With the Elder's Staff you are allowed to pass. Watch the scene then
head up to grab the treasure box containing an EX Gem Lv4. Head
down the next path and change the function of your Sorcerer's Ring.
Now go right and curve up with the path and get the chest with Rare
Pellets. Up the hill you have to stand in front of the flower, and time
your use of the Sorcerer's Ring in order to be carried across to the
other side.
Now head up the path to the tree. Examine it and take a Kirima fruit. You can take up to twenty, and you will need a bunch so if you have the patience take as many as you can. Return down and examine the dead flower. Use a Kirima fruit to revive it and have it blow you to the other side. Now head down and follow the path around and across the bridge. In this section, take the lower path (but not up the hill) at the fork and pick up the EX Gem Lv3. Continue up the hill to the South and go left for a treasure containing an EX Gem Lv3. Now head to the right up the hill and down the hill to the North. There is a dead flower here, give it a Kirima fruit to revive it. Now double back to the other flower right at the top where you came up the hill from the ground. Use your ring and have it blow you across. The flower you revived should send you diagonally onto the next hill. Follow the path up to a new tree with purple fruit. Grab as many Amango fruit as you can, and proceed North to the next section of the map. Follow this path up, and grab the treasure chest hidden by the hill (near the dead flower) on the left for an EX Gem Lv4. Just up and left from the chest is a dead flower, use a Kirima fruit to revive it. Now go back to the right and make your way up the hill. Revive the dead flower here as well. There's another living flower just South of this one, allow it to blow you across to the left. When you reach the other side head up immediately and ride the wind of this flower to the upper left where it takes you. Grab the treasure here containing Flare Greaves, then go around to the right, open the chest for a Toroid, and head up to revive the dead flower here. Now ride the lower left one back to the other side. There is a much larger blue flower here, ride it to the next map. Ahead of you is a five way split. Go up the hill to the Southeast and ride this flower across to the upper left. Examine the flower on the right of this ledge and give it an Amango. It will wilt, then ride the flower on the left across to the South. Return to the point where the paths split ad once again go up the same hill to the Southeast. This time instead of riding the flower, give it an Amango to wilt it. Now from the split path go straight down and up the hill to the left. Examine the flower on the right and give it a Kirima fruit to revive it. Now that the other two flowers are wilted you can ride this across without being pushed to the side. Ride it across. When you land go up the path and revive the flower on the landing with a Kirima fruit. Go up the hill to the left and ride the wind of that flower to the next section of the map. Now you should find yourself on the ledge of a cliff. There's only one flower to ride here so ride it. Go up the path to the top where you'll find two flowers. Ride the wind of the blue one to the right into the next section. Ride the only flower you can when you land. Landing again, revive the dead flower just in front of you, then be carried along to the left by the other one. Be sure to revive this flower before proceeding into the cave, then enter. Be warned the treasure box that lies in front of you is another Fake.
Nothing has changed since the last two times really except his Hp total. He is still impervious to physical attacks, so Genis' is your main man for this fight. If Genis has explosion then it's all you need. With a single hit it'll probably do around 1500 damage, so it won't take long to go down, especially with Raine supporting with Photon/Ray. Your job as Lloyd is to pretty much hold the block button and force it to attack you, not your magic users. When the battle ends you will receive an Elixir. Go up the path on your left and head right at the top. Proceed up the slope here and defeat the goo enemy at the top, he holds the memory gem. Go left and up the path to a chest at the top containing a Draupnir. Return back down to the path above the fake treasure box and take the fork to the left. There's a fork at the end here too, if you're out of Kirima fruit head up to the tree. Either way go down and out of the cave afterward. Revive the flower on this cliff ledge. Then after landing take the blue flower. Now you'll land on another ledge, assuming you've revived all the plants you were supposed to up to this point, riding this flower will take you up to a path at the top. On your left will be a dead flower you should ignore, on your right will be a path North to the next section. Go towards the North path, watch a scene and proceed up. Follow the path all the way along until you find a dead flower. Revive it but do not ride the wind, instead cross the bridge and revive the flower on that side as well. Go back across to the right and ride the first one. A boulder will drop and you'll be on the bridge again. GO left, save, and enter the house. Inside you will find the Storyteller. Before speaking to anyone, go to the back left of the house and examine the big bunny. The Wonder Chef will appear and teach you how to make Pescatore. Now speak to the storyteller. Watch a scene then save your game again. Head down the Southeast path and get the chest containing a Battle Pick. Then head down the Southwest path. After a quick scene, ride the flower across into the cave (the cave only appears if you knocked down the boulder, be sure you did.) Now go inside. As you approach the flower an event will occur. Once the conversation ends...
This is a pretty stationary boss, and also a large one. If you're good at racking up combos you should have a field day with this boss. While he can get a few hits in here and there with his flailing tentacles, he's far too susceptible to tech attacks to get any of those dangerous hits in very often. All this not to mention that Genis' Explosion spell will absolutely devastate him. Even if you haven't learned it yet, Raging Mist is just as good. Turn off all Genis' spells but Raging Mist and throw the best combos you have at him, and you're looking at a 2 - 3 minute fight. After the battle there will be a scene and you will receive the Mana Leaf Herb you've been waiting so long for. Now save your game and return to speak wit the Storyteller. There will be an event, then you will be automatically teleported to the bottom of the mountain. Leave for the world map. Head now to SE Abbey. The Abbey is on the small island at the bottom right of the map, just Southeast of the Toize Valley Mine. |
