Now that your inside of the Ship Graveyard go ahead & use your Radar to find all the treasures lying around in the crates & barrels.
From the entrance run east to the house at the south east corner. Talk to Dan inside to find that he is a retired Dream Chaser. Retired because he caused the death of his beloved in the Pleasing Garden. He enlists your aid in retrieving his wife's lost Bracelet, so head out & search for the Pleasing Garden. Upgrade your equipment & Hand Cannon before you proceed. |

Pleasing Garden |

The Pleasing Garden has no fixed location so you will have to run around the desert until your screen zooms in, much like when you were at the Maze of Death.
Also note that you must do the Pleasing Garden in the order I have specified as if you do not things will not be revealed that will allow you the progress. Now that you've found the Pleasing Garden & have entered, run north to the teleporter. If you wish to leave just walk south until you get the option to jump down. Run north into the next room & choose the east path following it until you reach the teleporter. Go up and walk east until you reach the next intersection. Look above you & notice that one of the windows is actually a door that you can enter. Go through the door & continue along until you reach the next intersection. You will pass a save point here which I will recommend you save if your below level 16 as a boss is present here. At the intersection go south & enter the teleporter at the end. Enter the right doorway & grab the Duplicator. When your done enter the next three teleporters & you'll be back at the north teleporter. Return north to the intersection & this time go west until you reach the next intersection. At this intersection go south into the room to get the Heal Berry. Return to the intersection & go west to activate the button. Go back to the first intersection & go south back into the area with the four teleporters. Once here take two teleporters until you reach the south side going through the door below you. You will now be in a sand filled room with an orange crystal. Walk south until you see a monster burrowing around underground. Walk ahead of its path & drop Bombs to force it to surface. Touch it to begin the boss battle. |
Boss Fight: Gigmantis
|
HP: 7000
Exp: ~4500 Gella: 2580 Recommended level: 16-18 As you can probably guess from this guy he will be somewhat tough, but thankfully he has a weakness to water. Gigmantis has 3 attacks: Zero Armor Attack! which hits for >400HP Mantis Claw! which hits for >150HP Thunderbolt! which hits the party for >300HP The strategy is as follows. Have Rudy focus on using Hand Cannon with ARM Lock On when available. Have Jack focus on using Meteor Dive & Heal Blade if Cecilia can't heal during her turn. Have Cecilia focus on using Slow Down x2 -> Arm. Down x2 -> Summon Guardian (Stoldark), Freeze or Heal. Because of Gigmantis' weakness to water Stoldark can hit him for ~2000HP which is huge, plus when Cecilia uses Freeze it hits for ~600HP. Follow this pattern & Gigmantis will fall easily. |
Pleasing Garden
After the battle the head of Gigmantis will drop & you must use it to hit the orange crystal.
The purple barriers to the south will drop allowing you entrance into the room.
Here you will find Jacks 3rd tool, the Grappling Hook.
Now that you have the Grapple return to the intersection & this time run north.
The Grappling Hook is used to pull yourself across open gaps via the use of gold or purple pillars, you may remember that there was a gold pillar in Lolithia's Tomb, which is one of the pillars that you could not access previously.
You will now be in an open area where two gold pillars are facing each other across a gap.
Use the Grapple to pull yourself across & then continue north, taking the north portal at the end.
Go north & grab the Bracelet, then head south to enter the teleporter bringing you back to the entrance of the Pleasing Garden.
From here jump off & return to the Ship Graveyard.

Ship Graveyard
Go back & speak to Dan where he will teach you about what courage really it, this will cause Jack to gain his 3rd Force Ability, Sonic Vision.
Sonic Vision is an incredibly useful ability as it is essentially a critical hit attack. When paired with Arm. Down & Hyper (when you have access to advanced spells) it will hit for the damage cap of 9999.
After the conversation with Dan you will overhear two people talking about a merchant ship who has just arrived at port.
They will also mention a Ghost Ship which is where our journey takes us next.
