| 1 | ![]() After leaving Cannock, head to Gwaelin’s Gate to the west. The gate will be flooded, preventing you from proceeding. The only way to pass is by using a Bottomless Pot, which you can obtain later in the Cave of the Lake. |
|---|---|
| 2 | ![]() Go to the Cave of the Lake, located northwest of Leftwyne. |
| * | Watch out for Bubble Slimes and Cobra Kings in the area. These enemies can poison you, so make sure to bring a couple of Antidotal Herbs before exploring the Cave of the Lake. Once the Prince of Cannock reaches Level 6, he can use Squelch to cure poison. ▶ EXP Farm: How to Level Up Fast |
| 3 | ![]() Navigate the first floor to reach B2F. Feel free to explore the area first, as you can find weapons and money here, such as the Chain Sickle, which is a good upgrade from your Copper Sword. |
| 4 | ![]() On the next floor, reach the healing tile in the middle before proceeding further. A boss battle is up ahead, and it’s recommended to train up to Level 10 before challenging it. You can train around this tile to keep healing after every battle. |
| 5 | ![]() Once you’re ready, go ahead and challenge Abra and Cadabra. A good strategy is to focus on Cadabra first, as it can heal itself. After that, take on Abra and use Flying Knee to deal more damage. Once both are defeated, you’ll get the Bottomless Pot. |
| 1 |
![]() Head back to Gwaelin’s Gate and pass through it to finally continue your journey to Moonbrooke. You can make a stop on the left at Gwaelin’s Gate Island to get a Seed of Defense, but that’s completely optional. Exit the gate and go south to Moonahan. |
|---|
| 1 | ![]() Talk to the soldier northwest of the island. Exit Moonahan afterward and proceed to Moonbrooke. |
|---|
| 1 | ![]() Head to the courtyard in the middle. You can explore some of the areas to get a few items here, such as the Undead Undoer Scroll found at the top near a ghost. ▶ List of All Scrolls and Locations |
|---|
| 1 | ![]() Head to the Swamp Shrine to get Ra's Mirror. You can find this place east of Moonbrooke. |
|---|---|
| * |
![]() Make sure to have a Chimaera Wing for easy fast travel, as the Swamp Shrine is quite far from Moonahan, the next location you need to visit. |
| 2 |
![]() Head back to Moonahan and find the dog north of town. Talk to it and use Ra's Mirror to reveal the Princess of Moonbrooke. |
| 3 |
![]() Head outside the inn and talk to the Prince of Cannock. After the cutscene, the Princess of Moonbrooke will finally join your party. |
| 4 |
![]() With Zoom now available, fast travel to Midenhall, Cannock, and Moonbrooke. Get the Mark of Midenhall, the Mark of Cannock, and the Thief's Key from these locations, respectively. |

| Level 10 |
Abra and Cadabra are the bosses of this chapter. Abra relies on brute force, while Cadabra serves as its support with moves such as Heal, Fizzle, and Kasap.
It’s recommended to focus all your attacks on Cadabra first to prevent it from healing itself and Abra. Abra can be defeated easily with Flying Knee afterward since it’s an airborne enemy.
