After watching the conversation in the Headquarters and Aspia Castle, you'll be free to walk around. Note that inside the castle some treasure chests are locked and you can't open them. Before leaving:

- Small Mithril - inspect a barrel inside the castle.

Once you try to leave, Braff (general Fafhard's son) will talk to you and ask you if you're heading to Storich. Now it's up to you to tell him the truth ("Yes") or lie ("No"), I think it won't change anything. Outside, walking on the bridge, Zero and Eldar stop Synbios to ask him a favor. Synbios accepts and Zero takes Kahn's Elbesem Orb to help Medion.

In the city, lots of items can be found:

- 05 gold coins - shelf in a house.
- 40 gold coins - shelf in a house.
- Healing Drop - inspect barrel in a house.
- Large Mithril - inside a box outside.
- Large Mithril - inside treasure chest in the Item Shop.
- Large Mithril - enter the Inn and go upstairs. In the second floor, locate a room with an old man and a boy. Enter it and leave: once you go through the door, you will be facing a wall with a window, right? Hit Synbios' face on the wall, turn right, and walk one step. Inspect, you found it. - view screenshot!
- Power Wine - inspect barrel in the basement of the Inn.
- Small Mithril - crate behind the barracks building.

You can buy a Saint Ankh (acquire Support magic) in the deals section on Weapon Shop, and a Life Ring (for 3000 gold coins) if you bug the item seller!

HINT: There's a girl near the fountain that can be pushed physically... If you push her to the red box between two houses, she transforms to Penn and jumps on Synbios' head. This has no use at all, it's just for the fun. :)

Now exit the city using the gate near the church, and head to Storich.

This battle has a small glitch: have Eldar to fly over the central mountain in the battlefield, until you find a spot you can "Inspect", but no item is found! Seems like a programming bug, that is present in the US, UK and JP versions of the game.

Enemies:

There are a lot of items to be found, they are:

- 50 gold coins - shelf in a house.
- Armor Milk - inside crate in a house.
- Desert Ruins Map - inside chest in old man's house.
- Large Mithril - inside chest in a house.
- Large Mithril - in front of the HQ. To find it, enter the HQ, then leave it. Now, align the camera using "Y", and make Synbios walk one step pressing "Down". Inspect and find it (strangely enough, he will only inspect if he's in that exact position, and not by looking in other directions). - view screenshot
- Small Mithril - inspect right corner of the counter in the bar. - view screenshot

Again, you can use the buy trick in the shops to get special items. Bug the item merchant until she sells you the Loincloth for only 8 gold coins, and the weapon seller will offer you a Mithril Claw.

I believe it is not possible to access the other side of the town, so there's nothing left to do here. Now, head to the exit of the city and prepare to another battle.

You must win this battle to enter the Volcano Cave, and finally reach Flagard. During the battle, you can access a tomb to get various useful items. Be sure to do not kill the boss outside until you get all the important goodies.

Enemies:

Enemies inside the tomb:

*Let the Thief get items from locked chests, then hit him to retrieve them.

Items inside tomb:

- Angel Wing - inside barrel, break it.
- Goddess Tear - inside barrel, break it.
- Heat Axe - inside locked treasure chest.
- Large Mithril - inside locked treasure chest.
- Potion - inside locked treasure chest.
- Small Mithril - inside locked treasure chest.

Inside the cave, you will face the Baby Dragon. You may choose one of the following strategies:

#1 (recommended) - Don't kill the Baby Dragon. Just ignore him and have Synbios to reach the exit quickly. By doing this, you will have access to a special room with items on Scenario 2.

#2 (*not* recommended) - Since the Baby Dragon is not the boss, you may kill him since some other monster is alive, get the Goddess Tears he will drop, then cast the Return spell. Now repeat the process until you have lots of Goddess Tears, and also high level characters. This is only recommended for those who have no plans to play the Scenario 2. If you do this, a big rock will block a room with items and Medion's army will be unable to get them.

Items to be found during battle:

- Dark Matter - inspect the ground to the right, in the middle of the cave, like in this screenshot.
- Large Mithril - ground, near the point your party starts. The location is pointed by the cursor in this screenshot
- Mithril Dirk - inside treasure chest (only Eldar is able to get it).

Enemies:

*appear during battle.

Outside the cave, Synbios reaches Fafhard and his troops before they destroy Flagard, Synbios' hometown. You must stop him at any costs, so another battle take place.

Note: If you cast the Return spell or use an Angel Wing in this battle, your party will fly to the Storich church. When you make your way back, you won't have to fight the Volcano Cave battle again, whatever you killed or not the Baby Dragon. Then, don't worry about going to Storich if you wish so.

You will find yourself between two large troops. Hint: try to defeat the troop near Aspia's gates before facing Fafhard and his army.

Enemies:

After the battle, Fiale, one of the Four High Priests of Bulzome, kills Fafhard and enters Flagard.

- Large Mithril - inside well.
- Large Mithril - treasure chest in the Inn.
- Potion - inside another well.
- Small Mithril - inspect a fireplace in a house.

Note: If you inspect the sign near the stones to the left, Penn will suddenly pop up and jump to the air. This has no apparent use, but make it for the fun anyway.

Once you're done, go to the church, stand behind the altar and talk to the Priest. He will reveal a secret passage that leads to Flagard Fort. Now, all you have to do is inspect the Republic Emblems until you find a secret door.

Enter the Fort, you'll meet Fiale and Lord Conrad.

HINT: Synbios will be distant from the others when the battle starts. Have him to cast a Spark spell or attack Fiale: the High Priest will drop the Ship Key, an item that will affect other Scenario. Now, you should cast Return or use an Angel Wing quickly, before Synbios is killed. Be sure also to hold the item, and DO NOT store it in your HQ until the next chapter starts, so Zero can get it (there seems to be a bug where Zero won't get the Ship Key if it's in HQ!).

When you go back to the battle, you'll have the item, so just concentrate on the fight now. Fiale will escape before you kill him, don't worry.

Enemies:

*Escapes from battle.
**The Ship Key will drop once Fiale gets a hit, and not when he dies.

Lord Conrad (Synbios' father) dies, Masqurin cries loudly... A sad moment of this Scenario. Unfortunatelly this is unavoidable.

"Synbios and his compatriots returned to the Republic, where they were greeted by both citizens and high officials happy to see that they were safe. But not all, however, welcomed them, and they received some frigid stares. The financial crisis of the Republic caused internal turmoil in Barrand. This severed the strong sense of unity among the Republican regions, as some lords resorted to radical activities. General Fafhard, whom they reluctantly fought because of a misunderstanding, was defeated."
