Just a quick warning before beginning, this is far and away the most
obnoxious dungeon in the game. Be sure you're in a patient mood
before continuing.
Follow the path up and get the EX Gem Lv2, then cross the bridge and go down the ramp. Here you'll meet the small shadowy figures that you'll have to guide at the end. The frustrating thing is not collecting all the shadows, but the fact that they are stupid and will get stuck on virtually every corner unless you walk extremely slowly. Regardless after the scene, go into the door on the right. Part-way down the stairs one of the lights is illuminated making sort of a triangle of light in the wall. Examine this to go through it. When you do use the pedestal to change the function of your Sorcerer's Ring. Now grab the block that Lloyd automatically shot with the ring, and pull it out one panel. Now go back out. Return up the stairs to where you saw the first shadow. Walk through him to have him start following you. Now use your ring on the light just to the left of him to turn it off. Now you can pass this part, as well a the next block. Turn off the next light you reach and bring the shadow down. At the bottom of the path is another shadow and two more blocks. Shoot the block on the right, and push it into the wall. This will knock down a box with another shadow on it. Now shoot the left block with your ring and pull it out once. Go back up to the stairs that are heading down to the right, and descend them. At the bottom be sure to defeat the skull enemy because he holds the memory gem. When you reach the bottom of the stairs head left underneath them, turn off the light and go to the bottom. Here is where the block with the third shadow landed. Push it three panels to the right and then all the way up. The shadow will then walk off. Go up (hopefully the other two shadows are still following you) and make your way around to the shadow who just walked off the block. Now with three of them following you go right, turn off the light and descend down the large Southwestern path. As luck will have it at the bottom you can turn out the light and leave the three shadows here. You have to do it one at a time, make sure there are three separate scenes. Now you can leave the room and they will be here when you return. Save your game. Now go back up the large ramp. At the top on your left is where you crossed to get the third shadow off the box. Note that there is one of the move-able stone things facing out to the right making it so you can walk across. You need to push this all the way into the wall. Now go back to the save point and exit the room to the bottom right. Proceed up the stairs, grab the chest hidden under the large stairs to receive a Headband. Continue up to the top and go out the door. You'll notice if you pushed in the other slab that the one below you after you've gone through the door is now across making it so you can walk down, get the shadow here and grab the chest containing a Shadow Dancer. Guide the shadow back across, you will see a little scene of him crossing. Once you see that scene go back into the door on your right, head down the stairs to the light on the wall and enter it once again. You need to once again pull this stone slab out one panel. When you do go back up the stairs to where you left the shadow, he will be waiting on your side this time. Guide him along the path to the top, and do everything you did last time in order to make your way to the bottom. Save your game again and head out the door to the bottom right. Ascend the stairs and once again examine the light on the wall to enter it. For a third time pull this block out one panel and leave. Head up the up the stairs and out the door. By now you should know which block that one controls, it's the one just across the path to your left here, beside the main entrance to this room. This time instead of just walking past it, you need to grab it and push it all the way into the wall. Once you do that go back to the right and into the door. Head down the long stairs to the bottom exit and return through there, run up to the left and you should once again be at the save point. Head up the large ramp to the Northeast until you reach the light at the top. Go up a bit and to the right to find a treasure chest with an EX Gem Lv3. Now go back to the left. Head down under the blocked stairs past the light and across the slab that sticks out to the right down to the bottom here. This should be where you pushed the box with the third shadow. There's a path that leads all the way to the right that goes out from the bottom, run across it. Assuming you pushed the large stone slab all the way in near the entrance, this one should be out far enough for you to cross and get the fifth final shadow. Walk into him and have him follow you down to the other four, and save your game. Now grab all five of them and run to the North, then down to the right to a new area. Follow the path, when you come to the first split ignore it and continue forward. At the three way split take the bottom path, and grab the treasure containing an EX Gem Lv2 at the end. Now return to the three way split and go down the right path for a chest and an EX Gem Lv4. Return to the three way split and go up. The path now goes down a lot of stairs and pretty much one way for quite awhile. When you reach the broken save point unlock it and use it. Take the path to the left and go pretty much straight until the end. When you reach the end watch a scene and after all your hard work...
Being of the dark element, Raine's Photon and Ray spells are pretty effective against this guy. Luckily this boss isn't even a fraction as annoying as his dungeon is, he'll give you lots of chances to just sit there and combo him to your heart's content. Even if he hits you with a powerful attack he seems to be nice enough to wait until you have a chance to heal to make his next one. Unless you're low on items here I doubt you'll have any trouble. There's a scene here for you to watch, soon after you'll have control. Unfortunately the game deems it necessary to add insult to injury and have you manually run all the way out of the dungeon yourself, so do that first. Your next task is to head to the Linkite tree. The tree is in Sylvarent so return there for now. The tree can be rather hard to find, but the following makes it easy. From exactly where you appear after warping from Tethe'alla, do not move anywhere just turn your ship until it faces directly Northeast. Now fly forward for about 2-3 seconds. You will find yourself right on top of the Linkite Tree pretty much. On your map it's the little green bit surrounded by mountains on this continent. Now go in. |
