One region of the world that you may not have visited yet is the mountain-locked region in the north half of this world's South American continent. If you look for a means to sail there, it looks like there might be one river that provides you with access, but your hopes will be quickly dashed on the shoals that block the mouth of the river and make passage by ship impossible. Another means must be found. Once you make it there, you will discover a kingdom that is ruled by a man who has become an executing tyrant in very recent times. A little digging around in the nearby cave may help you find an item that will shed some light on the ruler's personality change. Successfully solving the mystery will net you a possession that begins a chain of item exchanges which ultimately ends with an object that is more a key than a weapon. | One region of the world that you may not have visited yet is the mountain-locked region in the north half of this world's South American continent.

As hard as you try to find an entrance into the region above the Pirate's Den, you will not find any available access into the kingdom surrounded by mountains. The one river in the north is blocked off by rocks which prevent your ship from entering. In order to gain access, you'll need to find another method. That method will be by Travel Gate. Possession of the Final Key gives you access to the few doors that are found inside of shrines. | As hard as you try to find an entrance into the region above the Pirate's Den, you will not find any available access into the kingdom surrounded by mountains.

Possession of the Final Key gives you access to the few doors that are found inside of shrines. Beyond most of these doors, you will find Travel Gates. The kingdom that you are trying to reach is known as Samanao, and you have a couple of options when deciding how to get there. | ||
# If you are sailing north of Soo, there is an island just off the north coast of the continent that contains a shrine. The shrine contains three distinct Travel Gates. From left to right, they will transport you to the shrine north of Romaly, the shrine north of Baharata, and the shrine east of Samanao. If you take the right most gate, you will arrive via the left gate in the Samanao shrine. | # If you are sailing north of Soo, there is an island just off the north coast of the continent that contains a shrine.

# If you happen to be in the vicinity of Baharata or Dhama, you may wish to walk north of Baharata until you reach the shrine known as Olivia's Promontory. Open the door at the top to learn a little about the history of the Promontory from the occupant. Than open the gate to the right where you will find two Travel Gates. The bottom gate leads to the middle gate in the shrine north of Soo described above, while the top gate takes you to the right gate in the Samanao shrine. | # If you happen to be in the vicinity of Baharata or Dhama, you may wish to walk north of Baharata until you reach the shrine known as Olivia's Promontory.

Once you reach Samanao shrine, it will look as though you've reach a House of Healing, but in fact the man standing there will tell you about how the king of Samanao's personality has changed, and how Simon was banished and ordered to travel through the right gate (leading back to Olivia's Promontoty). Step outside the shrine to get a glimpse of the new land around you. To reach the kingdom, you will have to journey north, and then head west across the bridge that spans the rocky river. Continue west until you can follow a path to the south that leads directly to Samanao. Fortunately, once you visit there, you can easily cast Return to get back. | Once you reach Samanao shrine, it will look as though you've reach a House of Healing, but in fact the man standing there will tell you about how the king of Samanao's personality has changed, and how Simon was banished and ordered to travel through the right gate (leading back to Olivia's Promontoty).

On your very first visit to Samanao <span style="color:green">(Samanosa)</span>, you will bare witness to an unfortunate event. A funeral will be taking place in the cemetery to the right of the House of Healing.

The Equipment shop in Samanao is unusual in that it is found on the second floor, and it has some very valuable weapons and shields. The Dragon Killer is extremely expensive <span style="color:green">(Dragon Killer isn't sold here, so you have to buy Zombie Killer instead)</span>, but worth every piece of gold if you can afford it. Give it to your Hero, and a Soldier <span style="color:green">(Warrior)</span> if you have one. The Silver Shield <span style="color:green">(again you have to buy Dragon Shield instead of Silver Shield)</span> is also provides incredible protection. If you can't afford them all now, start saving up for them. When you are ready, approach the castle in the lower left corner of town. | The Equipment shop in Samanao is unusual in that it is found on the second floor, and it has some very valuable weapons and shields.

As the prisoner said, you will find the cave south of Samanao, and to the west across a bridge. It's a good idea to cast Repel or use Fairy Water, and stay off the hills if you wish to reduce the amount of combat you see on the way to the cave. | As the prisoner said, you will find the cave south of Samanao, and to the west across a bridge.

Multi-armed [[../Enemies#Skeleton|Skeletons]]/[[../Enemies#Skeletor|Skeletors]] can lower your defense and use their powerful sword attacks twice per round. [[../Enemies#Tortragon|Tortragons]] are dragon-like creatures with thick turtle shells on their back that can breath sleeping gas on your party. And [[../Enemies#Terror Shadow|Terror Shadows]]/[[../Enemies#Shadow|Shadows]] can damage your whole party with SnowBlast. You'll definitely have a tougher time keeping up with the healing in this dungeon. | ||
The first floor of this dungeon is a bit of a maze, with an outer ring that takes you all the way around the perimeter of the floor. However, a couple of paths cut into the interior of the dungeon, and that is where you'll ultimately find a passage that leads to a staircase that goes to the floor below. | The first floor of this dungeon is a bit of a maze, with an outer ring that takes you all the way around the perimeter of the floor.

When you arrive on this floor, you may be surprised to find a sequence of treasure chests, practically arranged in a line like bread crumbs leading you up and around to a room at the top of the floor. In order from the stairs to the room, the contents of the chests are '''128 gold''', a ''' [[File:Dragon Warrior 3 SNES Seed.png]] Strength Seed''' <span style="color:green">('''[[File:Dragon Warrior 3 GBC Seed.png]] STRseed''')</span>, '''56 gold''', a '''Wing of Wyvern''' <span style="color:green">('''[[File:Dragon Warrior 3 GBC Token.png]] Token / [[File:Dragon Warrior 3 SNES Pachisi Ticket.png]] Pachisi Ticket''')</span>, '''568 gold''', '''24 gold''', an '''Acorn of Life''' <span style="color:green">('''[[File:Dragon Warrior 3 GBC Seed.png]] LifeAcorn / [[File:Dragon Warrior 3 SNES Seed.png]] Life Nut''')</span>, a '''Medical Herb''' <span style="color:green">('''[[File:Dragon Warrior 3 TinyMedal.png]] TinyMedal / [[File:Dragon Warrior 3 SNES Small Medal.png]] Small Medal''')</span>, and finally '''320 gold'''.

[[../Enemies#Mimic|Mimics]] are especially dangerous, with their ability to cast Defeat. Although it's unlikely, they can potentially wipe out your entire party with one spell. The amount of experience and gold you obtain from these monsters is less than what you typically earn fighting less dangerous monsters in this dungeon, so choose wisely whether you wish to take these on or not. | ||

With the Mirror of Ra in hand, head back to Samanao. You'll need to find a way to use it on the supposed king. Even if you can sneak past the guards through the kitchen, you'll still need to find another way to access the king's bedroom. To do that, you'll need to climb the upper right tower, and jump off the left side to land on the roof of the first floor. Then sneak in through the bedroom windows, and approach the king. Use the Mirror of Ra while standing by the king, and he will transform into a monster. For your transgression, a Boss Troll will attack you. Though capable of powerful attacks, a single Boss Troll should not overwhelm you. Once you defeat it, peace will be restored to the kingdom. When control is returned to you, you will see a treasure chest above the bed.
