Previously, Davilas the human completed the Gaatoranto story and acquired his Red Key Emblem. Then, he arrived in the Elf capital, Kamiharumui, and began the storyline for his eighth Key Emblem. Another good reason to come to Kamiharumui is to take on Quest 097, which raises the level cap from Level 50 to Level 55.

From the northern section of the city of Kamiharumui, he exits to the Northern Kamiharumui countryside (time 2:58). He heads northwest to the exit to the Rakuyo Grassland at B-2.

By the river at E-5, there is a red chest containing 3 fancy branches (time 5:48).

On a brown spot at C-6, there is a red chest containing a Superior Medicine (time 8:11).

At B-2, he exits north to the Rakuyo Grassland (time 11:47). A cutscene takes place the first time your character enters the area. An old supervillain, Estark, makes an appearance, and he totally wrecks a perfectly nice encampment. Fortunately, some good folks chase him off for the time being.

When the scene is over, Davilas begins exploring the Rakuyo Grassland (time 16:11).

At northern B-7, there is a black chest containing a yellow-green gem (time 18:32). Nearby there is a person running a vault (time 19:04). Next to her is a vocation-changer.

At the southwestern encampment, Davilas sets a Ruura Stone for this unfortunate place (time 21:19). At least it's not like some of those unfortunate villages in Lufia II where everyone died.

By the chasm of light at B-8, Chamimi offers Quest 097, which raises the level cap to Level 55 (time 23:57). This requires Level 46 at minimum. She needs an item that drops from Megazaru Rocks, or Bomboulders. They appear north of Glen in small numbers around dangerous enemies. They also appear in greater numbers far south of Gatara.

So, Davilas zooms over to Glen (time 25:31). There, he takes the train over to Gatara (time 26:19).

After picking up some Dol Serin, he exits to the Gatara countryside (time 28:58).

From there, he goes south to the Saamari Plateau via the F-7 exit (time 30:59).

In Saamari Plateau, he heads towards the southeast exit to Zaguban Hills. Look out for powerful enemies, especially the Balzack-like foes on the bridges.

A lone priest can be found at H-5 near the Zaguban exit (time 32:47). Setting a Ruura Stone here may be a good idea.

Then, at H-6, Davilas heads to Zaguban Hills (time 33:40). The Megazaru Rocks (Bomboulders) can be found in the area's many craters. Watch out for them to cast Kerplunk, or Megazaru, to commit suicide and revive their dead allies. If you have a Mage, silencing them may not be a bad idea. Also look out for their powerful criticals. Maybe I should have named my character Cannock. Having HP around 300 will greatly help with survival. Their normal attacks are not to be sniffed at, either.

By the fallen meteorite at C-2, there are farming spots for Royal Soil (time 37:15).

After smacking around some Bomboulders, Davilas finally gets the drop he needs (time 43:48).

Then, Davilas zooms back to the encampment in the Rakuyo Grassland (time 44:27). There, he delivers the item from the Bomboulder to Chamimi at B-8 (time 45:10).

At the end of the lovely scene, Davilas's level cap is now raised to Level 55 (time 47:12). Based on what Chamimi says, I think the quest to raise the level cap to Level 60 can be started at Rangao Mountain beginning at Level 51.

Afterwards, Davilas zooms back to Kamiharumui (time 48:30). Then, he heads north in search of the Abandoned Castle for the Kamiharumui storyline.

North of the city, he exits to the Phantom Forest at F-5 (time 50:16). As he enters the Phantom Forest, there is a cutscene with a couple of ghostly forms. Afterwards, Davilas will have to head east to the Abandoned Castle at H-4/H-5.

A black chest is in the southeast at F-6 (time 53:03). It contains 3 Magic Vials, but it is guarded by a fearsome King Lizard.

At G-4, on the eastern side of a broken bridge, there is a black chest containing a Green Eye (time 55:58).

At H-4/H-5, Davilas exits east to the Abandoned Castle (time 56:23). As he enters, there is a scene with King Nikoroi.

After regaining control, Davilas must head east (time 57:35). He must enter the castle doors at D-6 (time 58:20). This triggers a scene with King Nikoroi and our old pal Kyuusuke. There is a scene with Nikoroi as a young prince, his guard Kaku, his sister Princess Rita, and his mother Agushuna. Young Princess Rita does something very unprincesslike. The queen drops a ring that falls at Nikoroi's feet. What a terrible thing for a young boy to witness. Kyuusuke tells Davilas to go back to Kamiharumui to talk with the minister.
