NOA is gifted with longer spirit bar from the begining, so you can user 5 directional combination arts.
Try to level up as many as you can, until your spirit bar can contain 6 directional combination, and learn your soon to be bread and butter art, the "TEMPEST BREAK"
| Tempest Break | Normal | 36 | Right, Right, Left, Up, Up, Up |
When you are out of HP, talk to TERRA and she will *lick* your wound (Yikes!!). and your HP will heals completely.
There is also a healing shroom on the upper left side of the room, pick it up.
If TERRA ask you to eat, asnwer with NO to keep leveling.
Try to leveling as long as possible, until TERRA think that the training is enough.
Now follow TERRA which she about to tell you something, and then suddenly there is an earthquake.
The earthquake seems cracking the cave wall and MIST came through it.
Now, you must go with TERRA to escape the cave and go to MT. RIKUROA.
Find your way back to your hideout where the crack is, and fight any enemies you encounter.
On the crack, TERRA explain that you can get out and heading to MT. RIKUROA, but there will be enemies, so TERRA will accompany you.
Note: As long as TERRA is with you, you cannot die as she will #ehem (lick your wound) and restore your HP.
Use this opportunity to leveling up!
Now that both of you has join forces, find your way out of the cave.
Once you outside, head down to MT.RIKUROA.
On the way, head RIGHT to trigger TERRA explaining about MIST GENERATOR and how mist has make her feel ill.
Take the NAIL GLOVE nearby, and head back to previous road, to MT.RIKUROA.
Enter MT.RIKUROA and find your way to the summit.
Open and take 1x healing leaf on the nearby treasure chest, and SAVE your progress before proceeding on nearby save point.
Now enter the cave.
Open treasure chest containing power water and scarlet jewel along the way.
Now, before you can exit the cave, you have to defeat the miniboss, a GOLEM.
Actually this one is pretty easy.
Just give him slap on da face with 4x tempest break, and this dude will be done for.
Now that the boulder has been cleaned from the way, the cave will colapse and block the exit. But you manage to get out safely.
Now TERRA will tell NOA about who she is and why she has been with NOA all this time. She, turn out to be a RA-SERU who attached to the old wolf and raise noa.
Unfortunately, the WOLF is about to reach her old age and DIE, so TERRA has to move and attach to NOA as soon as possible or she will die with the WOLF.
And by reviving the genesis tree on the top of MT RIKUROA, TERRA will gain energy to be strong and always by NOA's side.
Or at least thats the plan.
Now, that the talk is done, continue the journey to the summit, and enter nearby cave.
Take the PHOENIX, a ressurection item and save your game before exiting the cave.
Congratulation, you have managed to reach the summit where the GENESIS TREE is =))
But, seems like you are not alone.
ZETO the same villain who destroy Vahn's village will appear, call his monster CARUBAN and harrass you.
TERRA who not strong enough will down in 1 wing slap.
Now you'll be controlling VAHN again, where META will sense TERRA's presense and ask vahn to quickly reach the summit.
And this will end "Showdrift Cave" chapter.
