[edit] Altar Cave

At the outset of the game, you see Luneth fall down a hole and into a cave. You get a chance to name him, but for the purposes of this walkthrough we will use his default name, Luneth, to refer to him.

After this, Luneth rounds a corner and ends up in a battle. Fight the goblins with physical attacks until they fall. After you defeat them, you gain control of Luneth. There's a path in front of you; travel forward and you'll encounter two chests. Claim the treasures (Leather Shield and Potion) inside.

Continuing ahead, Luneth sees a suspicious rock. Zoom in on it (using the camera symbol in the upper left corner, or the shoulder buttons) to discover that it shines. Interact with the rock (by tapping it or pressing the A button) to uncover a path forward! Go through it to find a chest (Longsword). If you haven't already, equip the shield and sword on Luneth, then take the stairs.

About Wellsprings

Wellsprings are very important, and pretty useful otherwise. Often, you can find them in towns or other such places, and rarely, in dungeons. They either heal HP and MP or revive party members.

Luneth finds himself at a crossroads. The left path contains a chest (Antarctic Wind). The right path also contains a chest (Potion). After getting these items, go forward again and loot the chest directly in front of you (Potion). The path splits off again at this point. The right path contains another chest (Antarctic Wind) and a "Wellspring".

For the time being, interact with it to heal yourself. Then, take the other path, which leads to a door...

Luneth arrives in a tiled room. Move forward and you're attacked!

[edit] BOSS: Land Turtle

Level: 4 | HP: 111 | Weakness: None | Gil: 500 | EXP:20

Whoo! First boss battle! Anyway, this battle is fairly straightforward. While you can use the two Antarctic Winds you found in this dungeon and then whack away at the boss until it's defeated, there is an easier way that lets you hold on to one of them. Equip yourself with a Longsword and a Dagger (replacing the shield) for much more powerful attacks, and use only one Antartic Wind on the Turtle. Follow that up with your standard attacks. If your health drops to around 10, then use a potion on yourself

About Saving

It is advised that you save a LOT in this game! You can only save on the world map; there are no save points in dungeons, so you may end up losing your progress if you perish while trying to defeat the boss!

After the boss battle, a cutscene plays (No spoilers for you) and you find yourself outside on the world map. Save your game, and then you can continue your journey...

Side Note: Instead of proceeding south, go back into Altar Cave and head forward from the entrance to find a room full of chests (Longsword (x2), Bronze Knuckles, Bronze Bracers, Sleep spell), as well as the hole you fell through on your first time through.
