A Misanthrope's Throne

*looks at sidequest list*

Everything...looks...so...hard...

*looks at severely underlevelled party*

x___x

I quote Kouli's walkthrough:

South of where you are is a big desert area, but at the SE, there is a small
area. This small area is just a bit north of where you got out Barheim Passage
from before. Since you have the Barheim Key, you can go in there. Within, you
can save your game at the Gate Crystal. From the area just south of the Gate
Crystal, go west. There are 2 paths. Take the upper one. Enemies in here are
not that bad and you can just storm through this.

The enemies were ten levels higher than me, with SEVEN THOUSAND HP EACH. What level was HE at before going to Jahara???

I spent three hours like this:

30 hi-potions only, at least even with gambits the charas know how to conserve...despite dying every other second.

Kudos to the battle programmers who FINALLY realised all on-screen members dead =/= game over. ^__^
