We meet our first boss here, and we finally get to level up here as well.
Level Forest - Level Up Time!
When you go back to Level Forest, Kaeli will head up to a tree. Talk to her, and she'll cut it down with the ax.
When you go into battle with her, she'll be on automatic control. Press Y, though, and you'll be able to choose between manual and automatic controls for your ally.
You'll notice that the monsters stand in place. Unlike the rest of the Final Fantasy series, there are no random encounters here. Instead, you can choose to fight or even jump over them. If you want to fight them, either walk into them to trigger the battle, or stop in front of them and press A. You'll definitely want to do that here, since it's easy to go up two levels...maybe three.
The Brownies and Slimes are nothing to write home about. I'll be using space in future entries to display the elemental and special strength and weaknesses of monsters in other areas.
Kaeli is pretty strong - she can usually kill anything in one hit with her ax. It's pretty nice.
Before you reach the end, you'll find a chest with Heal Potions in it. These cure you of any status ailments you may be afflicted with from the enemy.
When you go up to the tree with the glowing brown outline, Kaeli will try to cut it down. It will revert to an evil Minotaur, who will poison Kaeli. Kaeli will still have enough strength for one last battle...get ready!
Minotaur
You could instantly kill him with Kaeli's Life spell...but if you're going to do this the fun way...
Go all out with your attacks, and heal your characters with Cure, Life or potions if they get down to around 25% of maximum.
When you beat the Minotaur, Kaeli's mom will show up just in time when Kaeli collapses from the poison. To save her, you'll have to get something known as Elixir. She'll give you the Axe, which you'll automatically equip (you'll do this with every new weapon you get). To cut down the small trees, face one and press A with the axe equipped. You'll need this to fight the rest of the monsters and open the rest of the chests. Thankfully, it's much stronger than the sword you had at the beginning.
To switch weapons on the fly, press L and/or R to cycle through them.
