Legend of the Ghost Lion/Werewolves' Territory

Fon's cave
This cave is located south-west from Davis.

Try the four paths in this order:
 * 1) The South path is a dead end.
 * 2) The East path leads to the Elf's rapier; turn south at the first fork.
 * 3) The West path leads to the Red Ring; turn north at the first fork.
 * 4) Continue east, and Maria will join the North path; keep east, and she will find a fragment of hope (n.4).

IMPORTANT: try and collect the two spirit items before you get the fragment of hope; this way, the new spirits will be upgraded by one extra hope-level.

The Elf's rapier becomes one of the most useful spirits in the game, as soon as he gets 2 fragments of hope (indeed, he is depicted on the game cover); in fact, his "Hold" spell is very effective against most enemies. Twana will learn the same spell later, but the Elf's one has a better success rate.

Werewolf castle ruins
These ruins are located south from Davis.
 * Trapped chest: "We werewolves protect this castle. If you defeat us, the treasure is yours."

In the ruins there are three entrances to the castle dungeons. In each dungeon there is one chest guarded by werewolves. Try and explore them in this order:
 * 1) The stairs just south of the entrance lead to a fragment of hope (n.5). Now the Elf learns the "Hold" spell (if Maria collected the Elf's rapier before the fragment of hope in Fon's cave).
 * 2) The stairs far in the west leads to a chest with 100 Rubies.
 * 3) The stairs north of the entrance lead to the boss...

Boss: King Wolf

 * Trapped chest: "I am the wolf king. Why do you disturb my sleep? I will not stand for it!"

Summon two spirits, then attack the Wolf King with all three characters, and he will fall quickly.

After the victory, Maria finds the Dog's Eye (a jewel or an artifact) in the chest.

Cave of the dog statue
This cave is located north-west from Davis.

At the fork, first go south and jump into the hole. The east path is a dead end; a fragment of hope (n.6) is at the end of the north path; go south-east and climb back up to the previous floor.

Continue north and do as the old man says: the passage will open. Downstairs, the south path is a dead end, therefore go east and collect the horn from the chest.

Leave the cave and continue south. When Maria reaches the huge rock, use the horn, and the way will open.
