Onrac & the Sunken Shrine


Three Fiends defeated, one remains. The Fiend of Water lurks at the bottom of the Sunken Shrine - an underwater temple you can now access with the Oxyale. Thunder magic will carry you through this dungeon.

Onrac

Fly to Onrac on the eastern continent. This port town sells Level 7 spells to fill any gaps: NulDeath (protects against instant death) and Healaga (group healing) for White Wizards, Saber and Blind for Black Wizards. Red Wizards can learn NulMagic here.

Onrac town with the submarine dock

The townsfolk mention the Sunken Shrine and the Waterfall Cavern. When you're ready, find the mermaid by the dock in the southeast corner. She sees you have the Oxyale and lets you use her submarine.

Sunken Shrine

This dungeon spans five floors with treasure scattered everywhere. You arrive on the third floor. Most enemies here are weak to Thunder, so Thundara and Thundaga will clear encounters quickly. Check the bestiary for full enemy weaknesses.

Inside the Sunken Shrine

Arrival

Explore the small room on the east side and the west room for their chests. There are two staircases - take the northeast stairs first. These lead up to the treasure-filled upper floors.

Diamond Armor

Head west past a tiny room to a backwards C-shaped room for a chest. Enter the room directly north for Diamond Armor. Check the southern rooms from west to east for more treasure including a Light Axe and Mage's Staff. Take the eastern stairs up to Floor 5.

Mermaid Floor

This floor has mermaids who share lore about the crystals and Mirage Tower - no enemies here. The treasure rooms are spread around the edges. Walk through the northwest hall to reach the northeast room where the Rosetta Stone waits alongside Diamond Helm and Diamond Gloves.

Finding the Rosetta Stone

Other rooms on this floor have Diamond Shield, Diamond Armlet, and plenty of Gil. The full Diamond set gives your Knight excellent defense.

Lower Depths

Return to Floor 3 and take the northwest stairs going down. Navigate through Floors 2 and 3's lower sections - the path winds through damaged walkways. Key treasure on Floor 2: Giant's Gloves (casts Saber as an item), a second Ribbon, and a Light Axe. Several chests have Water Elemental ambushes.

Kraken

On Floor 1, walk west through the large room and head north. The Water Crystal chamber is through the door on the west side.

Kraken guarding the Water Crystal

Defeat Kraken and the Water Crystal is restored. Use the portal to exit the Sunken Shrine. Three crystals restored, one to go. The Wind Crystal is in the Flying Fortress high above the clouds, but you can't reach it yet. First, take the Rosetta Stone to Dr. Unne in Melmond to learn the Lufenian language.
