Many enemies in this area divide when physically hit but not killed. Magic is preferred unless you have a Dark Knight with a Dark Blade.

Follow the path, and Unei will remove boulders blocking your way. Continue south and west. Take the eastern doorway and follow the path to find Reflect Mail. Backtrack and take the other door.

Head north to find three doorways. From left to right, they lead to weapons, an Inn and item shop, and an armor shop. Acquire any upgrades you can, especially from the weapon and armor stores. Then, proceed to the southeastern corner of the area.

Go south and east to a fork. Head north to reach another intersection. Explore each path: the western door yields the Rune Bell, and the other contains Faerie Claws.

Backtrack to the four-way intersection between these doors. Go south to a south/east fork. Take the east path through the door to find a Chakra Band.

Return to the south/east fork, then go south, west, and through the door to find a Black Belt Gi.

From the south/east fork, go north to the wall, then east and south to the next area. Continue along the linear path to reach the Invincible ship.
