Pyramid Walkthrough

*	The basement of the pyramid will prevent any spells from being casted. Make sure that you don't step on the middle tiles with scales on the first floor so you don't fall below. If you do go down here to grab the treasures below, make sure you have party members with Abilities since they can still be used.
**	Another thing to be wary of are the Canniboxes disguised as treasure chests. If you have a Mage, use the Peep spell to check a chest's contents and avoid any unnecessary fights.
1	Climb the Pyramid and head to the third floor, where there'll be a large door in the center. As usual, make sure to grab any items and treasures on the way up.
2	To open the door, press the buttons 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 right-most button followed by the left most one.
3	Once the door's open, prepare yourself to face the Ripper of the Rift. It will be accompanied by 2 Kyllas so make sure to take them down first to stop them from supporting the Ripper. ▶ How to Beat Ripper of the Rift
4	After the boss has been defeated, grab the Magic Key and Banishing Bell from the treasure chests. Continue exploring the upper floors of the Pyramid and teleport back to Romaria when you're done. Just be careful of the room with a lot of chests since opening each one will initiate a fight.
*	Now that you have the Magic Key, you can backtrack to areas that have blue doors that you couldn't unlock before.
5	When you're ready, head west from Romaria and through the Romarian Outpost to get to Portoga.

Pyramid Strategy Guide

Grab the Magic Key from Pyramid 3F

The Pyramid carries one of the game's key items, the Magic Key, that allows the player to unlock Silver Doors all over the map.

Silver Doors often carry valuable treasure so picking this item up before leaving the Pyramid is important for your journey.

How to Get All Keys

Beware of Canniboxes

The Pyramid has a lot of loot and treasure in treasure chests. However, there is a lot of mimic Canniboxes around the dungeon, making it dangerous to carelessly pick up items.

Heal up between battles so that your party can be ready for the next ambush.
