This is the final floor of the dungeon and on this level we'll need to make another icicle bridge just like on Level 3. In the northern most portion of the area you will find a bunch of twists and turns, when you try to run through the middle road you'll cause large icicles to fall which will make a bridge across. Things start to get a bit more complicated when you make it to this floor. Take the northern most staircase so you can grab the two treasure chests, then come back to level 2 and take the southern staircase for the path forward to level 3. Running will cause you to slip and slide so much you'll easily fall off. The whole first floor of this dungeon is rather straight forward, when you reach the icy walkway in the northern portion of the area use the D-pad to walk across it. Immediately to your left in the small room with the fountain when you enter is where you will find the Map of Herb Grotto. I think you can just go to the Herb Grotto and find Marek. I don't think you need to speak to these people in order to advance the story forward though. The man standing outside of Marek's house tells you to speak with the Item Shop owner and the Item Shop owner tells you that if Marek isn't home he is likely at the Herb Grotto.
Most of the shops and useful areas are in this part if you venture in the center of town you'll find the mayor's house and in the mayor's house you'll find stairs that lead into the basement.ĭown in the basement is where you'll find Marek's house but he isn't home at the moment it seems.
When you first enter you'll be at the inside portion of the ring. Thankfully the town of Orkutsk is rather straight forward - the entire town is a ring with multiple levels. Either way, our next stop is really easy to find. Run around the area and collect all the treasure chests you come across before venturing into the town of Orkutsk. The next morning when you depart she hands you a bag to bring to someone in the town to the north. Talk to your party and Marta when you're done to advance the story forward. and not naked in the good way.Īfter you pass through the Blizzard Peaks cave you'll trigger a cutscene - when the cutscene is over you'll wake up in a building which you should search thoroughly for all of the goodies here. Before leaving town equip Jessica with a weapon and armor again - you get her back naked. With that out of the way, head north out of Arcadia and to Blizzard Peaks it's the opposite direction of Rydon's Tower. After the cutscene Dominico will unlock Jessica's latent abilities and she'll learn Kacrackle and Kasizzle as well as rejoin your party. When you leave the room that he is in there'll be a cutscene with a nun bursting through the doors asking someone to come help David. She can also put your entire party to sleep with a single cast which is another nuisance.Īfter you beat Jessica and before you leave town, head inside of Master Dominico's house and speak to him.
When you come back upstairs you'll find that Jessica is here and her new target is David! This battle is a real pain in the butt since Jessica attacks twice per round and she hits like a truck. Travel down into the secret room of his basement and steal his stuff while finding the book he asks you for. You'll have to endure another scene with him berating David after it's over head inside and speak with Master Dominico again. With the Kran Spinels in hand return to Arcadia and speak with Master Dominico standing in his front yard.
