PrinceWatercress plays Terrangima - Part 7 of 50

Our adventures in the Ra Tree continue as we try to bring oxygen back to the world and bring it out of a primeval state.

Ra Tree

Map (by xyzbilliu)

Head back through the fourth basement floor. After getting past the raised area with the stairs, you want to go right to where the purple water is. There's a door there, and if you enter it, your path will be blocked by blue water. Now that you have the Giant Leaves, you can safely swim across it. Follow the path to the lowest level of the Ra Tree. Talk to the lilly and you'll learn that the surface is so devastated that nothing can survive. You'll also be given the Ra Dewdrop. Remember the room where you were knocked unconscious and tossed out of the room when you entered? Well, this item will put a stop to that. Just equip it and use it like you would a healing item to get into the room.

If you continue to the right of where you got the Ra Dewdrop, you can get the Leaf Suit, which protects you from poison and has slightly better defense than what you have equipped right now. Go ahead and put it on. Also, according to the lilly near the Leaf Suit, the gray things (as well as the red things that spit projectiles at you) are called Abbees.

If the number for your current level is replaced with a flashing blue Japanese symbol, that means you've been poisoned. Use a P.Cure to cure it.

All the way to the right is an orange plant. The orange plant will tell you about Evegreen, where plants once thrived. Also, check behind the nearby waterfall for Magirock #14.

Instead of going back from where you entered, there is a ladder near the Magirock. Use it to make it further up the Ra Tree and close to where you need to be. From there, go north and then east. Go up the stairs, and go west, north and then east to the room that knocked you out. If you used the Ra Dewdrop, the gas here will have no effect. You'll then take on the boss of this dungeon: The Parasite.

Take out the spiky things popping out of the holes at the sides. Avoid or block the projectiles that they shoot at you. When you kill them all, you'll want to kill the eye that pops out of the center. Take out all the spiky things that it spawns, but make the eye your number one priority and attack it when it's open with your multi-stab attack. Be sure to avoid the worm, and when it spits out more of those spiky things, take them all out with your dash attack. Being Level 9 at this point really helps.

After doing enough damage to the eye, you'll destroy the Parasite. You'll learn from the Ra Tree that even plants were changed into monsters due to whatever has happened on the surface world, and now that the Parasite has been destroyed, they will all be able to return to their normal forms. The world will soon be green again, but the world isn't fully resurrected yet, as you must lead the growth of living things.

We then see a cutscene where rain hits the ground and a flower grows. The wind blows, and the petals fly away before the flower pollinates the earth. We seen view a Mode 7 sequence where the world is finally blue and green as a seed flies around. We then appear before Ra Tree, and everything is green again.

Evegreen

Talk to the Ra Tree. You'll learn that living things are locked in sleep, and that you must now bring them back. You'll also receive the GrassPin, which asks as summon magic.

To use summon magic, head to the Jewelry Box. You'll be able to use it from there. The GrassPin will restore all of your HP, which will definitely help later on.

If you look in the Strength Mirror after getting the GrassPin, you'll find out that you have now received four Magirocks from getting the GrassPin. Once you use the GrassPin, you'll be able to use those Magirocks in case you want to buy more of them.

You can talk to the flowers around here. One of them will tell you about the northern continent, which was once the land of birds.

You'll also find an orange plant, and if you speak to her, the background music will change.

You can also buy some items from the soul nearby, including the Ra Armor. You can also save your game here, if you wish.

Now that you're done, head north through the mountains. You'll end up in Guiana. The plant nearby will tell you that the plants will always watch over you, and that the continent of birds to the north is in dire need of your help. This time, you can get around here. Climb up the vine and go west. You'll be over the mountains in no time.
