If you didn't realize it, the boss you fought in the King's trial was the descendant of Yakra, the first boss in the game.

DUH! that makes total sense.. the family wanted revenge.

@@MrMilesTV Time travel is a cornucopia of disturbing results.

@MrMiles 4:28 In order to interact with the Sun Shrine that exists in every time period, you'll need to go visit the Sun *Temple,* which resides only in 2300 AD, but make sure you have fire resistance equipment when you are there. 20:52 - 39:21 Melphyx is basically a re-skin of Zombor, who you once fought at Zenan Bridge. It has 3 body parts instead of 2: the upper body, the lower body, and the core. The upper body has 5000 HP while the lower body has 4800 HP. Both are immune to all elements and can steal HP from both party members and even the core. The core itself only has 1000 HP, 127 defense, and 0 magic defense. It absorbs water/ice but absorbs all other elements. If left alive long enough after the other two are defeated first, it will flee. Charming the core awards you a Speed Capsule. When attacking any of the other two body parts, their defense will increase, but using a water/ice tech causes their defense to drop. So, you just have to use a water/ice tech (not with a physical dual tech) and then follow up with a powerful physical attack. 39:49 This one Strength Capsule only spawns when you defeat Melphyx 41:13 Now that you defeated Melphyx, put Robo in your party, and then speak to Fiona again. Once you've done so, make sure you save your game. 43:53 It is also quite random for this one Strength Capsule to be hanging out in the Sun Shrine of 600 AD. 47:46 It is VERY easy to miss a lot of this game's content and secrets, so of course you'd naturally miss Toma. Toma at least provides the player with some knowledge of where they can go in 600 AD for their next adventure. 51:04 Something to note about the Aecytosaur is that charming them can give you Ruby Armor, which resists 80% of fire damage. 1:03:07 Fossil Apes are very important enemies because charming them grants you one *Megalixir* per Fossil Ape. 1:08:02 Omega Flare is a powerful Shadow magic attack that hits every enemy that requires Lucca, Robo, and Magus to be used in action along with one of these three equipped with the Blue Gemstone. In addition, the three must need very specific techs to have access to use it: Lucca's Flare, Robo's Laser Spin, and Magus' Dark Bomb. 1:17:53 - 1:21:47 Rust Tyranno is a much more powerful variant of Black Tyranno. It has 25000 HP, 127 defense, and 50 magic defense. It pretty much fights the same as Black Tyranno, with the only difference being that it increases the damage of its Flame Breath attack every time it uses it. And if you get a successful chance at charming Rust Tyranno, you can obtain a Red *Plate.* 1:38:38 - 1:43:14 The descendent of Yakra, the first boss you fought when you arrived in 600 AD for the first time, Yakra XIII is quite strong, having 18000 HP. He is quite tough since he has Miasma to confuse your party members and strong needles to damage the party. Doing 10000 makes him use more dangerous techs, and he does have a finishing attack that may do roughly 200 damage on average. There's not much to really say here other than hammer away and hope for the best, but if you charm him, you'll obtain a White Plate. 1:44:45 I'm not sure what exactly would happen if you didn't have Marle in your party, considering the game requires her to be *IN* the party for this side-quest. I'm also not sure how things would go if she weren't in the party via hacking the game either. Maybe a character will just use Marle's dialogue to fit the sequence with their own animations. Important Note: The only remaining (main game) side-quests left to complete now are the Sun Shrine quest and the Northern Ruins quest, so you may need a guide on how to complete them. For the Rainbow Shell, search for it in the basement of Guardia Castle now that Melchoir has something for you, but make sure you do the Sun Shrine side-quest first. Also, don't forget to check your map with [L] or [R] when flying with the Epoch.

Yup forgot to save after waking Robo up.. so that will come back to haunt me later i'm sure.

[@johnhenderson5192]

Good job on three boss fights! Sand Skeleton is always one of the toughest fights and you figured it out pretty quick. and Congrats on Rainbow Shell. Might be a good idea to check in on it again... Also, keep spreading the speed love especially to your healers for faster heals :)

[@MrMilesTV]

yeah really good thinking of spreading the speed caps around. And thank you! sometimes it takes me a min to figure out the mechanics but its probably what I enjoy the most about boss fights.

[@mightymanatee5342]

To continue the quest with the desert go back to the house with Robo.

[@MrMilesTV]

done and done ;)
