Final Fantasy V/N-zone I

N-zone (desert area)
Restock on items, save, and take the airship to the hole where Tycoon used to be. Fly over to be sucked into the N-zone. As stated before, you can exit back to the world by boarding the ship and taking hold of the wheel again. Exit the ship to enter the N-zone proper.

The first part and works like the Shifting Sands. Make your way east until you reach a door. The monsters from the N-zone appear and warn you that your days are numbered, but that's all they do. Enter the door to a new area.

N-zone (pulley area)
This part has constantly moving pulleys which take you from floor to floor. Check a pulley to have it take you to its destination and check it again to go back. Ride the first pulley down, then head south to the first main area. This is divided into two large rooms with a smaller room in between. Grab the treasure here and exit south.

The second area has several levels; take pulleys to the bottom, go to the right to find three pulleys going up. The middle one is a dead end so don't bother with it. Take the one on the right for treasure, then go back and take the one on the left to exit to the third area.

There are two stairways leading north. Take the one on the right first to get some treasure, then go back and take the one of the left. Go up two more pulleys and exit.

N-zone (Mirage Village and forest)
You enter Mirage Village, through the door that was too dark and scary to enter before. This version is frozen in time so you can't talk to anyone, the shops definitely aren't open, and the piano doesn't even work. The recovery pot in the basement does work though, and it's a very good idea to make use of it. Exit the village the normal way and you enter a forest.

Explore and head north, then east, and finally south again, getting treasure you find on the way. When you reach the southeast corner, check the hole in the tree to open a hole in the ground. attempt to go in and a battle starts.

When the battle is over, continue into the hole to get to the next part.

N-zone (waterfalls)
Follow the passage as it circles south to the next area. Now follow the ledge east, wading through the waterfalls that flow over them. Continue to the end and enter a door hidden behind the waterfall to a small room with treasure. Go back and go through a doorway you just passed to another small room with treasure. Exit to the east here to a save point (finally). Continue to the next ledge where you'll spot a robot running around, this is Omega which is actually one of the most difficult battles in the game. If this is your first time through the game then we recommend you just avoid the battle by going around Omega and continuing east. The door at the end leads to the next part.

N-zone (study)
You enter a study with bookshelves. Check the books on the shelves first; one tells you about Omega and Dragon Lord, another very tough monster. The other tells you about a spell called GigaFlare. Prepare for battle, then check the book on the table.

When the battle is over you can open and close the book. With the book closed you can go back to the waterfall area, and go back to the save point to save if you can get by Omega without much risk. With the book open the door south leads to the next part of the dungeon.
