Previously, the party finished gathering Ultimate Key Treasures. Now, they will start looking for the sea chart that they can use to reach the Godbird Isle so they can find Empyrea so they can catch up with Sir Leopold.

After resuming in Farebury, they consult with Kalderasha (time 1:26). He speaks of a cave along a river. Intriguing!

Then, the party Zooms to Savella Cathedral (time 2:36). It is located under the Lord High Priest's mansion, which is where Marek said Sir Leopold was heading.

After some party chat, the party enters Savella Cathedral's exterior (time 4:10).

A sailor in Savella has useful information about where to go next (time 5:56). The cave is under a bridge along a river on the eastern continent. And the sailor speaks of a certain Captain Crow.

In the inn, a man at the table has further information about Captain Crow (time 7:29). An amazing map, eh? Sounds like just what the party needs.

Some of the other folks around Savella have troubling things to say.

Afterwards, the party Zooms to the Pirate's Cove (time 12:49). The Pirate's Cove is under the bridge along the river just west of Alexandria. The party came to the cove in search of treasures just after obtaining the ship. Now, with the Ultimate Key, they can get farther in.

The party boards the ship to leave temporarily (time 13:49). They show the cave's location. Also, they put Morrie in the party in place of Angelo.

The party reenters the Pirate's Cove, Level 1 (time 14:26).

With the Ultimate Key, they open the northeast door (time 15:35). Red arrives aboard her pirate, er, private ship, "The Classy Lady". She is here in search of Captain Crow's treasure. So, now the party has some competition. Yangus is not pleased.

Affter the scene, the party takes the northeast stairway down to Level 2 (time 19:57).

In the first room to the east, a barrel contains a phial of Magic Water (time 20:34). A neighboring barrel contains Mini Medal #082.

In the southeast room, a chest contains 3,500 gold (time 21:17). In the PS2 version, it contained the dungeon map.

There is a prison area in the northwest. In the eastern cell, a pot contains Mini Medal #083 (time 22:42).

Captain Crow's study is in the northeast.

One of the bookshelves along the west wall contains the book 'Evil Weapons' (time 25:57). It teaches the recipe for the Demon Spear: Battle Fork, the Devil's Tail, and a Poison Needle. However, the party has already made one.

The neighboring bookshelf contains an old and tattered diary (time 26:24). Could Captain Crow be the author?

Along the east wall, a bookshelf contains the book 'Principles of Pirate Dress' (time 27:12). It teaches the recipe Dogsbody's Vest = Bandit Mail + Plain Clothes + Coral Hairpin. This was not in the PS2 version.

The neighboring bookshelff contains a Simpleton's diary (time 27:56). It teaches the recipe Raging Bull Helm = Mythril Helm + Cowpat + Fresh Milk.

The party talks to Red in Captain Crow's study (time 28:45).

Then, they examine the wall behind the chair at the desk (time 29:05). They turn the wheel, and a secret door opens. A brief scene with Red takes place.

The party Evacs out of the Pirate's Cove (time 30:34).

They Zoom to Princess Minnie's Castle (time 30:54).

There, they report to Princess Minnie (time 31:18). For turning in a total of 83 Mini Medals, she rewards them with a piece of Orichalcum, a most excellent material. When the total reaches 90 Mini Medals, she will give them a Metal King Helm.

In the Alchemy Pot, the party mixes the Orichalcum, a Gold Nugget, and a phial of Yggdrasil Dew. This produces a Sage's Stone. A Sage's Stone can be used in battle to restore 60 or more HP to each party member.

The party Zooms to the Hilltop Hut to rest and save (time 33:48).

Next time, they will continue exploring the Pirate's Cove.

Thanks for watching!
