We are currently in the postgame. Previously, the party finished the third of Nerusen's trial bosses. Now, he will work on forging a new Hero's Sword. As before, he will need some Orichalcum, the Gaia Hammer, and the key to the smithy in Hinonogi Volcano. He already has Orichalcum, which he can find in the Battlefield in the Sky. Now, he will work on getting the other things.
The party zooms to Samadii (time 1:13). Now, the Gaia Hammer is the prize for the Platinum Cup, which becomes available when the game is completed.
So at the racetrack, they begin racing the Platinum Cup (time 2:38).
After the establishing shot, the race begins (time 3:34). It is a three-lap race. Be sure to run up the ramps to get stamina back. Look out for lots of obstacles, especially braziers. Davilas manages to pull ahead at the last moment to win.
Afterwards, the party receives their reward: the Gaia Hammer (time 5:08). For participating, they also earn a Platinum Ore.
Next, the party zooms to Homura (time 5:51).
A man at the base of the western stairway has story information (time 6:35). Has Yayaku gone to Hinonogi Volcano?
The man outside the item shop also has story information (time 6:57). He is looking for Orichalcum to make the Champion's Sword. The party cannot hand it over just yet.
The party zooms to Homusubi Mountains (time 8:29).
East of camp, they enter Hinonogi Volcano (time 9:45). They head into the volcanic cave (time 10:34).
On the lower level, they find Yayaku next to the Fire Weredragon (time 13:29). She needs the Ra Drop to help help turn Harima back to normal. The Ra Drop can be found in Tengi Valley, the replica of the Valley of Monsters, in the Guru's Trial area.
The party hands over the Ra Drop right away (time 14:11). Some good stuff happens afterwards.
Everyone returns to Homura afterwards (time 17:10). In the northwest, the party talks to Yayaku (time 17:54). She gives the party the key to the legendary smithy.
They also talk to Harima (time 18:52). He gives the party a sword for Camus, though it isn't as good as the sword they found in the Infernal Castle.
The party zooms back to Homusubi Mountains (time 20:06). To the east, they enter Hinonogi Volcano (time 21:07).
In the northwest, they enter the Forbidden Chamber (time 22:02). Davilas examines the spot at the ledge (time 22:35). The legendary smithy appears, without the pomp and ceremony of before.
The party examines the raised platform in the middle of the smithy (time 23:02). When prompted, the party uses the Gaia Hammer and the Orichalcum. They end up with a second Hero's Sword! They will be able to upgrade this using the recipe earned during Nerusen's trial.
The party zooms back to the town of Homura (time 25:22). They rest and save.
Next time, they will work on getting the other things they need to upgrade the Hero's Sword.
Thanks for watching!
