The Gulgan thus prophesied: "The earthquake was only the beginning. The great tremors that swallowed the crystals, the light of our world, only to spawn monsters from the depths of the scarred land, are nothing but harbingers of what has yet to come. Something is coming...fathomless, ominous, and full of sorrow... But hope is not yet lost. Four souls will be blessed with light, and so it shall begin..." - Prologue, Instruction Booklet

Tavern: ======= When ready, go to the tavern at the north part of town. When you enter, some events will occur, so watch them. Feeling his pain, Arc sticks up for Prince Alus. Defeat the bullies and watch the scene.

NOTE: Geomancers have a 40% chance to use Shadowflare in this battle. The only only other place that gives this % chance is Eureka. If you want to see just a small taste of the Geomancer's power, use one for this fight!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ With Alus in your party, go talk to the orange old guy at the southwest part of town. He will give you a [WIND SPEAR]. And the other orange old guy, on the small island in the middle of town, will give you a [DRAGON MAIL]. If you don't get these items now, you will lose your chance to get them at a later time, because Alus leaves your party soon. Thanks old guys! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

=======x=============== ================ Saronia, SE District Dragon Spire ====================== ================

Dragon Spire ........Open Chocobo Ride.........Open In this district there is actually something worth doing! Near the middle of town you will find the Dragon Spire. NOTE: The 2 wooden doors on the outside of the Spire have no purpose.

Climb this tower to find some nice treasure. Of course, you'll have to fight some monsters on the way up, but they aren't that tough.

At the very top you'll find three [DRAGON MAIL], three [THUNDER SPEAR], two [PHOENIX DOWN], and four [DRAGON HELM]. Now your Dragoon is complete! If you've gotten everything so far, your team is ready to fight the next boss.

There are some chocobos in the northeast part of town. If you want to ride one back to Saronia Castle, you can, though it's not very far...

I've been meaning to change Arc into a Dark Knight since the Water Crystal, but there wasn't any time because of Garuda. Even though I'm Job level 1 as a Dark Knight, it's still pretty strong, dealing 1000+ damage to all foes with Souleater. (I just tested it, hehe) Also, I'm finally retiring Ingus as a Red Mage. Since we have access to much better White Magic spells, he will be a White Mage from now on. Refia is doing awesome as a Geomancer, and her Terrain ability is doing TONS of damage. I love it! Luneth has 3 new elemental Rods for casting zero MP magic, so he is having fun, too! :P ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For defeating Doga and Unei, you will receive the [EUREKA KEY]. Watch the very nice scene to learn about the light within each of the main characters. Then, Unei will give you the [SYRCUS KEY]. After all the scenes are over go back to the Nautilus. To proceed with the story, go and get the Invincible.

Here is something to raise your spirits; The Target HP values DO NOT include any HP Gain Bonuses, at all. So if you do receive a Bonus at level up, be it small or large, you'll have a huge advantage!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Worried that you won't be able to make it? Check the following chart to see if you can still get Max HP. If you have LESS then the Required HP, for your current level, you will NEVER be able to get 9999 HP.
