Previously, Rydia joined forces with Cecil in Kaipo. They found Rosa and learned that they need a Sand Pearl to cure her desert fever. As they began traversing the Underground Waterway to Damcyan, they joined forces with Tellah the Sage. They reached the small mountain valley between the two sections of the Underground Waterway. Now, they will continue on their way.
Underground Lake (time 0:46):
The party enters the Underground Falls, the start of the second section of the Underground Waterway. It is much shorter than the first part of the dungeon.
The party dives down the falls to floor B2 of the Underground Lake.
Tellah reaches Level 16. Rydia reaches Level 14.
The two chests in the south of the floor contain a set of Hades Gloves and a Hades Helm. Cecil equips these mediocre upgrades right away.
Cecil the Dark Knight reaches Level 16.
In the northwest, the party heads upstairs to floor B1 of the Underground Lake.
Nearby, they find Namingway/Going-my-way. This is one of the locations where they can find him.
In the southeast of B1, one chest contains a suit of Hades Armor, which Cecil equips. Nearby, another chest contains Hermes Sandals.
In the north of the pool, a scene takes place as the party approaches the tentacles blocking the exit. It is boss time against the Octomammoth! The number of tentacles remaining is an indication of the Octomammoth's remaining HP. When it is down to two tentacles remaining, look out for stronger attacks.
After the battle, Tellah reaches Level 17. Cecil the Dark Knight reaches Level 17. Rydia jumps from Level 14 to Level 16. She learns the White Magic spell Raise and the Black Magic spell Stop.
A brief scene takes place afterwards. The party exits through the waterfall.
Overworld (time 11:02):
As the party heads north towards Damcyan Castle, a scene takes place. Oh, no! The party continues north and enters the castle.
Damcyan Castle (time 11:46):
Tellah unequips himself before the party goes any further.
To the northeast, the party enters the Damcyan Castle Dungeons. In the northeast of the room, they operate a switch to open a secret passage into the cells.
In the middle cell, a chest contains a Power Bow. In the western cell, chests contain a Feathered Cap and a Ruby Ring. Both good.
In the west of the dungeons, there is a hidden stairway leading downstairs to B1. The northern row of chests contains a Potion, an Antidote, and Eye Drops. In the northeast corner, a hidden container holds Iron Arrows. A hidden container in the southeast contains Holy Arrows. The southern row of chests contains a Gold Needle, a Phoenix Down, and an Ether. In the southwest corner, a hidden container holds an Elixir.
The party heads upstairs and leaves the dungeons. After checking out the castle's exterior, they head north and enter the castle. All these poor soldiers. Too bad Rosa isn't with the party right now.
On floor 2F, a chest contains a Tent.
On floor 3F, a scene takes place when the party examines the unfortunate Anna. The Fire Crystal has been stolen. Sadly, Tellah leaves the party to seek vengeance against Golbez. Edward, Prince of Damcyan, joins the party. He provisions them with a Hovercraft so they can travel east to the Antlion's Den and get a Sand Pearl.
Edward joins the party at Level 9. His special ability is Bardsong. He starts with Lullaby, which induces sleep; Alluring Air, which inflicts confusion; and Silent Verse, which inflicts silence. You can choose his song, which actually makes him useful in this version. Edward can also use Salve, which uses curative items on the entire party. He comes with the Dream Harp, a Feathered Cap, a Bard's Tunic, and a Ruby Ring.
Overworld (time 22:12):
After the scene, we gain control of the party aboard the Hovercraft outside Damcyan Castle.
This time around, the party gives Edward a couple of augments: Auto-Potion and Eye Gouge from the previous playthrough. Now, they will get all his augments when they meet him in Troia.
The party reenters Damcyan Castle.
Damcyan Castle (time 23:33):
Up on the third floor, the party uses the healing pots to recover. They also chat with a couple of NPCs that they overlooked in he first playthrough.
When they are done, they leave the castle.
Overworld (time 25:17):
The party boards the Hovercraft and heads east. Across some shoals, they find a cave entrance. This leads them into the Antlion's Den.
The description is continued in the comments.
