You've arrived at the Pirates' Cove hoping to steal a ship. Things don't go exactly as planned.
The Hideout
The cove is a small area with the pirate ship docked at the western pier. Head into the hideout building to find the pirates' living quarters. Search the rooms for chests before approaching the ship.
When you're ready, head to the ship and try to board. You'll get caught immediately. The pirates tie you up and throw you in the hold.
Meeting Faris
In a cutscene, the pirate captain Faris comes to interrogate you. Lenna reveals she's the princess of Tycoon. Faris notices her pendant and, for reasons not yet clear, decides to help. But Faris isn't joining out of kindness; there's clearly some history here.
Faris joins your party as the fourth member. With the captain's blessing, you can now use the ship to reach the Wind Shrine.
Sea Serpent Syldra
Faris's ship is pulled by a sea serpent named Syldra. This isn't just flavor text; Syldra becomes important later. For now, board the ship and set sail north toward the Wind Shrine.
The ship lets you travel across water but only in shallow coastal areas at first. You can't cross deep ocean yet. Head north along the coastline until you reach the shrine.
Treasure Chests
The Pirates' Cove has a few chests scattered around. Grab them before leaving.
| Item | Location |
|---|---|
Leather Cap | Pirates' hideout, barrel room |
Ether | Pirates' hideout, side room |
Tent | Pirates' hideout, storage area |
Next Steps
With Faris and the ship, sail north to the Wind Shrine. The Wind Crystal is failing and you need to reach it before it's too late. Enemies in the ocean are slightly tougher than land encounters, so keep your HP up.
