With the bridge now repaired, the northern continent opens up. Two stops this chapter: Matoya's Cave to the north and the port town of Pravoka to the east.
Matoya's Cave
Walk north from the bridge until you come across water. Take a left around it and keep heading north until you find a cave.
Inside, head into the room and talk to Matoya. She's a blind witch who's lost her Crystal Eye and can't see without it.
You can't help her yet. Grab the 3 chests on the left side of the room (two Potions and an Antidote) and head out.
Pravoka
Walk south towards the mountains and follow the coastline east until you reach Pravoka. Talk to the man in the middle of town. He'll tell you about the pirates pillaging the place. But before dealing with them, head straight to the Inn (50 Gil) and rest.
By now you should have some Gil saved from the encounters along the way. If not, grind outside town for a bit. Visit the shops for upgrades:
- Weapon Shop: Broadsword (450 Gil) for your Warrior or Red Mage
- Armor Shop: Iron Armor (640 Gil) for your front line, easily the biggest defensive upgrade so far
- Magic Shop: Temper and Invis (Level 2 spells). Temper stacks on your Warrior for serious damage.
The Pirates
Once you're ready, go towards the northwest corner of town and you'll come across Bikke the pirate captain surrounded by his crew. Talk to him and he'll have 9 of his pirates fight you.
Your Ship
Once the pirates are beaten, Bikke will ask for forgiveness and hand over his pirate ship. The inner sea is now open for exploration.
Rest at the Inn and exit Pravoka. Your ship's waiting at the dock.
