Tedanki Map and Available Items

Use the Dark Lamp in Tedanki Village

You can only meet the villagers of Tedanki Village at night. However, if you happen to visit them during the day, you can always change the setting to night by using the Dark Lamp that you find on the second floor of the equipment store.

Obtain the Green Orb With the Final Key

In Tedanki Village, there is a jail cell you cannot enter unless you have the Final Key. To obtain the Green Orb, you must speak with the prisoner inside, making it crucial to have the Final Key.

Lancel (Recommended Level 23)

1	Talk to the villagers in Lancel and learn more about how to get the Final Key.
2	Purchase a Hide Herb from the item shop in Lancel.
3	From Portoga, sail north to Edinbear.

Hide Herb is Required to Enter Edinbear

Purchase a Hide Herb for 300G from Lancel's item shop. You will need this to enter Edinbear as they do not allow low-class visitors from entering the premises.

Edinbear (Recommended Level 23)

1	Use the Hide Herb at the entrance to enter Edinbear Castle.
2	Go down the basement of Edinbear Castle and solve the rock puzzle.
3	Get the Dry Vase from the treasure chest at the back.
4	Sail south from Aliahan to the Shallow Shrine.

Edinbear Rock Puzzle Guide

Edinbear Rock Puzzle Solution

By solving the rock puzzle in the basement, a secret passagewa will open where you can obtain the Dry Vase. Even if you fail along the way, you can reset the puzzle anytime by leaving the room.

Shallow Shrine (Recommended Level 23)

1	Use the Dry Vase at the shoals to reveal a shrine.
2	Enter the shrine and get the Final Key from the treasure chest.
3	Listen to the story of the Giaga Pit from the skeleton at the back.

Use the Dry Vase at the Shoals

If you sail from Aliahan and head directly south, you will find shoals bunched together in the middle of the ocean. Dock your ship next to it and use the Dry Vase to make the shrine appear.

The Final Key Opens All Doors

Once you obtain the Final Key, you will be able to open all the doors around the world. You can use this item to unlock all previously locked areas and collect items from places you were unable to open - including the jail cell in Tedanki Village to get the Green Orb.

Soo (Recommended Level 23)

1	Hear stories from the villagers about Greenland and the Echo Flute.
2	Head to Zipangu, located northwest from Portoga.

If you search around the well in the center of Soo, you can get the Bolt Wand. This can be used in battle to cast the spell Firebane.

Zipangu (Recommended Level 23)

1	Talk to the villagers and learn about the Orochi terrorizing the townsfolk.
2	Head to the Zipangu Cave located northeast of Zipangu.

Rest at the Traveler's Inn Instead

There is no Inn in Zipangu, so if you are in need of an inn's services, the closest you may stay in is at the Traveler's Inn northwest from the town.

Zipangu Cave - Purple Orb (Recommended Level 24 - 25)

1	Continue through the cave and head to the very end of the second basement floor.
