Upon entering "Mountain Letona", save on nearby save point before continuing up. Meta and Ozma then feel the presence of "Genesis Tree" is very near, probably at the summit.
Now, hurry and head up.
On the first road forked to the left, take it and pick up a "Magic Leaf" and "Wisdom Ring".
Head to the main road, and continue up until you found a cave. Enter it and take the "Guardian Water" at the end of the cave.
Now, back to the previous intersection and continue to the right path. On next intersection, go DOWN to picking up a "Power Ring", before continuing to the right, and enter the cave.
Now head back to previous road, and exit the cave. Outside, pick up nearby "Wisdom Water" inside treasure chest, and continue enter the next cave.
Inside second cave, open nearby treasure chest containing "Healing Fruit", before proceed to next save point.
Exit the cave and go up and finally reach the genesis tree at the summit. The tree seems like protected by some kind of a "Barrier".
After NOA touch it and failed, head to the left and pick up "Magic Fruit" inside nearby treasure chest. Now head back down, and "SONGI" will intercept.
Seems like this is "Songi's" doing, and if you want to release the barrier of the genesis tree, you had to beat him.
Now, prepare to face "Songi" for the second time, but this time its not a duel, but a 3 on 1 battle.
This time, "Songi" is stronger than before. Here's the strategy to beat him:
- His normal attack can be blocked with the help of "Defender Chain", so make sure to equip one for each character
- Despite the name containing "Light", his attack "Hyper Crush", "Hyper Lightning", and "Hyper Attack" are "DARK ELEMENT", so equip "Ebony Jewel" to reduce its damage.
- His HP are around 12.xxx so this will takes a while.
See how to beat it from video below, credit to Legaia Wiki:
After you beat him, he'll keep the promise and release the barrier from the "Genesis Tree".
Now you can revive it and free Ratayu from Mist's effect. Once revived, back to Ratayu ( either by walking or door of light ), and enter the now free mist ratayu town.
Enter ITEM and WEAPON shop, and buy the all new weapon, equipment and items. IF you have low on cash, do this "crazy rich quest" again, to have your wallet loaded with cash.
This ends Chapter 17 - Mountain Letona
