To the east of the Labyrinth of Ice Walls is Elrand. Fly there, stock up on supplies and rest/save at the inn (you _can_ trek there from the labyrinth if you want to add a few levels.) Once you've stocked up, call Flammie again and head to the northeastern-most red dot. This is the Forest of Wonder and home of the Wood God-Beast. Now, the first thing we need to do is to find the Gold Statue so we can save the game. The Gold Statue can be found by going northwest, southwest (you can buy stuff from the cats here if you want to), southwest, northeast, northwest, northeast, east (large area), northwest, northwest, west, save at the Gold Statue here. Now, level up to L30 or so, it will make the battle easier. Besides, the enemies here are all L35 so you'll get tonnes of experience points. When you're ready, save again and then go northeast, northeast, east, east to face:
***Boss: God-Beast Mispolm***
You'd think that Wood would be weak against Fire seeing as wood can catch fire but nope, this guy is weak against Lightning. Use any electric spell such as Thunder Jutsu or Thunderstorm. Make sure you Thunder Saber all of your team if you have Duran or Carlie. This is one of the easier fights. The only thing you should be aware of is the two creatures to each side. They may sometimes grab a team mate and do about 200HPs damage. To avoid this, the moment the character gets grabbed and pulled up into the air, use an item (any item) on him/her. The item must cause the character to react (such as the healing items.) They will drop down and take no or little damage (cheating? Nah, I don't think so.) This does take a bit of timing, though. Also watch out for Mispolm's Counter Magic. From then on, any offensive magic cast on him will be reversed automatically so use physical attacks instead. Summon spells (such as Unicorn Head and Machine Golem) do NOT count as offensive spells so they can be used, as do the stat-down spells. Try using AntiMagic if you have it. I'm not sure, but I think this cancels the Counter Magic effect. This fight will not last very long. Make sure you heal after the Killstinger, Poison Bubble and Grenade Bomb. You can use any Fire-based spell and it'll be just as (if not, more) effective. Once you win, you'll end up back at the opening where Flammie dropped you off. So call her again. Next stop, the Beast Kingdom!!
