Zola Dane tells Gothraul, Prince of the Ghouls, that Rynn and Arokh are hot on his trail and asks for the help of the dead in destroying them. Gothraul tells Zola Dane that they will accept the souls of Arokh and Rynn and give him their help in obtaining them. "I do not like this place! These lands were the scene of great bloodshed and misery." remarks Arokh as they sight Redwings in the air. Now it's time to fly to meet three attacking Redwings and an Explosive Crossbow. Wartoks, and Grull are to be found on the ground. Land near the ruins and pick up a Health Elixir and 62 - 77 gold. Head south toward the waterfall, where another Redwing attacks. After they reach the waterfall, have them head downstream and the game will take over. Two Bone Dragons attack after some discussion on the small farm about the location of the two gates and the kidnapping of Andre's son. They'll receive "Rescue Perry from the Wartoks" and "Restore the Gateway to Surdana" quests. The Bonewings can prove quite a problem and the two of them together will probably take Arokh and Rynn out. Your best bet is to vacate the area as quickly as possible and head south along the river all the way to the end of the valley. There's an outcropping just before the end, which they can temporarily hide behind and land and heal. Save your game here. Head back toward the dragons and take them out one at a time and retreat, heal, and save after each one plummets to the ground. There are several crossbows nearby and more dragons as well. Don't stop until it's all quiet around here. Return to the small farm village. There're a very shifty peddler in the windmill above, and a blacksmith in one of the lower houses. Be sure to buy the Invulnerability and Invisibility potions from the Blacksmith. Save your game progress before leaving.

Have them head south from the farm and cross the river. They'll be able to target the first of the Exploding Crossbows before landing in front of the cave entrance (if they haven't already taken it out). Enter and head along the tunnel, then smash the three barrels for 300 gold. Continue west and then turn south and have her run up the incline. Head east past the fence on the left, and then exit the cave. Arokh will be hovering nearby. Head south toward the next entrance, enter and go west down the incline. Get 50 gold from the barrels on the right. She'll meet some resistance (two Wartoks and two Grull) near where the tunnel forks. Get rid of them, then head south and smash the barrels for 116 - 260 gold. Continue east to the other exit from the tunnel and help Arokh take out the attacking Wartok and two Grull for 115 - 455 gold and maybe a Health Elixir.

Several more Explosive Crossbows are nearby and the two nearest will fire at them as they take to the air. A Bonewing is also lurking nearby. Retreat back to the entrance gate if neccessary and heal before continuing. There's a campfire and two barrels near the nearest crossbow. Take out the nearby Wartok, then land and check the area, but there's usually no treasure here. Continue along the river and another Bonewing will attack. There's a campfire near the fourth Explosive Crossbow, and a couple of enemies who can be taken out from the air for 57 - 260 gold. Then two more Wartoks, who leave behind a Health Elixir or Emerald (130 gold) and a Chalice (75 gold) in the area near the fifth Explosive Crossbow. Continue south after they've passed the downstream end of the river. A set of stone ruins, similar to the one she found the Lightning Blade in, is located at the southernmost end of the canyon up on a ledge. Land and have her enter it, which causes three sets of four skeletons to emerge. Defeat all twelve to activate the central pillar. Have her take the Strange stone, Odd Stone, and Curious stone, which will eventually be set onto three separate altars, each activating a different stone in yet another set of ruins in the desert. After all three stones are properly placed, the ruins will be activated and she will have the Fire Blade.

Head north and take out another Explosive Crossbow and two nearby Wartoks (198 gold). Get another two on the ledge to the left, then continue forward a bit and activate the gate. Fly just beyond the gate and destroy another three Wartoks, then land near the four barrels and collect 75 - 180 gold. Fly south over to the gate and head on through to Surdana. General Dehrimon will congratulate them and tell them that only the gate at Stratos remains to be reopened. It will be the hardest one to reach, but with that one opened, the Desert Lords will not be able to stand against the Dragons of the Order. Stop by Jade's Magic Emporium and upgrade her spells, then head north to the Blacksmith's Shop and repair her weapons and armor. Return through the Mother's Eye to the valley of the Fallen when finished there. Four Wartoks (0 - 63 gold) are guarding the cave entrance behind the gate. Take them out from the air, then land and enter the cave. Two or three more Wartoks are guarding the lift at the rear of a large area. There's also a Grull lurking in the rear. One or two Fire Grulls are lurking up above to the left on a ledge. Take it or them out with an Impale spell. Head over to the table near the lift and take the Wartok Base Key from it. Get a Health Elixir and maybe an Emerald (130 gold) from the nearby barrels. Take the lift up, then head over to the two dead Grulls and pick up 77 gold. Now head to the east toward the next lift. Three Wartoks are guarding it and will give up 0 - 282 gold when vanquished. There's also a Grull to the left behind the ruins, who gives up a 0 - 3 gold. Two chests behind the ruins on the right donate 288 - 229 gold, but the Fire Grull up above are trying to make life difficult. Get another 275 gold from the two barrels on the other side of the ruins. Take the lift up and take out the Fire Grull near it, then smash the barrels for another 29 - 150 gold. Have her head through the stone doorway to the south, where 144 - 150 gold can be gotten from the three barrels behind the ruins. Then go over to the second set of ruins and around the front to the rear to open the chest and pick up a Life Potion. She can continue around the circular ledge to the other side of the lift so that she can come upon the second Fire Grull from a distance. Once it's been taken care of, she can grab the Mythril Short Sword sticking out of crate and the Emerald (130 gold) and Full Mana potion from the nearby barrels.

All's now peaceful in the cave, save a couple of roaring campfires, which makes for an easy exit to the outside. Fly southwest to the river and then follow it west back to the skies above the windmill near the farm and hover over it. Fly west along the river past the first mountain and then turn southwest and they will arrive at the square stone remnants of a building nestled in the foothills, still holding the first altar. Flame the two Grull guarding it before landing. There's a Health Elixir and maybe a Ring (100 gold) in one of the barrels in the northwest corner. Have her walk over to the altar in the opposite corner and press the 'L1' button to have her place the Strange Stone upon it. Have them take back off and fly downstream to the end of the river.
