Legend of the Ghost Lion/Pixie territory

Town of Pixie
Like Davis, this town looks like a lone mushroom. It is located north-west from the former huge rock, across a river.

Cave of the slug
This cave is located south from Pixie.

Follow the path south and east, and you will reach the boss at once. Later, after you defeat it, explore the rest of the cave; it consists of a single loop, where you can find a fragment of hope (n.7) that will restore Maria's courage and dreams.

Boss: Huge Slug
When you defeat the Huge Slug, Maria will collect a slug; this item is necessary during the 6th chapter. It is unclear why the pixies feared the Huge Slug. Actually, the Huge Slug misses evil pixies or sprites almost always. Still, the Huge Slug will be stronger than Moja for a while, although the latter is faster.

At the end of the corridor, a pixie gives Maria the mystical rope; together with Elf's hold spell, this allows to block one more enemy during combat.

Ranya tower
Leave Pixie village and travel north. You will soon see a tower; it is an enemy-infested area with a friendly town at the top.

Tower outline:
 * Ground floor: waterjug
 * Floor 1: girl
 * Floor 2: fragment of hope (n.8), bread
 * Floor 3: town

Town of the Ranya Tower

 * Green merchant: "Welcome! Welcome! What do you want to buy? Please come back again."

Witch's forest
Two people in Ranya tower directed Maria here. In order to reach it, follow the coast north and west. This area looks like a hollow tree from the outisde.

The forest is free from any enemy, therefore you can take your time navigating it. Look at the tile just south of every hollow tree until you find the music box. Specifically, it is near the tree in the south-east corner.

Talk to the witch, bargain a bit, and you will obtain her flying broom, as a man in Ranya tower said.

Use the broom to fly back to Pixie, restore & save the game, then bring the music box to the girl in Ranya tower. She will thank you by explaining how to use the waterjug Maria found in the same tower.

Lake of Paradise
After visiting Ranya Tower again, continue north, but this time follow the east mountains and coast. You will reach the faerie spring called Fairy. Continue to the west. Access the dungeon area from the west side of the lake.

Enter the cave near Paradise Lake shore. At the fork, the south-east path is just a loop; go east for a fragment of hope (n.9); go south then west to emerge on the islet. On the lake isle, do as the old man says, then leave.

Rainbow bridge
Leave the Lake of Paradise, save at the Fairy spring, then continue along the northern "frontier" to the two hollow trees on opposite sides of a river. Inside, give the enchanted water to the Rainbow Child, and he will open the passage to the next region.
