Our next task is to bring back humanity, and to do that, we will need to go up the mountains of Eklamata.
Go south from Zue, then head north and east to Arabia. Head back to the river crossing, and you'll learn that the rhinos have made themsleves into a bridge for you to cross to the other side now that you've saved Leim. You'll be able to buy stuff from a Magishop and general store on the other side, and also save your game. The general store has a Fur Coat that you can buy and equip, but you'll find even better armor very soon.
Now that you're on the other side and enter the mountain entrance to the side. This is Eklamata.
Eklemata
The first new enemy you'll meet are the wolves, known as Sabredogs, which will chase after you. They can also call for back-up, but the back-up isn't any more threatening than the initial Sabredogs that you'll run into. You'll also meet crystals with two smaller satellites around them. Use your dashing attack on both of them, especially against the diamonds which have some high defense.
If you go to the left at the entrance, you'll find Magirock #29 next to a flower that will tell you where you are if you talk to it.
Going north from the entrance leads to some Yetis. The Yetis are pretty powerful, and they'll throw your around for some good damage if the close quarter combat gets a little too close. They get faster and angrier if you hit them, too, and the only way to get them back to normal is to have them attack you. They do get stunned for a few seconds if you hit them.
If you talk to the red flower you saw at the beginning of the second section, it will tell you that the Yeti can either be friend or foe. Remember that for later.
Following the path takes you to a Yeti in a hot spring, and if you go north from here, you'll reach a dead end. If you interating with the hot spring, Yomi will tell you what a hot spring is in a brief in-game cutscene.
To the east of the yeti in the hot spring is a cave. Inside, you'll face the Rakshaki, who are somehow immune to your almost all of your attacks except for the dashing slide attack.
You'll want to make your way to the upper level when you first enter this cave, and go down the slides. You can't go up these slippery slopes, only down. You'll need to run down them to not only get an Ice Suit (which you'll want to equip) but also continue to the next area. You won't be able to go anywhere else until you run into a wall, as you have no control over Ark until he does.
If you get the red symbol (and most likely, it will be from a Rakshaki at this point in the game), you'll be Confused. All of your directions will be mixed up every few seconds, and the way they're mixed up changes every few seconds. The only way to cure it is with a Wind Pin or exit the current screen that you're in.
If you drop down into the hole on the lower-left corner, you'll get the Fire Pike. You'll also want to equip this, as it's Fire elemental and is effective against the wolves and crystals that you're fighting here. From there, you can push the block to the north out of the way and head back to the entry level.
The next area has blue Slime enemies that split up if you don't kill them in one shot. At least they're still easy to take care of if they do split. Keep going south to make your way back outside. If you talk to the flower that you see, you'll learn that it is a Snowgrass, and that its leaves are effective against wounds, and your wounds can be cured if you put a leaf in a hot spring and soak in it. You'll get a Snowgrass Leaf from the flower as well.
