Go outside, meet the wizard. Now you need to go see him at his cabin on the east side of the river. You can walk behind the waterfall, but there is a rock blocking your way. You can smash it, but you will need a strength of 6 to do it. Look around for power potions to boost your strength. You can get the herb boots too, by talking to a tree. You will know the tree when you see it. Once you have a strength of 6, hit the rock by the waterfall, and then walk behind the waterfall to the other side. Find the wizard's cabin. Enter and talk to him. He'll tell you that you need to find a sword. If You haven't found the sword already, find it. Go to a screen north of the wizard's cabin that has a Bonca and a large rock. Push the rock towards the east and enter the cavern. Get the sword and talk to the wizard again. He makes some stairs appear. Go down the stairs. Collect the bomb bag and "talk" to the bed. When you wake up, go upstairs and talk to the wizard again. He tells you that you need to find and speak with a dragon. First go south from the cabin and find a treasure chest. Open it and collect 500 gold.
Go back to the west side of the river. Search for someone who has access to knowledge about dragons. You will find this person in a house near the western side of town. He has to do research so come back shortly. He tells you that if you let a fairy go by the waterfall, you can follow it and get a clue how to find the dragon. Go along the beach and find a hut. There is a girl there that has lost her top. go west along the beach. You will find a hut that sells clothes. Buy a top for her and bring it to her. She tells you there is a secret under her bed. Move her bed north and find some stairs. Go down there and catch a fairy. Bring it to the waterfall and let it go by equipping it and "using" it. Follow for a few screens and watch where it disappears. Set a bomb there and enter. If you have no bombs, one can be bought at the bomb hut on the west side of town. Buy another one while you are at it because you will need another one at some point.
Meet with the dragon. It tells you that you need to find the ruins of an ancient culture, enter their temple, and find an artifact. You will then bring the artifact back to the dragon and get further instructions. Go back to the southwest corner of the "town" by the beach. Go into the western-most of the two huts and talk to the person there. He gives you a clue as to the location of the ruins. If you don't have another bomb, go get one. Find the area library. Go into the back room and place a bomb half way between the support beam and the number 8 on the floor. An entrance to a cavern opens. Enter the hole. When you want to leave the cavern, just step into the light area.
Inside the cavern, go north until you find the old Drumloni village. Explore the area. All the Drumloni huts in this area are in ruins except the one in the front. When you find the temple, the entrance is protected by an electric field. Go east of the temple and find a crystal on a stick. Hit the crystal. Search for something that has changed. Southwest of the temple, there are some stairs that will have appeared. Go down there. One of the rocks blocking the way is the same type that blocked your path behind the waterfall and you can smash it by hitting it. Go down the stairs. There is a stick with a flame on it. Hitting the stick will make a fireball fly in the direction that you hit the stick. Hit the 3 crystals. Then go to the one intact hut in the area. Some stairs have appeared there. Go down the stairs and you will see an electric transformer thing. Blow it up and you can now go and enter into the temple.
Drumloni Temple:
Talk to the whale if you want. Then work your way East. Find a key in a chest. Then work your way west and find a door to open. "Talk" to it and go through. You will come to a room with a gap you cannot get across. There is a tank of sorts with a fireball on the end. If you hit this tank, a fireball shoots out towards the right side of the screen. There is another object in the room that can be pushed and a crystal on the other side of the gap. Push the object again and again until it is in a position where the fireball bounces off of it at an angle and hits the crystal. If you have pushed the reflector too far and can't move it back, leave the room and then re-enter so that its position will be reset. A bridge will appear when the crystal gets hit with a fire-ball from the tank. Cross the bridge and find a room. There is another locked door, but you won't have a key to that yet. There is a switch that you can hit to turn something off (the light changes from green to red). Go back east and find an area to enter and go downstairs now that the electric field is gone. Work your way north, then east past some enemies. Hit some pictures on the wall that correspond to seasons. Hit them in the order they are in the year - winter, spring, summer, fall. A section of wall disappears and you can go right and get a key from a chest. Now go back to the room where the other locked door was and go through it. The wall closes and you are trapped. Go kill all the fire-slugs in the room and a stone guy smashes through a wall to come after you. You must kill him. There is an easy way to do this. In case you can't figure this out, look below for advice on fighting the tougher enemies.
Once you get out of that room, go north a couple screens. You will see a "boss door". You need to find the "boss key". Go east and search this area. You can find a fire-ball spell and get an upgraded sword as well as assorted other goodies. At the bottom right of this area is a place to go underground. After you go underground go right and see another locked door. This one needs a regular key, so you have to find that. Go right again and see a well with a ladder. "Talk" to the well and descend. Go north a few screens and talk to a giant frog. He creates a vortex for you to go through and find a key. There will be several other goodies in that area too so do a good search of this area. You will find the key in a treasure chest on an elevated area in the lower middle part of the area. Once you find the key and have done a search in the area, go back through the vortex and back up the ladder. Open the locked door you saw earlier and get the boss key. Then go back to the boss door and open it. Save your game then go north and fight a gold knight. See below for advice if you have trouble with this boss. Once you have killed him, go north and collect the relic. You can just walk right across the center of the gap even thought it won't look like it. Have some faith here. Once you have this relic, leave and go back and talk to the dragon again.
Leave the dragon's lair and go north. Check out the area to the west and then go east again into a new area called East Dock.
East Dock area:
Work your way east and slightly north to find a man at a dock. Talk to him and he tells you that no boat goes to the island that you seek, so you will have to find your own transportation. Go west and find an isolated house. Enter and talk to the occupant. He tells you that he will help you out if you find a dead skunk and place it in his cousin's house. Go back to the dock and go a couple screens south to find a guy that gives you a dead skunk (although it won't show up in your inventory). find a house with a locked door and choose the option to get on the roof and go down the chimney. Watch the cut-scene. Then go east to the shore and go north until you find a raft. Either step onto the raft of talk to it and it tells you that you need to find a map. Go slightly west and then slightly north and then west again and talk to the tree king. He makes a vortex for you to go through. Go through it.
Agricultural area:
This area has a couple houses in the north and an agricultural area and cave within the fertile area. There is also a barn near a corn field. Go in the barn and talk to a pile of straw. leave and talk to a scarecrow. Find the cave and touch the force-field or read the sign. Now go back and talk to the straw-pile again. Because you were rude to it before, it will only dispel the barrier if you find and drink 9 bottles of politeness potion. Search the whole area (you DON'T need to go back through the vortex). One bottle is in a house. One on the west side of the area is under a rock you can smash. It should be easy to find them all. Once you have consumed all 9, you can go back to talk to the pile of straw again. Now you can go enter the cave and you find a mysterious shrine (temple) area.
