Now that you've freed the Water Crystal, the areas north of the Libra Temple are yours!
Libra Temple Battlefield 3
Nothing here in the way of new enemies.
Clearing this one out gives Benjamin the Exit spell, which allows you to instantly exit dungeons! Yay!
Libra Temple Battlefield 4
Once again, nothing but familiar territory.
Clearing this battlefield out rewards you with 744 EXP.
Wintry Temple
There's not much here for now. That same symbol from that house in Aquaria is there. Perhaps this is the other side of that warp...?
Focus Tower
You'll meet the old man on the cloud again. He'll mention that Captain Mac left for a reason, and that you should seek Reuben in Fireburg. He also mentions the statue next to him before he flies off.
Bomb the sealed hole in the wall, and open the chest. Since you have the Venus Key, you'll be able to open it and get the Venus Shield. It protects Benjamin from Paralyze ailments, which is pretty useful.
Moving the statue will get you where you want to go, so push it to the gap between the two parts of the second floor you can't access...yet.
Leave Focus Tower, then re-enter from the point that you entered this region from in the first place. Open the blue door with the River Coin, and you'll finally be able to hop across. The stairs to the third floor now give you the best Cure Potion restock point in the entire game, so make good use of it.
On your way to Fireburg, the ground will shake. Ignore the battlefields for now and head to Fireburg.
Fireburg
When you enter the Hotel, you'll find a man that sells Seeds, so if you're running low, you can buy some here. You'll also run into Tristam at the bar. Long time no see!
The band here plays a variation of "Johnny B. Good" (or some other Chuck Berry song) which is rather interesting to listen to, to say the least.
The house next to it is Reuben's house. Talk to him, and you'll find out you'll have to rescue his dad from the Volcano. He'll then join your party. You'll have to find his dad's friend to get the Mega Grenade.
Reuben's Flame Armor protects him from Fire, which works quite nicely here. Just remember to save and reset the game for it to take effect. His Morning Star is considered an Axe weapon, and it's pretty powerful. His HP is also quite high. His only spell is Life, which is better than nothing.
A house in the south has a woman who will sell her Battle Axe for 500 GP. Take it, it's much stronger than Kaeli's axe. Going downstairs here displays yet another warp tile...and it's that same symbol. Hmmm...
The house in the bit near the hotel has the guy you're looking for, but the door's locked. Head back to the Hotel and talk to Tristam; he'll give you the Multi-key so you can pick the lock.
Go in, and talk to the guy inside. He'll give you your third Bomb weapon: the Mega Grenade. These are even more powerful than the Jumbo Bomb. He'll then tell you to go through the Mine to reach the boulder that's strapping Reuben's father, Arion. Going downstairs here will give you another symbol tile. I wonder...
Anyway, pressing A with the Mega Grenades equipped will throw one Mega Grenade four spaces ahead in whatever direction you're currently facing, which is pretty nifty. Remember that for later, as you'll need to throw it to reach some sealed doors.
