We're almost at the end of Mu...but now we have to save Erik if we want to continue with our journey!

Mu

Map (drawn by StarFighters)

When you make it to the big opening in the lowest level, you will meet Rama, King of Mu. Just place the Rama Statues on the altars, then go forward tot he big statue to talk to Rama. From there, talk to all of the spirits that pop up from northern-most to southern-most so you can hear their story in the proper order. From there, talk to Rama again. You will receive the third Mystic Statue and reveal an opening leading to the man-made tunnel out of Mu.

From here, charge up Dark Friar (you should be in here as Freedan at this point) and go to the right before going north. Let go of the button when Erik is talking to you, and you can get a free hit on the male vampire who shows up. (You can go to the left and get a free hit on the female vampire, but the male one is more of a threat.) They will converse, and you can go through their conversation with the A button.

Turns out, not only have they kidnapped Erik and tied him to a bomb (which will explode in 150 seconds, resulting in an instant death), but they want the third Mystic Statue! You will have to beat them both in a very quick amount of time and defuse the bomb that Erik is tied to!

It's time to face the vampires, Jack and Silvana. Jack has a fire wave attack that travels in four directions, while Silvana has a fireball that goes only in one. When they both go to the bottom of the screen, they will be invulnerable as they create a massive fireball that will bounce off walls as they go to the north. You will want to run to the north to avoid it.

Jack may have some energy balls rotating around him. As a matter of fact, so will Silvana. If that happens, stay away and hit him with Dark Friar. As a matter of fact, you will want to hit the vampires with Dark Friar often. If you can get in close to them and hit them with your sword multiple times, that's great.

Once you beat both vampires, talk to Erik. From there, go to the bomb and cut either wire to defuse the bomb; it does not matter which one you choose. It should also be mentioned that if you wait for the timer to reach zero after you beat the vampires and talk to Erik, the bomb will suddenly decide to be a dud and not work. Video game logic! /slimkirby

Lilly will then express fear about not being able to do anything in a time of crisis and apologize. Afterwards, go south to the entrance to the room. Lilly will come out of your pocket, then everyone will come up with the idea of taking the man-made tunnel to the mainland.

Inside the tunnel, everyone will set-up a campfire. Once you are able to look around, talk to everybody. When you talk to Kara, head right and press A at the mushroom near the wall. Walk up to Kara, and then everyone will eat.

You'll then get another cutscene where Will and Lilly talk. Will will talk to Lilly about his powers, then Lilly will tell you that there is a reason for joining the adventure that she cannot reveal just yet.

You'll get another cutscene where Kara talks about hearing weird knocking sounds in the walls. You will find out that the knocking sounds are in Morse Code. You will hear from Seth, who was swallowed by Riverson on the Incan gold ship and has since turned into a fishman much like Riverson. He now lives in the ocean, and he has no idea if he is human. He will tell you that evolution is being affected by the light of a comet, and that he wanted to continue with you on your journey, but not as a fishman, and he tells you to figure out the riddle of the comet and the ruins.

After this cutscene, you will finally be in Angel Village. From here on out, if you missed another from Mu or before then, you won't be able to get it.
