Shortly after entering the cave, Cecil find the way blocked by an old man. |

| ろうじん「ヌッ おぬし！ よくみれば あんこくけんの つかいてじゃな！ たのむ てをかしてくれ！ 『どうしたんです？ ろうじん「むすめの {アンナ}が ぎんゆうしじんに だまされ ダムシアンに いってしまったのじゃ！ ダムシアンに ふきつな けはいが たちこめておる！ 『では あなたが けんじゃ {テラ}！ |
Old Man: Oh, you there! On closer look, you're a wielder of the Dark Sword! Please, help me out! 『What is it? Old Man: My daughter {Anna} was fooled by a minstrel and went to Damcyan! There's an ominous presence hanging over Damcyan! 『Then you're the Sage {Tella}! |
Old man: What! You wield the Dark Sword? Help me, I beg you! {Cecil}: What? Old man: A wicked bard tricked my daughter into running away to Damcyan! And...... I sense evil in that direction of Damcyan! {Cecil}: You must be the sage {Tellah}! |
| {テラ}「いかにも {テラ}じゃ！ しんぱいになって ダムシアンにむかう とちゅうなんじゃが このさきの ちかのみずうみにおる きょだいな まものに てこずっとる。 とてつもないちからを もったヤツじゃ！ わたしのまほうだけでは たおせん！ おぬしの あんこくけんとならば！ ！？ なんと！ そのこは しょうかんしか。 かなりのししつを もっておる。 『ダムシアンへは ぼくらも いかなくては ならないんです！ {テラ}「ならば きまりじゃ！ いっこくも はやく ダムシアンへ！ |
{Tella}: I am indeed {Tella}! I was on my way to Damcyan out of worry, but I'm having much difficulty with the giant monster in the underground lake up ahead. It has preposterous strength! I can't beat it with just my magic! If used with your Dark Sword...! !? What's this! So that girl is a Summoner. She has considerable potential. 『We need to get to Damcyan as well! {Tella}: Then it's settled! To Damcyan, at once! |
{Tellah}: I am {Tellah}. I'm going to Damcyan to get my daughter who eloped. But a huge monster is blocking the way. My magic is not strong enough to defeat it. Your Dark Sword might help. And... this girl is a Caller!? She is quite gifted, I sense. {Cecil}: We are also on our way to Damcyan. {Tellah}: Good! Let us work together to get to Damcyan. Let's hurry! |
| けんじゃ {テラ}が なかまになった！ | Sage {Tella} became a companion! | Sage {Tellah} joined! |
Tella isn't nearly as frail as Rydia, being level 20 and likely having more hit points than Cecil for now, but he's still not a fighter, and should probably be placed in the back row for his protection. On the other hand, he's quite powerful for this point in the game, having all the basic offensive spells plus a number of other useful ones, including Aspir, Blink, Esuna, and especially Cura, which makes him an outstanding healer for the time being. Unfortunately, Tella has very slow stat growth. His max HP only goes up 24~27 each level, and while his max MP of 90 may seem like a lot for now considering Rydia started with only 10, it's actually low for his level (most casters have well over 100 by level 20) and additionally never increases. His strength and stamina actually decrease from their already unimpressive initial values of 5 and 7, dropping to 1 by level 30, and his intelligence and spirit don't increase at all either until level 43. Rydia will match him on offense when casting the same spells once she hits level 12, then pass him at 17. Also check behind the nearby waterfall for some goodies before going deeper into the cave.... After passing through more of the cave, the party comes across a room with a strange formation and a symbol on the floor. |

| {テラ}「よし ここで やすんでゆこう。 | {Tella}: All right, let's stop and rest here. | {Tellah}: Let's take rest here! |
| {テラ}「このまほうじんの うえならば けっかいが はられていて まものが はいってこれんのじゃ。 テントや コテージで やすんだり セーブしたりもできる。 ヤツとの たたかいに そなえ わたしのテントで たいせいを たてなおすとしよう！ |
{Tella}: A barrier is erected atop this magic crest that keeps monsters from coming in. We can rest in a Tent or Cottage, and can also save. Let's use my Tent and regain our footing in preparation for battle with the creature! |
{Tellah}: A special field here will protect us from monsters. We can use our Tent or Cabin and even Save. Let's rest now and be prepared for the coming battle in my Tent! |
They set up camp, and Rydia soon falls asleep. |
||
| {テラ}「もう ねてしまったか。 よほど つかれておったんじゃろ。 このこは たしか‥‥ 『ミストの‥‥しょうかんしです。 {テラ}「よい ししつを ひめておる。 しゅぎょうを つめば ほかの まほうも つかいこなせるじゃろう。 しかし かわいい ねがおじゃ‥‥ おさないころの {アンナ}のようじゃ。 『そのひとは あなたの‥‥ {テラ}「ただひとりの むすめじゃ。 ぎんゆうしじんと ダムシアンへ かけおち してしまってな‥‥ わたしが ゆるさなかったばかりに‥‥ |
{Tella}: She's asleep already. Must have been quite tired out. If I'm not mistaken, this girl is.... 『A Summoner... of Mist. {Tella}: She holds good potential. With training, I think she could master other magic as well. Such a cute face when she sleeps.... Like {Anna} when she was younger. 『She would be your...? {Tella}: My only daughter. She eloped to Damcyan with a minstrel.... All since I wouldn't allow.... |
{Tellah}: Fast asleep...... She must have been very tired. You said she was... {Cecil}: A Caller of Mist. {Tellah}: She seems very gifted as a magic-user. With proper training, she will be able to wield the magic other than calling monsters. How sweet! Just like {Anna}'s childhood. {Cecil}: {Anna} is your... {Tellah}: Only daughter. She ran away to Damcyan with a Bard, because I did not consent to their marriage. |
Tella looks upset. |
||
| {テラ}「おぬしらは なぜ ダムシアンに？ 『ぼくのなかまが カイポで こうねつびょうに かかっているんです。 {テラ}「さばくのひかりか‥‥ あれがないと わたしでも どうにもならん。 おぬしたちも いそぎか‥‥ 『どうくつの まものとは いったい？ {テラ}「きょだいな やっつの あしをもつ おそろしい ヤツじゃ。 {アンナ}と おぬしのなかまのためにも まず ヤツを たおさねばな！ ダムシアンのほうに かんじられる ふきつな けはいが わたしの きのせいならば いいのだが‥‥ |
{Tella}: Why to Damcyan for you? 『My companion is afflicted with an extreme fever in Kaipo. {Tella}: The Light of the Desert.... Without that, even I can do nothing. Then you're in a hurry too.... 『What is the cave's monster? {Tella}: A dreadful giant beast with eight legs. We must first defeat it, for the sakes of {Anna} and your companion! But I hope the ominous presence I can feel from the direction of Damcyan is just my imagination.... |
{Tellah}: What do you want to go to Damcyan for? {Cecil}: My friend is suffering from a terrible fever in Kaipo. {Tellah}: So you need the SandRuby. So you, too, are in a hurry. {Cecil}: What is the monster of this cavern? {Tellah}: It's a horrifying monster with eight huge tentacles. We must defeat it first to save {Anna} and your friend. |
Morning comes, and the party sets off again. Don't miss the Ice Rod shortly ahead, as it's useful against most reptiles and similar creatures. Cecil will get a stronger sword near the exit as well. |
||
| {テラ}「ここから いったん ちじょうにでれる。 ヤツは このさきの たきのしたにおる！ ねんのため ちじょうで テントでも はったほうが よいじゃろう！ |
{Tella}: We'll come out above ground for a while through here. It's at the bottom of the waterfall ahead! Just in case, we should put up a Tent or something above ground! |
{Tellah}: We can go out from here. The monster is in the cave beyond there. We should camp to regain our strength out there! |
As promised, the exit leads to the surface, with a small open area before another cave. This is a good time to heal and save. |

ちかのみずうみ
Underground Lake
Lake |

The cave leads to the top of a large waterfall. |
||
| {テラ}「ヤツは このしたじゃ！ | {Tella}: It's below here! | {Tellah}: It's down here! |
And this being that sort of game, jumping isn't suicidal and doesn't even hurt. Cecil will get some new armor, and then it's boss time... I hope you like tentacles. |
||
| {テラ}「くるぞ！ | {Tella}: Here it comes! | {Tellah}: He's coming! |
| {テラ}「こやつが オクトマンモスじゃ！ | {Tella}: This is Octomammoth! | {Tellah}: Octomamm! |
Cecil should keep attacking, as usual. Rydia does the most damage with the Chocobo summon, though Thunder isn't bad either. Tella should cast Thunder when he's not healing, since nothing else he can do is at all useful. Octomammoth is weak against Dark and Thunder and absorbs Holy. After taking damage three times, and every other time after that, Octomammoth's speed drops slightly and its graphic loses an arm, until it reaches its minimum speed with a single arm. When Octomammoth is down to two arms.... |
||
| {テラ}「さすが あんこくの つかいて！ | {Tella}: As expected from a Darkness user! | {Tellah}: Good job! |
| 「うごきが にぶりおったわい！ | Its movements are dulled! | He's slowing down! |
If you've made it this far, finishing it off should be easy, particularly since Octomammoth only ever uses normal attacks. |
||
| {テラ}「これで ダムシアンに ゆける！ この たきのおくから おもてに でられるはずじゃ！ |
{Tella}: Now we can reach Damcyan! We should be able to reach the surface from behind this waterfall! |
{Tellah}: Now we can go to Damcyan from behind this waterfall. It leads to the exit! |
And so they leave the cave behind. Unfortunately, no sooner does Damcyan Castle come into sight but the Red Wings fly past and bomb it.... |
