Asham to the Pyramid Walkthrough Guide

Asham (Recommended Level 15)

1 Listen to the villagers talk about the Magic Key.
2 Head southwest from Asham to Ibis.

Asham Map and Available Items

Night Shop in Ashalam

Ashalam Weapons Shop Opens at Night
There is an equipment shop on the north side of Asham that only opens at night. There are weapons for sale here that are usually not sold anywhere else so make sure to stop by.

Skip Discounted Items in Shops

The shop in the northwestern part of Asham sells items for an expensive price, even at a discount, so it's better to skip buying from here. As a note, there are strong armors for sale, such as the Magical Skirt, but you can get one from a chest inside the Pyramid that you will visit later on.

Ibis (Recommended Level 15)

1 Get anything you need from Ibis and head north towards the castle afterwards.
2 Listen to the people in the castle talk about the Pyramid's mechanisms and the Magic Key.
3 When you're ready, head north from Ibis to the Pyramid.

Ibis Map and Available Items

Get the Meteorite Bracelet

How to Get the Starry Bracelet
1 Without entering the castle, go left.
2 Go straight along the wall and open the treasure chest inside the basement.

You can get the Meteorite Bracelet accessory from the treasure chest in the basement of Ibis Castle. This accessory doubles the Agility of its wearer, making it great for any party member that needs to act first, like a Priest.

Obtain a Prayer Ring and a Ruby Wristband

Obtain a Wizard
Once you have the Magic Key, you can visit the Queen's chambers a night and follow her instructions to obtain a Prayer Ring and a Ruby Wristband. If you don't need the wristband, you can choose to sell it for 7,350 Gold instead.

Pyramid (Recommended Level 16 - 17)

1 Climb the Pyramid and head to the third floor, where there is a door in the center.
2
Open the door by pressing the switches in the order from the children's rhyme in Ibis Castle.

If you've missed this or don't want to figure it out yourself, then just press the buttons from left to right.
3 Obtain the Magic Key from the treasure chest inside the door. Once you're done exploring the Pyramid, teleport back to Romaria.
* Now that you have the Magic Key, you can backtrack to areas that have locked doors that you couldn't unlock before.
4 When you're ready, head west from Romaria to Portoga.

Pyramid Map and Strategy Guide

Prepare Healing Items Beforehand

We recommend that you prepare a large amount of Herbs before delving into the Pyramid. There are a lot of combat encounters where you will not be allowed to use spells so they will come in handy as a means of recovery.

Open Treasure Chests and Fight Enemies

There are a lot of chests on the 4th floor of the Pyramid, however, you'll be forced into a fight whenever you open one. They're still worth opening though since there are a lot of good rewards inside, like seeds and Mini Medals.
