Adventures in Space

The specifics of your space adventure are covered in the Space Flight document. The short version is that you will need a Shuttle, a Vacuum suit or Reflect suit, and at least 1,000 Coin for docking fees. Launch the Shuttle and travel around space, destroying 20 enemy vessels to become a Space Ace. When you are finished, return to Sosaria to continue your quest.

Now that you are a Space Ace, it's almost time to save a Princess. However, if you've talked to enough tavernkeepers, you know that you must also be at least Level 8 for the Princess to help you. You'll need 7,000 Experience to achieve this Level, so if you're not quite there yet, feel free to continue your quest and come back for a Princess when you are.

Which Princess you decide to save doesn't matter, though it's generally a bit easier to save one in the castle with the courtyard with the large pond, due to its layout. To save a Princess, you'll need to first kill the Jester, who drops a key. The key may or may not open the Princess's cell—you'll have to try to Unlock it to find out. If it does, lead the Princess out of the castle. In addition to the usual rewards for saving a Princess, she will tell you that there is a Time Machine to the northwest. Indeed, if you travel to the northwest part of whichever continent you happen to be on, you will now find a Time Machine waiting for you. However, you still need the fourth Gem to operate it.
