In this entry, we finally face Kojiro and rescue Princess Fillet, but we still have some work to do looking for Ben and Ed.
At this point in the game, you can find Wid in Farmer Lacter's field in the daytime. If you talk to him, he will think about checking on the mines to make sure everything is all right.
Now that your temporary mayoral tenure is over, head back to the forest. There is a road with a sign and two walls near it in the field past the path full of mushroom enemies. This leads to a path blocked by a rock that looks like a slug. Use the Rocksalt on it, and you'll find out it really is a slug.
Continue down the path. You'll quickly find a Bincho Field. Break it to rescue Artisan Teebone. If you return to the Palace later, he can temper Fusion to make it stronger if you talk to him. Do it; you'll need the extra attack power. Once forged, Fusion will grow a bright yellow, and it will be a lot stronger.
If the tide is too high for you to drop down to the platforms, come back later in the day. Head back into the forest, wait a little while, then come back. Eventually, the water will be low enough for you to explore. Use the Water Scroll to walk to the Water Crest, and use it there to drain all the water. Make your way down and you'll find the Fire Crest. Strike it with your sword to get it. The Fire Scroll will let you shoot fire and melt ice, and also light some objects.
After getting the Fire Scroll, Kojiro shows up...and he's got Princess Fillet! Musashi has no choice but to duel with Kojiro to save the Princess.
The key to beating Kojiro is to hit him when he's not holding his sword in front of him. Keep running around him in circles and avoid his attacks, then run up to Kojiro and hit him. Make sure he's not facing you, or else he will block your attacks. For best results, you can just run circles around him (both figuratively and literally) to avoid his attacks, then attack him from anywhere except directly in front of him with Lumina.
After you beat Kojiro, Musashi will escort Princess Fillet home to the castle. Leave the area and you'll be back at the castle. Your journey isn't over yet, though, as you still have Ed and Ben to deal with.
Before you do, there is a chest you'll need to open. It contains 500 Drans. I forgot it existed, and I end up going back to look for it in the final video.
Go talk to to MercenA (Mercenary Potrowst), MercenB (Mercenary Stue) and MercenC (Mercenary Metloife). You'll get hints, which I'll paraphrase here:
- Meandering Forest. Four Way Path: Gold, Knight (3x), Bishop.
- Left, Right, Right, Left, Straight Ahead
- About the knight...doesn't matter which way you're facing. Just go straight up.
Potrowst will tell you the game of Shogi has something to do with this. You'll have to learn about it from Scribe Shanky.
