Legend of the Ghost Lion/White Lion's territory

Tanya spring, Thea spring, Orange Moon town
When you emerge from the south exit of the cave, the nearest spring is Tanya spring, to the east. From there, travel west and all the way south to Thea spring and the nearby Orange Moon town (that is a mushroom-town).

Cave of the Silver Mountain
Let us complete the sub-quests started in the previous chapter.

This cave is located just south of Tanya spring. Near the entrance, a witch will complete the information from the town of Orange Moon.

As usual, it is better to collect the spirit items before any fragment of hope.
 * 1) Centaur's silver cup: at the first fork, go north and open the chest at the end.
 * 2) Gnome's goldrock: at the second fork, go north, descend the stairs, then go west for the chest.
 * 3) Fragment of hope: from the goldrock location, go back to the previous room and explore the north path; the fragment of hope (n.20) is halfway through; at the end, Maria will find a staircase up.
 * 4) Bread: back on the upper floor, get to the dead end at the west; open the chest; quickly backtrack straight east to exit.

Eastern lake and cave
Located to the south of Tanya spring and Silver Mountain.

From the entrance, go south at the fork and follow the path. Maria will meet and fight the Hugefrog boss first, then find a fragment of hope (n.21) to replenish all her courage and dreams.

Now let us backtrack to the entrance and explore the rest of the cave...

The corridor branches in two. The short south-east path has a fragment of hope (n.22). The longer north-east path leads to a chest with bread.

Boss: Hugefrog
Summon the Rapier Elf and cast the M.Barrier to ward off the magic attacks of the Hugefrog. Then, attack until the enemy is defeated.

Upon victory, Maria will obtain the Frog item, that allows to summon the Hugefrog. The first advantage of this summon is that it requires less dreams than any other; the second advantage is that it is necessary to defeat the Hydra later.

Klein's cave
This cave is located to the far east from Orange Moon, beyond the entrance of the.

The first level is a loop. There is a fragment of hope (n.23) in the south-east corner. Three staircases lead to the same area of the basement. The western staircase leads closer to a chest with a bread; the middle one is equally distant from the bread and the Hydra; the eastern one is closer to the Hydra boss.

For a complete but fast exploration of the dungeon, you may proceed this way:
 * 1)  Chest 1: from the entrance, go east; ignore th stairs and continue south; open the chest for a fragment of hope (n.23); it is good to upgrade Maria and all the spirits as early as possible.
 * 2)  Chest 2: from the now empty chest, continue west; ignore another staircase, and descend the next one; follow the path and open a chest for one bread.
 * 3)  Chest 3: from the bread chest, continue along the east path; ignore a fork south, but go south at the next one; fight the boss (see just below here), then claim Klein's jug.
 * 4)  Exit: from the previous location, go north, then east; climb the stairs (they are actually the first ones you saw); continue straight west to the exit.

Boss: Hydra
As you were told in Orange Moon town, first summon the Hugeslug to startle the Hydra, then summon the Hugefrog to complete the three-corners deadlock. The Huge Slug prevents Hydra from attacking; the Huge Frog prevents it from dodging attacks. Now, feel free to summon any other spirit and attack.

After the victory, Maria can obtain Klein's jug, that has to be used in the next cave.

Cave to the Gate of Evil
This cave is located halfway between Orange Moon and Klein's cave.

From the entrance, Maria can only go north.
 * 1) Chest: at the crossroads, ignore the west stairs and go east: descend the staircase you see there. Downstairs, open the chest Maria will find for a fragment of hope (n.24).
 * 2) Dais: at the nearby fork, go south (the north path leads to the staircase we ignored earlier on). Talk to the old man and Use Klein's jug on the dais, as he instructs you.
 * 3) Exit: backtrack; at the downstairs fork, you may as well choose to go north-west; back upstairs, go north at the crossroads and exit.

Return to Thea spring, restore Maria and save the game.

White Lion's pyramid
The While Lion's pyramid is located north-west from Thea spring.

There are four staircases on the ground floor. The two downwards ones are connected, and allow to get just some bread. There are two fragments of hope in the upper floors of the pyramid. It can be advisable to visit it twice: on the first exploration, take the chest in the basement; on the second visit, go fight the final boss and take the two chests on the way.


 *  Chest 1: enter the pyramid and descend the first visible stairs; follow the only available path; a chest with one bread is in plain view; when the path leads back to the ground floor, Maria is actually in the entrance hall again.

Therefore, leave the pyramid, go back to Thea spring (heal up and save), and get ready for the next exploration.


 *  Chest 2: cross the entrance to the hall with three staircases; climb the one to the left (west); follow the path; at the first fork, go north and get a fragment of hope (n.25), then continue on the previous path and descend the east stairs;
 *  Chest 3: upon descending the stairs, Maria is at another fork; to the north she would get back to the entrance hall (right/east stairs), therefore go west; after descending the west stairs, go north for the last fragment of hope (n.26);
 *  To the final boss: continue by climbing down the stairs to the east; there is actually one single path that leads to the hall of the White Lion.

Boss: White Lion
Before you talk to him, use every bread and tear in the inventory to restore courage and dreams.

First of all, let Maria protect herself with the Aurora. Then, summon as many spirits as possible. Two spells from the Rapier Elf can be surprisingly useful: "Return" first, and then repeatedly "Dark". All the remaining spirits should keep attacking.

Remember that whenever a spirit's power gets to zero, you can summon it again with full power. The more spirits engage the battle, the less chances that Maria herself is chosen as target by the White Lion.

When the White Lion gets defeated (just defeated, not killed), enjoy the ending.
