Part 73

Your expert guide to Part 73 in Chained Together! Learn how to defeat Ancient Turtles, break chains, find hidden chests, and tackle tough enemy encounters. Get all the loot!

Alright, let's dive into Part 73 of our adventure in Chained Together! This section is all about breaking some chains, finding some sweet loot, and dealing with some tough defensive enemies. Egyl's going to be a key player here, so keep an eye on him!

First up, you'll run into some enemies that really hate Egyl. The game notes that enemies using single-target skills are guaranteed to target him, and if he uses 'Cover,' he'll take any physical damage for a party member. This makes him a great tank, but remember he's the main target!

You'll encounter a new enemy, the 'Ancient Turtle.' These guys are defensive but can be 'canned' by Tomke. The ability you get from canning them is 'Sharing is Caring,' which is only really useful if a target has no TP. There's also a reward board panel if you defeat an Ancient Turtle without using any magic – definitely worth trying if you want to push your skills!

After that initial fight, head southwest, climb the rocks, and grab the chest containing 5x [_DEMON LEATHER_]. Keep pushing left, grab the [_CRYSTAL_], and then head south to a moving platform section. Ride the platform facing EAST to the northeast. Once you get off, head down and push into the left wall. You'll find a hidden chest by a tree with a [_REACTION ARMLET_].

Continue south, go around the building, and grab another [_CRYSTAL_]. Then, head south again to some stairs and another [_CRYSTAL_]. Grab it, then go left of those stairs to a chest with [_2,210a_]. Head back up the stairs, go left and north, and take the right path to a small patch of land. There's a chest here with a [_WYRM CARAPACE_].

Now, you'll see three moving platform areas. The lower-right one near the crystal doesn't lead anywhere useful, and the lower-left one has two paths: one to the southern tip of the island and another to the north. You can also reach the southern tip by going left from the stairs and then south through an archway. Down there, you'll find a merchant and a chest with 3x [_RAYON FIBER_].

For the main path, you want to get on a moving platform facing NORTH. Use either the southern landing point or the lower-left one. Ride it to the very north of this map. Get off and head north to the next screen. On this upper-middle screen, head north, but press left when you can. This jutting piece of land leads to a CHAIN holding a landmass captive. Break it, and you'll trigger a scene revealing one of the generals is nearby!

Head back right to the lake area and go north. You should see a CAVE you can break open. Inside, grab the chest for 2x [_REPAIR KIT DX_]. From here, head north, and look for a BURIED TREASURE marker. The northwest pointer is the correct one. Follow it, and you'll find the treasure near the big chain: the [_CAN MACHINE_]. This is for Tomke, so give it to him!

Continue north, but be ready for a tougher fight against TWO Ancient Turtles. After defeating them, proceed north to 'the structure.' You'll find a Fast Travel point and 2x [_CRYSTAL_] here. In the very north part of this area is a device on the ground – an ACAS machine. Turn it off; this is one of two. Now, head back to the previous screen.

You'll notice a new island floating to the south. Go back to the center island and head to the upper-right floating platform area. Wait for the new floating platform to arrive and jump on. Ride it to the southwest portion of this screen, then jump off to the next area, which is the middle-left screen of the overall map.

Move left here to find a chest with 2x [_COLOSSUS HIDE_]. Follow the linear path through the trees, fighting enemies along the way. At the end of the path is ANOTHER island with a chain. Break it! To the right, you'll find a CAVE. Break into it for a chest containing 2x [_WYRM CARAPACE_].

Head back to the central screen and then to the central island. Now, go to the lower-left platform to catch a new rotating platform. Ride it to the upper-left part of the area, entering a new screen (or rather, the upper part of the previous one). To the left, you'll face FIVE sky monkey enemies. There's a tough reward board panel here: defeat these FIVE Sky Monkeys using ONLY Robb and Egyl. This is really challenging! You'll want to equip Egyl with a counter item and give both the best armor and classes available. Robb should focus on applying Toxic and Pandemic, followed by Poison Arrow and Pandemic. Egyl's role is crucial: use his ULTRA move for two free turns, then use COVER on Robb. After that, if you're still alive, focus on taking down the weakest monkey, setting traps, or healing.
