Walkthrough / Playthrough
Steam Description: Long, long ago, there was an ancient kingdom called Ys which prospered under the auspices of two heavenly Goddesses. Over time, the kingdom came to be known as Esteria, and its divine history was largely forgotten by all but the descendants of those who once preached the Goddesses’ will. The only reminder of this lost lore was a cursed spire at the foot of a giant crater, which locals came to regard as “The Devil’s Tower.”
Eventually, the men and women who called Esteria their home began mining a uniquely radiant silver from the nearby mountains, and development boomed. Towns were built, and the land became rich with life.
Then, all at once, monsters began to appear. Only a few at first – but soon enough, the land was swarming with them, and the Esterians had no choice but to hide in fear, remaining ever vigilant just to stay alive.
Our story begins with a young man who’d heard rumors of these misfortunes, and strove to verify them with his own eyes; a brave swordsman with an adventurous spirit bolstered by his own youthful naiveté.
His name was Adol Christin.
With no regard for his own safety, Adol set sail toward Esteria through a heretofore impassable barrier of neverending storms. There, he was destined to become ensconced within a 700 year-old mystery that would ultimately take him to a long-lost land nestled amongst the clouds...
Ys I & II Chronicles+ is the most modernized and up-to-date remake of Falcom’s classic franchise-spawning action RPGs from 1987 and 1988. Come see how the story began, and witness the birth of a legend!

Yes, the second link is for the DS version, but the maps should be similar enough for most of the dungeons. It's better than nothing.

Despite this dungeon's appearance, outside HP regen doesn't seem to work. Fortunately, there's a cape accessory that can regen HP even indoors.
Some enemies are so fast and durable that fire magic will be harder to use against them, since they can break through your barrage and hit you. You may be better off save scumming against the Swoffs so you can attempt to melee them.
As usual, you'll need key items like Stone Shoes and Anti-Illusion Mirror to reach the boss room.
[ 20:38 ] Boss: Tyalmath
Don't let him land on you, or you'll take massive damage. Your best bet to use homing fire charged shots on him is the moment he lands, since the ice spikes that soon sprout will block your fire.
Also, after the boss, there's a hidden passage in the boss room that leads to the hole where Tyalmath jumped out of. There's a chest with some gold in it.
