A Tour of Erdrea

Don’t underestimate the threat you face here, the Malicious Hades Condor is no slouch. Its most deadly attack is Kasizzle, a group-based fire spell that will hit the party for over 200 HP. Its regular attacks will also hit hard for over 150 HP, so keep yourself healed at all times. With its high agility, you’ll find it acting first in most combat rounds. The Hades Condor has around 4500 HP, so you’ll have to make sure you can survive its attacks first and foremost.

Hendrick is useful in this battle. Be sure to cast Magic Barrier to help limit the damage from Kasizzle and then help out with Sage’s Stone healing if need be. Sword Dance should be your go-to attack for the Hero at this point, and Jade is useful for Re-Vamp Multifeet too. Your healer shouldn’t matter too much, but note that Serena is starting to come into her own now as the best healer in the game.

For saving him, Derk hands over a Spectralite and will agree to help Cobblestone in its rebuilding process. Before leaving the Tor, make the climb all the way to the top of the mountain. You’ll find a man on the edge of the cliff overlooking Cobblestone. Speak to him and agree to assist him to begin Quest 50 - Mista Vista. You’ll have to head to one of the Insula Isles to find this spot, somewhere you’ll be heading shortly.

Next on your list should be opening some of the many Ultimate Key doors that don’t involve heading to areas with tough quests. During your trip to unlock these doors, take the time to fight some battles along the way to increase your level.

Heliodor Castle

First on your list should be to return to Heliodor Castle. Before you head off to find the door, speak to the King in the Throne Room. Attempt to leave the Throne Room after updating him on the situation, and he will ask to speak to Jade. Following the event, you’ll obtain the Golden Tiara, which will offer 50% resistance to many status ailments. Head into Jasper’s Room next and search the bookshelves to find the first Tome from Quest 48.

Make your way into the Dungeons now and head into the Lower Level. There will be four cells you can unlock with the Ultimate Key, and from them you’ll find a Recipe Book, King of the Swindlers, and a Skull Helm.

The Cryptic Crypt

Zoom over to the Hotto Steppe Camp and access the forge; you should be able to upgrade some of the Evolution weapons that you’re currently using, such as Bad Axe and Stardust Sword. Head into the Cryptic Crypt now and follow it all the way to the room where you found Noah, at the very end. You’ll find four cells to unlock here, and inside you’ll find chests containing a Metal King Jacket, a Seed of Skill from a Malicious Pandora’s Box, and a Recipe Book, Field Manual.

Gallopolis

Only a quick stop here in Gallopolis. Climb down the well and head to the Ultimate Key door at the end; you’ll find a chest containing a Fire Ball. Before leaving Gallopolis, however, make your way to the Palace and head to the Prince’s Bedchamber to find Faris looking for some help. Agree to assist him to begin Quest 51 - Perfectly Pepped Paladins, where you’ll need to head to one of the Whale Way Stations to find the branch.

Gondolia

You can kill two birds with one stone here in Gondolia, as you’ll be able to tackle the event while you’re here. As you’ll notice, Gondolia is under attack from monsters, and you’ll need to defeat every single one of them to liberate the city. This shouldn’t pose too much of a threat to you, and you’ll have no boss to deal with at the end of it.

Following the liberation, you’ll obtain a Thunderstorm Sword from Doge Rotando. Leave the house and open the Ultimate Key door, where you’ll find two chests containing an Agate of Evolution and 50000G. Smash the pots on your way out of this area to find a Mini Medal and Pretty Betsy.

Head towards the entrance of town to find Noah, who upon speaking to him, will head over to help with the rebuilding of Cobblestone. Finally, before leaving Gondolia, head o
