attack in front), Upper Cut (Attack in front),
This guy hits pretty hard, but he's really not too dangerous. Moon Slash is a
killer, added with Retribution and Request is insane. Just hit him hard and
fast, and have Narcia keep health up as usual.
There's a strange voice saying it can't let Gorg die here, and Gorg disappears.
Pietro says that the cave is where the Wisdom Crow was, and remembers speaking
with Vasqual. He decides he needs to speak with Sania about what's happened, go
see her. The stronger monsters are gone now, they seem to have left with Gorg's
defeat.
-POPOLOCROIS CASTLE-
Go to the throne room. As you enter, a scene starts. Pietro reports what's
happened thus-far, and Sania asks to see the Dragon Sword. She transfers some
of her power to it, and it becomes stronger. It's still likely not stronger
then what you have, but it grows in power as you level.
Okay, you have a choice now. You have two ways to get to Cotrico Island, by
taking the boat in Pasela or by going through the Cave Of Kings, where Vasqual
will open a teleportation gate to the island. What's the difference? Narcia.
More specifically, Narcia and Kai. If you go by boat, Narcia can't come, so
changes into Kai. If you go via Vasqual's teleporter, Narcia is with you. Since
Kai is stronger physically, she's more useful for random encounters, but Narcia
has Heal Rain and Retribution, which make boss fights much easier. It's up to
you who to bring, there isn't any difference storyline-wise or treasure-wise, I
checked.
If you want to take Narcia, you'll have to go through the Cave of Kings.
