Our journey takes into another town...and another marketplace...
All maps by Grizzly.
Ivor Tower South
As soon as you go west, you'll meet up with more of those Blue Goos as well as hedgehogs in knight helmets called Hedgadillos. I want one.
Search the trees lining the path in this section, and you'll find some hidden nooks where you can find some wooden chests. One of them has the Aura spell, which you can use if you have Call Beads and check out Horace's abilities. Aura protects you from all damage for 45 seconds.
Ivor Tower Town
Things you'll need at this point:
- One Amulet of Annihilation (one for the ticket to Percival Plank's Exhibition)
- Golden Jackal (for the Oracle Bone)
- Jeweled Scarab (for the Oracle Bone)
- 3 Perfumes and 3 Beads (for the the Insect Incense)
If you missed out on the Chocobo Egg, you can buy it for 9 Perfumes and 9 Beads. If you missed on the Thug's Cloak, you could get it for 8 Perfumes and 6 Beads; however, you can get it for free later unless you missed out on the Wizard's Coin in Crustacia.
Thankfully, the path isn't long.
The first thing you'll notice is all the storefronts north of the entrance. This is a market that is somewhat like what you saw in Nobilia. One of the booths sells tickets to Percival Plank's Exhibition of Oddities, the freak show in town, and tickets cost one Amulet of Annihilation. You'll need the ticket in order to continue on with the game, so get that first!
You'll also notice you'll have to get some new currency...again. In Gothica, the local currency is Gold Coins, so be prepared to exchange your Jewels for Gold Coins. You can also buy the Oracle Bone for a Jeweled Scarab and a Golden Jackal. Buy it, because you're going to need the Oracle Bone later.
There are also booths west of the entrance. One of them gives you a second chance to buy back the charms you got rid of earlier, so you should definitely not pass that up. There is also an armor dealer here. If you have the money and at least two Amulets of Annihilation to throw around, get the armor here. You definitely won't regret it! Be sure to buy the Dragon Helm and the Magician's Ring; the Gold-Plated Vest can be found in
If you look behind the houses, you'll find hidden entrances to parts of houses you usually wouldn't be able to access normally. You'll be able to find three Amulets of Annihilation this way, so make good use of it.
One of the houses belongs to the alchemist known as Lance. You'll find out which one it is by entering houses and talking to people. When you're in it, go inside and look around, but [b]don't...touch...anything![/b] When you leave, Lance will come up the stairs and ask you what you're doing. Because you didn't take anything, he'll give you a new spell that is really, really awesome: Lance.
Lance
1 Iron, 1 Acorn
Replace Crush with Lance; you won't be finding any limestone here. Also, you can now open the chests in Lance's room; one of them will have the Gold-Plated Vest.
Oh, and don't ask how that gourd disappeared in the footage at the end. I have no clue.
