Talon
Welcome tothe Fontier
Prep Work: The Dragon Wings won't work here, so you can't fast travel. You'll also
find that magic doesn't work very well here - at least not Althena's. There also
aren't any shrines to Althena for obvious reasons. You can restore HP and MP at the
inn.
Talon Mine
There are two doors here, but both will eventually lead you all the way north to the
Inn, and then to the Mine. Head into the mine. This is a dungeon, so be prepared.
First Floor: There is an exit strait up and another one way off to the right. Go
right first and open the chest there for a Healing Nut . Continue along the path and
you'll emerge just to the left of the other door you could have gone through.
Second Floor: There is a chest with a Star Light which is only barely visible -
hiding behind a tower in the middle of this level. Grab it and then go up a couple of
sets of stairs. There is an exit to the upper left and across the bridge to the right
and up another set of stairs.
Head to the right exit and go to the next screen. Follow the path left and up,
then back to the right. Skip the first ladder, then take the second one leading up.
Open the chest here for another Protection Ring. Go back out the way you came in. You
should see another door to your right. That's a dead end you can ignore. Instead, go
left down the ladder, then left and down another ladder. Go through the door there
and head up to the right. There are two exits at the bottom here. Go through the
right one and grab the Silver Light from the chest there. Come back and take the
other exit to the left. Open the chest here for a Healing Nut . Head out the upper
right path to leave this area.
Third Floor: Talk to the miners here the take the upper left exit. Follow the path
until something happens, then head back to help. Talk to the first green guy. Watch
the cut scenes, fight a quick battle, then watch more cut scenes. When you have
control again, head up and right.
Forth Floor: Go up the ladder, then right and down a ladder, then right and up to
get the Silver Light from the chest. Go back up the ladder, but this time head down
to the next area with a Star Light in a chest. Return to the previous screen and go
back down the other ladder to the start of this area. Go right and under the path to
get to another room with a Hell Armlet in a chest. Have Jessica equip that, then
return to the area start. Go up and left from here to get the next area.
Fifth Floor: Go down the path and through a tunnel. Go down the ladder. I'm going
to call this spot the entrance to make the rest of this area easier to navigate. Head
right and up, then down another ladder to get to the chest with the Holy Robe . Have
Mia equip that. From there head right (don't go back up the ladder) and through the
door. There's a chest here with a Devil Pendant . Leave that room and come back under
the path and up the ladder. Head back down the path to the place I called the entrace
earlier, then take the lower left path. Head left to the next room and open the chest
there for another Refresher Ring. Make your way back to the entrance and this time
take the lower right path.
Go down the ladder, under a couple of paths, then out the lower-right doorway.
Open the chest there for an Angel's Tear , then head back to the prior screen and up
the ladder. Take the lower-left exit and open the chest for the Fire Tiara . Equip
that to Jessica, then return to the previous screen and take the upper left exit.
Head head up and right for a Healing Nut in a chest, then continue up and right to
reach the grave yard. Use the statue if you need (right - like you don't need it
massively at this time), then head out the exit at the top of the screen.
Save and heal up. Give Alex and Jessica the Refresh Ring and Refresher Ring (you
don't want them to get silenced.) I like to give everyone 2x Healing Nut , a single
Star Light , an Angel's Tear and a Holy Water. When you're ready, head out the exit at
the top of this short area. After some cut scenes and a mock battle (don't waste your
magic), you'll have another boss fight.
- Power up Kyle and Alex, then have them use powerful magic attacks.
- Mia: Use her most powerful magic attacks. Throw items as needed.
- Jessica: Start with Saint Litany if you have it, and have Jessica heal and use
items as needed. If there's nothing to do, have her defend rather than attack.
After the battle is over, head out the left door and up to get to the world map.
Appraoch the fortress, watch the dialog, leave the fortress and head right to the
weird green egg thing. Go through the doorway and follow the path to the egg. Enter
the egg and look at things, then make your way deeper in. You'll learn how to enter
The City of Ruid.
