In this stage, Guon will say that Lord Pirate has sealed 3 barriers against you. To break them, the leader of the party needs to collect 10 gray Rookie Pirate Marks dropped by Mr. Alli. Once 10 marks are taken, the Mr. Alli will die and Kru will begin to spawn. Collect 10 Rising Pirate Marks dropped by Kru to disable the second barrier. Repeat and Captains begin to spawn. Collect another 10 Veteran Pirate Marks dropped by Captain. Once all the badges are collected, the party can proceed through the right portal onto the next stage.

Stage 3

In this stage, pirates are starting to retreat. Four different types of pirates will come out of 4 doors: Kru from the upper left, Ginseng Jars from the upper right, Mr. Alli from the bottom left, and Captain from the bottom right. Some of these occasionally drop keys. The party must seal every door in this stage by clicking on the door if you have the key. In order to exit the map, all the monsters must also be defeated.

Only seal the doors after 4 keys are obtained since spawn is reduced if you seal the doors.
