Alright, let's head back to Argonia! When you arrive, you'll notice the Bazaar has moved inside the Event Hall. Head there first. Inside, smash the barrel on the left for a Seed of Magic, and then the ones on the right to find Mini Medal #114.

Now, go back to the city entrance and take the path east of the Inn. Enter the big house there and head upstairs. You'll see a Glowing Mirror. Snap a photo of it for 058: Alarming Light. After that, interact with the mirror – it'll open up the Troll Maze for you!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Once you're in the maze, go forward and take your first left. At the next intersection, go straight and follow the path all the way to the end. You'll find a Hell Sabre waiting for you there.
  2. 2
    Head back to that intersection and take the other path this time. Keep going until you hit another intersection. Go straight ahead to grab Mini Medal #115.
  3. 3
    Return to the intersection and take the path you haven't explored yet. Continue along this route until you reach yet another intersection. Go straight for Mini Medal #116.
  4. 4
    Now, backtrack to the intersection and take the final path to the end. You'll reach a room where you can take a picture for 086: Trolling in the Kitchen.
  5. 5
    After snapping your photo, talk to the Troll standing at the very back of the room. He'll ask you a couple of questions. Make sure to answer "Yes" to the first one and "No" to the second.

After the dialogue and a battle, you'll be rewarded with 2 Seeds of Strength and 3 Seeds of Life. That's all there is to this little area! Just cast Evac to leave.

Tips
  • Make sure you visit Argonia at night time to get the Alarming Light photo.
