Head a bit forward to trigger a scene. Head up the stairs for a new screen. West of here is a chest containing “Speed Bottle x3.” Head up the stairs and east for a scene. Use the Round Hook and Rope to lower down to a chest containing “Protect Orb.” Now, head into the cave.

West of here is a chest containing “Heal Stew x5.” Now head northeast for a new screen. Head southeast for a new screen. Straight forward path, follow the map to a new screen. Another straight forward path, follow the map to a new screen.

When you look at the map, there are two north routes, take the left one and hug the left wall while doing so to enter a secret passage leading to a chest containing “Strength Drop x2.” Now take the second north route, but go southeast from here while hugging the wall to enter a secret passage close to the chest containing “Mana Stew x5.”

Pretty straight forward path after this. Take the “Recovery Stone x3” from the chest in the northeast while heading to a new screen.

Left of here is a Hook. Use the Rope and Hook item to drop down. Here there are chests containing the items “Final Strike Orb,” and “HP Drop x3.” Now climb back up the rope.

Go all the way east then south all the way  for a chest containing “Burst Cookie x4.” Now head north into the cave for a new screen. Pretty straight forward, just use the map here. On the new screen, use the Healing Fount to heal and prepare for a boss battle on the next screen.

Strategy:  Same as before, high speed and attack but low defense.

Lower his parameters and use Hominid weak skills to finish him off.

Again watch out for his Paralysis Storm.

After the battle enter the cave to the right for a chest containing “Square Hook and Rope.” It’s a key item so it can only be used on a specific plate, which is outside this cave. Use it there and proceed down. Head south for a new screen.

There are three chests here. Three are directly east of here which are “Lazy Bones x4,” “Guiding Feather x3,” and “Mana Stew x4.” From where you found “Guiding Feather x3” hug the right wall to a new area to a chest containing “Emergency Shield x4.” Now head southeast for a new screen.

Go north up the stairs and east all the way past the bridge (there is a silver plate in between the bridge which leads to a treasure containing “Boost Piton”), then south until you enter a cave.

Go north up the stairs and hug the left wall to enter a secret passage to a chest containing “Repel Orb.” There is a silver plate here, which leads to a chest containing “Resurrect Pie x2.” Head north to the next screen. Head all the way north, heal up and prepare for a boss battle inside the cave.

Strategy:  Holy, this guy is in a bad mood lol.

He will always use Mass Stamp on the first turn so say bye-bye to your first turn in this battle.

Lower all his parameters ASAP. Buff your defenses and speed to 2 ranks to get a better upper hand in this battle.

Dancing Warblade 2, Heal 2 and 3 Step Cut are your friends in this battle. Use healing items to get a better advantage on the battle.

There is no oh-so-convenient-return-to-entrance-sheep here so you might have to use a Guiding Feather. On exiting the dungeon you are greeted with a scene. Go to the indicated area on the Map.
