Notes
Star Ruby is on B3 in the Vampire's room -- defeat the Vampire boss first, then grab it. It's required to access the road through Giants' Cave to reach Crescent Lake. Coral Sword (ATK 19) deals bonus damage to aquatic enemies -- useful through the Sunken Shrine later. Mythril Shield (DEF 8, Warrior/Knight/Ninja) in the B4 southwest room is a strong defensive piece worth fighting through the monster chests for. The B4 southwest room is the deepest chest cluster. All three chests have monsters. Come prepared with adequate HP before opening them.
