Reza
Entering Reza
When you first get here, head to the center of town to trigger an event. You will
temporarily lose the ability to fast travel. Head through the doors at the top of the
screen to enter the pub. Talk to the bar keep and learn you need to join the Thieves
Guild. Before leaving town, find the weapon and armor shops to the right of the town
center. Good upgrades:
- Alex: Samurai Sword
- Nash: Ethereal Cane , Sorcerer's Robe
- Mia: Ethereal Cane , Sorcerer's Robe , Silver Armlet
- Kyle:
- Jessica: Flail (if you didn't get the Ice Mace earlier), Purity Clothes , Silver Armlet
Leave town and head south through the pass just down from the town. If you haven't
visitied Iluk yet, head west and pop in so you can fast travel there later. To
continue the plot, head east and north. You should see a small shrine looking thing
to the east just before you get to the Meryod Woods. That's a hot springs. If you've
bought a bunch of soaps earlier, you can head there and use two bars of soap to watch
two cut scenes.
Meryod
The Meryod Woods are just up and left from the hot springs. Make your way through the
woods. When you reach the north exit, continue north and east to the town of Meryod.
Heal at the statue, then head right over the bridge. After a quick cut scene, you'll
need to find your party one at a time. Wander around the town picking folks up. Head
up, left, and down to get Nash. From there, head down, left, and up to find Jessica.
You can head left, then up, then right to acquire Mia. Straight up from there you'll
find the pub. Pick up Kyle and the Old Notebook . If this is your first visit to
Meryod, visit the weapon, armor, and item shops before heading out of town the same
way you came in.
Head south through the woods, but make sure Kyle is fully healed up and has one or
more Healing Nut items before you get to the southern exit. When you get into a boss
battle, have Kyle cast Power Up, then repeatedly cast Power Slash. If you drop below
50 HP, use a Healing Nut . When you leave the woods, head south and you should see the
spire.
Damon Spire
If you've used a lot of magic or items on the way here, you can head west to Iluk and
heal at the shrine, and you can back track to Reza to pick up any items you might
need. This area has enemies which are resistant to physical damage, so you may find
having a bunch of spare Star Light could be helpful. Head to the spire and go through
the doors. After a bit of a cut scene, you'll be allowed entrance.
First Floor: While there are a variety of treasure chests on this floor, they are
all empty. The first floor of the spire is relatively easy to clear. You just need to
step on all the red squares, then try to open the door in the lower left corner of
this map. From the entrance head right, stepping on any red boxes you can. Head up
the right side stepping on all the boxes as you go. When you've done all on the right
side, head back down and go left to the center area. Step on the read squares in the
center area, then do that on the left side as well. The door at the bottom left of
the screen won't appear to open, but you can approach them to trigger a cut scene.
Have Mia answer the question, then head up to the second floor.
Second Floor: Similar to above, step on the red squares to open the various doors.
These enemies may drop a Star Light , and the chests on this level may have them as
well. The exit door is in the upper right corner of this level. Let Nash answer this
one.
Third Floor: Similar to the above. Red squares, chests for Star Light . The Rufus
enemies on this level are immune to magic and regular attacks, but magic attacks like
Alex's Sword Dance or Flash Cut or Kyle's Power Sweep work. There's a chest in the
lower-right with Sage's Clothes for Jessica. The exit at the top requies a healing
spell, so have Jessica heal him. There are two Star Light items here.
Fourth Floor: These enemies can be hurt with physical attacks. In fact for my
team, I just had everyone attack and it took them out without any issues. There's a
chest in the upper left with a Spirt Bandana for Nash, a Star Light in the upper
right, and an Ice Pendant in the lower right. The exit is in the lower middle, and
you have to let the dude know that no one was unimportant.
Fifth Floor: Same kind of thing. Step on red squares, make your way around until
Damon asks you to sculpt something. Alex should do the sculpting. There are no
eneimes or chests on this level.
Top of the tower: You'll get the Theives' Guide from Damon, and he'll unlock all
the bookshelves. You can now backtrack through the tower and read all the bookshelves
you couldn't before. Or you can use a Dragonfly Wing or Jessica's magic to exit the
tower. Return to the city of Reza.
Next steps
In Reza talk to the bar tender again. You'll give the Thieves' Guide and receive the
Theives' Crest. Head behind the bar and take the upper passage on the next screen.
Talk to the girl here several times, then go up again, then left, and down. Talk to
the guy in the upper right to get your dragon wings back. You'll also get another
soap. Talk to him again to find weapons you can buy. You can also buy armor from
another guy here, Recommended equipment:
- Alex: Ice Blade
- Nash: Intelligent Robe , Stone Bow
- Mia: Crystal Armlet , Ice Cane
- Jessica: Crystal Armlet , Ice Mace (if you didn't get it before)
When you're done buying equipment, leave and watch the cut scene. Go back to the
thieves bazaar. Talk to the guy on the far left to obtain the Balloon Blueprint . Go
back the way you came and head to the center of town. Since you now have the Thieves'
Crest, you can open all those orange (red?) chests you couldn't obtain before. Here's
a quick guide to grabbing them before moving on. I recommend grabbing chest 12 first,
since you're here and all...Chest 1: Berg - The first building on your right as you enter town is the mayor's
house. Go upstairs to Ramus' room and open this chest for the Garbage Can Lid .
Chest 2: Weird Woods (west of Berg) - Head up and left from the clearing where you
first met Laike to obtain the Wrath Ring .
Chest 3: Old Hag's House - Head west of Berg and North of Saith, through the woods
to the house where you got the Sea Chart before. In the basement you'll find a chest
with a Silver Light .
Chest 4: Saith - Head to the house in the lower left corner of the city screen and
go upstairs to find the Protect Ring .
Chest 5: Meribia - Head to Ramus' store, then look for the house just below that
on the city map. Inside the middle door you should find 1000 Silver in the upper
right room.
Chest 6: Meriba Sewers - Go through Mel's palace and head to the sewers. Go
through the left door and down to the next door. Go through that, then through the
door on the right. Pick up the Star Light and Fortune Ring if you missed them before,
then open the locked chest for a Silver Light .
Chest 7: Vane Cave of Trials - Teleport to Vane and wander through the passage
until you got the locked chest with Soap. Warp out of the dungeon and then use the
teleporter to go back to Vane for the next chest.
Chest 8: Vane - Go south from the statue of Althena and look for a tiny piece of
the chest peaking out to your left. Open that for the Devil Pendant .
Chest 9: Nanza - Head to the basement via the tower in the center of town, then go
down to the bedroom and look in the lower-left corner for the Crystal Pendant .
Chest 10: Nanza Pass - Head south from Nanza and take a right at the first fork.
Head up to find the chest with a Silver Light .
Chest 11: Lann - Head up and left from the entrance to town. Left of the bucket
with fish you can go behind a house and open the chest for a Silver Light .
Chest 12: Reza - Head to the town center and search the far left of the screen for
the Silver Light .
Chest 13: Meryod Wood - Enter from the Meryod side of town and follow the path
down, left, then up. The chest with the second Fortune Ring is hiding behind a tree
in a clearing.
Chest 14: Meryod - Head to the lower left corner of the city map and find a chest
hidden partially behind a house. Get the Silver Light .
When you're ready to advance the plot, head to Iluk
