Lufia & the Fortress of Doom/Grenoble

Inn - 40 Gold

Note: The Weapon & Armor Shops are identical to Lorbenia, so if you couldn't buy the things in Lorbenia, now's your chance.

Most people here don't have any useful information, but they do talk a lot about this Old Cave, where you can find some spectacular treasure. The inn is in the lower left corner of town. Check out the weapon shop and examine the bookshelf which contains a POTION. Above that shop is the armor shop.

Walk around to the upper left house, where you should pay the man 50 Gold to learn about "the rumor". Examine the bookshelf behind him which contains a SPEED POTION (save for later). Follow the secret passage around to the back of town where you can find a hidden SPELL POTION in the flowers between the two trees. Go to the right to the steps to the Old Cave shop.

An old man here says he knows what you came here for, but wants something in exchange that can be found at the Old Cave. The way the Old Cave works is it is composed of 7 floors. In order to access the second floor, at least one character in your party needs to be at Level 5. For each subsequent floor you want to access, you need a character with 5 more experience levels. Talk to the man behind the counter to receive your first task in the Old Cave. Upon completing the task, you can get your reward from the woman behind the counter.

I simply listed the same equipment purchases above for ease of reference. Don't worry if your setup doesn't match mine listed below. By the time we're done with the Old Cave, we'll have more than enough money to buy everything we need. After resting at the inn, leave town, and cross the bridge to the island to the west, where you can enter the Old Cave.
