Forward to the Past

After Magus's defeat, a massive Gate pulled everyone in. You wake up in Ayla's hut - she found you injured near Mystic Mountains. The northern woods are burning; the Reptites have attacked Laruba Village in revenge for Ayla taking back the Gate Key.

Laruba Ruins

Trading Hut. Before leaving Ioka Village, check the Trading Hut. The trader now offers upgraded equipment - the best weapons currently available for everyone except Frog.

Visit the Hunting Range to stock up on materials if needed. Ruby Vests and Rock Helms are particularly useful for the dungeon ahead.

Finding Laruba. Head north and west to find the ruins of Laruba Village. The Reptites burned it to the ground. Talk to the villagers; Ayla speaks with the elder about using Dactyls to reach the Reptite fortress. When she leaves, follow her.

Optional: Guardia Castle (1000 A.D.)

Before continuing, you can return to the End of Time and visit other eras. Several things have changed after Magus's defeat.

Guardia Castle. With Marle in your active party, you're finally allowed inside Guardia Castle in 1000 A.D. Your sentence is suspended; the Chancellor wants to be rid of Marle. You can even visit your lawyer Pierre.

Castle treasure. Explore the castle for valuable items:

• Hyper Ether - Right of entrance, go up
• Elixir - On the way to King's Bedroom
• Hi-Ether - In King's Bedroom
• Hyper Ether - On the way to Marle's Room
• Mega-Elixir - In Marle's Room

There's also a locked chest upstairs; ignore it for now - you'll open it later.

600 A.D. changes. Everyone in 600 A.D. thanks you for defeating Magus; Frog receives recognition at the castle. In Medina Village (1000 A.D.), the statue now depicts Ozzie instead of Magus.

Dactyl Nest

Return to 65,000,000 B.C. and head north from Ioka Village to find the Dactyl Nest. The enemies here shouldn't pose much trouble after Magus's castle.

Combat tip. Kill the Schists (rocks) first to prevent Cave Apes from counter-attacking. Finish one Schist at a time; they attack once they wake up.

First area. Head north and defeat the Cave Apes and Schists. Fight the 2 Avian Rex enemies at the northern end, then climb the wall to the upper ledge. Grab the Mid-Ether from the chest. Follow the path west and south, defeat 3 Schists, and collect a Mid-Potion from the southeast.

Upper area. Continue north along the eastern path and climb up. Defeat enemies heading north, climb another wall, then go south to find a Mesozoic Mail - equip it on whoever needs defense. Climb the final wall; enemies emerge as you approach, so defeat them and continue to the summit.

Getting the Dactyls. At the top, Ayla calls the Dactyls. She permanently joins your party; choose Frog or Robo as your third member for their attack power and healing. Your party flies off on the backs of three Dactyls toward Azala's fortress.
