PrinceWatercress plays Lagoon - Part 2 of 12


We start the video with an escort mission. Thankfully, it's only one of two in the game, but you will soon see why these are annoying.

Gold Cave




As mentioned at the end of the last blog entry/video, Giles is painfully slow, and you'll have to wait for him and make sure not to get too far away from him. Thankfully, monsters will not attack him.

From here, you want to slowly guide Giles back to Atland.

Atland



Once you're back in town, Giles will thank you and tell you about the locked door in the cave. He will tell you to talk to the faith healer in town to learn more about it before leaving.

Head over to the southeast corner of the village. Giles will be in front of the house to tell you that she is in, in case you have trouble finding it. Go inside, and the faith healer will tell you there is a demon named Samson behind the door before handing off Samson's key to unlock the door and beat him, as the evil water from Lagoon Castle has made him more powerful and allowed him to call demons to the cave.

There are more townspeople in Atland now. An old woman will tell you that you will need a staff and a crystal to use magic, and that the Earth Staff is in the village of Voloh. Voloh is across the river, but nobody knows how to get there. Also, you'll find out that Giles is safe thanks to your efforts.

The restaurant manager will tell you that when the faith healer was young, there was a path from the Gold Cave to the Elf Field.

The other weapon shop that was closed earlier is now open, and you can buy two things there: a Healing Pot that will heal a little bit of your HP and a Shiny Stone that replenishes a little bit of your MP. Buy both, since you may need the Shiny Stone later and you used the Healing Pot to save Giles.

If you talk to the Gold Cave guards, they will tell you about the locked door on the first floor of the cave.

Back To The Gold Cave


The locked door isn't too far away from the entrance. Once you find it, go the menu, select Item, select Samson's Key and press A. Walk into the door with the key equipped, and you'll go in.

To beat Samson, you will have to get him to follow you into a corner so you can strike him repeatedly in the right leg. Be sure that you're jumping when he is so that the earthquakes he creates do not stun you. If he doesn't move very much as you do this, you're doing something right. Samson can still strike you with his ax and do some damage, so have your Healing Pot ready. To use an item, have it equipped by selecting it with A in the item menu and press the L button to use it. After some time, Samson's helmet will be replaced with an eye, so keep on piling on the damage however you can. Once you beat Samson, Samson will explode and you will get the Fire Crystal, which will help you cast Fire magic.

Before you go north, go back to Atland and buy a Healing Pot if you need one.

Elf Field



Once you enter this area, the exit from the cave will be buried by an earthquake, and you will no longer be able to go back to the Gold Cave or Atland.

The spiders and the flies will aggressively move at you; the flies will be even faster than the spiders. Beat them down and keep your health high so you can get some experience and head north to Voloh.
