List of Contents
| 1 | Head south from the Rocky Cave to Domdora. |
|---|---|
| 2 | Hear about Mercado and Oricon from the villagers. |
| 3 | Examine the bushes in the southeast stable to get Oricon. |
You can get Oricon by examining the bushes in the stables, which you will need to buy the King's Sword from Kol. The King's Sword has high attack power and is one of the strongest weapons in the game, so be sure to obtain it.
| 1 | From Domdora, head southeast to Mercado. Tip: Cross the southern bridge, head northeast, and after the second bridge. |
|---|---|
| 2 | Talk to the sage at the electrified temple to learn about the items you need to get to Zoma's Castle. |
You can get various books such as The Secret of Fiery Assault
and The Brain-Sweeping Book
from the bookshelf on the second floor of the hut on the west side. If you change the nature to Fiery Assault
, the growth of strength will improve, so we recommend using it as a physical firepower role.
| 1 | From Mercado, head south to the Spirit Shrine. Tip: Cross the northern bridge, take a detour around the west and head south. |
|---|---|
| 2 | Talk to the fairy on the second floor of the shrine to get the Rain Staff. |
| 1 | Return to Domdora and head east to Rimuldar. Tip: Cross the southeast bridge, go through the mountain area, then head north along the coast. |
|---|---|
| 2 | Hear stories from the villagers about the Light Orb, Zoma's Castle, the Rainbow Drop, Light Armor, and so on. |
| Secret Room Locations | |
|---|---|
 |
 |
In Rimuldar, there are rooms that can only be reached through secret passages and roundabout routes. Be sure to explore carefully as you can also obtain a Zen Scroll in this area which is necessary to change your job class intoa Sage, as well as important information about Zoma's Castle.
The area around Rimuldar is a great place to level up as DemonSwrds appear here. The battle with Zoma is coming soon, so make sure to farm as much experience points in this area to get to a higher level.
| 1 | Sail east from Rimuldar and head north to Kol. |
|---|---|
| 2 | Hear about the Rubiss tower and the King's Sword from the villagers. |
| 3 | Head to the item shop on the second floor of the southwest building. |
| 4 | Sell the Oricon at the item shop, go outside the town, and then return to the shop to buy the King's Sword that is now for sale. |
| 5 | Go down from the open-air bath and search the ground to get the Pixy Flute. |
The Pixy Flute can be obtained on the ground by the open-air baths. It will be used in Rubiss Tower, so it is recommended that you colelct it at this stage.
The King's Sword that is sold by selling Oricon in the item shop is the strongest weapon for the Hero job class. Do note that it will not be on sale until the item shop is restocked, which happens by exiting and re-entering the town.
| 1 | Take a boat from Kol and head northwest to Rubiss Tower. |
|---|---|
| 2 | Climb the stairs from the first floor to the third floor. |
| 3 | Jump from the top of the third floor. |
| 4 | Follow the path up the tower and head to the fifth floor. |
| 5 | Use the Pixy Flute in front of the stone statue in the center of the fifth floor to obtain the Crest. |
Rubiss Tower Map and Strategy Guide
On the special floor with a diamond pattern, pressing the up button on your directional pad will move you toward the white pattern. There are two types of patterns, both of which are like the directional pad rotated 90 degrees, so it's best to walk carefully as it can be confusing.
| 1 | Sail from the eastern part of Rimuldar and head south to the Sacred Shrine. |
|---|---|
| 2 | Present the Sun Stone, Rain Staff, and Crest to the priest to obtain a Rainbow Drop. |
| Item | Location | How to Get |
|---|---|---|
| Sun Stone | Tantegel Castle | A hidden room beneath the castle kitchen. |
| Rain Staff | Spirit Shrine | Talk to the fairy on the second floor. |
| Crest | Rubiss Tower | Use the Pixy Flute in front of the statue on the 5th floor. |
Collect the items Sun Stone, Rain Staff, and Crest from their respective locations before heading to the Sacred Shrine and present them to the priest to receive a Rainbow Drop.
Once you have obtained the Rainbow Drop from the Sacred Shrine, all that remains is the final battle with Zoma. In preparation, make sure you have equipment that can reduce damage from spells, and level up appropriately.
| 1 | Head northwest from Rimuldar and use the Rainbow Drop at the tip of the Island. |
|---|---|
| 2 | Using the Rainbow Drop will create a bridge. Follow the path leading to Zoma's Castle. |
| 3 | Go around from the left, right, and go through the large door in the center. Fight GrndTitans inside the room three times. |
| 4 | Examine the back of the throne in the center of the damaged floor to reveal a staircase. |
| 5 | Go down the stairs and follow the path to the bridge on the fourth basement floor and watch a cutscene. |
| 6 | Proceed forward and head to the altar on the fifth basement floor. Tip: Be sure to collect the treasure chests along the way to the fourth basement floor. |
| 7 | As you go further in, you will battle all of Zoma's henchmen: King Hydra, BaraBomus, and BaraGonus. |
| 8 | After defeating all three bosses, proceed to the end and defeat Zoma. |
| 9 | After the battle, exit the castle and head to Tantegel Castle. |
Zoma's Castle Map and Strategy Guide
To get to Zoma Castle, you need to use the Rainbow Drop at the tip of the island northwest of Rimuldar. Cast the spell StepGuard to safely pass through the Poisonous Swamp and reach Zoma Castle. Do note that upon reaching the castle, you will be met with 4 consecutive boss battles. So make sure you are prepared before doing this!
On the first floor, enter the central door to battle 2 GrndTitans three times. After that, if you examine the back of the throne beyond the open door, a hidden staircase leading to the basement will appear, allowing you to proceed further.
You can get through the rotating floor maze on the second basement floor by continuously pressing the up button on your controller. There are no treasure chests or items to collect, so press up from the left side of the passage to get through quickly.
