We hunt for some of the parts necessary for the spaceship...and encounter some new things along the way.
All maps by Grizzly.
Next stop, Bugmuck.
Village Exit to Bugmuck
Why walk when you can fly? There's a fire pit near there as well.
Bugmuck
Go through it like you did Thraxx. Yes, you'll have to deal with the collapsing maze again. The only thing is, you're much stronger than you were at the beginning of the game...and you have sharp instruments. Remember to look for free alchemy ingredients, including Oil and Wax, in the Bugmuck. Free is good.
Boss: Coleoptera
When you return to where you killed Thraxx, you'll find a blue recolor in his place. This is Coleoptera, and he's much stronger...but so are you.
You fight Coleoptera the same way you fight Thraxx. This time around, you'll have some more devastating spells to deal with, as Coleoptera will usually cast Storm, Flash and Heat Wave. He can also zap you with an electric attack straight from his eyes. (At least he doesn't drop Maggots this time.) Since you have some strong spells on you as well as a spear in your hand this time around, you'll be able to hit the heart without going through all that trouble like you did with Thraxx.
Word to the wise: keep The Boy's health above 100. The Dog's, too, if necessary...pulling a Level 3 Dog Attack on that still helps if you can situate yourself just right. Using Double Drain on both arms and the heart acts as an instant heal for The Boy while dealing damage to Coleoptera at the same time.
Like last time, killing the arms gives you extra experience if you need it.
When you kill this thing off, you'll get 4000 Talons. Now hack the cocoon that's inside where Coleoptera used to be and you'll get the Wheel. Next stop, the Great Pyramid. Thankfully, you can fly to Nobilia and not have to deal with the Desert of Doom.
Nobilia
Remember the palace we couldn't go to before? Go there now. The gate will now be open now that Horace has regained control of Nobilia.
There is a glitch where if you stand to the right of the top right statue and press B really fast, you'll be able to get infinite Call Beads. In order to trigger it, you have to press B on the middle statue on the left to talk to it.
It is possible to walk on a certain point on the pool to the left. Near the big lily pad in the center of the pool is 2500 gold coins for Gothica. In the European foreign language versions, you fall into the water and rapidly lose your health while in it as you make your way to the gold coins, and you don't come back out until you go back to where you entered the water from.
Nobilia Palace
There is a secret path in the left pool that you can walk on, and if you make it to the lower-left corner of the fountain and press B, you'll get 2500 Gold Coins (as opposed to Jewels).
Enter the palace and you'll meet Horace again. You'll learn Tiny's acting strange and has joined the Oglins. (You'll also find out that Tiny went over to the cave inside the dried-up riverbed if you talk to people inside the pirate ship in Crustacia.) Horace will give you a new spell: Barrier. It's a better version of Defend...if you level it up.
Barrier
1 Limestone, 2 Bone
Hey, it's a better use for the Bones than Revive.
It should also be mentioned that if you forget to get the formula and beat Tiny, you won't be able to get it.
Fly back to the fire pit near Crustacea. Go back to Crustacea and make your way back to the Pyramid. Go into the dried-up river bank and go east this time. We're back in the area with the Oglins and the Sons of Anhur, and the riverbed has dried up.
