Guide to Part 41 of Ark 2, detailing Palencia Tower's mirror tile puzzle, teleporter challenges, switch activations, and the boss fight against Grolgalde.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the trapdoor, drop to 4F. Return to the previous floor and ascend to 6F. Move to the NE; the banditos will activate a teleportation trap, sending everyone to 2F.
  2. 2
    Return to 6F for Battle #2. After discussing Grolgalde, use the triangular pad to reach the exit.
  3. 3
    On 7F, you'll encounter a "mirror tile" puzzle. When the pointman steps on a flat space, surrounding spaces reverse their state (flat/tilted). The goal is to reach the south side (healing point) without getting trapped by uncrossable slanted tiles. One solution, starting at the rightmost of the two starting spaces, is: LLLLDDLURDDDDLURDD.
  4. 4
    On 8F, six teleporters are split into three groups. All but the middle teleporter of the left group lead to Battle #3.
  5. 5
    On 9F, Gomez and Antonio's actions lead to Battle #4.
  6. 6
    Ascend to 10F, where you'll find three switches: two circular and one triangle. The triangle warps everyone to the first floor, so avoid it. The SW circle triggers Battle #5, while the NE circle leads to the safe part of 11F.
  7. 7
    On 12F, there's a healing point and two switches. The right switch initiates Battle #6, while the left switch changes the lone warp to move up one floor.

Boss Fight: Grolgalde

Stats / Weaknesses:

  • Lv 80 Grolgalde — HP: 316, MP: 114, Skills: Twirl Blitz + ???
  • Lv 77 SA-100 [2] — HP: 186, MP: 157, Skills: Speed Up
  • Lv 77 SA-200 [2] — HP: 186, MP: 157, Skills: Speed Down

Strategy:

  • At the start of the battle, Grolgalde uses a magnetized energy field to reduce everyone's turns, including counterattacks.
  • Before Turn 3, Antonio and Gomez will intervene, damaging the gravity amplification machine and weakening the effect.
  • Grolgalde can be Searched, but not all information will be revealed.

After the battle, the area crumbles in a unique anti-gravity event.

Next Destinations:

MOREA: At the Silver Noah, your next destination is Palencia Tower. If all previous jobs are completed, there will be no new ones available.

TOUVIL: Collect a [Leaf's Bead] from Kukuru and head to Palencia. At the downtown bar, make Tosh the pointman and speak with the bartender about Monji. Afterward, everyone returns to the Silver Noah, and Tosh departs temporarily. Speak with Kukuru; the party must split into two groups: one to help Tosh and one to guard Touvil. Arc and Tosh are mandatory for Palencia Tower; Elc must stay behind. Choose your party assignments carefully.
