Previously, the party began exploring the Dragovian Path, a post-completion dungeon accessed by an altar east of Baccarat. They made their way through the first two zones.

The party takes the stairway down to the third zone (time 0:06). They go outside and cross a high path to a cave with toxic marsh.

In the cave with toxic marsh, one red chest is a Pandora's Box (time 1:15). The neighboring red chest contains Mini Medal #122 (time 2:03). The Mini Medal chest is new to the 3DS version.

The party continues down the path at the far end of the cave. The path splits, but it is a loop. They soon find an exit to another high path. There are two side paths.

The side path to the left leads to a locked red chest (time 4:48). It contains an Elfin Elixir.

The side path to the right leads to another locked red chest (time 5:24). It contains a Metal King Spear, the best spear in the game.

Continuing along the main path, the party enters another cavern.

They step on a warp tile (time 7:15). It transports them to the fourth zone of the Dragovian Path. Dangerous Belials and Invisible Swordsmen appear here.

On the outside part of the path, the party finds a grave marker (time 12:01). The inscribed name may be familiar if you spoke to everyone in one of the game's castle towns.

In the next cavern, the party takes a path to the right. They find a red chest with Mini Medal #123 (time 12:38). This is new to the 3DS version.

The party returns to the main path and continues on. Soon, they find the exit from the Dragovian Path (time 13:17). They arrive at the entrance to the Dragovian Sanctuary.

A scene takes place when they examine the doors ahead (time 14:49). They open under mysterious circumstances.

Another scene takes place as the party approaches the spire past the doors (time 16:55). They meet Chen Mui, a friendly Dragovian who offers to be their guide. But isn't it odd how he just happened to appear right ahead of them? There's something fishy going on.

As the party enters the town area ahead, another scene takes place (time 19:07). Poor Chen Mui is taken aback by the state of the town.

The party Zooms to Princess Minnie's Castle (time 20:28).

They turn in their Mini Medals to Princess Minnie (time 20:51). They have turned in 123 Mini Medals now. For a total of 121 Mini Medals, she rewards them with a Flail of Destruction for Yangus. When the total reaches 127 Mini Medals, she will give them a Kaleidoscope.

Morrie uses the Seed of Skill the party found in the Dragovian Path and obtains 5 skill points. He puts these skill points into Boomerangs for a total of 88.

In the Alchemy Pot, the party combines the Thanatos' Shield with an urn of Saint's Ashes. This results in a Goddess Shield. Jessica equips the Goddess Shield.

Now, the party will work on earning more money. They Zoom to Pickham (time 23:14). They visit the Pickham Casino prize counter (time 23:46). There, they get 99 Agility Rings for 1,000 tokens apiece. It appears that they will need to do some more gambling to build up their token supply again.

Next, the party Zooms to Peregrin Quay (time 24:17). They visit the southeast item shop in the quay's marketplace (time 24:53). They pick up 99 Bandanas for 45 gold apiece.

The party Zooms to Orkutsk (time 25:12). They visit the armour shop during the day (time 25:46). They buy 99 Iron Headgears for 5,500 gold apiece.

Then, it is time for the alchemy (time 26:03). First, the party makes 99 Mercury's Bandanas (Bandana + Agility Ring). Then, they make 99 Kunoichi Headbands (Iron Headgear + Mercury's Bandana).

They sell the Kunoichi Headbands to the shop (time 26:52). The sale price is 10,000 gold apiece, resulting in 990,000 gold.

The party Zooms to Arcadia (time 27:40).

At the inn, they rest until evening (time 28:25).

They visit the Mystery Mart at night (time 28:58). They pick up another Seed of Skill for 100,000 gold. Red uses it to obtain 5 skill points. She puts them into Roguery for a total of 94.

The party Zooms back to the Dragovian Sanctuary (time 29:49). Next time they will explore this, the last town in the game.

Thanks for watching!
