Yes, I am still enjoying the HECK out of this game! Just listen to the music for a bit! I’m in a cave looking for some kims (money) that I was told would be here. It is a bit easier to understand what certain items and spells do when you have a guide to help out. The game offers zero help with anything. I guess back in the day trial and error was the thing, but I do prefer to know what, say, an agave jewel does (which I misread and used in error to replenish mp 😂)

I have reached Helwig.
There aren’t as many boss fights as I expected. There were a few villages that had none, and the latest in the previous place was surprisingly easy.
I have a map to help me stay on track where I’m going between villages, so I figured I’d count how many villages I have left. Helwig is the fifth last place. So I’m farther than I thought!
Inventory is limited and while I am lvl 17, MPs aren’t as plentiful as I’d hope, but the spells are helpful!

@quester Games Database has the instruction manual. Unlike many RPGs of the time, which might have either a much longer mini-walkthrough or no explanations whatsoever, this one looks to have been somewhere in between, with some items listing "You'll find out!" for their purpose.
