We go from one cave to another on the way to Tir Asleen.
To Tir Asleen
As you go east, be careful as the rocks can hurt you. (At least they won't kill you in one hit like they did shortly after the beginning.) Interestingly, they will move from one side of the screen to the other, and if you pay attention to where the rocks are going, you can find a safe spot or two. You'll also see red palette swaps of the fly enemies, gray wasps and dirt-brown versions of the floating skulls.
When you reach the first intersection, go south then keep going east. You'll eventually be able to go north and get the Monster's Bone. By wearing it on your head and uttering Spectre's magic word, you can transform into a monster and disguise yourself as the enemy.
Return to the intersection before the Monster's Bone and go south two screens, then follow the path and keep going east at the first intersection you see. (For those of you not using a map, hugging the left wall even as it U-turns at the dead end and becomes the right wall - in a way - works very well. And if you are using that strategy, don't go up the stairs.) You'll see large, projectile-spitting faces show up in the rock walls. Just carry on.
If an enemy drops a bubble, pick it up. It will refill some of your HP.
The house you'll see on the way will have an old man who will tell you he's never heard of Nockmaar Castle (even though he lives near it). He also teaches you the Thunder spell, which is the most powerful magic in the game. You can also heal here, too. Go north from the house and you'll find a chest that contains the Heal Ball. This costs 30 MP to use, but it heals even more than the Healmace does, effectively making the Healmace obsolete.
Go back to the house, then go east. When you reach the four-way intersection, go north until you reach another four-way intersection. Go east to get the Tail Shield. Equip it when you get it. You can talk alternate paths to get to the Tail Shield chest. If the rock faces give you a hard time, you can kill them off with the Thunder spell, but be warned that it uses a lot of MP. At least the face enemies give you 200 experience points each.
The brown enemies that spit fireballs can be easily killed with Thunder, and they also drop balls of MP that will both refill the cost of a Thunder casting.
You'll eventually head back to the four-way intersection that you saw shortly after going east from the house where you learned Thunder. If you hit that area (and you probably will if you returned differently than when you went in), go north, then east. The next part of the path goes in a circle, so go west and you'll eventually find a new path...and trees.
You'll want to use the Monster's Bone here. The holes in the ground are actually mouths that try to eat at you, but if you've transformed into a monster, they won't even bother you. It won't last forever, so you'd better step it up to the other side.
This one is pretty easy. The first opening you see is the house of an old man, who will tell you about Tir Asleen. Tir Asleen is the future castle of the future Queen, Elora Danan.
Go east until you see a four-way intersection, then go south and follow the path to the east. You're done here.
Follow the path (which has a lot of falling rocks) and you'll eventually come across an intersection. Both paths lead to the cave, but you'll want to go east as this leads to Tir Asleen. Unfortunately, when you try to cross the bridge, you won't be able to move past the cave. You'll have no choose but to go into the cave.
