Granseal

As soon as you wake up head right, towards the school. In the basement of the school, search the vase to find medical herb. Sarah the priest and Chester the knight will join you, then you should go to the castle. In the west wing of the castle are three chests, which contain medical herb, angel wing and antidote. When you go to the Tower, walk behind it and line yourself up between the two windows. Walk north as far as you can, then search to find a piece of mithril.

If you go south to the Holy Sword’s Shrine before you go to Yeel, you can find a piece of mithril. It is located in the mountains around the shrine, the one that hangs down lowest as you go toward the cave. From here you should go to Yeel.

Yeel

Not a lot happens here. If you search the vase in the first house you come to you’ll find healing seed. From here, you need to exit through the top of the town to get to Hawel’s House. On the way, you’ll have a battle.

Galam

After the battle you will get the Jewel of Light. Slade the thief will join now. Inside Galam town you can sneak into the weapon store and find 2 medical herbs in the chests. You can’t use the north gate out of the town, so you have to go out the bottom, back to Granseal. When you leave, there will be another battle.

Battle 6

Escape to Granseal

Boss: Dark Cleric

Monster	#	HP	MP	AT	DF	AG	MV

Granseal

When you arrive back here, you find that it is too late, the Galam Soldiers have already been. The animals from the pet shop have been set loose, but if you go to the small house with the vase and barrel, you will find one of them, cold and alone. Talk to him and he’ll join you (you get to name him, but his default name is Kiwi). He’s a tortoise and has a high defence and attack, Unfortunately he has only got 7 HP and never gets many more. He is very vulnerable to magic and eventually his defence will be the same as the others’. When you go to the castle (even though your mother asked you not to!), you’ll have to go to the Ancient Tower and fight a battle.

Battle 7

Ancient Tower

After this, Princess Elis will be kidnapped, and you will get the Jewel of Evil. There will be an earthquake, forcing you to set sail from Grans to Parmecia, but before you leave, search the small hole made by the earthquake, outside the castle and to the right. You’ll find a mithril. That’s the end of Part One, as nothing happens on the journey on the boat…
