Part 53

Master Ark 2 Part 53 with our comprehensive guide. Learn strategies for Barn's Lost Dog, Weird Sewer Sounds, Indigos Whiskey Delivery, and Search for Missing Child jobs.

The exit is blocked, and enemies will swarm you. This is a good situation to use Power Loss, Plasma Shock, or Cold Breath. Launch an offensive immediately because the golem enemies have a paralysis-inflicting attack and can hit multiple allies diagonally with physical attacks. Lieza's Cure ability (LV2) can help if you get paralyzed. Try to obtain the Ruby item, which grants +3 DEF and is a component for crafting a LightRobe later. Docsun will not attack if he cannot access the large gem display case and will not give the retreat order, but his cohorts will still head for the exit once freed. Elc can block the exit in three turns, as Docsun does not move on his first turn.

The police arrive afterward, but things do not get hectic.

JOB: BARNS' LOST DOG [JB04]

• Merits: 3
• Reward: 800g
• Listed: Indigos
• Available: After Lieza joins party in Indigos
• Best Outcome: Kill all monsters and get the dog

After accepting the job, talk to the bespectacled man in front of the Indigos Bar. He wants you to find his lost dog somewhere in town. Go down into the sewer to find undead monsters who want to fend you off so they can eat poochie.

Luckily, this isn't a "save the hostage" mission – the enemies all target your group first. Sadly, all have the 'Paralyze Wind' attack and use it frequently. Use area-effect spells/skills like Power Loss, Plasma Shock, Cold Breath, etc., to defeat them, as most will come from the SW corner of the map towards you. Stay apart so their paralysis attack can't hit more than one person, and make sure to deal the finishing blow ASAP when they're left with 1 HP!

Return to the surface with the dog and talk to the green-overalled kid standing by the bar. He'll say that Mr. Barns waited as long as he could but had business abroad and wants Elc to take care of the dog until he gets back. Four 'Doggy Treats' (not a real item) will be handed over. When you can return to Elc's apartment in Prodias, the dog will end up there.

At least Barns didn't forget to pay the guild.

JOB: WEIRD SEWER SOUNDS [JB05]

• Merits: 6
• Reward: 1200g
• Listed: Indigos
• Available: After Yagos Isle events
• Best Outcome: Defeat all monsters with no ally casualties

Enter the sewers to start the battle.

This may be a bit trying with only three party members, but if you wait until the end of Gallarno's House, Shu and Shante will be in the party. Cold Breath, Strike Power/Power Loss, and spear attacks will defeat these enemies.

JOB: INDIGOS WHISKEY DELIVERY [JB06]

• Merits: 3
• Reward: 1000g
• Listed: Prodias
• Available: Can do immediately after Yagos Isle events
• Best Outcome: Defeat all monsters

This job cannot be completed until Shante has quit hanging around the bar, as it temporarily halts traffic. Talk to the Prodias barkeep and head towards Indigos' tavern. After picking up the goods, it's time for an above-ground FIGHT CLUB!

Another waste of time to go through; luckily, the Fighters are all water-type, so Elc can rip through them with ease. "Flying Smash" can do 12-15 damage to one target but isn't much to crow about. When the battle ends, Elc automatically returns to the Prodias Bar to deliver the goods.

JOB: SEARCH FOR MISSING CHILD [JB07]

• Merits: 2
• Reward: 800g
• Listed: Prodias
• Available: After events at Yagos Isle are complete
• Best Outcome: Find the kid on the very first try

This is a non-offensive job, so it's pretty easy. Talk to the man in the Prodias bar to get a 'description' of the kid, who looks ugly and has bad posture. Enter Elc's apartment building and grab the kid standing in the hallway for the correct pick. If you pick any other similarly dressed kid around town, it affects the 'rating' of the job completion.
