INTRODUCTION

In a dark castle, three spheres of energy arrive and some time later they leave. Soon after, a fourth sphere arrives; It’s Erin. She speaks to Arek, who asks who, in her opinion, should rule the world: humans or sinistrals. Erin responds that she has no doubt that they, the sinistrals, must rule, and Arek says that the day of judgment for the Dual Blade is approaching. Erin asks if the Dual Blade is ringing yet, and Arek says she should go now.

ELCID

Maxim, a monster hunter, arrives to sell his kill at Tia’s shop. She says she can’t pay a higher price, as the number of monsters is increasing and, instead of 180, you only get 120 G. Maxim says it would be worse if there were no monsters, as he would lose his job. Tia asks if he couldn’t choose another profession, like a store owner. Maxim laughs and Tia gets angry. Go out and talk to everyone in the city, try to leave it from the south and an old man says he wants to meet you in a cave south of here; head there.

SECRET SKILL CAVE

Talk to the old man to learn the basics of Lufia II’s gameplay system. Firstly, there are no random battles here, the enemies are visible and to fight you have to tap on them. Enemies only move when you move. Fight the Jelly, after detonating it, go to the next room. Here, the old man explains how to use the tools; At the moment, you only have the arrows, but you will pick up others as the game progresses. Arrows can paralyze an enemy for a period of time, allowing you to get close enough to engage them. To use them, press Y. Detonate some more Jellys and go to the next room. Here there is a broken bridge and the door to the northeast is locked. The old man says that arrows are also used to activate mechanisms from a distance; then use them on the lever on the other side to make a bridge appear. Cross it and go through two doors in a row.

There’s a locked door here. After the conversation, step on the button in the middle of the brick floor and the door opens, but if you leave, it closes again. Talk to the old man and he says to push the pillar towards the button. Get close and hold A to push him. Place it on top of the button and go through the door, but first, the old man will give you the “Reset” spell, which is used to restore things in the room to their original state. Use it when you get stuck on a puzzle, and believe me there are many in the game. Well, in the next room, simply fall to the location with the arrow keys and climb the ladder to reach the next door. In this room, the old man says that to open the next door you must kill all the monsters. So do that and move forward to a place full of weeds. The old man says to use your sword with the B button and cut the bush; sometimes there are things hidden beneath it, which is not the case here. What you should find is a hidden button to open the next door and reach a place with a vase and two white buttons on the floor. Pick up the vase with the A button, hold R and use the directional pad to change direction without moving. Place the vase on the right button to open the wall. Now, take the other vase and place it on the other button to open the door. Move forward until the old man says the training is over. Exit the cave and return to Elcid.

ELCID

Go to the Shop and talk to Tia. She invites Maxim to dinner and serves him some Phantom Fish, which turns out to be inedible. But Maxim solves the problem by adding a little lemon. Tia asks why Maxim is always fighting monsters, because no one else does that. He says he’s been fighting for as long as he’s been around and he’s never asked himself why. After dinner, he would go out and walk around a bit. A guy arrives and says that a bunch of monsters invaded the cave to the north and won’t let anyone pass. He talks to the old man and he asks Maxim to take care of it. Before you go, I advise you to buy some potions from Tia. Head north to the cave.

CAVE TO SUNDLETON

Talk to the pink-haired man, who says that a strange woman entered the cave and he couldn’t do anything to stop it. Go forward, enter the upper right door, eliminate the monsters, take a vase and place it a little after the button that lowers the spikes, but not on top of it. Then take the other vase, go close to the first one, turn it around and place it on the button. Pick up another vase and place it on the button behind the spikes to open the door. Follow it and get a Life Potion from the chest. Go back and go through the door on the right, cut the bush to get an Escape, go back two screens and cut the bush to reveal a button. Step on it and go through the door to the south.

Cut the bushes near the wall on the left and go through the secret passage to get an Antidote. Go through the next door. In this room, cut through all the bush to reveal two buds, place the vases on top of them and go through the door on the left. Push the rocks to clear the path to the stairs, go down it and get a Power Potion from the southernmost chest. Use an arrow on the red button to make a bridge appear, fall to the location with the arrow and cross the bridge to another staircase. You will see three symbols on the ground; they are HP, MP and Save Point rechargers. Recover, save and climb the next ladder to face the first boss of the game.

BOSS: Lizard Man

He only uses physical attacks. Obviously, you have no other option than the normal attack. Attack him and heal yourself with items whenever his HP drops below 15. When you defeat him, you gain the Key of the Door.

Maxim wonders how the Lizard Men got so smart as to steal the key. Then, a woman appears and says that a huge force is responsible for the change in the monsters and that Maxim is destined to face this force. He must go on a journey to find others who also share this destiny. Before going, she introduces herself as Iris and says they will meet again. She leaves the cave and returns to Elcid just to buy the Strong and Poison spells. If he has any money left over, he buys new equipment from Tia. Go back to the cave, enter the next room and go through the upper left door. Use the key to open the door and exit on the other side, head to the village of Sundletan just to the north and when you enter, an earthquake will occur. Talk to the villagers to discover that there is a monster causing the earthquakes; he is in the cave to the north. Head there.

LAKE CAVE

Shoot an arrow at the lever to make the water rise, use the planks to form a bridge and go to the next room. Go through the left door, notice that there is a part where the floor is cracked, leave it for now and enter the next door. Head to the southernmost door and get a Power Potion from the chest. Go back and go through the door to the north of this one, push the top pillar to the west to open the door to the south. Follow it and push the lower right stone to reveal a staircase. You will see rocks forming a downward arrow; you must form an upward arrow to open the next door. See the scheme:

12345
 678
  9

Push rocks 1 and 5 down once, then push rock 9 on top of rock 3. Go in and get the Lake Key from the chest. Go back to the pillar room and push the bottom pillar to the north to open the door on the right. Follow it and, when you enter the next door, there is a line of monsters; you will have to eliminate them all to get the Speed ​​Ring in the chest. Be careful with the Eagles, they have thick skin. Go back and go to the end of the hallway on the right and go through the wall on the left to get a Miracle from the chest.

Now, go all the way back to the place with the cracked floor. Don’t step on it now. Continue forward and, in the next room, go through the door on the right. The door to the south leads to HP and MP rechargers if you need them. Eliminate all the monsters and three more will appear behind the spikes. You must hit them in the correct order to open the door to the north. Unfortunately, this order changes from game to game, so if you make a mistake, use Reset and try again until you get it right. Now, go forward to a chest containing an Insect Crush. Now, go back to the cracked floor and step on the crack below the one in the middle-north to fall onto a button that opens the door on the right; the one on the left has a save point. In the next room, use three planks to form a bridge to the lever. Take the fourth plank and throw it into the water. Activate the lever, go down the ladder and use the board to reach the other ladder. Go forward and open the next door with Lake Key. Get ready for the boss.

BOSS: Big Catfish

In addition to the physical attack, he uses Mega Quake, which deals around 20 HP of damage. Just like the previous boss, you don’t have many options. Attack normally and heal whenever your HP drops below 20. It’s not difficult at all.

The monster apologizes and says he will sleep at the bottom of the lake and won’t disturb anyone again. He leaves the cave and returns to Sundletan. Buy new equipment and Droplet magic. Talk to the blue-haired man near the entrance, who says that a girl was here looking for him and went to the Lake Cave. Head there and go to the place with the spikes. You will find Tia being attacked by monsters. Finish them off, and she says she came after Maxim because she felt he was going on a big trip. Maxim explains the whole story and Tia says she will accompany him. Maxim hesitates, but when he sees that she is unyielding, he ends up accepting and Tia joins the group. Return to Sundletan and buy new equipment for Tia. If possible, buy the Droplet and Poison spells. Head to the building to the northwest and exit the other side. Now, head south to a large tree. Enter it and talk to the woman to get “Capsule Monster” from her first, Jelzy. More details about capsule monsters will be explained in a separate topic. Leave here and head north to a town with a castle.

ALUNZE KINGDOM

On the second floor of the INN, there is a slot machine. To play, you need to buy chips from the blue-haired man. It would be interesting to try to get 1000 tokens and exchange them for the Rage Knife, which is a very powerful weapon at this point in the game. There is also an excellent armor that has the IP Miracle, which restores all of the party’s HP, but it costs 10000 tokens, and I doubt you will have the patience to get it. Well, head to the castle and climb the first staircase, head north to reach the throne room. There is a crowning ceremony for the prince, but Betty and Bart, two thieves, arrive and steal the crown. Go through the door to the south and then go right, go down the stairs and talk to the fallen man. Go forward two screens and go south. Place the jug on the button to open the next door. You will see two white stones; push the one on the right once to the south and the one on the left once to the west to widen the southern corridor. Push the other rock down this hallway to the black square near the door to open it. Go to the chest that contains a new tool, the bombs.

Go back to the room with four pillars. Note that there is a cracked wall on the right. Use a bomb on it to open the way. You will be in a huge room. Take the vase and place it on a button to the south. Get the Headband from the chest to the southwest and follow the bridge that formed. In the next room, there is a cracked wall, but first, go through the door on the right and defeat the monster to open the next door and reach the rechargers and a save point. Go back and now use the bomb to blow up the cracked wall. Take the vase and place it on the north button to open the door to the north. Go in and get the Escape from the chest. Go back and place the vase on the southern button. Go through the door that opened and you will see some colored blocks. You must align blocks of the same color. There are 6 yellow, 5 blue and 5 red blocks. If you line up three blocks, they will disappear. They are arranged according to the following scheme:

     1 2
   34567
   890AB
    CD E
    F

Well, do the following: push the F block to the left of the 8, this eliminates 3 yellow ones. Move block 4 above 3 and 1 to the left once and up once. Now, place block 2 between blocks 3 and 5 to eliminate the rest of the yellow ones. Move block 4 up once and block 1 right once. Place block C to the right of 4, move block D below 4 and E to the right of D. Move block 0 up to eliminate the blue ones. Place block B to the right of 1 and A between blocks C and 1 to eliminate the red ones and open the passages. In the door to the north, there is a Coat; take it and go through the door to the south. Push the middle stone down, the right one right, and the middle one left again to reach the stairs. Go forward until you reach a blue circle with four buttons around it. Go left and push the block into the black square in front of it. Go back and place the vase on the top left button. Step into the circle and place a bomb near the box. Exit the spike area, get the Dragon Egg from the chest and exit through the door to the south. Push the block onto the other black square to lower the spikes on the left.

Place the vase on the top right button, step on the circle and go to the chest with a Secret Fruit. Go back and place the vase on the bottom right button. You must defeat the monster to be able to lower the spikes and get the item from the chest. The problem is that he keeps running away from you. Do the following: stay right below the blue circle and keep the directional pad down for a while. Now, go anywhere, leaning against the wall, and he will come towards you. Finish him off and get the Light Knife from the chest. Go back and place the vase on the bottom left button, finish off the monsters to open the next door. Follow it and you finally find Betty and Bart. After a series of mistakes between the two, head south to recover the crown. Use an Escape to get out of here and go talk to the king to return the crown. He says he wants to reward them. Choose the last option to earn 3000 G. Go rest at the city’s INN and head to the temple to the north. You discover you can’t get through because a boy named Abel has the key and has gone to the cave to the west. Head there.

ALUNZE WEST CAVE

You meet Abel at the entrance. He says a monster took the key. When he’s gone, pick up the planks and use them to complete the bridges. He falls to the arrow location and activates the lever. Get the Hi-potion from the chest and head to the northwest door. Activate the lever to open it. Go down the stairs and head to the south door. Go straight past the ladder and you’ll reach the reloaders. Cut through the bush to the north to reveal a secret corridor. At the end of it, there is a Brave and a Miracle. Go back through the left door and go down the stairs. There are three chests on the right containing a Hi-Potion, Hi-Magic, and a Power Brace. Get everything and kill all the monsters to get out of here. Go back up the stairs and head north. Go to the door to the northeast and go forward until you reach a spot with a vase. Walk around until a staircase appears on the other side when you step on a certain part. Place the vase in that part and go back to the recharger room.

Go through the door on the right and go down the stairs. Now comes the annoying part. There is a button to the north and it is blocked by brush. You must push the white stone to the button. The problem is that when you cut the bush, it grows back after a few seconds, so you’ll have to be pretty quick. Place the rock facing the button, use a bomb near the bush and, as soon as it explodes, push the rock towards the button. Do this until you succeed. There is a lever to the west. Stay a good distance away and shoot an arrow at it. Go back to the place with the three chests near the spikes and push the pillars into the water to form a bridge. Head north to a chest containing a Jet Helmet. Go down the ladder near the pillars. Here there are two doors and a staircase. Go down the stairs and go forward until you reach a pool. In the room before it, there is a secret passage that takes you to a chest with a Miracle. Press the button to lower the water. Go back and go through the door on the right. Go forward until you reach another pool. Press the button and go back. Go through the right door, recover, save and use a bomb on the cracked wall. Get ready for the boss.

BOSS: Regal Goblin

He has a powerful physical attack, which could be a problem for Tia. Keep her healing all the time. He also summons other monsters to help him. Don’t worry about them and focus your attacks on Regal. After it falls, get rid of the rest.

Get the Shrine Key from the chest and go back to the first room. Head through the door to the east and you’ll see three buttons and two vases, but there’s a third hidden behind the pillar on the right. Place them on the buttons and go through the door. You will come to two white rocks. Push the bottom one to the side and the top one up once to pass. Now push it back to the button to open the door. Get the Horse Rock from the chest and leave this place. Head to the temple and you will be able to pass through. Head north to the next town.

TANBEL

First of all, buy new equipment and spells. Talk to the blonde girl at the entrance; She is Hilda and invites you to dinner at her inn. You will also meet her brother, Guy. After some small talk, Guy invites Maxim to train with him. Head north and talk to him. Just as they were about to start, a monster appears and orders his henchmen to attack Guy. Maxim and Tia decide to help. After an easy battle, the monster escapes. Then someone arrives and says that he took Hilda to the southeast tower. Maxim says he will go with Guy to rescue her. If she has the money, buy Guy some equipment and head to the southeast tower.

TANBEL SOUTHEAST TOWER

Go through the door on the left, step on the symbol in the middle. Push the north stone to the south button and the side stones to their respective buttons. Pick up the vase in the lower left and place it on the northern button to open the door. Enter and go up the stairs. Enter through the door to the south and eliminate the goblin in the middle of the blue floor. Step on the button and go forward to an outside part. Enter the other door and push the pillar on the right into the black square. Follow the passage that opened and go up two stairs. There are two doors here. Follow the southern one, enter the blue floor where there is no yellow outline and step on the button. Continue south to the outside. Climb the ladder to the left and pull the lever.

Go back to the room with two doors and go through the northern one. Push the pillar to the white button and then place the vases on the symbols that appeared (one of them is behind the pillar and you can’t see it). Follow the door that opened and head south to a dead end, but notice the skull next to it. Place a bomb on top of it to reveal a button. Step on it to open a passage. Go outside, go down the stairs and enter the next door. You will see three squares with musical symbols below three black blocks. Do the following: from right to left, take a swing at the first one, shoot an arrow at the second one and put a bomb at the third one. This will open the next door. Enter through it and get the Sky Key from the chest.

Go back to the room where you blew up the skull and go up the stairs. Head south, recover, save and move forward to the outside. Enter the door on the right and the next one, push the block to the left square and the pillar to the north square. Enter the door that opened and pull the lever. Go back outside and climb the stairs on the left. Enter the next door and use the Sky Key to open the next one. Move forward and prepare for the boss.

BOSS: Camu

As far as I know, he only uses physical attacks and sometimes uses “Strong” to heal himself. He is weak to thunder, so it would be good for Maxim and Guy to have the Kukri weapon equipped to be able to use the IP Thunder Blast, which does tremendous damage to him. Flash magic also helps. Tia should heal and use Flash when possible. Sometimes he calls some monsters to help, but don’t worry about them and focus your attacks on Camu. After he falls, he gets rid of the rest.

Before dying, Camu says that soon the Sinistrals will rule this world. Guy asks who these Sinistrals are, but Camu says they don’t need to know, since they won’t leave this tower. He then uses the last of his strength to lock the room, but soon Iris appears and teleports everyone to Tanbel. Guy wants to thank her, but she’s not there anymore. The group takes Hilda to the INN to rest. Guy wants to go along with Maxim, but is reluctant to leave his sister alone. Then Jessy, Guy’s girlfriend, appears and says she will take care of Hilda. More relaxed, Guy then joins the group permanently. He leaves the city and goes back to the tower. You may have seen that in the boss room there were three chests that you cannot get. Well, go all the way there again and get a Camu Armor, Fire Dagger and Pearl Bracelet. Go back to the beginning of the tower and go through the door to the north and continue forward until you exit the tower on the other side. Follow it to the small village ahead.

CLEMENT

Buy new equipment and spells. There is a store that sells glass objects; buy a Glass Brace for Tia. Head to the large house to the north and talk to Rochey. He says that in the cave to the north there is an apple-shaped ruby, and if you bring it there he will pay a good price. His wife then says that the owners of the glass store were late with the rent again. Well, leave the city and head to the cave to the north.

RUBY CAVE

Enter the door on the left and place a bomb on the cracked wall on the right. Go forward until you reach a place with four levers. You must turn all four to the left, but when you turn one, you also turn two others. They are arranged this way:

AB

CD

Flip them in this order: B -> C -> D -> A. This will make the lava at the beginning of the cave disappear. Place a bomb on the cracked wall just ahead and, in the next room, step on the blue circle. Talk to the animal on the left to get your second “capsule monster”: Blaze. Go all the way back to the room with the first cracked wall, go down the stairs and go forward to a part with lava. Take the plank and complete the bridge. Head north to two stairs, go down the one on the right and shoot an arrow at the lever on the left. Go back and go down the stairs on the left. Head south to another staircase, go down and cut the weeds on the wall to reveal a door. Go through it and get the Ruby Key from the chest.

Go back to the two stairs and go down the one on the left. Pick up a blue stone and throw it into the lava at the bottom left to reach the next platform. Throw another rock to the left of this one to reach a chest with a Flame Fruit. Go back and throw another blue rock near the platform with a ladder. Go down and cut the weeds on the wall to reveal another door. Follow it until you reach a save point. Recover, save and go through the door on the left. Open the next door with the Ruby Key. You will find the Ruby Apple, but it is a trap prepared by an animal that wants to eat you.

BOSS: Tarantula

The biggest problem here is the Poison Shower, which hits everyone, deals up to 30 damage and can poison. It can also paralyze a character. So have the Release magic. He is weak to fire. With Maxim, have the Fire Dagger equipped and use the IP Blaze Attack whenever possible. Tia should heal and, when possible, use Spark. Have Guy equipped with a Horse Rock and use IP Dive, which isn’t much, but it helps. Have Blaze in the party, but unfortunately, he shouldn’t last long. Again, don’t pay attention to the monsters he summons. Finish them off after the big guy falls.

The Ruby Apple ends up breaking during the battle, but Tia finds it strange, as the ruby ​​is supposed to be a resistant stone. She enters the door ahead to find Jaffy. She is the owner of the glass shop and says that she came here to look for the treasure to get out of difficulties, but ended up captured by the Tarantula. As thanks, she offers a fake glass Ruby Apple. Tia then shows the other one that broke and Jaffy says she was the one who made it and sold it a long time ago. She has no idea how he got here. Guy then has the idea of ​​giving the fake apple to Rochey and getting the money. Tia thinks it’s wrong, but Maxim agrees with Guy, to the girl’s surprise. Well, go back to Clemento and go talk to Rochey. He is very happy and gives you the money for Ruby. Maxim then decides to give everything to Jaffy and only asks for a glass jewel in return, which he gives as a gift to Tia, who literally jumps with joy. Well, leave the city and head to the northwest temple. He exits the other side and heads into the town ahead.

PARCELYTE

When you enter, you will see some kids messing with a little girl, but a woman named Selan arrives and scares them both away. After she’s gone, explore the city and buy new things. Head to the castle to the north and you will see Selan practicing with one of the guards. Guy and especially Maxim are impressed by the girl’s skills, which makes Tia jealous. Enter the castle and go to the throne room, which is upstairs. Talk to the king and he asks you to find the Treasure Sword which is in a fortress north of here. Accept and the king will order Selan to come with you. She doesn’t like the idea at all, but she must obey the king. Leave the castle and head to a building northwest of here.

TREASURE SWORD SHRINE

Go through the door on the left and enter the next one, go through the wall on the right, take the vase and place it on the button to the north to remove the spikes. Blow up the cracked wall in front of them, and in the next room, step on the cracked floor. Go forward to a chest containing a Round Shield. Push the rocks to open the way and climb the ladder. Go back to the beginning and enter the door on the right and then the next one. Go down the stairs and you will reach a room with some platforms that move when you step on them. Go down a little and step on the first one to reach a chest containing an Undead Ring. Go back to that platform and step on it again and then on the next one and the one above. Now step on the one to the south to reach the chest with an Ice Rapier. Go back and step on the top one and go to the bottom one. Go out and step on the one on the far left. Leave this one and go back to the previous platform and then the one above to reach two chests containing an Anger Brace and the Sword Key.

Go back to the beginning and, with the key, open the middle door. Continue defeating the enemies that are lying in wait, open the next door and climb the stairs. Head south until you reach a room with some levers; At first, only two are accessible. Pull the top one, the bottom one, up, down and up again. Head through the southwest door and get the Bat Rock from the chest. Go back and pull the bottom lever and then the top one. Go to the other side to reach the other two. Pull the top one and then the bottom one. Enter the next door and go forward to a staircase. Go up and you will see two wooden boxes. Put a bomb in the one on the left and then in the one on the right. Walk towards the door ahead until the bombs explode and clear the way. Enter through the door and go forward until you reach a room with four blocks, two yellow and two red, arranged in a line. Simply take the first yellow block and place it to the right of the last red block to open the next door. In this room, things get a little more complicated, as there are more blocks; they are arranged as follows:

    5
   3
12 689
   47

You can only move one of each color to make them all yellow, so take block 7 and place it between blocks 3 and 4, then take block 4 and place it to the right of block 2, enter the next door and another group of red and yellow blocks, this time they are in the following formation:

1 2 
345 
678

This time, you will only be able to move two yellow blocks and one red block to make them all yellow. Then do the following: move block 2 to the right of block 8; then move block 4 to the right of block 1; and finally move block 7 above block 1. Enter the next door, recover, save and move forward to a door that can be opened with the Sword Key. In the next room, try to open the next door and you will have to face two monsters, one at a time. Choose one and detonate it, it’s very easy, but soon after it comes back and sends you to the previous room. Do the same with the other monster and, again, it will revive. Selan then says that they must defeat them both at the same time, so Maxim divides the group into two: he and Tia will face one and Guy and Selan, the other. Return to the Save Point to recover and proceed to the real battle:

BOSS: Pierre and Danielle

Maxim and Tia will face Pierre. Its most dangerous attack is Flash; he is weak to ice, so have Maxim equipped with the Ice Rapier and use the IP Glacial Attack for high damage. Tia heals and uses Gale whenever possible. Guy and Selan face Danielle. She uses ice magic, and the fact that Guy and Selan are a little slow can be a problem. Selan should heal and use Spark when possible. Have Guy equipped with the Kukri and use Blaze Attack. If you are well prepared, this will even be an easy battle.

After the conversation, get the Treasure Sword from the chest and return to Parcelyte. Go talk to the King, and he says that as a reward you can take the treasures from the chest. A soldier then appears and says that the nearby town of Gordovan was completely destroyed by a single man. Selan asks the king to go and investigate, but he is reluctant. Maxim then says that he will also go, and then the King calms down and allows Selan to go. After the conversation, go to the castle’s basement, talk to the guard and he will let you through. Get the Holy Wings from the chest and leave. Buy new equipment in town for those who don’t already have it and head to the temple to the west. Exit the other side and enter Gordovan just to the south. Talk to the people to learn that a giant destroyed the city and kidnapped a traveling woman; he took her to a tower to the west. So let’s go there.

GORDOVAN WEST TOWER

Enter through the door on the left. You will arrive in a room with two doors; We should go through the one on the left, but it’s locked. To open it, you must make the monster step on the button; just keep walking against the door and eventually he will do it. Climb the ladder and head south. In the next room, hit the red button to lower the red blocks. After them, there are some stones that are in the following formation:

    7 
   6 8 
   5 9 
123 
  4

Push block 2 down twice, block 4 right once, and block 3 up once. Step on the white square between blocks 5 and 9, stand to the left of block 7 and shoot an arrow at the blue button to lower the blue blocks. Move block 7 out of the way and pull the lever on the right. Go through the door to the south and enter the next one. Go forward until you reach a room with a vase and two buttons. Take the vase and put it on the button on the right. Follow the black path to the right door, climb the stairs and go through the south door. Take your third tool, Hook, from the chest, a hook with which you can cross previously inaccessible places. Go back and push the pillar above to the right. Go to the bottom and use the hook to reach the other side. Push the pillar up and move to the left side using the grappling hook. Enter the next door and go up the stairs.

Go through the door on the left, place a bomb near the box and leave the area where it is to avoid getting trapped. Go through the door to the south and pull the lever. Go back and press the button on the left to lower the spikes. Go through the right door to reach the elevator. Go to the fourth floor, go south and get a Miracle from the chest. Go back and go to the second floor, go south and get a Speed ​​Potion from the chest. Go back and go to the first floor, go right and go up the stairs. Go through the next door and get a Muscle Ring from the chest. Go back to the elevator and go north and then left. There’s a cracked wall here, but it’s kind of hard to see. Place a bomb to detonate it and head to a chest with an Eagle Rock. Go back and head to the third floor.

Go left to reach a room with two pillars and a button. Push the only accessible pillar to the left twice. Go around and use the hook on it to cross. Push the bottom one down twice. Now, push the top one to the right until the end, up three times, left, down three times and left until the end. Go around and use the hook on the pillar below. Now, push the top one to the button and go through the door to the south. Climb the stairs and enter the door to reach another puzzle. Press the button and the red buttons will turn blue in a certain order. You have to hit them in that order, but it changes from game to game, so be careful. When you succeed, the monster blocking the door disappears and you can pass through. Get the Wind Key from the chest and go down the stairs. Use the hook on the pillar to get to the elevator. Go to the fifth floor and go left. With the Wind Key, open the door to the south and go forward to the outside. Climb the ladder to reach the top of the tower.

Go ahead and try to open the green door, the giant then appears and introduces himself as Gades, the Master of Destruction (Wow!). He challenges you to a battle, but don’t waste time using your best attacks, as the group will be massacred anyway. Gades leaves and Iris arrives to save them. She says that Guy and Selan are also destined to travel with Maxim to confront him. Once she’s gone, enter the room to the north to find two chests containing a Scimitar and a Block Shield. She returns to Parcelyte and goes to talk to the king. Selan says she wants to investigate Gades. Then, a messenger arrives and tells Guy that his sister’s health has worsened. He then decides to return to Tanbel, but says that as soon as Hilda gets better, he will be back. He leaves the castle and returns to Aluze (use Selan’s Warp magic). Go to the dungeon where you chased Bart and Betty. You may have seen a chest that you couldn’t reach before. Now that you have the hook, you can. In it, there is a Water Jewel. Head to Cave to Sundletan and go to the part with wooden stakes. Use the grappling hook to get across and you’ll come to a chest containing a Dragon Egg. Return to Gordovan West Tower, inside, go through the green door on the right and go through the door to the north to exit on the other side. Head north to the village of Merix, buy new equipment and spells. Talk to the people to learn that Gades went to the northern cave. Let’s go there.

CAVE BRIDGE

Talk to the man at the entrance, he says he can’t fix the bridge because of the monsters. Go down the stairs and go through the next door, and the next one, to get a Regain. Go back and head right, cut the bushes and use a bomb on the cracked wall. Enter and pull the lever. Go back to the start and use the hook on the stake on the other side. Go forward to a room with two doors. On the right, there is a Hi-Magic. Follow the one on the left. Here, there is apparently nothing, but the group finds it strange. Tia starts walking around the room and falls into a hole. Selan immediately jumps in after her and is followed by Maxim. Selan saves Tia from a monster. After the conversation, it is Selan’s turn to fall into another hole and this time it is Maxim who jumps immediately after her, followed by Tia. After more conversation, move forward to a room full of monsters. Finish off the one in front of the black sphere and then destroy it, to open the door on the right and make the rest of the monsters disappear.

Continue forward up a series of stairs until you reach the other side of the bridge. Now that the monsters are gone, the man can fix it. After he’s gone, go back to Merix and go to his house to the southeast. Talk to his daughter to get a Dragon Egg. Rest at the Inn if you need, and return to the cave. Climb the stairs to the north to emerge on the other side. Head north to a castle.

BOUND KINGDOM

Soon after arriving, a group of monsters attack, but a guy with blue hair appears who appears to be very strong, although not very smart. He finishes off the monsters and their leader, Idura, escapes promising revenge. Then, the prince of the castle appears and finishes off the remaining jelly, still thinking he’s the good guy, and the worst part is that his subjects are still supportive. He talks to the guy with blue hair, whose name is Dekar. After the conversation, he enters the castle and buys new equipment, goes upstairs and goes to the throne room. A messenger says that the leader of the monsters has fled to the northern labyrinth. Then, Prince Alex says he will defeat him and, despite Dekar’s pleas, leaves together with his faithful servant Josef. The King asks Dekar to protect him without him knowing. He leaves the castle and heads north to the labyrinth.

NORTH DUNGEON

Enter the rightmost door and go down the stairs. Cut the bush until you find a button on the ground, step on it and go back to the beginning. Enter the door on the left and go forward until you reach a staircase that escapes you when you try to go down. The secret here is to get to the left side so that it moves down and gets stuck on the tip of the arrow. When you do, go forward to a room with a pillar and a vase. Push the pillar to the right once and use the hook below it. Take the vase and put it on the button, move the pillar out of the way and go through the door to the south.

Go down the stairs and enter the door on the right. Step on the platforms with arrows to reach the upper right door. There are four pillars here. You must place them in the black square to the north of them to form a bridge to a chest containing a Dragon Egg. Return to the previous room and step on the platforms until you reach the lower right door. Using the hooks, go right and then north. Soon you will reach where the third capsule monster, Flash, is. Take it and return to the platform room. This time, you must reach the upper left door. Here you will see some panels where you must place bombs until they light up everyone. A good tip is to place the bombs in unlit places. When you do, cross the bridge that appears and get the Life Potion from the chest. Go down the stairs and go to the save point. Save and go to the next room. Push the pillar to the right button to open the next door. Go inside and you’ll find Alex and Josef, but Idura appears and sends some monsters to attack you. Finish them off and Idura says that as long as he lives, he can send a multitude of monsters. Then Dekar arrives and breaks up his party, who once again runs away. Prince Alex finally realizes that he is not “the guy” and apologizes to Dekar. He says he wants to learn how to fight from him. After the conversation, return to Bound Kingdom.

Upon arrival, a guard says that Gades was here and spoke to the king. He goes to the throne room and the king will say that Gades has given a warning: he will sink the island of Seim, where Parcelyte is, and soon after he will destroy the kingdom of Bound. Maxim says that he will face him together with Dekar, but that Tia and Selan won’t be able to go. He asks the two to go to Parcelyte to alert the population. Despite the girls’ protests, they end up accepting. Guy then arrives to complete the team. Buy new equipment for him and Dekar and head to the tower east of the castle.

ANCIENT TOWER

The enemies in this place are tough and, with only Maxim to heal, your life can get very difficult here. So, it’s good to have a stock of Hi-Potions. Push the pillar on the left to the middle of the red carpet; Now push him against the wall until you can’t anymore and then to the left until a door appears. Enter and go forward until you reach a room with four pillars and a white circle in the middle of them. You must make the enemy here step on this circle to open the door. Well, there is no scheme for this, what you must keep in mind is that it always moves in the opposite direction to yours. When you do, go through the door and you will reach a room with a staircase surrounded by spikes, which will go up if you get close. Here is a pillar, push it to the bottom left corner of them and on the other side, use the hook to enter, climb the ladder.

Go south until you reach an outside part. Enter the next door and place a bomb on the cracked wall above the lever, follow it. When you try to enter through the next door, you won’t be able to; the fact is that there is no door there, the real one is invisible just above the black and white squares on the right. Follow it and go forward until you reach a room with four blue circles; only one is accessible. Step on it, but to the left, to reach the stairs. Go up and through the door to the south for a chest containing a Fozya Shield. Go back to the circle room and now step into the middle circle to the right, enter the door to the south and move the vase out of the way to reach the chests, containing a Pumpkin Rock, Muscle Ring and Protect Ring. Take everything and return to the previous room, go through the south door to reach the outside.

Climb the stairs and go forward to a room with a locked door. Push the blocks onto the white squares to make a lever appear. Shoot an arrow at it to open the door. In the next room, step on the button on the left and go all the way back to the room with the blue circles. Go to the stairs on the right and then enter the door to the north; Now go to the left and pull the lever. Go back, press the button to open the way to the door to the south, go to the outside, enter the door on the left and the next. Defeat the monsters to open the next door, go through it to reach a chest containing the Cloud Key. Go back outside, go down the stairs on the left and go forward to a place with four pillars. Push the topmost one onto the button and the other three upwards once. Go through the door and go up the stairs to reach a large room.

Here there are two statues, one on a blue carpet and the other on a red carpet. Well, give 3 swords to the red statue and 5 to the blue one. Then step into the circle between them. This will make HP and MP rechargers appear (HALLELUJAH!!!!!). Recover and go through the door to the south, save and continue forward until you reach a room with three blue circles. It seems like a complicated puzzle, but it isn’t. The objective is to make the skeleton step on the white circle at the same time as you step on the blue circle on the right. Just step into the circle and keep the directional pad held to the right. The skeleton will eventually step into the white circle and you will be transported to the door to the northeast. Enter and pull the lever, go back two rooms and go through the door to the south to reach the outside. Enter the left door and open the next door with the Cloud Key, go up the stairs and you will finally find Gades. Get ready!

BOSS: Gades

This time you don’t have the option to lose. His physical attack takes away more than 100 HP and he has a more powerful attack that deals almost 200 damage, in addition to the Destructo Wave, which hits everyone and deals up to 50 damage to each one and which he uses very frequently. Maxim shouldn’t do anything other than heal, while Guy and Dekar use their best IPs; the one from Pumpkin Jewel is very efficient. As a capsule monster, you can have Flash to help with healing, but he shouldn’t last long in the giant’s hands. Good luck!

Gades does not believe that mere mortals could defeat him. He starts to back away and Maxim follows. The floor then collapses and prevents Guy and Dekar from going after them. Gades then activates a mechanism that begins to make the island of Seim sink and disappear. Tia and Selan arrive and say they came because they were worried. Maxim orders everyone to leave the tower and says he will find a way to stop the mechanism, but Tia doesn’t want to leave it at all. Selan then says that there is no other way and that they must trust Maxim. The group then leaves. Back in hero control, go down the stairs on the right and blow up the statue with a bomb. Go back and go down the stairs to the north, shoot an arrow at the statue and continue forward to a chest containing a Magic Bikini. Go back and go down the one on the left, go forward stepping on all the black squares you see to turn them white and open a door ahead. Go to a room with another black square on the floor, step on it to deactivate the mechanism, but it seems that our hero has reached the end of the line, as there is no way out, right? Wrong. Iris appears and teleports Maxim to Parcelyte.

Everything seems to be fine. Maxim is greeted by Selan, who says everyone is safe. Then the two find themselves madly in love. Tia then understands that she doesn’t have the slightest chance and tells Dekar that Maxim has always protected her since she was a child and it was this Maxim that she fell in love with, not the warrior Maxim. She had no faith, Selan trusted him and waited for him, knowing he would return and that’s why she won him. Aunt leaves without saying goodbye. Maxim and Selan get married; a year later, their first son, Jeros, is born, and they all live happily ever after.

END!?

BOSS: Idura

Even though we only have Maxim and Selan, this will be a very easy battle, he is weak against ice, so it would be good to have Selan equipped with the Water Jewel and use his Frost IP, Maxim uses the best IP he has and the Gale magic, have Flash as capsule monster and with a little luck you might not even need to heal.

Maxim asks Iris what happened, because he did everything as she said, met other people and defeated Gades, but Iris says that his destiny changed, as he should have died in the tower after defeating Gades, if that had happened, the world would be at peace, but the fact that Iris saved him changed the course of history and now Maxim will have to fight again to protect the world and the people he loves, Iris leaves and Selan says he will go with Maxim, but he says she should stay with Jeros, she replies that she would if she were a normal mother, but she knows how to fight and wants to protect the world and guarantee a future for her son, even if she never sees him again, back in Parcelyte, Selan leaves Jeros in the care of his aunt, head to a temple just east of the Ancient Tower, talk to the guard to pass and enter the portal, on the other side you will find Guy and Dekar who join the group, leave and head to the next city.

The sea currents return to normal, after the conversation, the mermaids are swept away by another current, enter one of the whirlpools ahead and you will soon find them at the entrance to the temple, Maxim feels a great energy inside, the mermaids try to enter but are vaporized, wanting revenge, the Queen tries to enter too, but is stopped by Selan who puts her to sleep, Maxim tells the princess to take her mother away and says she is going to enter the temple, enter and follow to a teleportation circle, step on it and head north until you find the Dual Blade that resonates for Maxim, you will then meet Daos, the leader of the Sinistrals, he says he wants to destroy the world because of the Dual Blade, because the fact that it is resonating is because there are humans capable of fighting against it. the Sinistrals and this they cannot admit because this world must be ruled by the strongest, Maxim says he will defeat him with the Dual Blade, but when he tries to take it, it disappears, Daos then says that Maxim is not worthy of the sword and the group is transported to Chaed, an island appears in the sky, controlled by Daos, he destroys Chaed and challenges Maxim to go there.

Leave the city and head to Potravia, go talk to Lexis and he says that to get to Doom Island (the name he gave himself) he will remodel the ship to become an aircraft, but for that he needs another engine and like the first It took years to build, it’s not possible to build another one in time, but he says there is another way, there is a nation governed by military people called Gratze (we’ve heard of these guys), whose technology is very advanced, they have tanks that have the necessary engine, but they won’t just give it to us on a platter, so we’ll have to get the power, leave Potravia and telport to Dankirk, take the ship and head to the northern part of the continent, dive and look for a hole in that area, enter and follow the whirlpool to the east, exit the ship and continue forward until you reach the castle.

GRATZE

When you leave, the guards will take you to the prison, there you will find two old acquaintances, Bart and Berty, after some conversation, they open the cell and leave, reload and save in the cell on the left and go through the door to the south , finish off the guards and go up the stairs, go forward to a room with weeds on the wall, cut them down and put a bomb on the cracked wall, go inside and go up the stairs, push the moving pillar to reveal another staircase, go down and shoot an arrow on the lever, get the Basement Key from the chest and go back to the room with the bushes, go through the door on the left, here is a vase and a button, but contrary to what you might think, you can’t put the vase in the button, I confess that I messed up a little in this part until I discovered that it was stepping on the button holding the vase (banana cone), enter through the door that opened and push the pillar towards the button, use the hook to go to the other side and activate the lever, return to the previous room and go through the door to the south.

Hit the eye with an arrow to continue, go forward to a place with three more doors, enter through the lower right door and go to the next one, activate the lever and use the hook to reach the chest that contains a Miracle, go back to room with the three doors and follow the door to the north, go forward and soon you reach the door that can be opened with the Basement Key, in the next room there is a puzzle, just follow the following route: south, south, east, east, south, north, east, south, west and south, go forward until you reach where Bart and Berty are, they were captured and the prince of Gratze wants to practice target shooting with them, after a lot of conversation, he orders the soldiers to attack you, but they are just appetizers, finish them and let’s get to the main course:

BOSS: Tank

Right from the start, increase everyone’s defense, as this thing has some very powerful attacks, don’t use magic against it, as they are inefficient, increase everyone’s attack and use normal attacks and IPs that don’t cause elemental damage, pay attention to healing.

You get the engine, but the prince becomes completely possessed and activates a kind of self-destruction mechanism in the castle, Bart and Berty leave and Selan transports the group to Potravia, go talk to Lexis to get your aircraft, head to three triangular islands and enter the village of Narvick, buy new equipment, they are the best you can buy, go further north and talk to the Elder, he says that you need to get special items from the three towers that are on the three islands, but they are sealed and to break this seal you take three “key girls”, one for each tower, the first, Lisa, joins you, we then go to the tower near the city.

SHUMAN ISLAND SEALED TOWER

Go forward to the first door you find, enter and go to another door, inside there is a chest with an S-Ice Ring, go back to the first door and go forward to two others, enter the one on the left and go up the stairs , two more doors, enter the one on the left and get the S-Water Ring from the chest, go back and follow the one on the right, go forward until a dead end, finish off the monster and a ladder will appear, go up and go forward until a place with a staircase in the eastern part, before it there is a door, go down the stairs and go forward to a chest containing an S-Thunder Ring, go back to the door before the stairs and finish off the dragon to reveal another staircase , move forward to the save point, recover, save and continue forward to reach the seal, but Gades is back and says that thanks to Erin he can revive, ok, let’s attack.

BOSS: Gades

He has the same attacks as the last battle, that is, nothing to worry about, use the IP Force Field as soon as the battle starts and you won’t even need to heal, send your best attacks and the Zap, Thunder and Gades spells don’t last long.

Gades says that as long as Erin lives he will always come back to torment us, Lisa breaks the first seal and you get the Pearl Armor, which is not the best armor in terms of defense, but it has an excellent IP, leave this place and return to Narvick, talk to the Elder and Marie, the second key girl will join you, head to the northeast tower.

STRADA ISLAND SEALED TOWER

Climb the first staircase on the left and then climb the other one on the right, go forward until a dead end, finish off the ghost to reveal a staircase, go up and go through the door to the northwest, finish off the dragon to reveal another staircase, follow Go ahead and save on the way, soon you will reach the seal and Amon appears, this time there is no way, we will have to face him:

BOSS: Amon

He is certainly much stronger than Gades, Chaos Wave can cause confusion, Glacial Lance hits everyone and causes around 150 damage, he can also use Ice Valkyrie which causes similar damage, use the same strategy you used against Gades, but This time the healing will be much more constant.

Marie breaks the second seal and you get the Pearl Helmet, a good helmet with a great IP, go back to Narvick to get the third girl, Clare and take her to the last tower to the northwest, but first a warning, if you have any optional thing to do, do it now, because you won’t have another chance later.

KAMIRNO ISLAND SEALED TOWER

Enter the first door and follow it until the second one, there is an S-Fire Ring in the chest, go back and go forward until you reach a dead end where you will have to kill another monster to reveal a staircase, go forward until you reach a room with a ghost in front of a black square, finish it to reveal another staircase, go forward and if you want, save halfway, soon you will reach the third seal and Clare will undo it, you will win the Pearl Shield, but Daos appears and wants to take Maxim’s “Pearl Items”, he uses his power to defeat the group, but Maxim resists and the two have an energy duel, so the Dual Blade finally chooses Maxim to be its bearer, which leaves Daos angry, he leaves, the three girls then unite and trap Doom Island in a force field, but Amon had attacked the ship and without her they can’t get there, Selan transports the group to Potravia, there Lexis says he will go repair the ship and send the group to rest in the meantime, Maxim asks to have a talk with Selan, he asks her to stay, but is soon interrupted by her who tells him to stop wanting to leave her out of his battles, she will accompany him wherever he goes and the two will return together to their son Jeros, Guy overhears their conversation and tells Artea that he is worried for them, Artea says that they know what they must do and who they must protect and says that Guy There must also be someone waiting for him, he says yes and that when all this is over he will have a big party, after the conversation, head to where Lexis is and he will have finished the repairs on the ship, but the city is invaded by monsters that are at sea too and that way you can’t move it, things seemed lost when then, behold, Dekar appears, ALIVE, to everyone’s joy, he says he will take care of the monsters here and tells the group to go to the Sinistrals’ castle , they then leave and despite Amon’s attacks, they manage to reach the island, the final battle approaches.

DOOM ISLAND (Final Dungeon, and there is no return)

First of all, equip the Dual Blade on Maxim, if you haven’t already done so, go through the door on the left and get a Miracle from the chest, go down the stairs and exit through the door to the south, enter the middle door and get three more Miracles, go back and go through the right door, go up the stairs and get another Miracle, exit to the south and follow the central corridor to find Gades.

BOSS: Gades

He’s still the same weakling as in the previous battle, use Force Field right at the beginning and use Thunder with Selan and Zap with Artea, Maxim and Guy use normal attacks, don’t spend IP on him, as Gades isn’t worthy of that.

Climb the ladder and move forward, examining the side rooms for some more Miracles, when climbing the second ladder, go to the northernmost part for another two chests with Miracles, go back and go up to the highest part to find Amon, get ready if:

BOSS: Amon

He has the same attacks as before and this time he can use Thunder magic, so don’t hesitate, use Force Field right at the beginning and Brillance with Maxim which then increases Guy’s and his own attack and they both send normal attacks, Selan uses Thunder and Artea use Fry, both of them should be ready for healing as well.

Before going up the next ladder, go down the one further north, it takes you to HP and MP rechargers, recover, go back and now, go up the ladder, walk around the central part to find three more chests containing Miracles, move forward to find Erin.

BOSS: Erin

Now it gets a little complicated, Davastation Wave can kill the entire group instantly, but if you are at a high level this is unlikely to happen, even so, Selan and Artea are very susceptible to this attack, be ready to use Valor or Miracle at any time, Dark Fry hits everyone and can deal up to 250 damage, Maxim, Guy and Artea use the same scheme as in previous battles, Selan only cares about healing and increasing everyone’s stats, as his attack spells are not very efficient here.

After defeating her, return to the chargers to recover, enter the teleportation circle to find Daos, it’s time for the decisive battle:

FINAL BOSS: Daos

Although he is not that dangerous, Terror Wave can poison you, nothing to worry about, he can also use Dark Fry and Dark Reflect which reflects special attacks, if he does this use a weak one on him to remove the effect without causing high damage to the user , he also uses the Ice Valkyrie, Thunder and Fire Bird spells, Maxim and Guy should use their best IPs here and normal attacks when this is not possible, Selan heals and increases the group’s stats and Artea uses Zap and also heals if necessary, I could wish you good luck, but if you’re at a good level, you won’t even need it.

In a last effort, Daos still tries to gather the power of the four Sinistrals to defeat the group, but Maxim and the others join their forces and manage to defeat the evil energy, but, in the process, Selan is mortally injured, the castle begins to collapse and the The bridge that gave access to the throne of Daos falls, separating Maxim and Selan from Guy and Artea, Artea cannot teleport everyone because Maxim and Selan are too far away, Maxim then tells Artea and Guy to leave as he will not leave his beloved behind, after After much hesitation, Artea ends up being convinced by Guy who sees no other way out, she promises to tell everyone what happened here and the two leave, Maxim laments that he and Selan will not be able to see the new era of peace that is beginning, then, the spirit of Daos appears and says he will throw the island at Parcelyte in his last act of terror, after he is gone, Iris, I mean, Erin appears and says that to stop this Maxim must destroy three magical stones that control the island, in her last effort before disappearing, she opens a teleportation circle to the place where they are, ok, enter it and go to the right, soon you will see the first stone, get close so that Maxim can destroy it, enter the door north and go forward to the second stone, destroy it and enter the door to the north, follow the only possible path to the last stone, But Maxim is exhausted and cannot destroy it alone, so the Dual Blade uses its powers to help him.

Well, I’ll leave the rest of the ending up to you, after the credits there’s a dialogue that will be very familiar to anyone who played Lufia 1, when the expression “The End” appears, wait a little longer and you’ll see a full game report, the time played, the number of battles, how many chests you opened and so on, reset the game and when you load your last save, you will see the “Retry” option next to “Start”, choose this option to enter a new mode, where you gain quadruple the experience in battles, in this mode it is much easier to reach level 99 and defeat the Egg Dragon, if you finish the game in this mode, you will access Gift Mode, where you can play the Ancient Cave with everyone the characters at any time, and that’s it, thanks guys and see you next time.

CHARACTERS

Character	Description	Assessment
Maxim	A young warrior who hunted monsters to survive and found himself on a mission to save the world from a terrible evil. He sets out on a journey to find others who share his destiny, so that together they can save the world from the Sinistrals.	Maxim is a good character, there’s nothing extraordinary about him, all his stats are well balanced, he’s not very good with magic, but he’s a great asset in times of emergency.
Aunt	Maxim’s childhood friend, he always protected her and that’s why Tia is in love with him, but it is not reciprocated, as Maxim sees her as a sister. She goes with him for part of his journey and sees that her chances of winning him diminish when he meets a certain young woman from Parcelyte.	Tia has horrible attack and defense, but she’s great with magic, maybe even better than Selan. It’s a shame she doesn’t stay in the group for long, as she has great potential.
Guy	A young warrior living in the village of Tanbel, Guy is very confident in his strength which makes him a little arrogant at times, but ultimately he is a good man. He joins the group after Maxim helps him save his sister from the clutches of one of the Sinistrals’ servants.	He has good attack power and the best defense among the characters, but he is very slow and cannot use spells. If it weren’t for the IPs, he would be a very annoying character to use.
Selan	A young warrior from the Kingdom of Parcelyte, Selan is greatly admired for her strength and sense of justice, qualities that end up winning Maxim’s heart and the love of these two will be her most powerful weapon in the fight against the Sinistrals.	Selan is the best mage among the main characters and as such has a very low attack and defense. Whenever you buy spells, give priority to it, especially healing ones.
Dekar	A warrior who protects the Kingdom of Bound, extremely strong, but not very smart, he joins the group for a while, but ends up sacrificing himself (or not) to save them from great danger.	Dekar is a slightly better version of Guy and could perfectly replace him if it weren’t for the fact that Guy is one of the main characters. Really, a shame.
Lexis	A scientist who helps the group several times with his incredible inventions. I don’t have much other information about him.	Lexis is potentially the best mage in the game, unfortunately she is the one who spends the least amount of time in the group. If not for that, he would be an excellent replacement for Artea.
Artea	An elf who lives in a secret village, far from humans, she ends up joining the group because she doesn’t want to see the world destroyed by the Sinistrals.	Artea has similar statuses to Maxim, with the difference that she is much better with spells and has some exclusive ones like Fry and Zap, which means that in some cases she is more useful than Selan.

ANCIENT CAVE

This is an optional dungeon in Lufia II, perhaps the most difficult of all RPG games. It is north of Gruberik and has no less than 99 floors, each one more difficult than the last. It’s practically another game within a game. You can access it from the moment Jyad makes a ship to transport you. It doesn’t matter if you access it in this part or when you are almost at the end of the game, because even if you are at level 99 with everyone, have the best equipment, spells and 99 of all healing items, there is no point, because all this will be taken away from him. You will enter the cave with all characters (including capsule monsters) at level 1, completely unequipped, without spells and with only 10 Potions.

Once entering the cave, there are only two ways to leave: the easiest is to have the group annihilated; the other way is using the Providence item, which is only found after the twentieth floor. Each floor only has a descending staircase, that is, if you go to the next floor, you will not be able to return to the previous one. Each floor is random and changes from game to game. The items you find in the red chests cannot be taken outside the cave, only those in the blue chests, which are very rare. You can also find spells in chests and then use them in the cave. The deeper you go, the better the items you pick up and the tougher the enemies. In the case of spells, you can get the best ones right from the beginning and not even be able to use them due to lack of MP.

Here there are also Iris Treasures, special items that cannot be used or equipped. I still have to confirm this, but if you manage to catch them all, you can open a secret door in the last dungeon. I only managed to find one, the Iris Sword. If anyone has managed to find them all, please write to me to confirm this information. If you manage to reach the top floor, you will find the Jelly King and you may or may not face him. If you decide to face him, you will only have three turns to defeat him and, considering that he has around 7000 HP, this will not be easy at all. The good thing is that he doesn’t attack you, so you don’t have to worry about healing. It would be good to enter the battle with a full IP bar and have the most powerful IPs you can to stand a chance. If you succeed, you will get the key to the door at the beginning of the cave where there are three chests. I still don’t know what’s in them, but it looks like they’re some of the best equipment in the game.

Finally, be aware that if you enter the cave you will be on your own, as I said before, each floor is random and you cannot create a guide. What I can do is give you some advice to try and survive:

1. If you are playing via console, I advise you not to try, as inside the cave there is not a single save point and you will need at least 40 hours to reach the end. Therefore, if you are going to face the cave, play via emulator, as you will still have the “Save State” feature.
2. Always fight to level up, as reaching the lower floors at a low level is practically suicide.
3. Search each floor from cover to cover before moving on to the next, as any item you leave behind may be sorely missed later on.
4. Choose a capsule monster and develop it to the maximum, leaving the others aside. One monster I recommend is Flash, believe me, he can save your life many times on the lower floors. Sully can also be a good option, due to his high attack power.

Good luck!
