Kidnapper’s Cave Walkthrough (Recommended Level 18)

1 Recruit Lecter the Cannibox
Make your way to the second floor, grabbing items and the friendly Cannibox on the way. The layout of the first floor can be confusing so make sure you're constantly checking the map!
2 Kidnapper
Once you reach the hideout, some Robbin’ ’Oodlums ask if you would like to join them. Answer "No" to start combat.

Unlike their first encounter in Kidnapper's Cave, they now have access to Kasap and Midheal so make sure to preserve your HP and MP.
3 After the battle, activate the switch at the bottom left of the map to free Tanaya and Gopal.
4 Robbin Ood Kidnapper
When you're ready, head back to the hideout to start the second boss fight with Robbin’ ’Ood. Like last time, deal with the lackeys first to stop them from spamming Kasap and healing.
▶ How to Beat Robbin’ ’Ood (Cave)
5 Once you've beaten them a second time, leave the cave and head back to Baharata.
6 Talk to Gopal inside the spice shop, but he will inform you that they've run out of Black Pepper. To get some, you'll need to talk to the merchant in the Alltrades Abbey further north.
8 Travel to the Alltrades Abbey
When you're ready, head north past the Kidnapper's Cave to reach the Alltrades Abbey.
