So last time, after leaving Edward's Castle, our party visited Itory Village and the Moon Tribe Camp. Our goal was to retrieve the two Incan Statues, one in each location, which we'll need to solve the Incan riddle in this video. With both statues in hand, Lilly takes us to the Incan Ruins, where we seek to climb the treacherous Larai Cliff.

This is definitely a longer video, which I'm happy to say even includes a boss fight! Now without further ado, let's jump right on in here.

CHAPTER 4 - LARAI CLIFF

This is a fairly large area, but if you think things through clearly, you'll see there's a clear path forward. If you're stuck remember to change over to Freedan. There's one monster that's inaccessible unless you're Freedan. Also don't forget to learn the Wind Melody. There's a door that leads outside, where you'll just be standing on an Incan statue head. You'll learn the Wind Melody in this spot. Without it, you can't proceed to the final part of this area.

Early on, you'll come across a room with two treasure chests. However, you'll only be able to access one for now. The other, you'll get towards the end, right before you change back to Will to play the Wind Melody in the room full of gold tiles. This second treasure chest contains Red Jewel #9.

In the gold room, play the Wind Melody to reveal a glowing tile. Supposedly, all you have to do is stand on this tile for several seconds to open the path forward. In the next area, you'll see a Dark Space portal, which gives you the chance to change back to Freedan. Gaia will warn you a big enemy is coming up and gives you battle hints.

Place both Incan statues on the slots below and stand on the tile to the left to be sent flying across the screen. You should land very close to a door, in there is the first boss, 'Castoth'.

BOSS BATTLE - CASTOTH

This guy's definitely easy. You'll first need to defeat his hands before the head is vulnerable. After taking a few hits, the cycle will repeat. Also after taking a few hits, Castoth will begin to shoot lasers. You can move behind him to dodge if you'd like. You should be able to beat him in 2-3 cycles. Use and Herb if you need more health.

After you beat him, you'll proceed to the room behind us. There's a pit, so obviously let's jump down there...

Ok, wasn't expecting that. We've landed on the Incan Gold Ship! The main thing you need to know here, is once your friends show up (Lilly, Lance) and you regain control, head all the way west and speak to Seth to get Red Jewel #10. Make sure to do this as soon as possible. If you miss this Red Jewel now, it's gone forever.

Eventually the ship will be attacked and Will and Kara will end up on a raft, adrift at sea. When the sequence plays out, you'll be in the outskirts of a town called Oakton. Kara will step outside to thank the dog for finding their raft. Check the pot to the right of the door for Red Jewel #11.

After Kara thanks the dog, she'll say it's time to head to the city of Freejia. It's time for us to take a break though.

That's it for now. Join us next time for 'Chapter 5 - Freejia'.
