Final Fantasy I Walkthrough

3. Matoya and Pravoca

If you continue heading north rather than east, you’ll come across a strange cave in a rock wall. This is Matoya’s Cave, home to the witch Matoya. She is blind because she’s lost her Crystal Eye. You can find a few good items here, including a couple Potions and one Antidote. After you’re done in her cave, return to the bridge area and start heading east. You’ll travel for quite awhile, facing harder enemies than before, and eventually you’ll reach the town of Pravoca.

The townspeople in Pravoca are complaining about the pirates that are causing problems in the town. So, naturally, your goal here is to get rid of the pirates. You can fight them right away without any trouble. You’ll get into a battle against nine Pirate enemies, and they’re a piece of cake. Simply attack with all of your characters, mage or not, because they have less than 10 HP apiece. After defeating the pirates, their leader, Bikke, will give you his ship. Stock up on new magic and equipment here, as well. Pravoca has level 2 spells available, and you should buy Ice1 and Steel for your black-magic users. None of the white magic is absolutely necessary, so buy whichever you like. First, stock up on new weapons, and afterwards, go for armor. Leave the Steel Plate for last, because it’s so expensive.
