December7-Final Editing complete ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUGGESTED PARTY!!!!!! 1.Warrior 2.Thief 3.W.mage 4.B.mage I beat the game in about 10hours with this team!!!! {{{{{{{{PART 1}}}}}}}}} here is the first part of the long 5 part FF1 walkthrough, now let's get this show on the road!!!! 1: cornalia>>>>> Ok, here you start off in the world map and you see a town right above you. What you'll want to do here is go into town. You start off with 300gil. Go into town and go into the magic stores and buy these::: 1.CURE 2.fire or thunder Now, if you are playing on the GBA, your charactors will start with weapons. BUT if you are playing on the PS1, you will still have to be reduced to using your fists. So, go out and train your guys until they get to atleast level 5 and make sure to buy some potions etc., and get some weapons if you are on the PS1 (or NES). Now, continue up north-west to reach the chaos temple..... 2: Chaos temple>>>>> When you reach this temple, you will find that everything is self explanitory, just walk forward to get into the next room. There you will find that the dark knight-Garlend- and he has captured princess Sarah. Talk to Garlend and he will say something about knocking you down, and if you don't have over 50HP, he will! He can use magic like "fire" so be ready to use some potions, don't use cure, save that mp for nul blaze/shock. You won't be able to revive your charactors using pheonix downs this ealry in the game-unless you feel like taking an hour to get that much GIL from little peons like wolves and goblins- so just try and keep your characters alive. After the battle, Garlend will die. Princess Sarah will be released, and you will go to Cornelia castle and talk to the king. He will reveal the true use for the crystals. 3: On to Provaka>>>>> Now when you leave Cornelia, go to the broken bridge that is right above Cornelia. When you do this, you will see a cutscene that i intitle " BUILD THAT BRIDGE!!!" after the music in the background. In this, the gaurds will work like they are on steroids in order to finish the bridge, they do it REALLY fast to, now, you may continue east. Keep heading to the east and stay along the bottom shore-line until you reach a town along a port called "Pravoka" 4: The pirates take over>>>>> Go into Provaka and you will have the chance to shop around a bit and use the inn. After this, go to the west side of town until you see a pirate and two gaurds infront of a building. Talk to the captian and he will make you fight 9 of his lackies. This battle is farely easy, except that it should take you roughly 3 turns to beat them. There really is no stradegy to this battle, the pirates only have about 10HP, so , just fight it like a normal battle. For winning, the captain will give you his ship, now, take it up to the south until you reach ElfHeim... *******END OF PART 1**************** {{{{{{{{PART2:::THE NEW WORLD}}}}}}}}} 1:Elf-Hiem>>>>> Ok, when you get into Elf-Hiem, feel free to look around, but make sure to go to both the level 3&4 magic shops. Now, if you havn't done this already, go press A (X) infront of one of the tomb stones beside the B.magic shop. It will say for PS1... well, some guy from the dragon quest series, and for GBA, it'll say "May Link rest in peace" which i thought was wierd becuase i named my Thief Link... Any way, now, buy some more potions etc. But make sure to get atleast 20 antidotes and gold needles. Now, take a leap out of Elf-hiem after doing what needs to be done. 2:Elf-Hiem Castle>>>>> When you are on the world-map, take a couple steps up to reach the castle. Now, go talk to the gaurds and king&queen and it's inhabitants to learn about your Mission. Go to the Prince's room and he will be in deep slumber. Talk to the guy next to him to learn more. Now, leave the castle and continue on your journey! 3:On to the Marsh cave!>>>>> Now what you do is go north-west on land. wehn you see a castle across a lake, please, do NOT go there, instead, go down on the WEST BANK until you reach a hole in the ground at the end of a penninsula! 4:Marsh Cave threats>>>>>> Ok, before you go any further, let me tell you a few things to watch out for::: - cockatrices; these can petrify your charactors - treause chests; in every dungeon, there will be a mini boss gaurding EVERY treasure chest, but sometimes there are just groups of enemies. that's about it, otherwise, just continue your journey 5:We're going in!!!!>>>>> Now, go to the path leading South. When you reach the ladder leading to the next basement, you know you're going the right way. Fromhere, keep going down until you hit the wall, then start turning east. You should now see a door leading you to the other side of the wall, go down the stairs. Now, you should be in a room with a bunch of square rooms with doors, i suggest you try everyone and check which one has the next staircase in it, don't even bother to go close to the chests. When you find the right room and you are in the B#4, you should go find a room that has a treasure chest in it that looks like it was placed there by royal people becuase it is inbetween two pillars. Go up to this one, you will be flung into a battle with 4 wizards. Now, these creatures pose minimum threat, but watch out, they are better in physical strength than you'd think. Thgough the name suggests they are wizards, they are actually very good in pysical strength, so cast dark on them, and cast saber on your main attacker. Now, just becuase these guys are better attackers, it doesn't mean they don't use magic period, so, keep an eye out on your players HP. When the battle is over, open the chest. You recieve the ' crown '. Now, take a long trip back up the cave, fully heal your players and restore their status. 6:Ruined Castle>>>>> You remeber that castle you saw??? well, after healing your guys at Elfheim and buying some more items, go back there. Go to the thrown room and talk to the king, you will give him the crown. He will than reveal that he is actually the dark elf Astos, you will be flung into battle. Astos is one of the least difficult bosses you will fight, he IS quite fluent in Magic though, so be carefull. Start by casting Invis on all your characters, than start using your strongest magic and attack with your most powerfull characters. After the battle, you get the 'crystal ball'. Leave and go to Elfheim. 7:The witch: Latoya>>>>> Now, after healing your characters (again) go into your ship and proceed onto pravoka. Once you reach the port, do not go ion provaka unless you need to heal. Instead, go up north and go as far as you can, you will reach a cave. Go into the 2nd room you see, and you will see a lady running around. Talk to her and you will give her the crystal ball, she will say she can see, and than she will give you a potion. Head out and back to Elfhiem. 8:Elfheim: the prince awakens>>>>> Go into the princes castle, and go to his room. Talk to the guy beside him and he will give The prince the potion. The prince will wake up and give you the mystic key. Go out to the chambers that could not be opened, and now, you can go in them!!!!! After this, go to cornelia and go to their chamber. Open all of the treasure chests until you get the TNT. Now, head out and towards the cave with all of the dwarfs. To get here, head to the west from cornelia on sea until you sea a port . Dock at the port and go South until you reach a cave. 9:A new path>>>>> Go to the south end of the cave and you will see a guy who is trying to dig, talk to him and he will blow up the wall with the Dynamite. After this, he will say something about the sea calling to him, now leave and go through he new path that has been blown for you on your ship. ***********END OF PART 2************** {{{{{{{PART 3::: THE FIRST CRYSTAL SHINES}}}}}}} 1:The town of Melmond>>>>> When you go through the path, you will see a port. It will take you too the town of Melmond, go in and check out the magic stores ( they are the only thing you will neccesarily NEED to go to) and by some of the more advanced magic you can get. The maigc that you should get that will make this next dugeon a hell of alot easier, is FIRAGA (FIRE3), so get it. After you are done with your preperations, go out and fight some of the monsters to level up a bit, make sure you get to atleast L22 with all guys. Now, head off to the (west on land) from melmond. 2:The resting place of a foul creature...>>>>> Keep heading west until you see an area where you can proceed south, if you see a cave called the earth cave (not the titans cave/tunnel). You are now in a very difficult dungeon, probably the most difficult one in the game (except for the last level), so be on your gaurd. You have like, 6 options on were to go, take the one strait to your right (>) in order to proceed further into the cave. This floor is a bit confusing, so i'll post the directions here: -up -down -down -right -down -right -take your second down -down the stairs onto B3 This path is kind of twisty, what you do now is go up, than left, than down, than right until you see a door. It will be blocked by a bat. Talk to the bat and it wll fling you into a battle with a vampire...*Battle theme plays*(oh yeah...) Now, this mini boss is extremely easy if you followed my instructions and bought FIRAGA (FIRE3), just hack away at him with that, die (diara) and all of your best stradegies ( to hear more, go to the battle stradegies guide). Ok, now you can go and get the treasure. The treasure chest contains the 'Ruby'. Take the ruby out of the cave. 3:Titan cave\tunnel and the old man>>>>> Take the rubby to the Titans cave/tunnel. Talk to the titan and he will get happy, eat it, and get out of your way. Now, go down to exit to the world map. You will now see another cave, go in it. When you go in, you will see a room, this room is useless, continue onward to the next room. When you come here, you will see an old man. Talk to him and he will give you the earth rod. You better go back to Melmond and save now, eh? Yup, that would be a great thing now, so save, get some more crap from cornelia and stuff. Now,after all your preperation, go back to the earth shrine... 4:The fiend causing the earths rot...LICH>>>>> Go all the way back to where you fought the vampire, but go past him this time to that little door leading to a dead end. Go infront of the stone slab blocking the path ahead then use the earth rod. You will now be able to proceed!!!! (YAY!)Ok, this floor is alot like B2 (a maze) once again, i'll post the directions here::: -down -up -up -right -down -down -right -down -up -right -down Ok, this floor is just like the previous, take these steps: -up -up -up -up -down -down -left and than go in the door to fight your worst enemy.. (up to this point) LICH, the fiend of Earth...He is a real pain, he can use haste, invis, and other supportive spells on himself, so it will be hard to hit him. But don't fret, this fight can become alot easier if you do all of the available battle stradegies, plus, try and figure out his attacks...nevermind, i'll list them and put how to garud and recover from it: -ICE2, use Nul-frost SLP2, try and guess HASTE, slow LIT2, cura\cure2 PARALIZE, basuna FIR2, nul-blaze SLOW, basuna\haste SLEP, reffer to SLP2 STOP, basuna XXXX, [not chronicaled] ZAP!, [not chronicaled] NUKE ["] There, try and figure the rest out yourself (XXXX,ZAP!,NUKE), but these aren't to hard considering that this is only the second major boss. When the battle is done, you finaly get to see the greatest thing of all... A CRYSTAL NOW SHINES!!! The earth crystal is now shining, it is now time for you to progress into the story further... *******END OF PART3********** {{{{{{{PART4:::THE CRYSTAL OF FIRE REVEALS ITS COLOUR}}}}}}} 1.Off to Cresent Lake>>>>> Now you must go to Cresent lake first what you wan to do is go off to Melmond and check out the happy stories. Now, to go to Crescent Lake, go off to the west (on the ship) and this will reveal a new contenant. Go in to the dock and keep heading south-west until the mountains clear up and you see a lake, in the middle of the lake is a town called Crescent Lake. Go into the town and check out their awesome supply of magic and...stuff. 2.A new mode of transportation>>>>> Once you are done checking around a bit, go up to the north-east part of town and you will see a big circle of wizards in the middle of a clearing in the forest, they are called The circle of Sages. Talk to all of the sages to learn more about the land, one of them will give you the canoe, YAY! Now, proceed out of town and continue on your way. 3.The watery maze>>>>> Ok, once that is done, you should go and use your caone to go to the west of the lake, which leads to a river. Go in these directions: -at the fisrt fork, go west -now go up -now on the next fork go right -now on the next fork go to the path on the left -go left on the next fork aswell This should take you to Gurgu volcano (or mt.gulg). 4.The flames of the fire demon-Malirith>>>>> Floor 1: this floor is a piece of cake, just go to the west, but watch out, when you step in the lava, your charactors will lose HP. Floor2: Ok, getting the treasure on this floor is unnessasary, if keep running west without changing direction, you will get to the next floor. Floor3(A): This floor is somewhat difficult, you have two choices, west or east, go east to reach the next stair-case. Floor3(B): this is one of the hardest floors, here you go down, than left, than down, than left until you reach the steps. Floor4(A): Just go south east to reach the next floor. Floor4(B): Here is the other hard floor, just go down, and the hard part... resisting the treasure...all the doors hide treasure chests behnd them, but if you go down, you will reach the final floor. Floor5: usually i tell you not to get the treasure, but when you are about to fight a powerfull boss, you should.So go strait to your left to recieve the flame armor. Next, you are going to fight malirith, to get to her, go to the south west (just below the armor). You will now get to fight the earths cause for foul light (the clouds veild in darkness). I could tel you how much HP she has, but you would probably not like it iif i told you, so i won't. Here are her specials: FIRE2 (fira); use nul blaze PARALIZE (HOLD);use basuna darkness (blind);use eye drops or esuna now get ready to RUMBLE!!! To beat her, you find it farely easy if you dark and sleep, she is weak against these, so use this to advantage. Now, start off by using Nul-blaze, than on your 2 best fighters, use Haste, than cast invis all (invis2). This will greatly give you an advantage, and if you'd like, cast saber on the charactors with Haste. Also, cast sleep and dark on malirith, this will help becuase she is a strong attacker, so using dark will make her do less damage or miss altogether. After the battle is done, you will get the power of the fire crystal! ******END OF PART4******* {{{{{{{PART5:::THE AIRSHIP}}}}}}} 1.The ice caves>>>>> Now, go alittle bit down on your ship until you see a second river, dock your ship there. Go in these directions: -go up at first intersection -go right at next intersection -go down -go left Ok, this is now going to be your best chance to use the cabin, seriously, i'm not kidding use them....NOW! Ok, now that that is done, you can concentrate on some of the more great taska, head into the ice-caves: Floor1: This is probably the easiest floor, just follow the path and take the first stairs you see. Floor2(A): I withdraw that last statement, this is the easiest floor, just go in any direction to get to the next floor. Floor3(A): This floor is self explanatory. Floor2(B): This floor is great in one way....You can get a flame sword. To do this, go into the room and get the chest on the left. After you have done this, feel free to jump into one of the holes, they will take you to 3(B). Floor3(B): You will be droped in a room with zombies, fight them and continue on. Go as far south east as possible (why is it always south-east in this game???) and you will reach floor...1... again... Floor1: Go into the first room you see and grab the 3 treasure chests, now go into the crack (circle). Floor2(B): this place firmiliar??? it is, now, go to get the treasure chest in the middle, but first you must fight the eye. the eye is EXTREMELY easy, just use Firaga (FIRE3) and you may beat it in one fell swoop, but watch out for ir's special attacks, like break and XXXX, these can kill a character in one hit, but otherwise, you are good to go. After you got the 'Levi Stone' go back into one of the holes. Floor3(B): G out the same way you came to this part, but go to the stairs behind this room. you are now out (took you long enough....).... 2.The AIRSHIP>>>>> Now, go to the patch of desert just south of where you docked your ship. You will now see the airship rise from beneath the sands! Aren't you happy???!!! you should be! you can now go anywhere in the world! (except for the past and the water temple). now, your next part in this long journey is going to become your favourite part! ********END OF PART5******* {{{{{{{PART6:::GREATER WARRIORS}}}}}}} 1.The airship comes in handy>>>>> now, you will finaly recieve those clas ups that you've wondered about. Go into your new airship and hear the joyful tunes while you ride off to the cardian islands, to get herre, go to the south from here, and inbetween the two northern contenants you will see a bunch of islands... with holes. Go into the holes to see dragons who will give you info, one of them will be the home of the king of all dragon-- Bahomet. Talk to Bahomet to recieve your next task, you must go to the castle of ordeals. 2.The Castle of Ordeals>>>>> Go directly north from the temple of chaos (the place where you fought Garlend) to get to the castle of ordeals, there is a place to the east ON this island where you can land your airship. Go to the west from here and follow the path that this provides, you will reach the castle of ordeals.... Go in and talk to the old man, he will let youi advance, go to the thrown room on the left and sit in the thrown, you will fall into the next floor. This floor contains some teleporting pillars, here are the ones to go in: -only one way -only one way -bottom -only one way -bottom -only one way -bottom (again) -the one right at the bottom; do not go all the way around and to the top, when i say bottom, i mean the lowest one you can see with out going back west people! Here is the final floor, it is so easy, just go around it and pick up every treasure chest, the last one you open will give you the pink tail or somewhat like that, and upon entering the final thrown, you will fight another enemy! A random amount of zombie dragons (usually2). Here is how to beat them: they are [as the name implies] zombies, so just use Diara (diaga if you have it) and Firaga (FIRE3) to finish them off easily. You will get alot of EXP and gil from them. Now, exit the castle and give the Pink Tail to bahomet.... you now get (if you chose my suggested party): -Knight -Ninja -White Wizard -Black Wizard Now, you must continue on your journey to restore the crystals... ******END OF PART6******* {{{{{{{PART7:::THE CRYSTAL OF WATER SHINES UNDER WATER}}}}}}} 1.The caravan in the sand>>>>> Go to a large patch of desert in the north part of the world, at the top, there will be another part of wayward desert in the middle of trees and grass. Go in and you will find the 'Caravan'. he is selling a 'bottled fairy'(sounds like this is turning into the legend of zelda...) it is pretty costy, but get it, you need it to advance in this game. Now, after you have the fairy, go back to gaia. Take the bottle to the back of the town and use it in the lake. You now get the Oxyale for helping the fairy, now, head to Onlac. 2.The temple of water>>>>> Once in Onlac, go to the south-east (oh my god, south east again!) and you will see a lady sitting beside a barrel in the water, talk to her to board the barrel. Wow..That was quite possibly the strangest ride i have ever been on.... but now's not the time for that, you are now in the temple of water (sunken shrine). Ok, go up North and take the east and go ariound that little room and go on the staircase on its top side, this takes you to a floor with the best armor in the game.. So, go there and then after getting the armor go to the bottom right of the level and you will see a staircase going up. Go in it and you will be on a floor with mermaids, get all the treasure they have in the rooms, then take the big hallway on the top left hand corner of the level, it will take you to a room with... The Rossetta stone!!! YAY! After you have this preasious key item, go back to floor 3A. Go to the top left hand corner of the stage and you will see yet another staircase, go down it to reach floor 2B. To reach the next floor, proceed again to the top left hand corner, you will be on floor 2A, top right hand corner of the stage to get to floor 3B, go into the next stair case. You are now on floor 4B, just go down to reach floor 3C, which is another easy floor, head south. Go into the staircase to get to floor 1. FINALY! the floor where you fight Kraken, the demon of water...The cause of the raging seas. Go up and to the south west after you have gone as high as possible. Go into the door and continue north-west unti you reach the door, go into the next room and you will intitiate a fight with Kraken. Follow my lead to beat him, here are his special moves: -INK -LIT2 Kraken is a little more difficult than Malirith...well...alot ,ore difficult acutally, but know this:Kraken is weak against LIT (Die) spells (for a reason unknown until the final boss fight) so try using your best Die spells against him, also use Thundaga. Cast haste on ALL of your charactors, Invis-all on your charactors, nul-tide, and any other spells YOU think will be neccessary. Also 9as always) try my battle strategies, and be warned: Kraken is imune to Fire and Quake (earthquake). Now that you have the 3rd Crystal, i think i have to do something i havn't done in a long time... 3.Check up>>>>> You should have these by now: -all level 3 *(aga) spells -rossetta stone -level atleast 22's -best armor and weapons you can buy at stores (all opal equipment) -ALOT (atleast 100,000 gil) -class ups Ok, go back and get whatever you need, then read on with the guide. *********END OF PART7********** {{{{{{{PART8:::THE FINAL CRYSTAL LIGHTS}}}}}}} 1.the cube under the waves>>>>> Ok, land your airship around where you landed it to get to the desert caravan, but closer to the river in the grass. Go into the river with your canoe, and continue up stream, go into the waterfall you see. This is a very easy dungeon, follow these directions: -you will start off with 2 choices, go left -go to the lower left again -now go north-west at the four way intersection -now go down After this, you will see a door, inside is a robot and alot of treasure, talk to the old rusted machine and then grab all the treasure until you get the CUBE. Now leave and continue on your long quest. 2.The linguest in melmond>>>>> As the name implies, go to Melmond. Talk to the man behind the ruins of the item shop, he is Dr.Unne. He will say something about the Rossetta stone... and now you knoe Lufenian!!!! Now go into your airship and continue on. 3.Lufenia...The ultimate magical paradise>>>>> lufenia is quite a pain to get to, land your airship on the eastern most part of the island with the biggest patch of desert (i suggest right beside the lake) and continue downwards. You will see Lufenia, now go to the south-west part of the villiage and talk to the Lufenians, one of them will give you the Wind chime...YAY! Now, y'know how i said you needed atleast 100,000gil? Well this is where you need it. Go to the north east end of the villiage to reveal the 2 magic shops. They obtain the greatest magic in the game-HOLY and FLARE. Buy them and continue (if you want, you can also get the other magic, if you have enough gil). After this trip, go back to your airship. 4.The tower of Mirage>>>>> Go into the middle of that huge patch of desert you landed near, and you will see a small tower in the middle. this is one of your final destinations... It leads you to the 4th last place you must go, so be glad, this journey is almost over. The Mirage tower is a huge maze, and isn't even the main dungeon. On the first floor, (this is the second easiest floor)so easy, just go through the door and into the god-damn staircase (pardon my french). This is the hardest floor, so follow these CAREFULLY becuase if you picked a party with more than 1 monk, than you're the stupdest, most likely to lose to the last boss at a minimum of 10 times! (if you do otherwise let me know, i wanna see if it isn't impossible): -keep going up and take the first left -go up and around and take the first right -now go right and up the staircase You are now on the final floor...PREPARE TO GO TO THE 2nd LAST DUNGEON!!!! 5.The floating Castle>>>>> This is the domain of Tiamat-The reason for the winds stopping. I think i'm going to go back to point-form (it's easier on me): Floor1: There are 4 paths, go up. Floor2: GO TO THE BOTTOM LEFT!!!!!x1,000,000,000,000!!!! I think you get the point, you now have the legendary metal-ADAMANT. Now go strait down. Floor3: This floor is kinda' neat, if you go to the little globy thing in the middle beside the robot, you can see the world...and the square created by the 4 caves in which the 4 legendary fiends reside[ed]...and what is in the center of the lines...The temple of Chaos...Hmmmm....... Well, let's not dabble, we're gonna go to the next floor now. If you go strait left and then up, you can get the best sword for the Ninja, and if you go Left and to the below path, you will see the teleporter to the next floor. Floor4: If you go 2 screens right and 2 screens down, you can reach the next teleporter...or you could go 2 screens down and 2 screens right...or 1 screen right 1 screen down 1 screen right 1 screen down....but hell with it. Floor5: This is THE easiest floor, just go strait up...But watch out, there is a VERY rare enemy that you may encounter...WAR MECH, it has no weakness, it can use nuclear missles against you, and look what's inaffective to it!!!::: FIRE LIT ICE QAKE BANE BRAK STUN SLEP DARK none of these work against it. So, i really have no strategy...This was THE only enemy i was unable to defeat...Just go up and fight Tiamat. here is his special attacks: -thunder -poison -blizzard -blaze Yes...BE AFRAID!!! now, there is 1 thing that willl help you...Fire and Ice are the most effective against him... and he only has 1000 HP (for PS2) but gameboy people, there is a little more, but not to much, so use Blizzard 3 (blizzaga) and Fire3 (firaga). Also...well, use my strategies, and some new ones i played around abit to make for this battle: -when the battle begins, start by casting all nul-spells, and protega and shell on all characters, this will make tiamat turn into a weak mortal -next, cast holy and flare on him a number of times -now use well... other spells that help you (depending on the party you chose, if you chose the party i suggested, than you're good to go). Now that that huge war is over, you can start to worry about the bigger things, go around and get your guys to level 50 atleast and now, take this little quest: 6.The greatest blade>>>>> You remember our friends back at the dwarf cave? well go back there and talk to the black-smith, he will use the ADAMANT to forge ExCaliber, equip it to your Knight and go to the temple of Chaos... ******END OF PART 8****** {{{{{{{PART9:::THE HEOROES OF LIGHT SHOW THEIR WORTH;THE WORLD IS SAVED}}}}}}} 1.Preperation to face fear>>>>> Get the best magic for all of your characters, make sure to teach saber to your ninja. Get the optimal equipment for each character. 2.The final Battle>>>>> Ok men, only the strong and strike survive in this battle, and once again: "...follow these CAREFULLY becuase if you picked a party with more than 1 monk, than you're the stupdest, most likely to lose to the last boss at a minimum of 10 times! (if you do otherwise let me know, i wanna see if it isn't impossible)" yes, those are the lines in which i can tell if you suck or if you are just a hard-core Final Fantasy fan who likes things rough. But enough of that, go forward and go onto the circley thing and it teleports you 2000 years into the past (good ol' FF twist, eh? and yes, i am Canadian). level1: ok, you are now in the easiest floor here, just go right and down and you will get to the next floor. level2: Go the obvious level3: Go down and to the left to reach the next level level4: Go down and to the right and you will see a path leading up to a room with a stone slab, this is where you FINALLY get to use the 'LUTE' that you've had since saving princess Sara...I never knew your characters could play the prelude so nicely...well, this eveals a ladder, go down it to get to the next level. level5: you are now in the middle of a room that looks familiar...oh wait, you just here a couple seconds ago! the stairs are on the top left hand corner. level6: well, for some reason, you appear on the right side of this floor, maybe your charactors went throught some portal...or maybe... nah, i'm not gonna talk smart, just go to the left and you will reach... EARTH LEVEL: Just go strait up, then go allthe way through the hallway across the top, then down.
