Is that...Tetra? What are we going to do? She's...a statue!
Oh. Hey. Sorry I'm late, kid! That fog just disappeared, so I charged in to find you. So...about that treasure! You got piles of it, right?
How...how can you even say that?! Link's friend is in trouble! And all you can think about is treasure?!
Oh, so this is your friend? She's looking a bit pale.
Ooh, something isn't right with this girl! Her...soul didn't get sucked away, did it?!
This evil ship drained away her life force.
Grandpa! What are you doing here?!
If you have come this far, Link... The power of the hero is with you. Now is the time for me to tell the rest of the story.
You're a clever boy. You may already know this... You see, these seas are my domain. I am not Oshus... I am the Ocean King. I was savagely attacked by an unfathomable evil.
His name...is Bellum. His evil ran so deep that it leeched the very life force from me. As you know, every creature in this world possesses a sacred power. This power is called life force. The Sand of Hours is a physical manifestation of that power. And that is what brought them here.
I struggled against my attacker in a great clash. But his evil was so dark that it slowly drained away my own life force. He was always a step ahead of my attacks, and I was eventually overcome. I was dragged to the sunless depths of the temple... Sealed up, my life force continues to drain away.
Using the life force he leeched from me... His evil spread, and bred more and more foul monsters. The spirits of Power and Wisdom were also imprisoned. But Ciela managed to split her soul and escape. That split was why so much of her memory was lost.
Even among the monsters born of the Sand of Hours, some are especially evil. The Phantoms who roam my temple take after the evil of their master. Supernatural strength, wrapped in plate armor... virtually invincible. They prowl the temple, searching for victims. No one can harm them. Of course, they were created to be untouchable.
I had only one option. My ocean of strength had drained to just a puddle. Using my last ounce of strength, I cloned myself, just as Ciela did. Then I made a humble home on Mercay Island. I used the Sand of Hours to make the hourglass and enter the temple. I studied my foe, searching for ways to defeat Bellum, and waited for my chance.
Ciela, I'm sorry I could not tell you sooner. I worried about the spirits of Power and Wisdom. I never expected to find you on the beach. You'd lost your memory, and monsters were nearby. I thought it best to keep quiet until the time came.
The sea's islands are rich with life force.
The Ghost Ship was made to drain that life force. They used a story of treasure to lure people in. It wasn't enough for Bellum to steal MY life force. He had to take what little he could from the people.
Tetra must have had a bold, vibrant soul. The Ghost Ship was drawn to that power. She didn't find it... It found her.
Wait...so you're saying there's NO TREASURE?!
Yes, that's what I'm saying.
From what I can sense, Tetra is still alive.
There is an island north of the Isle of Gust. Go there and find Zauz. He is a blacksmith. He will tell you more about the great evil. He knows how to slay Bellum.
This is some kind of sick joke, old man! The treasure! What about all the TREASURE! That was the only reason I put my life on the line! And now there's no treasure? Well, I...QUIT!
You quit? Didn't you even listen to his story? You're a man of the sea... Don't you want to help the Ocean King?!
NO! And you can't use my ship anymore!
Heh...heh...
No, no. I would never ask you to do this for free. If you help us defeat Bellum... I will grant you one wish. What do you say to that?
HEY! Quit standing around, kid! The Ocean King is in trouble! Ship out, kid! Anchors aweigh! I said, MOVE IT!
Hmmph. One word about a wish, and he leaped to action!
I'm so sorry... I shouldn't have involved you and Tetra in all this.
What people say
Isle of the Dead
You got a Regal Necklace! This mysterious necklace is adorned with curious gems.
Here rest the six sages to whom the way to the temple is known. Those who do not know will never pass the Phantom Corridor.
The resting place of the fourth knight, Brant of the Cobble Kingdom. Phantom Corridor ahead. Those without the way of the six sages are doomed.
I am the first sage. Go ↑ north through the first room.
I am the second sage. Go → east through the second room.
I am the third sage. Go → east through the third room.
I am the fourth sage. Go ↑ north through the fourth room.
I am the fifth sage. Go ↑ north through the fifth room.
I am the sixth sage. The sixth room is where Brant was laid to rest.
This is where the dead of the Cobble Kingdom, long ago fallen, lay at rest. I am one of four knights chosen by the king. I am the fourth knight, Brant. Those spirits you have with you, they are Power, Wisdom, and Courage, yes? Why are the three spirits of the Ocean King with you? Well...Secret!
King Mutoh, the holder of the Aquanine, is not here. He is on the island that is guarded by a rock wall, the Isle of Ruins. You'll need that Regal Necklace to get there. That will calm the cyclone at the entrance, so that your boat may pass. There, look for the third knight, Bremeur. Got it? YesHuh?
Most of the words have been worn off and can't be read...
- Linebeck
Eh? You want to leave? YesNo
I can't believe what has happened to the Ocean King while we slept! So that is why you are looking for the Aquanine? We grew rich under the Ocean King's protection! We must do something! I believe that our King Mutoh has the Aquanine that you are looking for. If you explain your quest, you may convince him to give it to you.
I see. I won't ask if you don't want to tell me. If that is all, go away.
- Linebeck
Whoa! Looks like you did it! How about we set sail? YesNo
- Linebeck
All right, then hop on board!
- Linebeck
Well, then go get some information about the pure metals!
The sacred tree grows from the king's chin. West 13 and north 7. The path to the graveyard where the six sages dwell, hidden underground.
Explorer's Compass Riddle of the lost ancient civilization.
Volume 1 "The Riddle of the Cobble Kingdom Civilization" In seas ruled by the Ocean King, the cultured Cobble Kingdom soared above all. It was more glorious than any other city until it vanished from history! Ruled by the king and his four knights, the temple once held great treasure.
Volume 2 "Hidden Treasures: the Aquanine" Three great treasures are hidden around these seas. One is the Aquanine. Legend has it there is but one of each of these pure metals in this world. Legend also says that one of the pure metals is kept in the Cobble Kingdom.
Volume 3 "Lost Kingdom: Where Did the Island of Dreams Go?" Some say there is treasure in the Cobble Kingdom, but no one has seen the island. Only the ancient legend remains. Some say it is an island of dreams. "Proof" must be found on the Isle of the Dead to reach the Cobble Kingdom.
The Journal of the Esteemed Explorer, McNey. Normally on a map, up is north, down is south, right is east, and left is west. But looking at a map today, I discovered the secret of this island. This island is shaped like the profile of someone wearing a crown! He is looking east, and if you look closely, you can see his eye and mouth. I'm betting there is a big secret about the Cobble Kingdom hidden here. I still haven't found the treasure that is supposed to be in this room. Tomorrow I'm planning to go to the temple on the northeastern corner. It's time to prove what I wrote in the article for the Explorer's Compass. There is supposed to be some absurdly cryptic puzzle or trick there. But with my keen explorer sense, I should have it solved before lunch! I will find the Aquanine and show them all!
Look, on top of that desk! There's a book there, Link!
Aquanine?! Do you think the pure metal is on this island? Well, it's worth looking. There's a bunch of books around. Let's read them.
Who knew it would come to this? My name is McNey. I was once a famous explorer... I entered before solving the entrance puzzle and came to the Phantom Corridor. But I could not get out. And look what happened. This maze is madness... If you don't know which way to go, you'll end up walking in circles. Circles...
- Linebeck
Let's give up! This is getting...dangerous!
If I keep going down, I should be able to reach the entrance... If you haven't solved the puzzle yet, find the entrance while you can. Otherwise, you'll end up like me and run out of energy... Before you're able to find the exit, cursed to remain here forever.
Face west from the king's eye and shoot an arrow.
Must I say it again? If you keep walking down, you should reach the exit!
Go now. I must return to my slumber.
Venture forth through the door.
Looks like you met the third knight, Bremeur. Take care of King Mutoh.
Thanks to you, I can sleep in peace. I appreciate all that you have done.
You should go. I will return to my slumber.
- Linebeck
So, you want to hit the sea, eh? YesNo
- Linebeck
Yeah. I gotta wax the old deck, so tell me when you want to ship out!
Seems deserted for now, but this place wasn't always empty! I wonder if there is some secret hidden here somewhere. How about you, kid? What are you doing? I'll be fixing the ship. Go find yourself some adventure on the island!
You should go. I am going back to sleep.
Volume 4 "The Small Island of the Cobble Kingdom" In the area of ocean near the Cobble Kingdom, there is an uncharted isle. Wonders are commonplace in this kingdom of dreams.
Isle of the Dead
Brant's Temple
Ghost Ship
EEEEEEEEEEEK! I HATE SPIDERS!
Sob...sob...
Oh! You... Could you be the legendary Link? YesNot me!
Don't be silly! You're Link, right? I saw right through your little white lie! You knew?Yes
You...you finally came?! I am the youngest daughter of the great house of Cubus...
My sisters were living in peace, when we were suddenly snatched away! We've been locked up on this boat ever since, waiting to be saved.
But...everything is fine now that you're here to rescue us, Link! This is your chance to be a true hero!
Will you save my older sisters? They are locked up somewhere on this ship. There are four of us sisters in the Cubus family. I just...couldn't bear it if I was the only one saved. Tee-hee! Please bring my older sisters to me? OKNo way!
Thank you so much! This ship is so very dangerous! Most of the abducted have fallen victim to the Reaplings in the hold. I must say, they are... Fallen! Fallen! They are the fallen! Oh, excuse me! Never mind that. I don't know what came over me... I'm so very worried about my sisters. Please hurry and rescue them! I wish you luck!
Oh?! Am I the only one that you are going to rescue? Because I'm the youngest?! My older sisters! Please, you MUST help them! OKFine
My sisters are probably being tormented by the Reaplings somewhere. And I fear the same thing might be happening to that poor Tetra girl.
Pardon me? Tetra? I have never heard of that person before. Maybe my sisters have heard something about her, though. Perhaps...
There are horrible monsters called Reaplings that patrol the floor below. Be careful... You might get so scared that your face gets frozen that way!
That leaves my older sister, the biggest scaredy- cat of us all. She always did love hiding in small spaces. You know, like barrels.
Oh, yes, Link. A lovely treasure rests here... There are two chests. If you must pick one, definitely pick the left... Left! Yes, yes...the left! You know which is left, don't you? Of course!No
Good! You're a smart boy, Link!
Teee-heee! Aren't you a funny boy, Link! Left is the side that isn't right, of course!
Oh... Who's there? Aha... So my younger sister asked you to save me...
I see. I am the third sister of the house of Cubus. Link, will you please take me to where my younger sister is?
Eeeeee! Link!
Oh... I'm so sorry. I was frozen with terror! I'm fine now. Really. Let's keep going... When I am surprised or get left behind, I start to panic! When that happens, please come close to me and speak to me.
Eeeeeeek... Waaaaah!
Eeeeeeeeeeheeeek... Link.
Eeeeeeeee... I'm all alone...
Oh... I'm sorry. I'm feeling better now. Let's go.
Tetra? Oh! Ahhh.... Oh! I have no idea who that might be. I'm very sorry.
I didn't think that you would come through for us like this, Link!
Oh... I'm sorry! I was so scared that I couldn't move. Let's continue. If I get scared again... please, won't you come up to me and talk to me?
Oh... Who are you? Ahhh, I see. Teehee!
I'm the second daughter of the house of Cubus. Oh, no. I've never heard of anyone named Tetra. But enough about that. Oh, won't you escort me back to my dear younger sister?
There are many steel drums in the storage locker on the bottom floor!
Oh... You found me. I was getting so lonely sitting here by myself... Who are you? I see. Well, I am the eldest sister of the house of Cubus. Oh, please take me to my younger sisters, Link!
Oh, dear! Oh, it looks like I made a little mistake! I'm sorry.
What are you doing, Link? Please don't make another boo-boo, or I think I might cry!
Oh! The treasure chest... You already took it? Tee-hee! How unlucky for you!
Oh, big sister!
There you are, little sister!
I'm so happy that you're OK...
Thank you very much, Link! I'm so very sad that my older sister was not with Tetra after all. Will you please bring my other two sisters back here? We will be hoping for your safe and swift return, Link...
Thank you so much, Link. Oh, but it seems as though this sister was not with Tetra either. Will you please bring my last sister back here safely? We will be hoping for your safe and swift return, Link...
We will be waiting with bated breath!
We will be eating this candy while we wait, smirks on our faces!
Oh, big sister?
There you are, little sister!
Circle around, sisters. Time for some quality family time...
Hssss! The Reaplings should've scared the life from this boy in the hold... Doesn't he know how he's supposed to play along in this little game?
Teehee! All it means is we're going to have to play extra rough!
Awwwww, did you come here to save Tetra, little man? Teehee! Oh, no, no! Instead, we'll play with you the same way we played with her!
It's game time, girls! Let's show Link the way to the playing field!
That was amazing, Link! You beat those wicked volley girls at their own game! Come on, let's go use this key and rescue Tetra!
Some things in this world were meant to be pulled. 2 4 5 1 3 There is always an order in which such things must be pulled!
If you want to save Tetra, you'll have to play a match of dead man's volley first! So... Are you a big enough boy to return these volleys?
You really know how to play, Link... Gosh, we'd love to reward you, but we don't have any trophies for you. Instead, you can...teehee... drag that precious Tetra of yours with you. Tee-hee!
Good-byeeeeeeeeeee!
Oh! There is one thing I have to tell you. The creepy creatures with the hoods and sickles are called Reaplings. They are evil, but they are even more devilish when they're angry... So no matter what you do, don't shoot arrows into their backs. The back is a sensitive part of the body, you know!
Steel drum storage ahead! Flip the switch to move the spikes. The switch is on the left and straight ahead.
Hurry up! The steel drums are giggling to themselves, waiting for you to free them!
You got the Ghost Key! You can unlock the door sealed with ghost power.
- Linebeck
S-so this is the Ghost Ship everyone is always t-talking about...
- Linebeck
It's even scarier...than I imagined! And I can imagine some scary stuff!
- Linebeck
What?! Is Linebeck shaking over there?! He's such a cucco!
- Linebeck
Oh, put a crab in it!
- Linebeck
Just caught a chill is all. One of those frigid nor'westeaster winds...
- Linebeck
So yeah... Anyway, you just charge on ahead, Link!
- Linebeck
I'll catch up with you as soon as I warm up a little.
- Linebeck
Meanwhile... Try to find your friend Tetra. And make it fast, kid!
- Linebeck
Ahhh! I get it. Linebeck's nothing but a frozen, clucking cucco... Why don't you wait there, shivering. Just get real comfortable. Maybe you'll lay an egg! BA-GAWWWK!
- Linebeck
You shut it, sparkles! If we find treasure, don't expect any share for yourself!
- Linebeck
You can shovel that treasure right into these pockets!
- Linebeck
Oh! So that's Tetra, huh? What?! No? Hey, kid... Maybe you should focus a little more on your damsel saving?
- Linebeck
Come ON! Hurry up and find your friend Tetra! This isn't the kind of place I'd want to throw a blanket down and have a picnic! Or do you want to haul anchor and leave this ship? YesWait!
- Linebeck
I got it. Let's check out for a while!
- Linebeck
We've made it way too far to give up. You wait here, Captain Shiverknees!
Wait, Link! Before you leave this floor, let's reunite that Cubus sister with her little sister. I'm sure they're anxious to see each other, after all!
Before you leave this floor, let's take that Cubus sister back to her little sister. I'm sure they're anxious to see each other, after all!
Look at the map, Link! Looks like there's someone at the front of the ship... Let's see what's going on up there first!
Hrmm...there has to be something beyond here. Doesn't look like this will open with any normal key, huh? Let's leave it for now and keep going, Link!
There's something funny about this door, but I don't think we can open it now. Let's keep moving, Link!
D-did you see that?! That monster is even scarier looking than anything we've seen before! That's probably one of the Reaplings the Cubus girl was talking about...
Wh-what happened?! That freak has the ability to go through WALLS! I bet it can even see through walls... Creepy! Careful, Link.
What's wrong? You can't just run around, Link! You've got to send those glowing balls right back at them! They said this game's a nasty game of volleyball, right? Return the balls! I bet if you try hard, you can hit those things with your sword!
I sure didn't think anything could be alive on this ship, Link! Thank goodness that Cubus girl was still alive!
I'll bet they've got Tetra locked up somewhere, just like the Cubus sisters! I'm guessing those Reaplings in the hold are scary. But it doesn't matter! We've got to help that girl out. Maybe the older sisters who are locked up will know where Tetra is.
SPIDER! EEEEEEEK!
EEEEEEK! SPIDER!
EEEEEEEEEEEEEK!
SPIDERRRRRR!
