The Sylvan Cave is located in the northwest corner of the underworld.
Although this place is optional, I highly recommend that you come
here because of 1) all the treasure, and 2) coming here lets you get
the Sylph summon. NOTE: to get Sylph you must come here before you
go to the moon. Be warned before you go in, though, that the monsters
here are pretty tough, and many of them use status attacks (bring
lots of Heals when you come). Also, some of the floor tiles here will
hurt you; casting Float prevents them from doing so. NOTE: whenever
you go onto a new screen you must recast Float.
The layout of the cave is pretty much a large maze; it's too complicated
for me to go into detail on it, so I'm just going to give you a few
pointers, then send you off exploring to find all the stuff. The first
room of the cave has only one exit from it, so there's nothing to
talk about there. The next room has two exits- one to the top of the
screen and one to the bottom of the screen. The one at the bottom
will get you to where the Sylphs are, and the one at the top will
get you to the bulk of the treasure. At the end of the path that leads
to most of the treasure is a teleporter that leads out of the cave.
Whether you choose to go to the Sylphs first, or to go to the bulk
of the treasure first is up to you. In the Sylphs' house you'll find
Yang, although he's not quite all there at the moment. In the upper
room of the house is a teleporter that will take you out of the cave.
After trying to talk to Yang in the Sylphs' house, go to Fabul and
talk to Yang's wife (in the left tower). She'll give you a Frying
Pan to use on Yang. Go back to the Sylphs' house and give Yang a good
whack with the Pan to get him to his senses. He'll want to help you,
but since he's injured the Sylphs will offer to help in his place.
Rydia has now learned Sylph. You're not quite done yet, though. Take
the Frying Pan back to Yang's wife and she'll give you the Spoon in
return, which is the most powerful throwing weapon in the game. |
