If you step foot in front of one of these, you’ll initiate an encounter with a group of enemies, so try toavoid their searchlightsas you navigate through the rest of the Basement.
To start, use the save crystal tosave and heal upif you need to, thenopen the chest near the broken security machineto getthree Clocks of Truth. Then, head down and avoid the next searchlight, or intentionally walk into it if you want the extra experience.
The chest next to this machine contains theFrostbird Belt, which has 24 defense and boostsresistance to fire damage. Equip this on Kina to help with the boss later on.
Next, you’ll come to a locked door with a blue and red switch. Leo willautomatically choose the red switch, which will trigger the security andbegin an encounter. Defeat the enemies then proceed through the newly opened door, which will lead you to another locked door and set of blue and red switches.
Once again, Leo will automatically choose to press the red switch, again triggering the security and starting an encounter. Head through the door after the battle, thenhide from the searchlight to open a chest containing an Elixir.
At the third set of switches, you will be able to choose the red or the blue switch. Despite Leo saying otherwise,choose the blue switchto safely open the door without triggering the security system. Head down the stairs to the next part of the Basement.
Now, you’ll be met withthree searchlights; when the first two rotate to the right, quickly move to the area in front of the third light, then move back so that you are pressed to the right of the second machine, avoiding the third’s light. Once the third light rotates to the right, quickly make your way through to the save crystal.
Save your game, then hit the red switch to begin the boss fight of the Toy Box Basement against theSalamander.
