Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Leave Somnia and head south-west towards a mountain gap. Carver will approach and offer to join you. He joins at Level 3 with a Bamboo Spear, Leather Kilt, and Leather Shield. He can equip the Giant Mallet or Stone Axe, and Scale Armour.
  2. 2
    Consider leveling Carver up by fighting local monsters near Somnia. Using a Boomerang is effective against groups.
  3. 3
    At Level 5, Carver learns Flying Knee, a skill that functions as a magic attack but uses no MP.
  4. 4
    Continue west across a small bridge. You'll see a signpost warning of a wild mustang.
  5. 5
    Enter the forest and find the horse by walking around the trees to the right. The horse will run off and stop multiple times.
  6. 6
    Carver will suggest a plan: he'll go west while you go east. Walk to the right, causing the horse to run left towards Carver, who will stop it. The horse will then run to a dead end.
  7. 7
    Talk to Carver to capture the horse. He will name her Peggy Sue, regardless of your input.
  8. 8
    Exit the forest, and Peggy Sue will follow.
  9. 9
    Return to the castle in Somnia. You can walk around the town and castle with Peggy Sue in tow, receiving unique comments.
  10. 10
    Speak with the old man in the courtyard. After some initial refusal, he will arrange for you to meet Captain Blade again.
  11. 11
    Carver will be recruited into the military as a reward. If you did not obtain the item at the top of Gardsbane Tower, you will receive an honor from the captain.
  12. 12
    You will then be ushered to meet the King for a new mission.
  13. 13
    Before leaving, speak with the King to receive the wagon (you get it even if you don't talk to him).
  14. 14
    Speak to the King a second time to inquire about the phantom realm. The chancellor will inform you that the north-eastern checkpoint is open.
  15. 15
    Enter the King's bedroom (located to the left) and check the drawers in the far corner to find a [SILVER TIARA].
  16. 16
    Return to the ground floor and speak to the old man, who will confirm the wagon is ready outside.
  17. 17
    Exit through the doors behind him to find yourself on the world map with your wagon and horse.
