The Bridge in Peril

Speak to the guard walking near the Northern gate after returning from the Lost Shrine. The spawn requirements for the shade require cloudy weather and the location is the bridge between the west and east parts of the Plains. To change the weather, enter and exit the Forest of Myth until it is cloudy. Stock up on healing items; 10 medicinal herbs and health salves are advised. The boss is a large shade with armor that takes almost no damage from physical attacks and limited damage from magic, and it has minions. Strategy 1: Use Gluttony to absorb orbs from minions to fully charge and blast the boss. This does small but visible damage. Stay alive and keep spamming full charge Gluttony. This is tricky as you need to regain MP by attacking, which is dangerous. Strategy 2: Once only the boss remains, fully charge Dark Hand and jump to land a blow on its head for damage. For both strategies, using Magic Drops or Capsules and powering up magic with words is highly recommended. Report back when done. Reward: Labyrinth Whisper (boss drop) and 30000 Gold.

Search for the Shade

Speak to the Guard opposite the south gate after obtaining the Aerie key. Go to the northwest end of the map. Then go back to the gate. Speak to the girl, then go to the Library entrance. Follow these clues: 1. Speak to the woman by the bench near the fountain in the marketplace. 2. Speak to the guard wandering in the market. 3. Speak to the woman at the very end of the market. 4. Go back and speak to the girl. The shade can be found on the western hill, accessible via the stairs near the fountain in the market. Kill it and return for the reward. Reward: 15000 Gold.
