Chapter 5 - Gallopolis

In the Gallopolis Region, be aware of tougher enemies like Prestidigitator, Chimera, Cactiball, Skullrider, Metal Slime, Brownie, Robber Rabbit, and Golden Globe. Chimeras use fiery breath, and Metal Slimes appear at night; focus attacks on Metal Slimes before they flee, as they have 3 HP and take 1 HP of damage per hit unless you have the Metal Slash sword ability. Defeating a Metal Slime yields significant XP.

Inside the inn, find the recipe book 'So You Want to Be a Witch' on the bookshelf. Upstairs wardrobes contain a turban.

Go north to the racetrack to compete in the Bronze Cup (Easy) for 100G or Bronze Cup (Difficult) for 200G. To race, hold R2 to gallop and square to drift; aim for green swirls to restore stamina. The easy race is straightforward; the difficult one may take practice. The easy race prize is Slime Earrings; the difficult race prize is a Gold Bracer. An autosave exists at the racetrack if you lose all your money.

Go up the north steps into the Sultan's Palace.

Gather minor loot from pots against the western wall.

Return to the prince's bedchamber and agree to meet him at the circus. If it's not nighttime, rest at an inn or campsite.

At evening, go to the circus and speak to the prince by the main entrance for a scene. He wants you to take his place in a horse race.

In the morning, go to the stables, enter the royal dressing room, and talk to the prince to receive his armour and helmet.

Mount the horse outside and go to the racetrack. Hit green swirlies before stamina runs out to win. Winning unlocks the Out-Stand-In trophy on your first playthrough.

You can now compete in the Silver Cup (Easy, 250G entry fee).
