Story

Chapter I

The Golden Road was at one time a bustling trade route, but due to monster activity brought about by the shift in the world's mana power, much of this trade has been interrupted. On the advice of Von Boyage, our heroes must brave this treacherous route to reach Valsena via Stonesplit Gap to the north. Meanwhile, the port of Beiser to the southwest is closed and heavily guarded in light of hostilities nearby.

Later, as our heroes have liberated Valsena, the Hero King sends them to Beiser in order to reach Palo across the ocean; and from Palo, they may reach Laurent and the Windstone believed to be held there.

Chapter II

As the heroes escape Beuca Island with the aid of Vuscav, the creature drops them off on the southeast beach in order that they will return to Valsena. After the Hero King tells them where to find the remaining Mana Spirits, the Golden Road becomes one of the many places Vuscav can make landfall.

Li'l Cactus

Talk to the man on the east side of the road near Maia, then follow the paved path west to reach a fork in the road. Head north to remain on the paved path and Li'l Cactus will trigger a cutscene, after which he drops off his stamp card so that the player can track the hunt. This is the first sighting. It is also the only mandatory sighting.
