Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim (PC) [22] - Emel'entary, Dear Watson

The second half of Kishgal is fairly straightforward with one large-but-simple puzzle but, even better, are the goodies found just after the midpoint as we find the final shield and an enormous cache of Emel that lets us easily forge the game's best armor.
After reaching the point of no return in Wyvern Corridor, it's time to... grind off-camera to take down that superboss back in the Ruins of Lost Time.
