World Map (12,000 B.C.) (by Rick Bruns)

When you come out of the cave on the other side of the portal, head east. You won't be able to do anything in the cave to the west yet, as the ladder will not be down for you to head over there. You'll soon find a Skyway in this snow-bound land, and when you step onto the glowing purple panel, you'll find yourself in a continent in the sky.

The first place you'll be able to head to is Enhasa.

You'll be able to talk to people here, and they will go on about dreams and the importance of them. You'll find out that the queen of this kingdom has found an impressive new power source and is using it to power the kingdom.

When you head to the northwest corner of Enhasa, you'll find a kid with blue hair and a purple cat. He will mention something about the dark wind howling before predicting that one of you will soon die before he and his cat leave.

The blue and gold panel is a Spring of Recovery, and if you step on it, you will recover all of your HP and MP.

There are three books that can be opened: one of water, one of wind and one of fire. If you open water, wind and fire in that order, you'll uncover a hidden door north of the entrance. Here, you can fight 6 Nu's, and if you can beat them all, you'll get a Magic Tab and a Speed Tab.

Believe it or not, the order that you open the books in will be learned a little later, but you can probably find it out on accident. There are three books, after all.

When you're done in Enhasa, take the Skyway north of Enhasa back down to earth and head north to find a third Skyway. This third Skyway will take you to the main continent.

To the west will be the Blackbird. If you talk to the two guards in purple, you'll soon meet Dalton, who isn't exactly the nicest person. You won't be able to do much else, though. Near the Blackbird is Kajar.

There will be a Spring of Recover in the southeast corner, and in the center is a store where you can buy healing items. Once again, there are three books you can open that are of water, wind and fire, and if you open them in that same order, you'll find a hidden door near the store that leads to the Black Rock. It allows the person who has it equipped it to cast the Triple Tech "Dark Eternal," but you won't be able to use it quite yet.

By talking about the people here, you'll find out that the people on the sky continent can perform magic while the people down on the snow-ravaged earth cannot, and that the people on the sky continent are rather full of themselves.

In the research lab near the northeast corner, you'll find out that one of the Nus is stealing a researcher's materials, but you won't be able to (sort of) help him until a little later. The Nu at the north will tell you that water summons wind and that wind makes fire dance. This is how you find out what order to open the books in.

Believe it or not, there is a Speed Tab at the southeast corner near the door in that area. You'll see it in the previous room if you're in the northwest corner and you see the sparkle there. You'll have to go behind that wall to pick it up. I'll pick it up in a later video.
