This is another large floor where you'll do a lot of walking. Proceed directly north through the circle of columns, where you'll find the path splits. Head west then south to find the Thunder Spear, which is guarded by an Imperial Shadow. These are nasty Undead foes with 3,000 HP and no weaknesses, not even Fire. Fire is the only Element they don't resist, so it's an effective Spell, as are Flare and Holy. Blood Swords are no good despite the foe's high HP, since it is Undead. They like to inflict Curse, which is no big deal, but their Death Spell can be dangerous against any party members with low magic defense. The other path, east and south, leads to the next floor.
