To get into the Dwarven Town on Grans
|

| What can I say? Another essential item, which you can’t miss anyway. |
Dynamite
—G
| Purpose: |
To clear the rocks at North Cliff |
| Use with: |
Cannon |
| Location: |
Go to New Granseal and talk to Astral (after you’ve got the Cannon). Then talk to the guy next to the weapon shop. He’ll give you it. |
| Do make sure that you’ve spoken to Astral first, or the guy won’t give you the dynamite. |
Arm of Golem
—G
| Purpose: |
To restore Claude’s power and make him join |
| Use on: |
Claude |
| Location: |
Moun, nearby the West Gate, an odd looking object will sometimes appear. It’s a sort of brown colour. Search it, and you’ll receive the Arm of Golem. |
|
Take this to Claude’s Shrine (see map) and use it on the thing that looks like a statue… Claude will then join.
|
Sky Orb
—G
| Purpose: |
To power the Nazca Ship |
| Use on: |
The Nazca Ship’s Controls |
| Location: |
Nazca, after you’ve killed Cameela. |
| There’s not much to say about this one – it Cameela gives it to you when you defeat her, and you then use it to power the Nazca Ship. When you’ve got the Sky Orb you can return to Creed’s Mansion and recruit the 3 characters you left behind before. |
Holy (Force) Sword
—G
| Purpose: |
To open the mouth of the Devil’s Head Statue |
| Use on: |
The Devil’s Head Statue |
| Location: |
Near the end of the game, when you return to Grans Island. South of the Tower, where Granseal was, is a little cave (it’s the one featured in the intro, where Slade steals the two jewels). It’s on the bottom floor, you just have to search the sword (with ‘A’) to pick it up. |

Here’s a collage showing the sequence leading up to finding the Force Sword, and using it at the Devil’s Head.
