Living Woods & Amur

1. Navigate the flooded overworld toward the Living Woods (mobile forest).
2. Solve the forest path to the village of Amur / related towns.
3. Talk to everyone: Goldor stole the airship / engine components; party is blamed or drafted to fix it.
4. Buy better gear; restock Phoenix Downs.

Goldor Manor

1. Enter Goldor’s mansion dungeon.
2. Full chest clear — gold-themed loot and key items for the airship.
3. Boss: Goldor. Physical tankiness; magic and steady Cure win. Steal if Thief is leveled.
4. Recover what he took so Cid’s ship can fly again later.

Molten Cave — Fire Crystal

1. Via dwarven tunnels, enter the Molten Cave.
2. Lava dungeon: Ice magic shines; bring lots of healing.
3. Boss before/at crystal as scripted (Salamander-type threats).
4. Awaken the Fire Crystal.

New jobs to consider

• Knight — upgrades Warrior into a real wall
• Hunter / Ranger — bows, aerial advantage later
• Scholar — mandatory later for Hein; level one now with Libra/Study skills

Cave of Shadows

1. Famous for the kneel before the king / invisible path puzzles and thief-friendly layout.
2. Bring a Thief for utility if stuck on doors.
3. Full loot; mid-boss as appears.
4. Advances the plot toward water crystal / southern seas.

Water Crystal chain

1. Follow story through underwater passages, towers, or temples (Sewers, Lake Dohr, related shrines depending on PR labeling).
2. Defeat water bosses; keep Lightning magic ready.
3. Awaken the Water Crystal.
4. Huge job unlock: Dragoon Geomancer Viking Bard Devout Magus Summoner and kin.
5. Immediately train a Dragoon — Garuda in Chapter 4 is the textbook Jump check.
