LITTLEBRO'S PROFILE

In Lucid Depths you get Germinas boots, and the description says "No terrain damage" The character I've equipped them on (Oalston if that makes any difference) is still being hit by the poison floor tiles, so the boots don't seem to be working at all.

Yes, sitting down works fine. Thanks.

Yes, it is. The Great Plain is a throwback to the Veldt in FF6 where you could fight many random monsters that yielded no experience.

Thanks. This is the drawback to being of that generation that never played FF, I don't get the references.

Still a query on the Hillsdale Underground Passage. The dialogue suggests that the only way through to the capital is via the Passage. So I go through, end up with the chests and, as far as I can make out, and I think I've checked every wall on the last couple of screens, all I can do is jump down the cliff and emerge back on the world map.

However, this can't be the only way through to the capital (as per story) because I can walk to this point from Hillsdale in just a few seconds. Either I've missed something, or the story has a loophole here.

I'm assuming, btw, that it's me that's missed something.

EDIT
Forgot to mention that when I look at Nobumasa's skills from the menu item I can see Mokusatsu and Reppuu, but they are not available in battle, i.e. they are not visible when I select his skills.

I have killed both monsters for the Elder at Hillsdale and he said I could use the underground passage. I enter the cave south of the village but I'm faced with a sheer cliff with chests on top. I've clicked everything in sight, but cannot see how to get any further than just the opening few steps. What am I missing?

btw, really enjoying this game.
