Some of you might remember me asking for Skies Of Arcadia help a long while back. Well, after a very long session late last night, I finally managed to move forward.
In a nutshell (as best as I can pull off that technique), I was stuck in Mt. Kazai, wandering aimlessly.
I think you're expected to be around level 30 when you are done with the mission; I'm at level 38 or 39.
I couldn't ever figure out where I was supposed to go to move forward in the game, and probably spent 20 hours pointlessly running into random encounters. The game clock shows almost 80 hours now.
BUT, around midnight last night I finally found where I was supposed to go, with the help of a very poorly-written FAQ over at Gamefaqs (I finally gave in and cheated/looked up the FAQ), I found my way, and got to fight the super-badass-stone-turtle. The turtle was far less challenging than the FAQ suggested. He was very strong, but not aggressive at all.
Around 1:30am my party defeated the Turtle, was returned to the ship at the pier, and I saved and went to sleep. Yahoo!
And now it's back to Progress....
