Behind the cascade of falling mist lies a deep cavern with many winding passages. Here you must go to solve the mystery of the U.F.O. seen in Onrac. Enter the river near Onrac and travel north straight into the waterfall. As you approach the treasure room, be prepared to fight Cockatrices and Pyrolisks—the latter can knock out party members in a single turn. Some enemies like the Green (Gas) Dragon are extremely dangerous, while others like the Clay Golem (MudGol) are easy to run away from. | Behind the cascade of falling mist lies a deep cavern with many winding passages.

It will mention something about a flying fortress and give you the key item called the {{s|Key items|Warp Cube}}, which you'll need later in the game. You'll also find two more usable pieces of equipment. The Wizard Staff will cast Confuse on all of your enemies when used in battle. The Defender (Defense) sword will cast Blink on the user for added protection. To avoid the frustration of all of the side paths, Exit or Teleport will instantly remove the problem. | ||

If you visit Lufenia before taking the Rosetta Stone to Dr. Unne, it could be a frustrating trip. The fact is that the people of Lufenia speak an ancient language which has been forgotten everywhere else in the world. Return to Melmond with the Rosetta Stone from the Sunken Shrine. Show the stone to Dr. Unne, who's wandering the graveyard in the northeast part of town. He will be able to decipher a Lufenian puzzle, and in return will teach your party to understand the cryptic language. | If you visit Lufenia before taking the Rosetta Stone to Dr. Unne, it could be a frustrating trip.
