Return to Phin
If you make your way first to Altair, and on to Gatea, or even Palm, you will notice that the towns have been decimated. They are in such disarray that the game does not even zoom into the towns when you step on them on the map. Something has systematically wiped out every town in the world. Your only choice is to go to Phin. When you get close to Phin, you'll catch a glimpse of what was a responsible for all the destruction: a giant cyclone.
The townsfolk and castle guardsmen will all be concern about the cyclone, which apparently assaulted Phin once already, and people feel that a second attack will assuredly destroy the kingdom. If you go and speak with Princess Hilda, she will express dismay about the cyclone, which you can now learn as a key word. Hilda believes that the cyclone is following the will of the Emperor. Speaking with Prince Gordon won't reveal any more significant information, believing that the only way to stop the cyclone would be to somehow get inside of it without getting hurt.
Before you proceed, it would be wise to visit the Town of Phin, and pay a special visit to Paul's house again in the lower left corner. Speak with Paul, and ask him about the Cyclone. He will be so impressed by your brave intention to enter the cyclone, that he will offer his stash of incredible treasures in an effort to aide you. He invites you to push against the wall to the right of his bed, and if you do so, you will find eight treasure chests. In these chests you will find; Black Garb, Thief Gauntlets, an Elixir, Silver Cuirass, a Blood Sword, a Gold Hairpin, a Gold Cuirass, and a Ruby Cuirass.
Most of these items will be familiar to you, but the one that may stand out is the Blood Sword. If you're playing the original NES version, this should be the second one you obtain, but if you are playing any of the remakes, this is the first and only sword of its kind. When glancing at it in the Equip screen, it doesn't appear to be very special, but it has the power to drain the enemy's hitpoint to the wielder. It is also incredibly useful in particular boss battles, so holding on to it is quite essential.
Once you've cleaned out Paul's treasure trove, return to Phin Castle. If you haven't already, ask Hilda about Wyverns. She will reveal that in the past, they summoned Wyverns by shining the pendant in front of a mirror in the castle. You have a pendant, and if you explored the castle thoroughly, you may recall finding a mirror. To get to the mirror, you must return to the first floor and locate the stairs in the lower left corner. Climb them up to the third floor, and walk straight up to the door above, and you will enter the room with the mirror. Use the pendant in front of the mirror and you will observe the egg you placed in the Spring of Life at Wyvern Cavern begin to hatch. The newly hatched Wyvern will take flight and arrive at the castle. Ricard will step forward, reuniting Dragoon with Wyverns one final time.
The Cyclone
Now that you have a Wyvern at your disposal, you can approach the base of the Cyclone. Upon doing so, the Wyvern will carry your party into the air, and into the heart of the Cyclone, where a floating fortress can be see. The Wyvern will deposit you at the base of the fortress.
Use the Wyvern at leiseure during battles to cast Fire-8 on all enemies.
Item checklist:
- G-floor: (no items)
- Floor 1: Ripper (dagger)
- Floor 2: poison axe
- Floor 3: diamond helm, diamond gloves
- Floor 4: defender (sword), diamond armor
- Floor 5: wind flute
- Floor 6: (no items)
BOSS: the Emperor of Palamecia
Use the wind flute on him. Even if you defeat him first, the battle is over when all enemies are defeated, as usual.
