Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head right and upwards to encounter a crocodile-like enemy. Follow the path counter-clockwise, push a rock in the bog, and exit south.
  2. 2
    Continue south, take the right exit, and proceed to the large lake on 1F. Head north and cast Arid Heat on the puddle to dry the lake. Return to the start of the area and enter the dried lake bed to find a [Mint] in a chest.
  3. 3
    Enter the next area and manipulate the logs: push the south log south, then up. Push the north log south, then up. Fill a leaf with water, return, and use it to access a chest containing a [Faery Vest].
  4. 4
    Return to the lake, drain the water, and go back to the log area. Push the south log right, then the other log down. Push the south log left.
  5. 5
    Refill the lake and return. You can now access the south bank. Exit south and follow the path. In the next room, a Mars Djinn named Glare is on a ledge.
  6. 6
    Freeze the southern puddle and push the left log to it. Push the northern log south, then freeze that puddle to create a bridge. Defeat Glare in a fight to recruit him.
  7. 7
    Proceed to the next room and push a log into the water below. Slide down the convenient slide to return to the lake quickly. Jump to the leaf and freeze it. Slide right, down, up, and left to access a new section.
  8. 8
    In the new frozen section, slide down, right, up, left, up, right, down, and left to reach a chest. To get the chest, walk to the northern stairs, slide down, right, and up to obtain a [Giant Axe]. Return to the land on the right and go south.
  9. 9
    Follow the path and push a block down to continue. You will reach an area requiring a grab to proceed. Melt the massive chunk of ice to continue. Push the next block into the water. Enter the now-accessible door. Save your game, as a boss fight is imminent.

Boss Fight: Sludge and Skulls

Stats / Weaknesses:

  • Sludge: HP: ~1932. Attacks: Call Skull (summons skulls, max 3), Crush (low-med damage), Tail Slap (low-med damage to up to 3 targets), Healing (heals ~300 HP).
  • Shield Skull: HP: ~384. Ability: Sludge Shield (protects Sludge).
  • Haunt Skull: HP: ~496. Ability: Witchlight (low-med damage).
  • Curse Skull: HP: ~313. Ability: Condemn (chance to instantly kill target).

Strategy:

  • The Curse Skull is the most dangerous enemy due to its instant-kill ability. Prioritize eliminating it.
  • Use healing abilities, especially area-of-effect heals like Karis or Reif's heal-all, to manage the damage from multiple enemies.
  • Sludge itself is not a major threat, but it can summon more skulls, increasing the pressure.
  • Experience and coins gained depend on the number of skulls killed.
