Skip The Mimic Treasure Chest

If you open the treasure chest in the small room on the bottom left of the first floor, you will be forced to battle a Mimic. It will be difficult to defeat this alone, so it is best not to open it.

Use the Return Spell to Exit

Once you have collected the Blue Orb, use the spell Return to quickly escape. You need 8 MP to use this spell, so be careful not to run out of MP by using too much recovery magic.

Samanao (Recommended Level 27)

1 Head northwest from Romaly to the Romaly Checkpoint.
2 Enter the Traveler's Gate inside the basement door.
3 At the warp destination, enter the Traveler's Gate on the right of the three-way intersection.
4 Leave the shrine and head west to Samanao.
5 Gather information and properly equip yourself with weapons and armor.
6 Head southeast from Samanao to the Samanao Cave.

What Happens If You Enter the Castle's Back Door?

What Happens If You Enter the Castle
If you enter the back door on the right hand side of the castle and approach the King, you will be thrown into the dungeon. If you use the Final Key to escape from the cell, you will hear stories about the Lar Mirror and the Change Staff from the other prisoners.

Samanao Cave (Recommended Level 28)

1 Go through the cave and go down the stairs to the second basement floor.
2 Fall into the pit just below the stairs you came down.
3 Collect the Lar Mirror from the treasure chest you land on.
4 Escape with the Return spell to Samanao.
5 Enter Samanao Castle through the backdoor at night. You can switch to nighttime by using the Dark Lamp.
6 Enter the King's bedroom through the rooftop via the stairs in the upper right corner of the castle.
7 Use the Lar Mirror on the sleeping King to being the battle with a Boss Troll.
8 After the battle, obtain a Change Staff from the treasure chest.

Use X-Ray to Determine Mimic Chests

There are many spells on the second basement floor of Samanao Cave, but some of them are Mimics in disguise. If you use the X-Ray spell before opening them, it will help you determine if the chest before you is a Mimic.

Use the Change Staff First

Use the Change Staff first at Elvenham Village in order to access the item shop. Take caution in handing it over to the old man in Greenlad as giving it to him in exchange of a Pirate's Bone will no longer allow you to use the Change Staff.

3 Get the Red Orb from the treasure chest at the bottom of the stairs.

Trading the Change Staff Gets Rid of It

Exchanging your Change Staff for a Pirate's Bone will prevent you from using the staff again. Ensure you have completed all your purchases at the Elvenham item shop before giving away the Change Staff, as you won't be able to buy anything there afterward.

Phantom Ship (Recommended Level 28-29)

1 Use the Pirate's Bone and head to its indicated coordinates.
Tip: We recommend using the Pirate's Bone in Romalya.
2 Enter the Phantom Ship at the coordinates.
3 Obtain the LuvMemory Pendant from the treasure chest in the southern part of the lower deck.

Phantom Ship Map and Strategy Guide

Use the Pirate's Bone to Get Phantom Ship Coordinates

When you use the Pirate's Bone, coordinates will be displayed on the screen. If you head toward the indicated location, you will find the Phantom Ship. This ship is constantly moving, but it is closer to head to it from Romaly.
