[brms]
BRIMSTONE VILLAGE, Fire Rock (Volcano), Brimstone Underpass

Q: How do I kill those firebirds?! (KTC, Indigo)
A1: Be at least level 50. Use Nicolas's lullaby attack to put the birds to sleep. Then whack them with weapons/spells. Do NOT use Phoenix Sphere unless you're in the 2nd level for spells. The key thing is to keep those birds sleeping.
Another way is to use Chicken Curse Spell since it will immobilize the birds. When in doubt: trust the chicken curse or run. (literally)
A2: Blizzard scrolls that can be bought in Happily Ever after are very useful against them, more than other spells I was using. The spell attacks the whole party and the damage it causes to each of them is 1000+ so it's really worth to buy a huge stock of these scrolls in HEA before going to Brimstone underpass and use them.


[erdr]
EREDAR, Land of the Lost, Littlerock Plains, Mount Siren, Old Ways, Hidden Library, Dead Mans Canyon

Q: Is there any way to get through the blocked cave in Dead Man's Canyon? (tiniponi)
A: No ... you must enter Old Ways from another direction.


[wpas]
White Pass, Ice Cavern (part2)

Q: What do I use to capture the North Wind? (shaz)
A: If you completed a quest for the black widow in Fairytale Forest, you will have an empty bottle. You can catch the North Wind in that

CASKET HILL, Land of the Dead (from Underworld Entrance),
Cursed Woods, Two Moon Plains, Squirrel Hideout, Cliffs of Remembrance


Q: How can I make Haliburt recognize Great Grandma Nora? OR How can I make Great Grandma Nora young again? (tiniponi)
A: Get Haliburt's love letter to her from the drawer in her house in Ryva, after she asks you to do so. Give it to her, and watch the magic happen.

Q: How can I get the Lord of Souls to restore the Squirrel Commander’s soul to him? (tiniponi)
A: Bring him a memory of his mother.

Q: Where can I find or how can I get a memory of the Lord of Soul's mother? (tiniponi)
A: Find a rose on the Cliffs of Remembrance.

Q: How do I kill the Vampire Bats and Ghosts? (ktc)
A: Vampire Bats are weak to Melee attacks. Spheres have NO effects on them so DON'T use them.
Ghosts are weak to magic attacks. Melee attacks are mostly ineffective against them.
Again, Chicken Curse is very effective in these situations. When in doubt: trust the chicken curse or run. (literally)
