Ancient Hospital Ruins | Disc 1 Blue Dragon Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Take what's inside the chest to the right and head inside the hospital.

Ancient Hospital Ruins - 1F

Two chests to be searched here. Use the red switch to turn on the lights. Look around the area. In the chest to the right you'll find a HP UP Elixir. There's an alarm droid floating around - if it detects you, it will summon some reinforcements (not to worry, though). Search through all the rooms in here. Remember to check out all the wardrobes, shelves and rubble piles. You'll always get some gold and items for trying.

When you get inside the room to the west of the center, you'll see a scene in which Kluke says some things about her late parents. Touch the operating table and you HP will be regenerated. Check out all the machinery in here for some additional bonuses. Go through the door and upstairs.

Go east, to Head Doctor's Room. Defeat the droid guarding it. The door is locked, so go back. Now head west. Defeat another robot and take a Silver Ring from the chest. Go back to the junction and this time go south. Get rid of the alarm droid (it's a lot quicker to battle when you back attack it - it won't summon any additional units this way). Get towards the center of the level.

A new type of enemy to be found here - a Wandering Wrath. There's a Silver Bracelet in a chest that he guards. Go further along the corridor surrounding the central area and push another button. Now go back, but pay attention to any newly opened doors. Some rooms in here are too dark to see - you have to find light switches inside them to make any use of them. There are stairs nearby, use them to go to the upper level

Ancient Hospital Ruins - 3F

Use the light switch. Turn toward the central part and go through the door to the right. It's dark again. Defeat a Wandering Wrath and take a Silver Necklace. Examine the medical equipment to get some SP points. Go to the opposite room. Turn on the light and you'll see a save point and a chest containing 5xMedals. Examine the machinery for even more SP.

Leave by using the hole in the wall and position yourself in a way that will let your engage both fire and ice hound simultaneously. It will make things a lot easier. Head down the stairs here.

Ancient Hospital Ruins - 2F

There's another blacked out room to the right. Take the elixir from a chest and use the switch that's the farthest to the right (by the monitors). You'll turn on the elevator this way. There's one more room on the second floor that you haven't already been to. Inside, there's a key to Head Doctor's Room. Go there and take a Magic Crystal Ring from a chest. Defeat all the ghosts that appear. Examine the locker to the right to get the safe key. Use it on the desk to get some additional valuable items (they include special hearts that give you +1 shadow level in a certain class).

Get back to the central part of the area and enter the elevator.

Ancient Hospital Ruins - 3F

Start by defeating the two pairs of fire-and-ice hounds. Remember to use Monster Battle on them. In here you'll find MP Boost Elixir and a Silver Earring. Head south go find another pair of hounds. Take the Treasure Chest Key from a nearby chest. Head north - you'll see two locked chests inside the last room. Use the key on them to get Kelolon Powder and Magic Crystal Necklace. Regenerate your strengths and go through the gate on the other side of the corridor.

HINT: Make sure you have the ability to cast both Flare and Water spells!

Boss - Ice/Fire Wolf

This double headed wolf has two "modes" - fiery and icy. When it turns into fire mode, you have to use water against it, and when it turns into ice - use fire. It's really that simple. It's definitely easier compared to the previous boss. Watch out so that you don't mess up the spells - if you use fire on fiery opponent, you heal it instead of dealing damage. If you don't have one of the necessary spells, just use physical attack to make the monster change its mode. You won't deal a lot of damage this way, but will at least be able to keep it in a mode that suits you better.

When the battle is over, look around the arena - there are three chests here, containing Magic Crystal Bracelet and 7xMedals. Head north and talk to Marumaro. Activate the teleporter here. After another scene, touch the containers in this room to find a cure that he's seeking. There are some more medals to be found here. The cure is in the right part of the room. When you find it, a series of cutscenes will commence.
