Our adventure takes us down into the volcano, where the Fire Crystal lies. Before we can get inside, though, we have to get past whoever is blocking the front door.
Fireburg
If you talk to Arion, he'll tell you the Fire Crystal is in the Lava Dome.
The Gemini symbol in the house where you go the Battle Axe will take you back to Aquaria. You can now switch between the second and third regions without going through the Focus Tower.
Fireburg Battlefield 6
The new enemy is the Ghosts. These guys are pains in the butt. They can multiply and attack you on the same turn, and they will counter with Confuse Touch if you attack them with a Sword or Axe or if they are left alone long enough.
If they multiply, their clones will be around the same HP range as the original, so don't worry about being bombarded endlessly by Ghosts. They can, of course, be killed off with Cure. Hope you have plenty of Seeds!
Cleaning this battlefield out awards you with 1200 EXP.
Volcano
There are a lot of monsters in this area, so be prepared to heal yourself every once in a while.
The red chest at the beginning contains another spell for Benjamin: White. This is exactly the same as Holy. (It was called White in America back in the day because Nintendo censored out any and all religious references in a game. Yeah, Nintendo was evil back then. I don't care if they didn't want to offend Americans, they were still evil.)
The music here is pretty good, you'll get to hear it again when you're at the Lava Dome.
There are plenty of new enemies here. A lot of them, not surprisingly, are weak against Water, so your Blizzard spell will be getting a workout here.
The Nitemares can put you to Sleep, so be careful. Also the Were Wolves can cast Quake on you if you don't take care of them immediately.
Parts of the Volcano are foggy, and if you don't have the Mask, you won't be able to see the monsters...basically a repeat of the Magic Mirror in the Ice Pyramid. You'll be treading throw both foggy and un-foggy areas to get the Mask, so be ready to fight.
When you reach the end, you'll fight the Medusa.
Medusa
Take out the Were Wolves, then focus on the Medusa. She'll Petrify you with the Stone Gaze, so carry plenty of Heal Potions in case she decides to use it on Reuben.
Keep hitting here with White and Reuben's Morning Star and you'll do the most damage in fewest hits. The shorter this fight goes, the better.
