Lufia: Curse of the Sinistrals (NDS) complete walkthrough

This is the Nintendo DS remake of the greatest role-playing game in history (Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals for SNES), developed by Neverland and Square Enix, published in 2010 by Natsume, and played on the DeSmuME NDS emulator. Check times below for the start of each section of the walkthrough. If you just want help solving some puzzles or with the mystic stone board, or with seeing where to go, and aren't interested in the combat and dialog, or if you want to see the alternate ending, go here for a quick, second run-through:    • Lufia: Curse of the Sinistrals quick walkt...   It's a real challenge to complete a first run through this game in under 10 hours without skipping through at least some of the essential dialog, especially with an emulator (unless you're playing on a gaming machine, all NDS emulators are laggy even with speed optimized settings, and I think DeSmuME is the only one that will even run this game properly), so forgive me if I've missed anything, and for the relatively poor sound quality due to lag in the music. It was either that or making sacrifices in other areas. I know how much Lufia fans love the music (and if you haven't heard it before, you're in for a treat), so I've listed the names of the tracks from the original SNES version in the appropriate places for those interested in finding the music on their own. I've also broken down the plot line into several quests in order to make it easier to follow along. Abbreviations are as follows, with corresponding musical themes in parentheses, along with other tracks in addition to the themes through the aftermath of the epic battle with Gades (up to the Ancient Cave): ST - Soma Temple (Shrine); E - Elcid (Village); LC - Lexis Center (Lexis Shaia Lab, a.k.a. Lexis' Theme); GD - Gordovan Drawbridge (Tower); P - Parcelyte (Port Town); TAM - Tanbel Abandoned Mine (Cave); GB - Gruberik Bridge (Tower); BK - Bound Kingdom (Castle); LT - Logismos Temple (Towering Mountain); AC - Ancient Cave (The Lost World); GE - Gratze Empire (Shudder); ICM - Ice Mist Mountain Pass (The Abysmal Depths of the Ocean, a.k.a. Deep Blue); GF - Gratze Factory; MNR - Mountain of No Return (Labyrinth); ES - Eserikto; CS - Caldia Shrine (The Abysmal Depths of the Ocean, a.k.a Deep Blue); DI - Doom Island; EC - Doom Island Energy Core (The One Who Saves the Earth, a.k.a.
