brickroadbrickroad and SovanJedi play Secret of Evermore - Part 26 of 88


We cross through the desert and do some not trading due to our lack of funds. Do yourself a favor, get some Jewels in advance the next time you play this game.

The Desert


Map

Oh, boy. You'll be going north until you see a brick wall. Until then, get near the oases to refill your health. There's four of them, and it'll be a bit of a walk until you reach the next one. Your health will steadily go down as you cross the desert, so be careful and don't let the enemies give you a hard time.

The Tumbleweeds are just a pain in the butt, and the spiders here will Poison you if given the chance.

There is a skeleton on a boat that'll take you quickly to the other side, but he wants an Amulet of Annihilation...and you don't have that. You'll just have to tough it out.

There is an Alchemist in this area, but he's hard to find and they won't find him until later on in the blog series.

Nobilia Market



You have only a handful of minutes before the crowd disappears to see the Sacred Dog statue. Your job here is purchase stuff with your Jewels and try to trade for as much stuff as possible.

If you talk to the fortune teller enough times, he'll ask the gods to strike him down if they exist. You'll have a choice of three things for the gods to turn him into: a chicken, a goat, and a basket. Press the B button when you reach this part, and he'll thank you for saving him from the wrath of the powers that be and reward you with a Stone Vest.

You should definitely get the Stone Vest, the Obsidian Helmet and the Bronze Gauntlet before the crowd disappears. There's a reason for that which I will mention a little later on. Don't worry about losing the Jade Disk, you'll be able to get it again later on in the game.

If you buy a bunch of pots, you'll find jewels in them at times. Also, sometimes when you buy a tablet, you'll find a rather strange inscription on them that The Boy will read. Weird...

Do not press B near the chickens over and over again. The game will warn you, and if you keep doing it again...well, you'll find out. You can also "talk" to the goats if you want.

The best way to stock up on trading goods is to buy some rice, spice and beads. Then, you work your way around from there.

If you have a lot of rice, you can get some Amulets of Annihilation from one of the booths. It costs 30 Rice for one Amulet. You can go down to 15 Rice, but if you go any further down in price, he won't sell to you again. If for some reason, you keep turning down his prices, you can get 3 Amulets for 1 Rice at the risk of not being able to get any more.
