You took one Mini Medal from the Grave of Galen back in Chapter 6. With the Ultimate Key the whole crypt opens: four floors linked by more staircases than you can count. The route below takes each floor in the order that wastes the fewest steps. There’s no boss at the bottom, just the Lyre of Ire. Expect Ghouls, Skeleton Swordsmen, Silhouettes, Skelegons and Spitegeists alongside monsters you met in Craggy Cave.

B1

  1. The entrance hall’s bottom-right door leads to a short dead end; its barrel hides a Seed of Life.
  1. Back at the entrance, take the upper-right door:
    1. Go north and left, then into the bottom-left passage. It looks empty, but the bottom-right corner has two pots: 164 gold and a Magic Water.
    2. Back at the door, go east. The first staircase up is where you found a Mini Medal in Chapter 6.
    3. From there go south and take the second path west to a barrel with Plain Clothes.
    4. Return to the medal stairs and keep going east. Skip the next staircase and climb the one after it: a dead end with three chests — the Whistle Scroll, 284 gold and a Cower Ring.
  2. Your map shows a locked door on the east side of the floor. It opens now. Go south a little, then west to two pillars: the pot beside them has a Medicinal Herb, the last item on B1.
  3. Take the stairs in the south-west corner down.

B2 and B3: the loop

  1. B2 is a web of staircases. Ignore the one right in front of you, go south, and take the stairs in the south-east corner.
  1. On B3:
    1. Go north, left through the gap in the wall, then south and west when you can: two pots with Dark Robe and a Seed of Agility.
    2. Head south and round the floor to the north-west corner for a chest with the Kacrackle Slash Scroll.
    3. Then go north-east and up to B2.
  1. Back on B2:
    1. Go west, then south, and take the right-hand path at the fork. The chest at the end is a Mimic; it drops a Sage’s Elixir.
    2. In the open area to the left, stairs lead down to a tiny bit of B3 with another chest on the right — another Mimic and another Sage’s Elixir. Come back up.
    3. Behind the wall left of those stairs, two barrels have 34 gold and a Spider Web.
    4. Head for the south-west staircase, but before going down, walk east and check the north side for two pots: a Seed of Stamina and a Seed of Life.
  2. Now take the south-west staircase down.

Down to the Lyre

  1. Follow the path on this part of B3 to a huge statue. Examine its base for a Mini Medal, then go north-east and down to B4.
  2. B4 has only one item: go south-east for a Magic Water. Then head west, go round the room and take the central staircase up into a separate part of B3.
  3. Walk to the middle. A scene plays and you receive the Lyre of Ire — no fight this time.
  4. You now hold everything needed to call Rubiss:
    1. All five sigils.
    2. The Lyre of Ire.
    3. The Faerie Flute.
  5. Warp to the Faerie Village, where the scenes point you to the summit of the Shrine of Rain.
