Previously, the party returned to Vector. At the Imperial Palace, they had a banquet with Emperor Gestahl. If he can be believed, the war is over. Terra and Locke also took the ship from Albrook to Crescent Island. When they arrived, they were teamed up with Shadow. Now, the party will check out the town of Thamasa.

Overworld:

The party resumes outside the town of Thamasa on Crescent Island's northeastern peninsula. Before they proceed, Shadow unequips all his equipment and the Esper Seraph. As quickly as he joined, he will soon be leaving. Terra equips a Golden Shield.

The party enters Thamasa.

Thamasa (time 0:44):

The party already came to Thamasa and gathered the five items that were available outdoors. However, the locals were not welcoming.

This time, the people of Thamasa are a little more receptive. However, they remain a bit evasive. The shops will sell to the party. At the weapon shop, the party picks up some Flame Rods, Ice Rods, and Thunder Rods. These Rods cast powerful elemental magic when used as items in battle, BUT they break. The party also grabs a Heavy Lance and Darts.

At the armor shop, the party picks up a Tiger Mask. For Terra, they get a Mystery Veil. They get a couple of Power Sashes, one for Locke. They get a couple of Gaia Gears; these absorb Earth-elemental damage.

The Relic shop has nothing new, but it has a good selection.

The inn still charges a whopping 1,500 gil per night.

Just northeast of the Elder's House, a scene takes place as the party observes an interaction between a girl and her mother. Huh ... that's a bit odd.

In the northeast of town, another scene takes place as the party observes a little boy. Curious.

In the house east of the Elder's House, the party talks to a man with a white wisp of hair and a white mustache. A scene takes place. This guy's default name is Strago. He claims not to know about Espers. The party also meets Strago's granddaughter, whose default name is Relm. She instantly bonds with Interceptor, for some reason. However, Strago maintains that no one in Thamasa knows of Espers.

After the scene, the party gains control outside Strago's house. They go back inside. Upstairs, there is a hidden treasure in the wall west of the table: a Memento Ring relic. The Memento Ring provides immunity to instant death, but only Shadow and Relm can equip it. The party has now found all 6 items in Thamasa.

Since the party has talked to Strago, some of the townspeople provide additional information.

At the weapon shop, the party grabs a Morning Star.

The party leaves town.

Overworld (time 12:07):

Terra equips an Icebrand. The party saves. Then, they reenter town.

Thamasa (time 12:37):

The party heads to the inn in the northwest. Shadow will be leaving the party after they stay at the inn, so be sure to unequip him if you want to use his gear on someone else.

The party talks to the innkeeper. Now that they have talked to Strago, he only charges 1 gil per night! Wonderful!

However, an event takes place at night. Strago needs some help. Terra and Locke run off to help. Shadow only seems worried about Interceptor.

Terra and Locke find that the large eastern house is on fire. When they talk to Strago, a scene takes place. The townspeople's efforts to put out the fire do not work. So, the party will join Strago to go in and save Relm.

Burning Home (time 18:25):

The party gains control in the Burning Home. Strago the Blue Mage has joined them at Level 21. He comes equipped with a Mythril Rod, a Mythril Shield, a Plumed Hat, and a Cotton Robe. He equips an Ice Rod, a Priest's Miter, a Gaia Gear, a Peace Ring, and a White Cape.

Strago's special command is Lore. Lores are Blue Magic abilities that Strago learns from enemies. Strago comes with the Lores Aqua Breath, Revenge Blast, Stone. Aqua Breath is imminently useful in the Burning Home. Strago also equips the Esper Seraph to start learning healing spells.

The Burning Home is a one-time dungeon. If the party misses both chests here, they cannot come back to get them later.

As the party steps north, a brief scene takes place.

The party continues north to the second room. Touching the enemies results in an encounter with a troop of Balloons. They are weak to ice and water, so Blizzara and Aqua Breath will take them out quickly.

Locke reaches Level 23.
