Walkthrough

1
At level 10, the Prince learns the Zoom spell. This spell (costing 1 MP) allows you to teleport to any town you have previously visited. In the Switch/Mobile versions, you can select your town of choice, unlike the NES version's return to the last save point.
2
Rest at an Inn and ensure you have a Chimaera Wing and a few Medicinal or Antidotal Herbs.
3
If you cannot afford an Iron Lance for the Prince, do not worry, as the upcoming tower is not overly difficult.
4
Save your Sizz and Woosh spells for groups of 3 or more monsters.
5
Head northwest of Moonahan through the forest.
6
Ignore the first bridge and continue north.
7
Cross the next bridge and start heading south along the coast.
8
When you reach a river, cross the first bridge you see and continue south.
9
Cross three more bridges and head west to reach the Pillar of Winds.

Tips

The Zoom spell is invaluable for fast travel between towns.
Consider using Sizz and Woosh spells against groups of three or more enemies.
Do not be concerned if you cannot afford the Iron Lance; the dungeon is manageable.
