    In Alvanista, shop for items like Rune Bottles, Charm Bottles, Mystic Symbols, and a Pickaxe.
  16. 16
    Exit Alvanista and go right, then down and around the mountains on the right. Go past the port and north to find the entrance to Morlia Gallery.

Boss Fight: Klaus

  • Recommendation: Deactivate Gnome and Sylph. Use Ifrit for Klaus as it does great damage to Undine.
  • Cress: Use normal A attacks as Undine is not affected by his techs. Try to corner Undine for an advantage.
  • Mint: Focus on healing.
  • Arche: Use Thunder Blade or Fire Wall.
  • Reward: Upon defeating Klaus, he drops a ? Book (another Rabionis) and over 8000 Gald. Klaus will also learn the summon Undine.
Tips
  • Remember not to use the Ice Scimitar on Cress.
  • The boat near the cave can be used as a save and resting place.
  • Equip the Aqua Cape for resistance to water attacks.
  • Save your progress at the Memory Circles before difficult sections and boss fights.
  • Prepare for Morlia Gallery, a long dungeon, after exiting the Glaciated Cave.
