Rynn's begins the game with the "Find Lady Myschala at the palace in Surdana" quest after speaking with General Dehrimon. She needs to speak with Lady Myschala regarding the current situation in the larger Drakan world. As you begin to move her forward, you can see a pavilion ahead of her off to the right. The guard there tells her that the dummy over there can be used for combat practice. Practice is advisable if this is your first time through the game. Have her walk around inside the tent and pass by the chests. One of them will open and disgorge 31 gold. There's also a barrel that may be broken with her knife (use a 'Down', 'Down', 'Square' combo attack), which usually contains a Goblet worth 50 gold pieces.
Guide her down the path and be careful she doesn't fall off the cliff. You'll get to restart the game if she does. Three
Grull will stop her and Olak, the leader, will demand all her gold in order to let her pass as she nears a fenced segment of cliff. They're quite easy to defeat unless they all manage to gang up on her at once. She should receive a Potion of Life from Olak. Press 'Select' to open the inventory screen. Use the arrow keys to select the slot it's in , then press the 'X' button to "Hot Slot" the potion she just received. Simply highlight it and press the 'X' button to use it. Have her turn east into the small alcove, that they jumped out of, and head up the hill into the small cave. She can break the three barrels and the crate, but they contain nothing. There's also a crate, and a chest with 25 gold and a Life Potion. Send her out of the alcove and have her run down the path to the south.
As she approaches the bridge, a Blackwing Dragon flies by but presents no danger at this point. Keep going. Hmm... the bridge is broken. Jump across the missing sections (press the 'Triangle' button) and she'll catch the edge and pull herself up. If she misses, she'll fall a short distance, but land unharmed and after a short walk back, she can try it again. Up ahead we can see an unfortunate individual being crushed by a tree, the Grull have dropped across the path to block the passage of unwary passersby. Have her dispatch the approaching Grull and she'll receive two Health Elixirs, which should be "Hot Sloted" as well. Have her continue down the hill to the next pavilion for an archery lesson. Get the offered bow from the table, "Hot Slot" it, and fire off a couple of arrows to get the hang of it. You can use 'R2' to lock onto the target. Then press the 'Circle' button to zoom in on the target. Finally, use the left and right mini-joy sticks to manipulate the "X" marker. Then press 'Square' to fire. Continue along the path on into town. The guard at the gate tells her she needs to take the lift to gain entrance to the castle.
