In this entry, the mystery woman's identity is revealed, and we find out that we must join a beauty contest in order to get the weapons that the resistance really needs.
From Macaroni Burg, you'll want to head south and enter the forest. Head west until you can head north, then head north until you can head east. From there, head south, and you'll find the resistance base.
You'll find the village, but only the strong woman who is accompanying you - who happens to be Princess Citrus - is the only person who believes you are who you say you are, as the rest of the resistance is not convinced. You'll then get in a battle with Citrus, or "Citurus," as the game wants to call her for this one point in the game. Just keep hitting her with your sword, and she will eventually go down. You'll get 900 Experience out of the battle.
After the battle, everyone will be satisfied, then Citrus leaves to attend a strategy conference. From here, you'll be able to explore the resistance base. By talking to the people around here, you'll find out about Mr. Shrimp, the resistance's strategist. You'll need to go into all of the tents and talk to everyone before you can head into the tent at the far north and talk to Citrus so you can leave. Citrus will introduce Sam to Mr. Shrimp, then she will tell you to head into Pasta Village in the south to acquire some weapons powerful enough for the resistance to take on Bio-Haz before re-joining. From here, you can leave the resistance base, and you can then leave the forest.
Lavaflow is a new enemy and can only be found in the forest leading to the base. It can cast Poison and Bolt 2, and will leave 61 Experience and 240 Gold when defeated. It also has a chance of dropping Regain 2.
From the forest, head south, then follow the path. You'll meet a new enemy in Hot Dawg, which is weak against Freeze and can cast Push. It gives 80 Experience and 255 Gold upon defeat, and also has a chance of dropping Regain 3, which is nice if you can get one.
At Pasta Village, you'll find out that there is a beauty contest going on. At the inn, you can go upstairs and enter the first room you see, then talk to the guy near the wall to get a glimpse at the contestants in the other room only to get pushed aside almost immediately. Interestingly, you can go into the other room and talk to the ladies inside, and if you look at where the peephole is and press A, you can scare the guy on the other end.
At the armory, you'll find out that the weapons for the resistance base were sold to pay for the prizes for the beauty contest, one of which is a powerful sword. As for what you can buy, get the Bronze Armor and the Iron Shield. You can also buy an Iron Helmet, but you won't need to if you managed to get a Chrome Helmet earlier.
The building near the east wall that looks different from all the rest is where the beauty contest takes place. The prize will be in a nearby chest, and one of the people inside will tell you to meet with the contest coordinator in order to join the beauty contest. You won't be able to do anything else here for the moment.
At the magic shop, you can get Tactics, which temporarily reduces the rate of random encounters - instead of outright eliminating them - at the cost of 6 MP. If you want it, pass on it here, as you'll find it for free in the next area we're heading to. Freeze 3 is a must, as is Heal 3. Freeze 3 does more damage than Freeze 2 at the same cost of 7 MP, while Heal 3 heals 180 HP at the cost of 8 MP.
At the house in the northwest, you'll meet Mr. Fifi, the beauty contest coordinator. Talk to him, and you'll get the chance to enter the beauty contest. Say "Yes," and Mr. Fifi will tell you to go to the Forest of Fruit to the east and bring back three kinds of fruit: an apple for grace, a peach for beauty, and a walnut for wisdom. (How is a walnut a fruit?) There are three trees in the forest that each carry one of these types fruits. With the three fruits, Mr. Fifi will make a beautiful costume for Citrus.
