Unlocks: Insect Megalith, Peace Conference (Gustave)*

(* If there are less than 3 hitherto completed scenarios on the world map)

Objective

In North Gate you finally become acquainted with your rescuers. Primiera the red-haired girl and Roberto the mysterious gentleman. You also meet Roberto's friend Gustaf at the Inn. Explore the town and prepare before heading off to the Giant Worm Hole.

Follow the path to see a large root blocking the path with some ants scattered around it. Head south and fight the ant enemies. Everytime you defeat one it will retreat to the giant root and start eating it. After you have sent 5 ants, the root will have been chewed through, allowing you access to the proper portion of the dungeon. (Defeating any of the plant enemies will reduce the ant number by 1, therefore do not kill any until the root is destroyed)

Explore the cavern collecting all the items you find, especially the useful Blood Star Quell. In one room you will see various roots and vines hanging from the roof. Examine them to give them a pull, often dropping items to be collected. Be careful, however, as some will drop enemies on you, like the Volcanoid, not seen since "Beyond Grand Valley", and nearly twice as powerful this time around.

To the south of this room is a small chamber with a few Slimes in. This room is unique in that the Slimes will split and duplicate, filling the room after a short while. If you defeat one, another will simply duplicate to replace the dead Slime. By fighting the Slimes with weak attacks that do not consume more WP/SP than the character's WP/SP regeneration, you can increase everyone's HP, WP, SP & Skill levels... crucial for the upcoming final battle.

Once you have cleared the Giant Worm Hole of all the treasure you can simply return to the entrance to finish the scenario and Ginny's first successful quest as a would-be Digger.

• Slime - 283-10869 HP, 40-100 LP, Reduce Hit damage

Notes

• You can complete the scenario by simply leaving the Giant Worm Hole as soon as you enter, though this will result in you missing out on some good items and training chances.
• The Ant Commander enemies are good to Duel against, to both boost character skills and try to learn the ellusive "Soul Hymn" Spell with Gustaf.
• A tougher version of the Volcanoid (boss from "Beyond Grand Valley") can be fought by pulling on all the hanging roots in Ant Cavern.
• It is possible to 'power level' in the Slime room. Attack the Slimes with weak Arts/Spells equal to, or lower than, the character's regeneration as to not waste your WP & SP. As the Slimes will duplicate indefinitely you will have a constant source of battles, with little risk of dying. Setting up a rapid-fire controller will speed the process up, continually executing the same Arts over and over, thus increasing the character's HP, WP and SP in preparation for the final battle. Equiping Quells will also remove the trouble of having to replace/repair broken weapons.
