9. The Hero Appears

Enemies:	T'pole, Gnawer, Deceased
Treasures:	Mid Tonic, Shelter, MagicScarf

Everything is just about the same in 600 AD, except that Zenan Bridge to the south has been fixed. However, if you try to cross it, you'll find that you can only enter it.

Talk to the Knight Captain and the other Knights. The Knights will talk about how there's a battle on the bridge with Magus' Mystics. Speak to the Knight Captain and you'll learn that food supplies are running low. He asks if the rations have arrived from Guardia Castle. Evidently not, so your next destination should be Guardia Castle.

The castle's morale is low due to the King's injury. Evidently he fought valiantly alongside the knights. However, the Hero appeared and made it across the bridge with the help of the Knights. The beds and the food that normally would restore your HP and MP are all out of service, and the Chef is frantically running around. Talk to him and listen to the conversation with the maid, then attempt to leave the castle. The Chef will stop you and give you some Jerky for the front lines and a Power Tab for your party. Return to Zenan Bridge.

Give the Jerky to the Knight Captain, who proclaims that the cook has saved the troops. Talk to him after his speech and he'll give you a Helmet

Gold Helm if you accept his offer to help out the Knights. Equip it and head across the bridge. There are no treasures, just dead Knights and Deceased. Ozzie will join in every battle but is unbeatable - simply strike him once after defeating his troops and he'll run away. At the end of the bridge, you'll have to fight a boss.

	Zombor is a gigantic skeleton made up of two different parts: the legs and the torso. Zombor's legs can be attacked by Lightning and Fire, and his torso can be attacked by Ice. Although it's easier to defeat his legs first, he will become much faster and attack everyone for 60 damage every turn, not to mention the 80+ damage he does to all characters upon the death of his legs. It's much easier to kill his torso first (which will result in him swiping all of one character's remaining MP - better that than death!) and then focus on the legs, which can be taken out faster without the torso getting in the way.

You can now move on past the Zenan Bridge, having driven Magus' army back. Head to the Residence in Dorino and you'll see a sparkling drawer. If you picked up the Naga-Ette Bromide back in the Cathedral, you can swap it for a Magic Tab with the old man. Toma is at the Elder's House and is being recruited by the Elder to find the mythical Rainbow Shell. After the conversation, Toma will leave and head for the Dorino Inn. There, Toma seems to be wasting his money away. Pay his tab and he'll tell you that some frogs have taken over the southern woods. This seems worthy of checking out.On your way south, you'll pass Fiona's Villa. Inside, you can speak to Fiona. She mentions that the woods mean a lot to her and she's guarding them until he comes back. You can rob her of two Mid Ethers as well.

You can get a at the Market in Porre, and you can use four Armor

Gold Suits and two Helmet

Berets. Equip them after purchase. If you head to the Cafe, you'll find Toma yet again, and if you buy his soda he'll reveal that he's ALREADY wasted away the money given to him by the elder. The Rainbow Shell he was recruited to find is on some island, but he doesn't know which one. At the Elder's House in Porre, you will find two more Sealed Chests - the same two that are at the Elder's House in 1000 AD. Finally, head to the Cursed Woods.

Make your way to the back of the woods and you'll see a bush shaking. Go around to the back of it and you'll be able to climb down a hidden ladder. Grab the MagicScarf from the apple-chest, then walk toward the beds and someone will call out "Who's there?!" Frog will then jump down from the ceiling! Upon hearing that the King has been injured, Frog replies that there is nothing that he can do and asks you to leave, saying he's not the Hero. You need to prove him wrong, so your next destination is to head to the Denadoro Mountains to see if you can get the Sword

Masamune.
