World Map

Altea

Map

Go to the King's room. The King will make Gordon the Commander in Chief of the Rebel Army. He'll ask Minh to lift the forbidden seal, and Minh obliges.

The King will ask you to find the Dragoons. Their home in Dist have been destroyed, but there may be a few survivors. He then passes away.

Talk around. You'll find out Dist is on a distant island in the eastern sea.

Talk to Gordon in the throne room to Learn a new keyword: Dragoon. Ask him about Dragoons, and he'll tell you that they are the only ones to understand the language of Hiryuu. Learn "Hiryuu." A Hiryuu might still exist.

It'll take a while to head down to Dist, since you can't walk to it. Head to Palm.

Palm

Map

When you head to Palm, you'll see a girl near the entrance. Talk to her. This is Layla, and her ship is about to head over there. She'll wait outside the town for you.

Leave Palm and head to the ship that's directly east of the town. In the middle of your voyage, she tells you to give her all your stuff and she'll spare you. She then sics her entire crew on you.

Draw.

The Pirates are really, really easy. When you beat them all, she gives up and asks you to kill her quickly. 

DAT BOO BOX

Your party has other ideas, and ask her to join your party. She agrees.

The Gold Hairpin she has equipped is really useful, so put it in your inventory if you actually want to power her up. It increases the wearer's Agility by 10 and has no Magic Penalty.

Equip weapons into her left hand in case you give her a shield, so her attack power doesn't seriously suffer. If you have the Gouche knife, equip it on her. She also has a Bolt spell that will come into play against a few creatures.

The isle of Dist is just east of Bofsk.
