- Head down to the next screen, you will almost immediately be attacked by a Rabite.
- If you take the first right-hand path here, this will lead you to a Cannon Travel Station.
- Gemma has paid your fare so you can "ride" for free this time.
- Otherwise, continue to the South.
- Go across the short bridge where you will need to deal with another Rabite.
- Just around the bend from the rabite is a Lullabud.
- Continue to the left from here.
- On the way you will encounter a Mushboom.
- Be wary of its spores or headbutt. The spores can poison and it can knock you out.
- Go across the bridge then turn to the North.
- Be wary as you head North, there is a Lullabud hiding against the trees on the left, waiting in ambush.
- North of where the Lullabud ambushed you is a road off to the left.
- Going down this short road will lead to Neko's Inn.
- This will introduce Randi to the traveling Cat Merchant Neko.
- Neko sells a wide variety of items throughout the game and can be found in a number of places.
- He does charge more for the same items because of his convenience, so be warned.
- Head back to the Main path to the East.
- Follow it to the North and into the beginnings of the Water Palace.
- Before crossing into the water, talk with the Soldiers here to meet Dyluck and his squad.
- Apparently they are headed into the Haunted Forest to deal with the Witch, Elinee there.
- When you either talk with all of them, or head North into the water, they will head into the nearby teleporter.
- Continue to the North.
- Cross through the water in front of you and through the double doors into the Water Palace.
- Gemma will meet you there and tell you to go inside.
- Once inside the Water Palace, follow Gemma through the first room
- Step on the floor switch next to the top left torch to cause a staircase to appear.
- Go forward, through the shallow pool on the next platform.
- Go up the stairs and step on either floor switch to activate another staircase.
- Take the stairs up and you will find Gemma and a young woman.
- Go forward and approach the young woman.
- Talk with her to learn she is Luka.
- After that, talk with Gemma twice, and Luka once to progress the conversation forward.
- Gemma will leave to go question what the Empire is up to.
- He will suggest that Randi go to Gaia's Navel to reforge the sword.
- Toward the end of the conversation, Luka will have Randi seal the Mana seed with his sword.
- Luka will present Randi with the Spear at the end of the conversation.
- Now it is time to head for Gaia's Navel via Pandora.
