Getting the Royal Key

Recommended Level: 34

After getting the Fire Spirit and finding yourself in the Sea Dragon ship, talk to the headsman, Tarr, to dock in Pilchard Bay. Go to the Shrine of Mysteries from here.

Note: you can also talk to Tarr again to land near Alltrades Abbey, in case you need to change your vocations.

Two new teleportals are working in the Shrine of Mysteries. Step on the yellow one to teleport yourself to the Oasis.

Exit the place and head to the Temple Palace. Talk to the NPC in the queen’s room, answer “yes” twice, and then go to Al-Balad.

Go to the house of the village chief and talk to him. He’ll ask you to get help from his youngest son, Sa’id. Exit the house and enter the cabin on the northeast to find him. He’ll join your party for now.

With Sa’id in your party, go to the big cauldron in the middle of the town and jump inside. Talk to the man in there, and after a cutscene, you’ll be at the Oasis. Exit and go to the Temple Palace once more.

Talk to Queen Neferta, then go to the lowest level of the temple and talk to the guards on the south side; they’ll let you pass now.

Go to the center of the room and you’ll find Sa’id’s brothers. Three monsters will attack your party. They’re normal mobs so you shouldn’t have any issues defeating them. After doing so, the brothers will give you the Royal Key.

Getting the pieces for the Earth Spirit

Recommended level: 34

The old man in the Oasis needs you to find the pieces to recreate the Earth Spirit’s face. Now that you have the Royal Key, go back to the cauldron in Al-Balad and take the teleportal there. You’ll arrive at the Likeness of the Great Spirit.

Talk to the woman in the back and she’ll let you go through. If you read the messages on the floor, they’ll tell you what you need to find:

’Two eyes to shine through darkness’

’A mouth sealed so tight that only time will open it’

’Two ears, born from the same heart’

’A nose to search high and very low indeed for secrets’

Give all the parts to the old man in there and he’ll finish the ritual, summoning the Earth Spirit. After a cutscene, he’ll agree to help you, and he’ll give you the Earth Amulet.

Congratulations! This amulet is needed to progress on the final dungeon, but it can also be equipped as an accessory, giving you +20 defense and +10 style. You can also use it as an item in battle to cast a spell similar in power to Fissure.

Your next step is to recruit the Air Spirit. If you did that already, the Water Spirit will join you when you get back to the ship.
