As soon as you leave the Dwarf's home, the earth will shake. You will be transported to the bottom of the village, where a gigantic plant will burst through the ground. This is Tropicallo. Tropicallo can't move around other than by withdrawing from its current location and sprouting back up somewhere else. Access to Tropicallo is limited by the set of rocks that he is situated behind, so you can's simply run up to him and smack him with your weapons. You have to carefully attack him through the rocks.

You have to carefully attack him through the rocks (probably stalagmites).

He attacks by spitting rocks into the air, which ultimately land on you. If the girl is in your party, ~~than~~ the boy or the girl will be attacked at random. In addition to the rocks, Tropicallo has two buds which come out of the ground and sprout vines which creep along the ground. They can be attacked as well, but you should focus on the main body, and only worry about the buds or the vines if they interfere with your ability to reach Tropicallo.

Continue to run to wherever Tropicallo appears, and strike him once his neck is fully extended. Do this until he is defeated. You will earn a '''Spear Orb''' for your success. Then the Dwarf and the Sprite from the show will appear. The elder Dwarf will explain that Tropicallo appeared from the Underground Palace, so a way in must have opened. Upon hearing that the Sprite might regain its memories through the power of Mana, it wants to find the way there. But the elder suggests it would be safer with companions. You must talk to the Sprite and it will offer to join you.

Head back to the blacksmith, and he will explain that he created an axe, but that it's not very good. ~~But~~ when he gives it to you, the Mana power awakens. In addition to the Boomerang and the Bow and Arrow, you now have three new weapons to master. Watts will then open up a shortcut to his home that leads straight to the entrance of Gaia's Navel, where Neko is waiting. ~~Before~~ you head up the stairs, you should do two things.

In addition to the Boomerang and the Bow and Arrow, you now have three new weapons to master. Watts will then open up a shortcut from his home that leads straight to the entrance of Gaia's Navel, where Neko is still waiting. But before you head up the stairs, you should do two things.

First, talk to Watts, and let him upgrade the Spear with your newly obtained Spear Orb. That will turn it into a '''Heavy Spear'''. Second, return to the item shop to buy equipment for the Sprite. The Rabite Cap and the Power Wrist are relatively cheap ways to improve the Sprite's defense. If you held on to an extra Chain Vest, and can give that to the Sprite as well. Return to Watts' room and use his shortcut to exit back to Gaia's Navel. Be sure to save your game with Neko. Then circle back around to the outer rim and head North. This will take you to the region shown to the right. Follow it to the top and step in between the columns to be transported to the Haunted Forest.
