▍Yohane the Parhelion: Blaze in the Deepblue System Details
Game Areas:
Sunken Temple
A sunken temple with a mysterious aura. The path through is fairly straightforward, making it a good place to learn the basics.
Ruins
The ruins of an ancient civilization. The quicksand here is difficult to get out of once you fall in, so watch your step.
Grotto
A cave system dimly lit by a faint light. Some pockets of water here might require an item before you can dive in.
Home Base: Yohane’s Fortune Parlor
Various healing items are for sale at the fortune parlor where Yohane lives. You can travel here any time from the map screen, and Lailaps will take you here if you’re defeated.
If you find an enemy too tough to handle, stocking up on healing items should get you through.
