HCBailly plays Terranigma - Part 10 of 75

Now that you're far from home, your first true test awaits...

Amazon Ruins and Evegreen map by Amir Azadur. Ra Tree map by xyzbilliu.

When you head south in the Portal area, you'll enter the World Map...and boy, is it desolate. You'll be in South America in the Amazon Rainforest.

Amazon Ruins

Map

Go to the south from where you started to find an empty spot surrounded by mountains. You'll find Magirock (#12). The soul there is a Magishop.

There is a small peninsula in the center of the jungle area with a small pool, which is surrounded by water. This is where you want to go.

Evegreen

Map

There was once pools of water and plants and animals here, but now there is nothing but boiling lava and sweltering heat. Go north and you'll get in a conversation with a tree, who tells you that they've waited a long time for you to arrive. This is the Ra Tree. The soul to the left is a store, so if you need healing items, get them here. Get some P.Cure to cure poison in the area ahead. Then, walk up to the hole and press A while walking into it to crawl into the tree.

Ra Tree

Map

The red sac you see here shoots out some sort of purple stuff which can put you out for a little while if you're caught in it. Other red ones that you'll see will shoot projectiles at you that you can guard against, but if you can walk up to them and pick them up, you can throw them to kill them as well as use them as projectiles to throw at other enemies. There is also a diary and ink well here in case you need to save.

The gray sacs that are quivering act as treasure chests, and you can open them up to get useful items such as P.Cures.

At the start, go down the stairs, then go up and to the right. The yellow demon here will jump around and try to claw at you. Go down the hole. Beat up all the enemies, then go up the platform and open the gray sac to get the Ra Spear, which is a more powerful weapon than what you have now. Be sure to equip it before you continue.

If you go through the door to the east, you'll be knocked out and tossed out of the room. Go to the stairway to the west instead. This takes you back close to the entrance. Head to the west and use your dash attack to take out the flower enemy now that you have the Ra Spear equipped. The flowers can only be hit when they open up to shoot projectiles, which can poison you if you're not careful.

The Zap Ring will allow you to shoot projectiles from your staff for a short period of time.

From the flower enemy, go south and follow the path, watching out for fish that leap out of the water to flop at you as well as other enemies. 

One of the flower enemies contains a soul that tells you about how plants started from one tree and then slowly grew elsewhere across the land. You'll learn that if you save the Ra Tree, the world can become green again.

When you reach the area with the small boulders, pick up the boulders and do a dash throw to take down the fish swimming up ahead. This will open up a path across the water. You'll be back at the hole, this time on the other side of it. Drop down the hole, then open up any chests that you find and make your way east to the stairs leading down.

From those stairs, head west, then south at the fork in the road. The purple flower enemy is a little tougher than the yellow one, but it goes down the same way. Leap over the water with a running jump and kill the other enemies for experience if you need it, then go back north and go west and follow the path there. Go down the stairs.

From there, check the gray sacs for a Life Potion, as one of them will carry one. Keep going south, then follow the path.
