Ancient Ticondera

Pharano

After Gorsia sent you back to the Dark Ages ("Darkness" in the English translations), you lie unconscious for one week. When you wake up, there are good news:

• "It's a terrible time because the two worlds, Light and Dark, are fighting. There is nothing we can do about it."
• "It's been a while since the two worlds have collided."
• "I heard that SARO defeated GORSIA. I'm relieved. We are safe."
• "I heard that SARO defeated GORSIA. So, peace and prosperity will return to us."
• "The monsters will have to return to the dark world now that GORSIA is gone."

There's some bad news, too: the Magic Map and the Windballs don't work anymore. Apparently, losing the seven Runes was not enough!

Since there is apparently no quest to solve around here, you can go shopping and collect two free items. When you're ready, leave towards the south and look for some trouble in Pasanda.

If you want to explore around Pharano, the monsters here are weaker than in Barluca and Gorfun. You'll find out soon that the area is surrounded by sea and mountains on three sides, leaving south as the only travel option.

Pasanda

Travel south until you get to the seaside, then continue south-west along the coast. Be prepared: soon, you'll encounter two stronger monsters. Eventually, you'll get to Pasanda.

Some news arrived in Pasanda from the west, and obviously they didn't reach Pharano in the east yet:

• "I felt a terrible pain three days ago, and I sensed SARO trying to tell me something. I'm afraid something has happened to him."
• "Returning from Ligena, Belma has a strange story to tell. Go to the tavern and catch the story."
• "It's really true. People in Ligena were telling me that GORSIA defeated SARO. If you don't believe me, go to Ligena, close to the west river, and find out for yourself."
• "Can you believe SARO was defeated? I don't want to!"
• "Don't be ridicolous! SARO can't be defeated."

Well then, what's going on? Let's summarize the battle between Saro the (God in the Japanese original) and Gorsia (Satan in the Japanese original):

1. First match: Saro defeated Gorsia, sealed his powers in the seven Runes and sent him to the future.
2. Second match: Gorsia came back from the future and beat Saro. This happened while you were unconscious.
3. Third match: The people of Bugask told you that Saro eventually won against Gorsia, so there must be a third match. Guess who is going to help Saro achieve the final victory? Obviously, that's you!

Also note that the Runes have been created already, and they will be destroyed only in the far future. That means that they are around here somewhere. Good, good news!

Now go shopping and collect a free harp.

Ligena

First thing to do in Ligena is some shopping.

Do not purchase the Chain mail or the Frtn shield: thanks to the Airship (see below), you can fly directly from here to the next town, Melenam, where you can get even better equipment.

After shopping and saving, go to the house of the Elder. He confirms what we already guessed from the news in Pasanda, adding further details:

• "You are the person who came from the future. As you might already know, you've traveled 5000 years into the past. GORSIA wields mighty powers of magic. He has plans to conquer the world. Once, SARO defeated GORSIA and sealed his power in the Seven Runes. However, GORSIA had some magic left. He fled into the future, where SARO could not reach him. GORSIA knew he could not get the Runes himself, so he sent you after them. When you brought the Runes to him, he succeded in freeing his power. Didn't you notice each Rune had a mysterious power? The power you felt was GORSIA's."

His clerics also explicitly ask you to help Saro defeat Gorsia. Then, they tell you that in the nearby Melenam some people are trying to defeat Gorsia using technology. They suggest to get to Melenam by airship.

Back in town, the western lane is now free for passage. Walk along the city perimeter until you get to Ropesu's house. This guy just purchased an Airship (for seven millions Gold Pieces!). Let's ask him a lift to Melenam:

• Esuna charms Ropesu, and she gets the lift for free;
• Lejes and Wilme are rude with Ropesu, and he refuses categorically;
• Valsu, Kamil, Olvan and Lux are asked to pay 7000 G for the ticket.

If you are refused the lift or if you don't want to pay 7000 G, look for a secret passage to the airship. It can be found in a random room in Ropesu's home, behind cupboards or shelves. If you talk to anyone in the passage or in the airship, you'll be bounced back in the streets. Just get to the command bridge and talk to the pilot.

Chests on the Airship:

• Sapphire
• Magic Water
• Ruby

Ancient Melenam

Melenam

First of all, know that you can get back onboard the Airship and travel back and forth between Melenam and Ligena at leisure. If you paid a 7000 G ticket, you don't need to pay for it anymore. Notice that the inn in Melenam is twice more expensive than the inn in Ligena.

If Lux is the leading character, he can get a big tune-up in a laboratory in the top-left corner of Melenam: HP+30, MP+30, Power+20, Guard+20, Speed+20, Magic+20! If Lux is your second character, leave town, let your leader get knocked out, then go back to the same room and obtain the tune-up. You can also purchase a new weapon and a new armor for Lux in the shops.

In the shop you can also purchase the final armor and shield for Olvan and Kamil.

People of Melenam talk about their underground laboratory. You can access it on the lower level of Melenam, through the last door to the east. Down there, a few people talk about another town on the island-continent of Melenam: the town of Palsu. Since a locked door prevents you from exploring the laboratory to the end, let's go and visit Palsu.

Palsu

Hidden item in the inn

Palsu is located north-west of Melenam. Just follow the coast and you should get there.

The shops in Palsu sell the best weapons in the game, plus the best protections for Esuna, Valsu and Lejes.

Talk to the people in Palsu; eventually, you will meet a woman who asks you to bring a letter to her son Tafuro in Melenam. This young scientist is in the laboratory: let's get back there.

		Use the Runes in the order opposite to the order you got them (roughly): 7. Wizard Rune (it removes invulnerability, and makes Gorsia vulnerable to the other Runes); 6-5. Light Rune & Moon Rune (they halve Gorsia's magic and physical attacks); 1. Wind Rune (it halves Gorsia's speed, further weakening his attack and defense); 4. Sky Rune (it halves Gorsia's MP total); 3-2. Star Rune & Water Rune (they halve Gorsia's defense and HP total).
		After thus weakening Gorsia, buff your characters drinking bottles of Protection, Agility and Power, then attack.
