Madason, his kids, and Sancho have enlisted the Zenith Dragon to fly them around, and they have the Ultimate Key. They are all set now to head after this Order of Zugzwang and save Bianca.

On the exterior of Zenithia, the party will find a Zenithian that can give them a clue about where they need to go next (time 0:37). Mt Azimuth! That is the high peak that can be seen to the east of Lodestar Harbour.

In preparation, the party equips Sancho. Where the party is going, any human members will automatically be placed into the active party instead of monsters.

Then, the party rings up the Zenith Dragon (time 2:46). Their goal is the northern mountains on the central continent. As they approach the shrine atop these mountains, the Zenith Dragon will automatically land them there (time 3:07). Party chat will reveal that the air is thin way up here.

Their first objective is to head into the eastern gate house (time 4:10). Behind a jail door that requires the Ultimate Key, the party will find someone guarding a lovely suit of armour. It's the Zenithian Armour!

If the party chooses to fight, they will fight a Snake Ch-arm-er (time 5:18). What a lousy guardian for the Zenithian Armour! Naturally, it should go to the cute little Legendary Hero as soon as possible.

Now, the daughter has even more reason to be jealous. :-)

Next, the party checks out the western gate house (time 7:46). The jail door, which requires the Ultimate Key, blocks access to a trio of pots (time 8:00). They contain useless Serf Wear and a T 'n' T Ticket.

Back outside, the party heads north, up the broad stairs, and into the grand hall of the Crocodilopolis (time 8:59). There are two guards at the front and then numerous people in robes. The party will barely be able to go anywhere.

After checking things out, the party has to talk to a guard again (time 11:24). The party will then have to fight a pair of Mandrake Marauders. Yawn. Afterwards, Sancho's party chat will point out the obvious.

Next, the party must head up to the stage. Bianca's statue is there! For now, they must talk with the black-haired lady on the stage (time 13:31). She calls herself Mada, but I don't know about that. To progress, Madason must agree with her propositions. The conversation will go around in circles until he does. When Madason agrees, she will bestow upon the party ... a curse? Then, the woman reveals herself as Ferz, a purple people-eating cyclops.

After the scene, the party does battle with Queen Ferz (time 16:16). Queen Ferz has powerful physical attacks and breath attacks. She's kind of lame after fighting Bjørn.

Boosting defence with Kabuff will go a long way to protecting the party, as will Insulatle. Putting Oomph on the protagonist and the son is a great idea. If Sancho is using the Hela Hammer, though, he should not get Oomph, or it will kill his hit rate. Lena can lower Ferz's defence with Kasap and do single heals with the Staff of Salvation. And if the son knows Multiheal, it can help when Ferz does group attacks.

When Queen Ferz is defeated, Heorot, the Legendary Hero, reaches Level 31 (time 19:12). Baumren the Great Sabrecat reaches Level 29. Micheal the Healslime reaches Level 27.

After the battle, Ferz realizes that it is checkmate time for her (time 19:56). However, she seems to think that the party cannot defeat her boss, King Korol.

Afterwards, the party can get rid of their Curse status with the son's Sheen spell. The southwest slave will reveal something helpful about getting to the bottom of the Crocodilopolis (time 23:14).

Before doing that, though, this is an excellent opportunity to rest and save.

Thanks for watching!
