Activate the teleport and get into the huge room. When you're attacked, choose the Flee option. You can't fight the shielded droids here. In south-eastern part of the room there's a Power-Swap Dart. Go along the stairs to get to Ancient Warrior's Necklace (the droid that's guarding it doesn't have a shield).
A little bit further you'll see chests with Grand Amethyst and Mega Magical Medicine. Step on the conveyor belt and head west. There's a chest with Grand Shadow Crystal.
Go through the southern door (the northern is blocked by a force field). Take the first left. There's a Leather Belt and a Shadow Crystal. Go through the door to the left. There's an Ancient Warrior's Earring. Get back to the corridor and this time go west. You'll face Double-Lance here (Watera works just fine). In this room you'll find a healing machine, a chest with 15xMedals and a spell Lv5 - Shieldus. Get out using the northern door and go west through the next corridor.
At the middle of this big room there're two Double Lances that guard the chests. You can beat them for Ancient Warrior's Bracelet and a Grand Emerald. Go all the way upstairs. If you like, you can monster-battle the rats with the trap-like creatures here. Along the way there's a Cure-All in a chest. Jumbo Ghost will come at you at some point - use Shina against it. A little bit further you'll battle a broken droid. If you beat him, you'll obtain a Broken Barrier Device. Go through the gate.
HINT: In a room filled with statues imitating Double Lances, you can obtain a valuable item that will help you with one of the achievements. You just have to wake up and destroy all the statues (just walk around them, or try to hit them). When you destroy them all, you'll get Mystery Part Beta.
After some scenes you will control Jiro. Turn off the shield when you're promoted (I know it's stupid, but the game doesn't give you a choice here, duh).
