HCBailly plays Secret of Evermore - Part 5 of 31

All maps by Grizzly.

Quicksand Field



When you head west, you'll appear at the big field with the Skelesnails. Chop the underbrush down with the axe and you're out of there. Now go and head back to the village. If you chop up more of the underbrush here and go north, you'll just go to a useless (for now) area. It's possible to find some alchemy ingredients here if you cut the plant life down around here, so it wouldn't hurt to go here at the moment.

Fire Eyes's Village


Head back to Fire Eyes's hut. She'll tell you that the village is facing a new crisis: the volcano north of the village is cooling down, and she wants you to find out what's causing this. She'll also tell you about her uncle, who lived on the mansion on the hill back in Podunk, where she is also originally from. She'll also tell you about his machine which took people to a world of their own design. Not surprisingly, since she liked all things prehistoric, she was taken here. Something obviously went wrong, as the few hours she spent here has now become a few decades.

That's not all. She'll also give you a few Call Beads, which allow you to cast some powerful spells. Hold on to these for much later. You may never know when you'll need them. Then she'll give you a demonstration of her powers which explains why they call her "Fire Eyes."

Also, remember the gourds I told you not to touch? Go to them now. One of the gourds will have a Call Bead instead of a Biscuit. Also, some guy will show up that you can talk to. He'll give you the Defend formula.

Defend
1 Clay, 1 Ash

This will temporarily increase your defense, so level it up!

Jungle


Go back through the jungle area south of the village. Cut down the underbrush whenever you see it. Not only will you find some more monsters and alchemy ingredients (as well as a free Shell Hat in a gourd), you'll also find Strong Heart's hut. Go in and he'll give you another spell: Cure. Equip this, it acts as a Alchemy version of the Essence item.

Cure
2 Roots, 1 Oil

You can also purchase some ingredients from him, too.

If you talk to Strong Heart as The Dog, you'll get a free Leather Collar.

Path to Mammoth Graveyard



Time to go north of the village after all that leveling up.

The Carniflowers are palette swaps of the Wimpy Flowers, with one noticeable difference: if they hit you, they can eat you and do some extra damage before spitting you back out. Hitting them with 100% strikes from the ax will help, as will using the weapon you'll get later on. If your ally hits you out of it, it won't do as much damage.

You'll see a rock blocking the path into a cave. This is the entrance to the volcano, and it's blocked to you for the time being. You won't be able to do anything about that yet. If you go west from here, you'll be able to find an armor seller that sells better stuff that what you'll find at the village. Take advantage of this, you'll need it.

Going north from the rock will take you to the Mammoth Graveyard.
