Once you arrive at the third meteorite, walk northwest then head south after you walked around the northern tip of the mountain ranges. 18. Town of Karnak: (Party's Level: 11) Go to the weapon shop and buy something. I recommend buying Mithril Armor because you benefit most from it. Once you bought the Mithril armor, you'll get caught. Once you are in the jail, wander around for a while (perhaps few minutes) until Cid on next jail uses bomb. 19. Meeting with Cid: Once Cid opened the wall, talk to him, and he'll ask you to help him with stopping the shattering of the Fire Crystal.

Comment about enemies: Don't cast "Sandaa" magic to "Motoru Trap". It will explode (Of course, if you have AoMadoushi in your party, you can learn it.) Dont make "Kuruu Dasuto" alone. If you do, he'll cast "Flash" (Another AoMahou you can learn) and you have to use "Megusuri" to heal blindness. Once you entered the dungeon, go into the first door you see to get Elixer, next go to the left staircase to get "Mithril no Kote", then go down the stairs to get another Elixer, and finally go into the door on top. Once you get on the elevator, press the switch on left to activate it. Follow the route (it's straight route w/o forks)until you see four openings on bottom. Take the rightmost opening on bottom to get "Green Beret". One you got the "Green Beret" follow the route and youユll end up in the same four choices room. Next, take second opening from right (on bottom) to get the "Thief Glove". Take the same route as you did before to return to the same place. Finally, take the third opening from right to proceed further into the dungeon. Once you fall down, take the left door and take another left door to get to the saving point. After the save point, you'll see some puzzle. Solution to this puzzle (Skip this section if you'd like to try yourself) Once you are next to the first switch you can click, click it. Get off from that platform and click the switch on the furthest to the left. Run across the room and click both switches. Walk down and click the upper switch while you are standing on right of it. Click the last switch to get "Elixer" in the treasure box. Proceed through the upper right door. Be prepared for fight with boss. The Boss: Liquid Flame. Lv 19, HP 3000, Attribute: Fire & Wind, Weakness: Ice Normal way to beat this boss: Heal immediately when you get hurt by his Flame. Also, "Bulizado" series magic is effective against him. However, donユt cast magics when he is in the shape of hand.
Quick and dirty way to beat this boss: Make three "KuroMadoushi" (Black Mage) with "Koori no Rod" (Ice Rod) equipped. Make the fourth person "Aka Madoushi" (Red Mage) with "Iyashi no Tsue" (Heal Rod) you got in Tycoon castle. Then, let everyone cast "Bulizara" (Ice 2) and heal with Red Mages's "Iyashi no Tsue". 21.

(Party's level: 14) Treasures: Elixer x 6, 2000 Gilu x 3, Elf no Manto (Elfユs Cloak), Main Gauche, Shuriken, Ribbon, Esna (White Magic), Raijin no Jutsu Advice: Make a Thief in your party with "Tonzura". Run from all enemy except the one in treasure box. Fighting them will consume alot of time. Also, make at least one Black Mage that can cast "-ra" class magics (i.e. Bulizara, Faira, Sandara). Leave the crystal room from the hole. You have 10 minutes to leave this castle, or you'll be well done. After the save point, run up the staircase. Get two treasure boxes you see on the way. After obtaining two treasure box, go up the upper right staircase. Remember to run from all enemies (use Tonzura). Once you went up the staircase, get two treasure boxes located on right and left of the room. Once you got those two, go through the central door. After you went through the door, just run around to get into the door on lower screen. No treasures on this floor. Zip through the next floor too, since there is no treasure on this floor as well. Once you got to the carpeted room, go through the upper right staircase. Run to the lower exit (ignore the treasure box for now). Run south along the castle wall and get Main Gauche. Return to the room where you left the treasure box and get them all. Once you got all of the treasures on this floor, run UP the staircase on upper right corner. Run left across the exterior of the castle, then do down the staircase. Once you got down, go down to the lower exit of the room (again, ignore the treasure boxes for now). Run down the castle wall to get "Elf no Manto". Return to the room you left treasures and get all treasure boxes. Run down the CENTRAL staircase and you should end up in the carpeted room again. Go DOWN (There's nothing interesting behind central door.) and get two treasure boxes on right and left. Exit from lower door.

On the first room, there is hidden switches on the bookshelves, so push those to make your way through. I recommend learning "Level 5 Death" from 64 page.
