Just before you reach Nasr you'll be spotted by Baltor, the notoriously vicious leader of the Black Pirates. He's keen to take on the ageing Little Jack in order to steal the cargo from your Nasrean charge, which gives you the first [[Eternal Arcadia/Ship Battles|Ship Battle]] of the game.

{{Bossbar||title=Ship Battle: Baltor The Black Pirate|contents=Before you actually engage Baltor's ship, you'll be given a quick rundown of the Ship Battle system by Drachma. Choose an action for the character, and choose when you'd like them to execute it. The effectiveness of certain moves will depend on who executes them; for instance a strong character like Drachma will do more damage with a cannon than Aika.

The easiest way to find Valua is to follow the stone reef back to Sailor's Island and head north from there - on your way, keep an eye out on the right (or starboard, if you prefer) for a small circular island with the "Guidestones" [[Eternal Arcadia/Discoveries|Discovery]] on it.

Vyse hands over the Valuan Passport for inspection, and you'll be given clearance to pass through The Grand Fortress, a hugely impressive structure that protects the only entrance to the Valuan capital. As the giant doorway swings open, you'll see the thick wall lined with cannons that repelled the entire Nasrean fleet for days at a time, during the war ten years ago.

With Bliegock defeated, it's a good idea to head back and save your game again - if you're running low on items you might even want to go all the way back to Lower City and stock up again. Once you're ready, head up the ladder at the back of Bliegock's room to the Coliseum.

After defeating The Executioner, you'll find yourself back in the Catacombs where you defeated Bliegock. Head straight down the stairs to the Save Point and you'll see Marco standing beside a hidden door - he saw your performance in the Coliseum and has come to help you out.

The guards don't have any particularly big moves, but one notable technique they've got is ''Counter Stance'', similar to Vyse's ''Counterstrike''. They'll take a defensive stance and counter any regular physical attacks.

With the Grand Fortress closing fast, Vyse punches the Little Jack's engines to full speed, aiming for the narrowing gap between the wall and door. Sparks fly as Drachma's ship scrapes through seconds before the Grand Fortress locks down, giving Vyse the boasting rights to being the first person to ever escape from Valua's Grand Fortress.
