We start our adventure in the Magridd Castle in this entry!
There is nothing more to do in Dr. Leo's Laboratory, so it's time to go to Magridd Castle. Don't forget to save.
Magridd Castle is in the northeast corner of the overworld map.
Magridd Castle
There's not much of anything here. Time to head down the stairway to the west.
Magridd Dungeon
The piles of bones are skeletons who will come to life when you get close. Keep swinging as soon as they get up. (The piles of bones would later be used in Illusion of Gaia.)
The snakes will lunge back and forth, but you should be able to take care of them easily. The snakes are not part of monsters and will re-spawn.
You'll be releasing the soul of a soldier near the entrance in the overworld who will you that there are many ghosts in the torture room. He'll ask you to first look for the Spirit Sword. Thankfully, it's just to the east of where you released him from. Hope you're Level 19. Equip it, and you'll be able to take out the ghosts that fly around. Sometimes they will disappear when you try to hit them. If they do, they'll reappear nearby.
There are some stones with scary faces that will shoot fireballs at you.
Interact with the skeleton near the Spirit Sword to find a harp string.
You'll also release the soul of another soldier on the roads of the Magridd Castle grounds.
Taking the stairs in the southeast corner of the dungeon leads you further into the dungeon. The glowing balls can easily be destroyed with Light Arrow.
When you enter, there will be a monster lair that releases a soldier. However, the game will tell you that the solider cannot be recalled. You will have to release a certain building first in order to get that soldier back, and until then, the soldier is in the form of a spirit. There is one you can release from the lair to the left, however. To the south of that is the soul of a singer, which also releases a theater, which in turn will allow you to release the soldier. This singer will tell you that they cannot play harp without harp strings.
You'll also release two soldiers near the moat as you are in the basement. One of them will tell you there are many thorns in the basement, and if you free the soldier right in front of where he was captured, you will be able to get the Elemental Mail.
You'll also be able to release a soldier lying on the ground, as well as another soldier who comes with a well-paved road.
On the lower-left corner of the second level is the third level. But we have other things to do.
Back to the Castle Grounds
One of the soldiers will tell you that his uncle is the architect Gaudi. He knows a few things about architecture and will show you something later.
The soldier lying on the ground is sleeping. Use the Dream Rod on him to go to the Dream World. Here, you'll see a conversation between Dr. Leo and a soldier, where Dr. Leo says he has been haunted by a monster called "research" that kept him from paying attention to his wife and daughter. He was able to invent things, only to invent something that was evil and summoned Deathtoll. It was then that he realized that tools are built to make peoples' lives easier. However, when tools start to use people, their culture declines and they become unhappy. When he heads to the World of Evil, Deathtoll will be called, and he does not want to believe that this beautiful world will be destroyed.
Dr. Leo asks to be let off the airship somewhere. The soldier admits that Dr. Leo may be right, but he has to carry out his orders and make sure he is taken to the castle and not allowed to escape. He must think of only the present, not tomorrow, and he must do his job or be punished. He asks Dr. Leo to understand this.
When the soldier wakes up, he says that he has had the same dream as Dr. Leo. If he had releaed Dr. Leo, the world would not be in the shape that it is in right now. He does not know who to obey anymore. He then tells you about the thorns in the basement and gives you the Elemental Mail. Be sure to equip it.
The soldier in the theater will tell you that one of the soldiers betrayed the King and is trying to escape with Dr. Leo. Since you have the harp string, talk to the singer with it equipped and he will tell you about a girl who took care of him in the Grass Valley Highlands: Lisa. He never told her his true feelings for her, however. You then get some music.
The two soldiers near the moat are more or less forced to say King Magridd is the greatest man in the world, or else they will be punished.
