Chapter 4: In which the cool music starts


So, we were on a quest to recover....what was it, the silver bell? Okay.


These guys are thieves. Not sure how Zepic feels that I am now kicking their asses, but I'm sure Minea would love it if they knew.


These guys are a very good source of exp, especially compared to the ogres and goblins and wolves.


Followin the path, the best part about the thieves is their insanely high respawn rate.


Ah, the Solomon Shrine. Jeva gave the key to the shrine....I don't recall why. Maybe a book of Ys inside? Why are we collecting the books, anyway?


Oh yeah, Sara wanted us to, and this is a game about getting laid. But first, to enquire with the leader about this bell these guys stole...


Well fuck.


And double fuck. This can be extremely troublesome if you don't have high enough strength to kill the thieves head on. I don't, at the moment, but do have enough that I still do damage to them and plow through anyway.


Ah, finally, a cave. Heading off the chain to the right will send you back to the Solomon Shrine. Don't do that. It's bad.


Okay, so these guys didn't take the bell, and their silver is gone too. Something is fishy, and this game has seriously awful plot buildup.


Taking the chain to the right.....


Leads here. Yeah.


Time to enter the shrine, finally.

Original, Arrange


So, apparently we're in here for a book of Ys....I think. Let's find it.


Nothin this way.....though this is the direction to go in any version of the game except this one.


Why hello there glowing statue. This statue would not be glowing if Sara hadn't given us the crystal. Time to touch it!


........what the fuck?
