In this entry, we bring an end to the Dragon Jail, make some Vader references, and enter yet another land.
Now that you have the Golden Pepper, you can head back to the lake and buy a boat to travel to the other side for 500 Gold. This time, when you approach the dragon, which is known as the Wif Worm, you'll be able to fight it and defeat it. Just keep hitting it with physical attacks, as it cannot be damaged with magic. You'll earn 450 Experience and 1200 Gold.
At the other side of the lake, you'll reach the Dragon Jail. The black areas are The Saltpork only has physical attack, and gives 38 Experience and 80 Gold. It also has a chance of dropping a Sword.
The Silence spell stops enemies from casting spells temporarily when cast.
You'll eventually find where everyone is working, and when you talk to the NPC's here, you'll find out that they've all been enslaved by Sarg, who is working for Bio-Haz, and forced to mine for stones that are sources of high toxins. You'll also find out that Dr. Bromide and Springroll are in solitary confinement. You'll find out that Sarg is upstairs from here, and you'll soon run into him.
Sarg has 600 HP and is weak against Freeze magic. He can also cast Poison do a little extra damage to you in addition to Dodging and casting Power, which increases the power of his strikes. Be ready to heal if your HP is under 100. He gives 350 Experience and 400 Gold when defeated, and can drop a Med 2-10 scroll. You'll also be able to get the Regain 1 out of the nearby chest.
Beyond Sarg, you'll find the solitary confinement cell, where you will find Springroll and Dr. Bromide. Bromide will give you a document of what he knows about Bio-Haz, and asks you to show it to Princess Truffle in the land of Curry so she can reveal Bio-Haz's weakness. He will tell Springroll to look after Lolly Pop, then pass on before the mine collapses.
You'll be back in Herbal Village, where Springroll thanks you for your help before telling you that you must go beyond the nearby Chcolanma Mountains. He will then give you the Mountain Gear. The sign telling you about the mountain will be directly west of Herbal Village, and if you read it, you'll have a choice of whether you want to climb the mountains. If you pick yes, you'll climb past them, but you'll lose the Mountain Gear and you'll be stuck in the land of Curry.
Cinnamon Village is the first place you'll be able to go to. At the armory, you can get a Foil and a Copper Helmet, and at the magic shop, you can get the Bolt 2, which does more damage than Bolt 1 at the same MP cost. You can also buy Med 2 scrolls at the magic shop, if you wish. According to the NPC's, you'll find Truffle at the inn. You'll also learn about the Power Water, which is a source of power for the people of Curry. Another NPC will also tell you about a man in the Pipe Valley to the south named Ralph Vader (an obvious reference to American environmentalist politician Ralph Nader).
One of the NPC's will offer you a special curry to eat. If you eat it, you'll run around the world map at fast speed before learning about the Ultra Hot Flower, which has a more intense heat to it.
At the inn, there is a man blocking a door upstairs. If you talk to him, he will know that you are here to show the note from Dr. Bromide, and he will let you in. You'll finally meet Truffle, who tells you that Bio-Haz's main power source is toxin, which explains why people who were sent to the Dragon Jail were forced to mine for them until they died, and that Bio-Haz pollutes this world in order to get more power. She also mentions that things that are pure, like Power Water, are Bio-Haz's weakness, then tells you about Ralph Vader down in Pipe Valley, who will know about the purest thing in the world that can be used against Bio-Haz. From here, she will join you.
Outside of Cinnamon, you can face new enemies. Slimy is weak against Flame magic, and it can also cast Slip, which causes you to slip and fall and be stunned for a while. It gives 46 Experience and 121 Gold upon defeat. The Lavamp can cast Bolt 1 and is strong against Bolt Magic, and gives 44 Experience and 109 Gold upon defeat. Tatertoe can cast Shove much like the enemies that it looks like, but it's not that much stronger, and gives 39 Experience and 118 Gold as well as a chance of dropping a Tin Helmet. Bamboobe has a chance of dropping an Alloy Helmet, which is much stronger than even the Copper helmet you've seen so far and will last you until the next continent and is even better than the 43 Experience and 157 Gold it gives upon defeat. Comsoup can cast Stick and leave you stuck temporarily in addition to being able to Dodge, and drops 42 Experience and 136 Gold when beaten. It also has a chance of dropping a Regain 1.
Truffle can sometimes scan enemies and find weaknesses, and when she does, a stat can go down, such as speed, offense or defense. This can be useful when fighting enemies and makes them even easier to finish off, especially if you are underleveled.
