Playing it safe
This is the last treasure you can loot in this dungeon so if you want to play it safe, you can return to the entrance, save and then travel all the way back here. The last two floors aren’t that much so you should prepare for the boss fight that you’ll eventually have to take in the B30F. Please refer to the strategy details below.

B28F: Both paths on the right and lower-left circle around to the same corridor leading to the stairs to the next floor. Ignore both rooms on this floor since they are rigged with traps. Take the stairs to the next floor.

Guide Image

B29F: To unlock the door south, turn the statues so they don’t face each other. Simply turn the male statue on the upper-right to solve the puzzle.

B30F: Prepare your party to face this dungeon’s boss. Heal up and make sure to have the preparations suggested in this page. When ready, continue north to the treasure room where Resphina and her minions are waiting.
