INTO THE WOODS

WORLD MAP
When you find yourself in the world map, go to the place with lots of trees. When you see the name "Blackmoon Forest" press <X>. There are lots of hob gobs and other bad things in here so watch out! This may be an opportunity for you to increase your experience points. Save the Aquasols for battles and use your Hob Jerky if you want to regain your health during non-battles.

TIPS ON ENEMIES

Jackals and Hobgobs -- a single <X> attack will kill them.

Armor Grub -- they get little damage from your physical attacks so use your CHI (ether spell). When it's your turn in the battle, push the up button in the directional button to highlight CHI. By now you'll probably have only Guided Shot. Select it and press <X> and then press <X> again.

Forest elf -- it packs a mean punch so concentrate your attack on one elf at a time.

FINDING YOUR WAY
After entering the Blackmoon Forest, turn [left]. You'll see a rock in the middle of the road. Jump on it. From there you can jump on to a bigger rock with ledges forming three steps. Remember to press <C> when pressing <T> to make higher jumps. When you get to the [top] of the steps, jump on the fallen log. Take note that the log is round so you might fall down if you stand near the edge. At the other end of the log, jump down. Turn [right] until you reach another fallen log with a big round rock on one end. You might see a hobgob blocking the rock. To get it out of the way, you have to initiate a fight by going to it and clicking <X> when you're near it. The rock will roll and to avoid being squashed, jump out of the way! If you jumped back to where you were walking before you got on the log with the big round rock, you're in luck! You'll see a save point by walking to the other end.

After the rock has rolled away, jump back to the log and walk to the place covered by rock before. There will be another long sequence of video and talking. Estimated sequence time: 2 minutes.
