After reading the letter Owen left behind, the party learns that he went searching for something at the Ancient Hill, marking their next location. Below you can find a complete walkthrough for the Ancient Hill, including how to beat the Golem boss at the end, and what to do against Funi enemies, if you encounter them.
Ancient Hill Walkthrough
You can get to the Ancient Hill by heading through thenewly-opened passage from En’s Harbor. Head to the world map from the Harbor, then proceed along the path until you reach the Ancient Hill.
The primary type of enemy you’ll encounter hereGoblins. These monsters canbuff their attack while reducing their own defense, making them quick to take down, but not before they deal a sizable amount of damage to your own party. You’ll probably want tostock up on potionsandmake ample using of healing magicto make it through this area.
As you enter the Ancient Hill, make use of the save crystal, then take a few steps forward to encounter Tan, the mysterious spirit summoner you met in the Harbor earlier in the game. After speaking to him, you’ll be attacked by bandits;fight them off using Tan’s abilities. After a few battles composed of different party members, Tan will leave and you’ll be free to explore the Ancient Hill.
Head to the left, then to the rightto find a chest containing a Heal Stone, thencontinue back along the left pathfor another chest holding aSmall Agate. Return to the save crystal, then continue forward.
Continue along the path of bridges, which will eventually lead to theNail Rock Regionof the Ancient Hill. Stay on the path forward,ignoring the unreachable cheston top of the small hill, until you reach theRiverarea of the Ancient Hill. Use the save crystal and get your party ready for a boss fight, then continue along the path.
Funi Encounter Guide
The Ancient Hill is the first location where you can encounter Funi, a strange enemy that will ask you to give it different items so that it can mix them around and give you something new.
Each turn, the Funi will ask you togive it a different item. Once you’ve given the Funi enough, it will tell you togive it a good smack. To do this, you’ll need tohit it with your highest damage attack. you’re able to boost your damage by firstlowering the Funi’s defense using Leo’s Helm Bash.
If you succeed, you may either take the item the Funi madeor attempt to make a stronger one, repeating the process. However, to make a stronger item, you’ll need tohit it with an even stronger attack, which might not be possible at this point in the game for you.
In any case, if you fail to give the Funi the correct items or don’t deal enough damage, it willturn on you. It dealshigh damage with each attackand has a lot of health, so we recommendretreatingif it comes to this.
Golem Boss Fight Guide
The Golem hasno weaknesses, but takeshalf damage from earth attacks. Status effects are also mostly ineffective against the Golem. Additionally, the Golem hastargetable Right and Left Arms, and dealing damage to these appendagesalso damages the Golem’s total health. Here are the main attacks the Golem will use.
When the fight starts, immediately have Leouse Helm Bash on either of the Golem’s Arms, thenfocus on that Arm with your other attacksuntil it is destroyed. Repeat this process for the second Arm.
The reason for this is that the Golem will usePummel, striking a single character with each Arm.Each punch will deal about a thousand damage, meaning unless your characters have over 2,000 health, they will die in one shot of Pummel.
To avoid this,focus on one Arm and destroy it as quickly as possiblebefore focusing on the next Arm. When one Arm is down, Pummel will become a simple punch, but this attack still does 1,000 damage, so be careful.
The Golem will also occasionally useEarthandEarthquake, dealing earth damage to one party member or the whole party, respectively. If you have anAmber jewel, consider equipping it to Kina or Cheryl toreduce the amount of earth damage they take.
Later in the fight, the Golem willbegin charging up for a turn, thenunleash Silvery Ray on its next turn, dealingvery high damage to the whole party. Use the turn the Golem spends charging up tomake sure everyone is near full health,or you risk an instant defeat.
After Silvery Ray, and with both Arms destroyed, the Golem becomes much easier. UseLeo’s SamidareandCheryl’s Ice Striketo deal consistent damage to it until it goes down.
Defeating the Golem will earn your party 888 experience and around 3,000 gold. With the Golem defeated, the party will help Owen back to his house in En before continuing on their journey. Next stop: the fortune teller in Vence.
