Northern Ruins

You'll be in and out of the Northern Ruins a lot. Every chest you'll find also exists in the Present, so don't open them here. By opening them first in the Present, you can double your haul.

At first, holes in the ground make it impossible to navigate very far. Defeat the Sentries in the basement, then head to Choras to find someone to make repairs. You'll end up in the Present looking for Tools.

Once you get the first set of repairs done, enter the ruins and defeat the undead within. Return to the carpenter for another set of repairs—this one will cost you 2,000 G. This time, the path to the inner basement will be opened, revealing Cyrus's grave. Frog will get the upgraded Masamune, but your work here is not yet done.

Afterwards, pay another 2,000 G for the final set of repairs. There are three sealed chests in here that can be upgraded like the ones holding the elemental vests.
