In an invisible passage on the 2nd floor you can find a chest containing a Ribbon. The chest is trapped and guarded by a Ninja.
A good strategy is to get quickly to the 8th level of Eureka ignoring the magic weapons. Down there you can heal and purchase Level 8 magic. On the 7th level you can battle Scylla for the best staff (in the NES version she also unlocks the Sage and Ninja jobs) and the Guardian for a featureless sword. Switch the Magus to Sage and the Summoner to Ninja, heal again and walk your way up collecting the other weapons: two more featureless swords and the Moonring Blade, probably the best weapon for the Ninja.

=== BOSS: Scylla & Co. ===
=== BOSS: Scylla & Co. ===
'''Amon''' is a bit of a challenge, but he is weak against physical attacks and poison spells.
The '''Kunoichi''' and the '''General''' can use no magic attacks, therefore they will be easy to beat.
'''Scylla''' and the '''Guardian''' are more of a challenge, because they can use powerful magic attacks that target all four Warriors of Light. Luckily, a healing fountain and a reviving fountain can be found just in next room.

Xande is a strong magician. Use now any Shining Curtain, then attack with any weapon and/or non-elemental spells.

You would think that Xande was the final enemy, but someone else appears: the Dark Cloud.


The Dark Cloud cannot be defeated now: it is part of the plot. Still, the Onion Knight can resist its attacks and make this scene tedious. To quicken up everything, remove the Onion Shield and make the Onion Knight attack himself.
