Unequip everyone. Get on the boat. You're off to Baron. After a short while, Leviathan shows up. (A little information tidbit: Leviathan is, in the Real World, not in the game, one of the four princes of Hell, along with Satan, Lucifer, and Belial; interesting, isn't it?) The crew is running around like a bunch of idiots, and the Captain finally gets a hold of his sanity enough to tell them to settle down. They don't listen. You wake up alone, right next to the town of Mysidia.  Go in the town. All of the people have rude things to say to you, and a few will work there magic on you. Go in the temple-like thing in the center of the town. Talk to the dude in black. He also tells these two little kids to go with you, and they go by the names Palom and Porom. Go equip them with armor. Get the Flame rod and Cure staff for now, but before you go to Mt. Ordeals, equip them with CrossBows and White Arrows, because everybody on the Mountain is weak against arrows or sacred power. I highly recommend staying around the town to get their levels up. When you are ready, go to Mt. Ordeals. All you have to do is follow the land-path
