The Kaibutsu War [a3p3]
-------------------------------------------------------------
Burlington Inn
--------------
The group sans Anderson will regroup in Burlington to plan their next move. After a short scene you'll hear a fight going on outside and decide to check it out. Right outside Holly, from North's Pirate Adventure, is surrounded by the same pirates. They recognize North and attack your group as well. Holly will join the group and the fight will commence. Once you defeat them the group will return to the inn. More cut scenes will follow. You'll get 90GP from Duke Salem (60GP in hard mode) and Fayette and Clifton will rejoin the party. When that’s all said and done it'll be time to deal with the Cult of Zebulon. The building is directly below and to the left of the inn.
Cult of Zebulon
---------------
The first think you'll notice is that no one here really cares that you're here to rob them blind. Anyway, check both fireplaces here for ASH. Go upstairs and check the barrel for SALTPETER. Head back into the main room and then another floor down. There will be another barrel here with SALTPETER. South from here is another room with a chest that contains GRIMORA GLADIA. Head back into the last room then north into the aptly named Eternity Chamber.
This room contains quite a difficult puzzle. The idea is to get all the blocks to be organized by color into rows. You do this by moving through the passageways. Each passageway shifts all the rows or columns in that direction. You can also check the right sign, which will let you flip a random row. The left sign will let you restart the puzzle. If you spend enough time in here two monks will show up and offer to fight you instead of completing the puzzle. Normally it would be worth considering, but since you're reading this guide it's unnecessary.
The solution to the puzzle is as follows. Whenever it says to flip a certain row, if the right sign doesn't let you flip that row, go down a path, then immediately turn back through it again and try the sign again until it works.
Flip top row
Flip left column
Go up
Flip right column
Go right
Go down
Flip top row
Flip bottom row
Flip right column
Flip bottom row
Go up
Flip right column
If you complete the puzzle, head north into the treasure room. There will be two chests, one with the CLAYMORE, far and away Vance's best weapon, and one with 400GP. Back in the eternity chamber head east and down the next passageway to reach the final room of this area. You'll run into Anderson a long chain of cut scenes will start, plot twists and revelations abound. Eventually a week will pass and you'll be in Burlington Port.

You'll meet Duke Winston here, who will pay you 210GP (150GP in hard mode) to go hunt down the Kaibutsu lords. Yes, if you've been keeping track that’s 700GP you've received in roughly the last 15 minutes. Don't go spending that all in one place. More scenes will occur and you'll be eventually be given the choice between five different ports to head to to start searching for the Kaibutsu lords. Here’s where the game starts to get very non linear until the very end.
Yeah so I'm not sure what I'll do first, right now I'm figuring out all the little things like where Sharon pops up, which ports Tatum/Clifton/Roper won't go to, all the end game sidequests, and whatever else I run into Speaking of which, as far as sidequests (or atleast ones that require you to go to multiple ports) go, I know of Biggs, Grimora Universalis pages, the Mystery Package, Rune Fragments, anything Important im missing?
