Final Fantasy III/Nepto Temple

''Luneth and friends were on a quest to restore the Light Crystals, but they strayed from the path and now they cannot even get back. The only option is to go on, visiting the hidden town of the Gnomes and later calming down the sea god Nepto. After all this trouble, they are rewarded with a mighty ship, so that they can resume their quest.''

Healing Copse
Now that you're out of the nest, it is a good idea to save and equip one of your characters with the Mini spell. After you've saved, walk to the forest in the southwest. In this area there 3 different Springs surrounding a gnome. One to revive any fainted characters, one to restore HP/MP and one to cure all status ailments. Speak to the gnome here to recieve a mini spell(see tip to the right!) It also may be a good idea to change your physical-based jobs to magic-based jobs, since as Gnomes your physical attacks won't work well. Cast mini on everyone in your party, leave the Copse and walk south to enter Tozus.

Tozus
Once in Tozus, go to the house in the northwest corner and talk to the man lying in bed. Give him an antidote and he will open a secret passage as a thank for your help. before going down check the room for hidden loot! (Mythril Bracers, Fire Staff, Fira and Cura are hidden in the bookshelves, pots, and tables in the house).

You may want to buy some spells for your mages before continuing but, when you're ready head down the secret passage!

Tozus Tunnel
Open the two chests (2x Phoenix Downs) and go down the stairs. Walk through the passageway until you are on the world map. Don't un-mini yourself just yet! Save, then enter Vikings' Cove to the northwest

Viking Base
as you enter the main room go east from the man laying in bed to the wall, then south through a hidden passage to a chest (Spark Dagger). On the north end of the cave, the door to the right of the stairs leads to an Inn and Shops. Buy anything you need and leave this room then go up the stairs to the west. Go west then south through a hidden passage at the end of the trail, where you'll find two chests (Viking Axe and 3000 Gil) and a spring that revives any fallen party members.

Go back through the hidden passage and east to the Moogle. South(very slightly southwest) of it is a secret passage to a room with three treasures (Fira, Thundara and Blizzara). Leave this passage and continue east, then south and talk with the viking leader. He wants you to defeat the sea dragon and in return he will give you his ship "Enterprise". Go north to exit the cave to appear on another part of the world map with a ship nearby. Walk north along the coast until you reach a temple.

Nepto Temple
Enter the temple, walk north and interact with the dragon statue. The party will notice a gem missing and note the mouth of the statue can be entered if mini is cast on the party. Go inside and walk east until you get to the two holes. Walk into the western hole for two chests (Shell Helm and Shell Armor). Enter the eastern hole and walk east, Grab the chest (Serpent Sword) and, continue east into the hole. Go east until you meet the Giant Rat.

BOSS: Giant Rat


If you have a party of high level mages just cast level 3 spells on him and you will be done in no time. If not, continue with lvl 2 spells. After your victory you will receive Nepto Eye. Go back to the temple entrance and interact with the statue again to Nepto Eye back.

The Nepto Dragon will thank you for your help and reward you with Fang of Water. un-mini yourself and go back to Vikings' Cove. Talk with the viking leader again to receive the ship Enterprise. Now you can go anywhere in the Inner Sea.
