Final Fantasy III/Cave of Tides

''After rescuing the people of Tokkul and Argass, the King gives the Warriors of Light a mystic artifact to transform a normal ship into an airship. Now the Warriors of Light can leave the Floating Continent and look for the two remaining crystals.''

Suggested team for this chapter:
 * Thief
 * Knight
 * Scholar
 * Ranger

The airship Enterprise
Talk to the King of Argus, then go to Canaan and talk to Cid. He will turn your ship into an airship.

Before you leave the Floating Continent, visit the Village of the Ancients and buy as many arrows you can for your Ranger. Also, make sure you have the Sight spell.

Temple of Water
Leave the Floating Continent and head north for a while, until the continent is in the lowest part of the map using Sight. At that point, head east until you get to the continent with the Temple of Water. Inside the temple there are two magic springs to heal and revive your party. Behind the temple is a Chocobo Forest and the entrance to the Cave of Tides.

The shipwreck
In order to access the Cave of Tides you need to find the Priestess of Water, Elia. Leave the temple and fly west until the continent is just outside the screen to the east, then fly north until you get to a small island with a shipwreck.

The blood sword is in a chest there. Equip it to the Knight. Although the Ice Sword deals more damage, the Blood Sword has the special ability of restoring the wielder's health points: this makes the new sword more useful.

Give a potion to the sick girl, and she'll join you: she is Elia, the Priestess of Water. She can take the shard of water and open the gate in the cave of Tides.

Cave of Tides
Enemies are weak against fire and thunder: carry the books and arrows with these elements with you.

All the enemies in this dungeon can only use physical attacks (except for the boss, of course). Because of this and because the Knight has the best armor, don't heal characters in critical state, but let the Knight protect them. Equip the Knight with the Blood Sword, so that he can restore his/her Health Points.

There are neither chests nor hidden items in the dungeon.

BOSS: Kraken
As soon as you enter the room of the Crystal, prepare for the boss fight by healing your characters. in the DS remake, Kraken is weak against lightning; in the NES version, he has no elemental weaknesses.
