The gate you saw in Chapter 4 opens with the Ultimate Key. Beyond it the Shrine of Rain rises five floors, each with a little treasure, to a summit where a Goregoyle stands between you and the ritual. With it beaten you finally call Rubiss, and the Sage of Rain hands over his Staff of Rain.

The climb
Warp to the Shrine of Rain and walk to where the sage used to stand; he isn’t there. Go north up the stairs to the big metal gate, open it and go through.
1F: go right first for a chest with a Dieamend, then west to the stairs.
2F: on the east side, a barrel on the north wall has an Unsealant. Up again.
3F: the barrel just north of you has a Mini Medal. Cross to the west side for a chest with Oomph Powder in the middle, then come back east to the stairs.
4F: examine the middle of the side you arrive on for a Seed of Life. The pots on the west side have 436 gold and a Seed of Strength.
Go right briefly: the pot in the middle of the round area has a Seed of Luck.
Come back and go south. In the next round area, the pots on the left hold a Seed of Defence and a Pure Water.
Continue south and turn east. Before heading north to the centre, keep going east and up the eastern path to two chests: a Full Moon Ring (left) and a Special Medicine (right).
Heal up, then walk to the central area for a scene with the sage and the fight.
Boss: Goregoyle
Move
What it does
How to handle it
Attack
80–100 damage.
Heal before two hits could finish you.
Kaswoosh
Wind spell, about 60 damage.
Erdrick’s Shield and Armour help.
Fizzle
Seals your spells.
Carry healing items for when you can’t cast.
Two actions
Now and then it acts twice.
Never let your HP sit low.
Open with Dodgy Dance, then Wild Side. From then on, use Kacrackle Slash — around 200 per hit, twice a turn under Wild Side.
When you’re back in control, step outside the central building and check its left side for the last chest: a Mini Medal.
Cast Evac to get back to the ground floor and talk to the Sage of Rain. He gives you the Staff of Rain.
In the scene that follows, Gwaelin senses Rubiss’s power south of Cantlin, and Dream-Whisperer names the place: the Shrine of the Spirit, where a sacred amulet is kept.
