ITEMS TO GET: Chicken Heart, Miracle Water

   Now the Mist Generator is kaput, all the towns on the Sebucus Islands are back to normal. Pay a visit to Danpas in Vidna and he'll give you the Chicken Heart, which boosts your chance of running from battles succesfully. And if you go back and talk to Zalan in Jeremi, Pepe will show up and grant you Miracle Water.

   Warp to Octam, which is finally a functioning town. You can upgrade your equipment here, though the equipment will also be available in the next town you arrive at. However, be sure to stock up on Doors; you'll need at least one Door of the Wind to get back to Sebucus. BTW, if you can't find them, both shops are located in the door just to the left of the stairs up the Temple of Rem.

   Head to the top of the main temple in Octam and enter the door on the right (the red door). Talk to the guy there and he'll open the elevator for you. Ride it up to the flying train station, then exit out onto the roof. Walk up the stairs and talk to the leftmost of the three Flying Seru wielders to board the train.

   Watch the cool scenes that follow; eventually, you'll end up crashing into Karisto Station, where you're rescued by Cara. When all is said and done, head south to leave the station. The booth near the exit will sell you a "Travel Kit", consisting of 5 Healing Blooms, a Door of Wind, and a Door of Light, for 5000 G. It's a rip-off; don't buy it unless you really need it.

   You're now stranded in Karisto Kingdom; the only way back is to use a Door of Wind. Don't worry if you don't have one; you can buy them soon. For now, just head north and west a little. Follow the spiral of mountains (hit L1 to look at your map) until you reach the tower at the center -- Sol.
