Previously, the party ascended El Monumento de Pomposo near El Ciclo in the present. They now have the fragments they need to go to the next region.

After resuming, the party Zooms to the Shrine of Mysteries (time 0:40).

First, they slot two Green Fragments in the upper-right Green Pedestal (time 1:02). Green Fragment 10, from the cellar of the southwest house in present-day El Ciclo, goes on the right-hand side. Green Fragment 11, from the fifth floor of El Monumento de Pomposo, goes in the lower-left.

Then, they complete the lower-right Yellow Pedestal. Yellow Fragment 16, from the fifth floor of El Monumento de Pomposo, goes in the lower-right.

When complete, the lower-right Yellow Pedestal whisks the party off to the game's twelfth benighted region (time 2:20).

Northeast of the teleportal, a chest contains 400 gold (time 3:20).

South of the teleportal, the party finds the village of Hardlypool (time 3:56). It was called Avon in the PlayStation version. In exploring this town, they hear tell of a traveling musician, who headed on to the next town. In the southeast, there is a tunnel leading to the next town, but it is off-limits at night.

Outside the northwest house, one barrel contains 20 gold (time 4:27). Inside the house, I believe the little boy's sleep-talking is an allusion to the song "Ol' Man River" from the musical "Showboat".

Outside the western house, a pot contains a Medicinal Herb (time 5:55).

Upstairs in the northeast house, a chest of drawers contains Mini Medal #045 (time 9:21).

Downstairs in the northeast house, the party talks to the mayor (time 10:07). After a little Q&A, she will let the party spend the night for free. At night, some vaguely familiar music will play. When the party wakes up, something strange has happened in town.

In the southeast of town, the party goes downstairs to Hardlypool Tunnel, floor B1 (time 11:51). There is a locked door here.

The party goes downstairs to floor B2 (time 12:16).

In the room east of the stairway, a pot contains a Moonwort Bulb (time 14:08). A chest contains Mini Medal #046.

Davilas reaches Gladiator Rank 5, Middleweight (time 15:23). He learns the abilities Weird Whacker and Klepto Clobber.

At the southern end, the party ascends the stairway and arrives outside (time 16:26).

Continuing south, they find themselves on the world map in the southwest part of the region (time 16:31).

A short distance south, they find the Church Near Hardlypool (time 17:19).

Farther to the south, the party finds the fishing village of Spilton-on-Sea (time 18:26). It was named Huzu in the PlayStation version. This town does not escape Maribel's criticism! It sounds like the traveling musician has also been here.

In the central shack, a barrel contains a Seed of Life (time 22:34).

In the southwest house, a wardrobe contains an un-valuable Leather Hat (time 23:47).

Outside the southwest house, a barrel contains an Antidotal Herb (time 24:21).

In the pub downstairs in the inn, a barrel contains Mini Medal #047 (time 25:43). Heck yeah!

In the inn, the party decides to spend the night (time 26:45). It sounds like the musician is heading east towards the next town. More puzzling events occur afterwards.

The party leaves Spilton-on-Sea (time 28:34).

They check the Church Near Hardlypool (time 28:57). However, nothing new happens here.

The party proceeds to the southeast part of the region (time 29:25).

The road leads northeast to the largest town in the area, Wetlock (time 30:05). It was named Hamelia in the PlayStation version, which was also appropriate, as we'll eventually see.

They make a beeline to the church to save. Next time, they will explore Wetlock and see if they can find that traveling musician.

Thanks for watching!
