''A friend in Canaan suggested that the Warriors of Light visit King Argass, but when their ship lands there, they found the castle completely empty. Meanwhile, the city of Tokkul is being raided by mysterious brigands, who come from a flying castle, but the Warriors of Light cannot get to that fortress either. The only thing left to do is to cross the desert and visit the Village of the Ancients, who probably know something about the Light Crystals.''

''The Ancients are quite disappointing, instead: they tell you how the Light Crystals were threatening the World and four Warriors of Darkness turned them off. But you're the Warriors of Light: are they trying to persuade you give up the video game? One little thread starts from their village, though: someone suggests to visit the Gulgans in their home valley.''

===Looting Tokkul===
===Looting===
Enter the village and search a tree in the northwest corner of town ('''Lamia Scale'''). South of the tree is a searchable crate ('''Great Bow''') and southeast of that crate is another crate ('''Bacchus's Cider'''). Go east and seach along the tree line for another bit of loot ('''Ice Staff''').


Enter the northmost house and go into fireplace for two chests and a searchable vase ('''Serpent Sword''', '''Kenpo Gi''' and '''Sonic Knuckles''').  
From Nepto Temple, sail northwest until you come to a peninsula. Disembark and head a very short distance west to find Castle Argus.


Leave the village and sail west then north along the coast until you get to Castle Argus.
===Looting Castle Argus===

Enter the castle and you'll find that it's empty...may as well grab some loot! Go inside and head all the way upstairs.  


===Castle Argus===
Once on the top floor, go to the weapon rack northeast of the round table, then through the wall just south of it for two chests with '''Antarctic Wind''' and '''Bomb Fragment'''. Head east between the chests, through another secret wall, to find another chest containing '''Arctic Wind'''. If you need to heal or revive, head out the south door for a two wellsprings.
Enter it and you'll find out it's empty. What has happened here? Go inside and upstairs.  


Go right from the round table and go downstairs (which is hidden). You will come across two chests ('''Antartic Wind''' and '''Bomb Fragment'''). Go between the chests through the wall to the east to a hidden chest ('''Artic Wind'''). Go back up and exit the room to the south to find two springs (Revive and Restore).  
There is another secret passage, but there is nothing useful in it at this point, so we'll come back to it later.


There is another secret passage, but we'll get there later. Actually, in that passage there's nothing that is can be used now, and you would risk to fill completely your menu.
Since you couldn't meet the King of Argus, head to Tokkul.


Since you couldn't meet the King of Argus, go back to Tokkul and follow the other thread, that leads you to the Village of the Ancients.

From Castle Argus, follow the coast southwest until you come to the village of Tokkul.
 
Enter the village and search a tree in the northwest corner of town to find a '''Lamia Scale'''. South of the tree is a searchable crate with a '''Great Bow'''. Southeast of that crate is another crate with '''Bacchus's Cider'''. Go east and search along the tree line for an '''Ice Staff'''.
 
Enter the northmost house and walk into fireplace for two chests and a searchable vase, containing '''Serpent Sword''', '''Kenpo Gi''' and '''Sonic Knuckles''', respectively.
 
Once you've stuffed your pockets, exit Tokkul and trek west on foot until you come to a shoreline. Follow the shoreline south and then west across a fairly narrow strip of land to arrive at a forest. Walk a little further west and you'll find the Village of the Ancients.

Go upstairs twice and go left, then north to talk with the child. He will give you a prize ('''Gnomish Bread'''), if you run around the floating continent with a chocobo and then return to him. Check the white flower ('''Serpent Sword''') north of the well near the Inn.
Once inside the village, go up two sets of stairs, then go west around the wall to talk with a child. He will give you a prize of '''Gnomish Bread''' if you run the outer ring of the continent on a Chocobo and then return to him. It doesn't take very long, and you won't have to fight any monsters, so consider taking him up on his challenge if you're hard up for '''Gnomish Bread'''. After you're done playing with birds, check the white flower north of the well near the Inn for a '''Serpent Sword'''.


Exit the village and go east until yo've come across a forest with a circle of grass. That is the Chocobo Woods. Enter it and you can get a Chocobo and run around without getting into random encounter. Run once with a Chocobo around the continent to claim a prize in the village.  
Head to the item shop and buy some '''Maiden's Kiss'''; you'll need them soon. Buy anything else you may need here. The '''Light Staff''' is a good buy if you're playing the 3D versions of the game.  


Buy some Maiden's Kiss, since you'll need them soon, and maybe a Light Staff, with which a White Mage can cast Thunder. Go back to Ship and sail northwest of Nepto Temple until you've across a castle. Walk northwest from the castle for a bit until you come across a mountain range and take the lower path to reach the Gulgan Gulch.
Once you've had your fun grabbing loot and playing with Chocobos, head back to your ship and sail to Castle Argus. From Argus, head west until you run into a mountain range. Follow the mountains north, then southwest at the branching path. The northwest branch leads to another Chocobo woods. You should see a cave just to the north, which is Gulgan Gulch.

Go on and go downstairs and talk with the man in the middle. He will give you the spell '''Toad''' which is needed in Tower of Owen, where you'll go next. He also tell that Desch's destiny lies in the tower. Go south through a secret passage to three chests ('''Fire rod''', '''Ice rod''' and '''Mage Robe''').

The tower is north of Castle Argus. On the first floor go around to a small room and turn your party into toads and enter the room. One floor higher turn your party back and continue west to floor 3. On half way you will hear a eerie voice who welcomes you here. On floor 3 go west of a chest ('''Echo Herbs''') to next floor. Nothing here, so Go to floor 5. On floor you will hear a laughter from the eerie voice again. check the chests ('''Spark Dagger''') and continue to next floor.
After meeting the Gulgans head around the mountain range to the north and grab a Chocobo if you want. Now head to the Tower of Owen. The easiest way to get to the tower is to follow the shoreline north from Castle Argus.  
 
The first floor of the tower is B1. It is a large square so head around either way and take the small path to a room in the center (See Kowega's map to the right if you get confused. Some of the loot is wrong for the remakes but the shape is correct). Turn your party into toads and enter the room to get to F1.
 
Once you land on the F1 go ahead and un-toad yourself. Follow the path to F2.
 
On F2 go west, then south, then east for a chest ('''Echo Herbs''') then head west and north to F3.
 
There is no loot on F3 so follow the trail around to F4.
 
On F4 head west then south, make a quick detour east for a chest ('''Spark Dagger''') and continue west to F5.
 
On F5 head west until the voice taunts you then double back and check the tiny path to the north to find a switch. Hit the switch and head south through where there was a wall previously. Head west, but ignore the stairs; instead go all the way west then north for a chest ('''Echo Herbs'''). Take the stairs to F6.
 
F6 has no loot so follow the path around and take the stairs to F7.
 
On F7 head east and grab the chests ('''Echo Herbs''' and '''Bomb Fragment'''), then follow the path west to F8.


The eerie voice tell you on floor 6 that you'll never find the way to the place. Check the north nische to make a wall disappear. Check the chests ('''Echo Herbs''') west of the stairs and go upstairs twice. Go right to find 2 chests ('''Echo Herbs''' and '''Bomb Fragment'''), then go left to next floor.
On F8 follow the path and after a short section heading north it will split to a T. Go east and grab the chest ('''Sonic Knuckles''') then head west and follow the path to F9


Go west, north, then east to find a chest ('''Sonic Knuckles'''). Go west and west again to the last floor before the boss. On this floor are 3 chests ('''Salamand Sword''', '''Flame Mail''' and '''Zeus's Wrath''').
On F9 follow the path, at the first split head east for a chest ('''Salamand Sword'''). Follow the path west to the next split, and take the northern path for a chest ('''Flame Mail''') Head south past the way you came from, then east to grab the chest ('''Zeus's Wrath'''). Prepare for a boss fight! When you're ready, take the stairs to F10 and the boss.

A team of mages would be best against Medusa, but other authors suggest the opposite. Start casting the highest level spells, then continue with lower levels after you used up the most powerful ones. Let your physical attackers simply keep attacking (it's pretty much the only thing they can do).
Medusa is another fairly straightforward boss fight. Have your attackers attack and your mages cast. Be sure not to get too low on health as she'll occasionally cast Blizzaga, which can do a fair bit of damage to your entire party. If you get petrified, use a '''Golden Needle'''.  


After the fight, you'll find yourself back on the Enterprise and the Maelstrom blocking the way to the Dwarf Islands will subside.
