After defeating Psaro the Manslayer, getting through the credits, and saving on the "Fin" screen, we can now begin Chapter 6. Chapter 6 is untitled, but it contains some interesting post-adventure content.

In this video, the party will complete the Pioneer Town sidequest. Note that the accessory vendor posted west of the inn will go out of business as we proceed to the final stage of Pioneer Town, so if you want any of her items, such as the Kerplunk Bracer, best to buy it now. Some even better equipment will come on the market in Pioneer Town's final stage.

In Pioneer Town, the party chats with Princess Pam in the inn (time index 0:34). She wants the party to recruit a guardsman in Laissez Fayre. Next, they talk with Rocky in the northern house (time index 1:30). Apparently, some strange man in Havre Léon's pub wants to become a king.

So, the party Zooms to Havre Léon and chats with the wannabe king in the pub (time index 2:20). Was he not born in the right family, as Marcello puts it? The party sends him off to Pioneer Town.

The guard that Princess Pam wants is in the Laissez Fayre inn (time index 3:25). The party assigns him his next billet: Pioneer Town.

With that, the party Zooms back to Heorotsville (time index 4:20). Wow, it has rapidly become a castle! Partz from Laissez Fayre is now posted outside the castle, along with Mr. Ned.

At this time, I missed getting a treasure behind a tree on the western grounds of the castle, but I will come back for it later. This treasure is a Falcon Blade.

Rocky and Adrian are now in the kitchen southwest of the castle's entrance hall. After chatting with them, the party heads up the stairs in the kitchen. On the floor above, a pot contains Mini Medal #58 (time index 7:06). Another of the pots contains Sultan Farog's Body! This is relevant to restoring Sultan Farog from his froggy form. The northeast barrel contains a Seed of Agility.

The shops are now in the main hall of the castle. The owner of the old item shop now runs a weapon shop named War-Mart, and he has some great equipment available.

The southeast stairway leads to the library, where Archie O'Logist will tell the tragic tale of Pioniria.

Hidden behind the stairway in the middle of the main hall, another stairway leads to the basement levels (time index 12:12). On B1, behind some jail doors, there are four treasure chests protected by an electrified floor. They contain a Miracle Sword, Sultan Farog's Heart, a Mirror Shield, and a Ruby of Protection.

Down on B2, there are two empty barrels and a stairway leading to B3. On B3 (time index 13:29), the area looks a bit like the basement below Endor Castle's main hall. Zack will tell the party part of the story from the book that used to be in the northeast house in the earlier stages of Pioneer Town. One of the barrels near Zack contains Mini Medal #59 (time index 14:54). In the southwest section of this floor, a treasure chest contains a Meteorite Bracer, which doubles its wearer's agility.

The well leads down to B4 (time index 15:43). Mary Curey is missing her "favourite damp spot."

Back up on B1, the party heads through the southern door to find the new Casino (time index 16:11). This Casino has Poker and Slot Machines available. There are some new prizes available here, the most useful of which is the Liquid Metal Helm.

Back in the entrance hall, the party takes the northern exit and finds the king that they recruited in the western room. Princess Pam is in the northeast tower.

In the castle courtyard, a twinkling spot northwest of the fountain contains another Mini Medal (time index 19:51). I just forgot to grab it. Besides, it's not really needed.

In the castle's northeastern room on the first floor, a wardrobe contains Mini Medal #60 (time index 21:14). One of the barrels in the same room contains Mini Medal #61.

Way up on the fifth floor of the castle, the party finds the restored Sultan Farog on the throne (time index 23:12). It's pretty clear that he had been transformed into a frog. Collecting his heart and his body restored him to his former glory. When the party talks to him a second time, he will give them Mini Medal #62. Nice!

As the party heads back downstairs, they encounter Hank Hoffman Jr. on the third floor (time index 26:05). Things haven't gone quite how Hank expected, but c'est la vie.

Now done with Pioneer Town, the party Zooms to Minikin's Dominion (time index 27:20). In return for 60 Mini Medals, King Minikin will reward the party with his final prize: the Gringham Whip. This is the strongest weapon available for Alena, and it will hit a whole group of enemies in a single blow.

Thanks for watching!
