Previously, the party arrived in Castle Palamecia. They explored the first four floors and reached floor 5F. Now, they will continue exploring the castle to find the Dark Knight.

Directly west of the stairway, they find the first stairway leading up to floor 6F (time 1:11). They arrive in the eastern part of the area.

South of the stairway, a chest contains the Sun Blade (time 1:16). It is guarded by a monster-in-a-box encounter with a Lamia Queen and Coeurls. The Lamia Queen can drop a Ribbon, so that's a consideration.

In the northeast, the party ascends to floor 7F (time 5:35).

In the west-central part of the area, a door leads to another treasure trove (time 6:43). The chests within contain three Elixirs! Nice!

The party backtracks down to floor 6F (time 7:26) and then down to floor 5F (time 9:44).

In the northwest of 5F, the party takes the other stairway up to floor 6F (time 12:07).

In the southeast, the party ascends to floor 7F (time 14:14). They arrive in the eastern corridor of this floor.

In the northeast, they go upstairs to floor 8F (time 15:00). They have reached the top floor.

There are two chests in the northwest corner (time 17:03). They contain a Hellfire and a Wind Flute.

In the throne room in the north-center, the party finally catches up with the Dark Knight, Leon (time 18:28). Ricard is about to leave the party, so confiscate anything you don't want to lose, but don't leave him defenseless. Leon is addicted to the power of the imperial throne. However, before the former friends can come to blows, the Emperor returns, resurrected by the powers of Hell. Ricard tells the party to escape on the Wyvern and gives them time to escape. As the party flees, demonic spires replace Castle Palamecia. And so Ricard, too, has died.

The party and Leon arrive at Castle Fynn (time 22:19). Leon joins the party in the fight against the Emperor.

The party gains control on floor 3F of Castle Fynn (time 23:49). Leon will be with the party for the rest of the game. His highest skill is in axes. You may have a Rune Axe or two that have dropped from strong enemies, so they are good for him. His HP is lacking, but that should improve.

The party talks to Princess Hilda (time 24:20). Once upon a time, the monsters of Hell poured into the world from a pathway called the "Jade Passage", another term the party must learn. Asked about the Jade Passage, she says that there is a place in Mysidia that goes by that name.

They talk to Leila (time 24:54). Asked about the Jade Passage, she says that the strait to the east of Mysidia is called the Jade Sea. Maybe the passage is in that area.

Then, they talk to Gordon (time 25:09). He calls the palace that emerged in the place of Castle Palamecia Pandaemonium, the fortress of the lord of Hell. Sounds auspicious. When asked about the Jade Passage, he refers to a small lake in Mysidia that takes those who enter to Hell. So, it sounds like what we're looking for is in the Mysidia continent.

The party also talks to their buddy Paul (time 27:49). He's got some amusing stuff to say.

After resting up and restocking, they fly to Castle Deist (time 29:56). Talking to Kain's mother, Elina, they ask her about Dragoons. She and her son plan to leave Deist behind. However, as thanks for the party's help, she gives them the sword Excalibur. Now we're talking!

The party rests back in Fynn. Next time, they will begin exploring the Jade Passage on the way to Pandaemonium.

Thanks for watching!
