Final Fantasy I Walkthrough

14. Way Too Many Rivers

Your next destination is Crescent Lake. Sail your ship south of Melmond and follow the outside of the coast, rather than go back through the canal. You’ll start going east, and eventually you’ll find a port. It takes quite a while to get there. Once there, land, then walk southwest to find the town of Crescent Lake.

Once in Crescent Lake, restock your Potion and Antidote items, and get the best armor possible for your team. Buy weapons for anyone that needs them, as well, then head to the magic shops, where you can purchase Level 6 spells. Bolt3 and Quake are handy Black Magic spells, and Invis2 and Shld2 are great White Magic spells. After you’re done buying what you need, follow a hidden path in the town to the twelve sages, and speak with them all. You’ll receive a Canoe that you can use to get to the next dungeon, Mt. Gulg. Now, on the world map, you can simply walk into the shallow water to be able to traverse the rivers around Crescent Lake or anywhere else in the world. Follow the paths until you reach a volcano.
