It is the sanctuary of Mana Stone of Light and, later, the lair of [[Lightgazer]], the [[Benevodon]] of Light. Like [[Daria|Gemstone Valley Daria]] and the [[Woods of Wandara]], it is inaccessible without the [[Flammie Drum]]. According to an elderly man in Wendel, the Shimmering Ruins is a legendary place constructed in honor of the Mana Goddess, as it is believed that the Goddess had made her first steps into Fa'Diel upon her descent onto its grounds after the creation of the world. ==Enemies== ===2D Version=== Note : each level gain correspond to the number of slain benevodon, starting from none and ending at six. *[[Dragodon]] (evolve from Tanpole) Lv 28 | Lv 30 | Lv 32 | Lv 34 | Lv 36 | Lv 38 | Lv 40 *[[Magic Tezla]] Lv 28 | Lv 30 | Lv 32 | Lv 34 | Lv 36 | Lv 38 | Lv 40 *[[Marmpoto]] Lv 28 | Lv 30 | Lv 32 | Lv 34 | Lv 36 | Lv 38 | Lv 40 *[[Parpoto]] (spawn from Marmpoto) Lv 28 | Lv 30 | Lv 32 | Lv 34 | Lv 36 | Lv 38 | Lv 40 *[[Silver Knight]] Lv 28 | Lv 30 | Lv 32 | Lv 34 | Lv 36 | Lv 38 | Lv 40 *[[Siren]] Lv 28 | Lv 30 | Lv 32 | Lv 34 | Lv 36 | Lv 38 | Lv 40 *[[Tanpole]] Lv 28 | Lv 30 | Lv 32 | Lv 34 | Lv 36 | Lv 38 | Lv 40 *'''[[Lightgazer]]''' (boss) ===2020 Remake=== ====Chapter V==== Note : each level gain correspond to the number of slain benevodon, starting from none and ending at six. *[[Dragodon]] (evolve from Tanpole) Lv 38 | Lv 40 | Lv 42 | Lv 44 | Lv 46 | Lv 48 | Lv 50 *[[Magic Tezla]] Lv 38 | Lv 40 | Lv 42 | Lv 44 | Lv 46 | Lv 48 | Lv 50 *[[Marmpoto]] Lv 38 | Lv 40 | Lv 42 | Lv 44 | Lv 46 | Lv 48 | Lv 50 *[[Parpoto]] (spawn from Marmpoto) Lv 38 | Lv 40 | Lv 42 | Lv 44 | Lv 46 | Lv 48 | Lv 50 *[[Silver Knight]] Lv 38 | Lv 40 | Lv 42 | Lv 44 | Lv 46 | Lv 48 | Lv 50 *[[Siren]] Lv 38 | Lv 40 | Lv 42 | Lv 44 | Lv 46 | Lv 48 | Lv 50 *[[Tanpole]] Lv 38 | Lv 40 | Lv 42 | Lv 44 | Lv 46 | Lv 48 | Lv 50 *'''[[Lightgazer]]''' (boss) Lv 51 == Treasures & Items == === Treasure Boxes (2D version)=== {| class="article-table" !Treasure !Location !Availability !Notes |- |[[Honey Elixir|Honey Drink]] |End of the path south of the puzzle slates |After rescuing the Faerie |<nowiki>-</nowiki> |} === Treasure Boxes (3D version)=== '''Count: 13''' {| class="article-table" !Treasure !Location !Availability !Notes |- |[[Gold Item Seed]] (1) |On a broken path southeast of the Mana statue. |Chapter V |<nowiki>-</nowiki> |- |[[Gold Item Seed]] (1) |On a lower square-shaped platform northeast of the Mana statue. |Chapter V |<nowiki>-</nowiki> |- |[[Gold Item Seed]] (1) |On a broken path behind a square-shaped room in the eastern part of the map. |Chapter V |<nowiki>-</nowiki> |- |'''Lightgazer's Ring''' (1) |On an elevated platform linked by a collapsible row of blocks in the eastern part of the map ; the blocks need to be raised by a nearby crystal trigger. |Chapter V |<nowiki>-</nowiki> |- |[[Honey Elixir]] (2) |On a winding path beyond a collapsible row of blocks in the eastern part of the map ; the blocks need to be lowered by a nearby crystal trigger. |Chapter V |<nowiki>-</nowiki> |- |[[Cup of Wishes]] (3) |On a balcony connected to a small rectangular room in the northwestern part of the map. |Chapter V |<nowiki>-</nowiki> |- |2500 lucre |On a narrow winding path behind some stairs in the southwestern part of the map. |Chapter V |<nowiki>-</nowiki> |- |[[Honey Elixir]] (3) |On a lower platform due east of the Mana statue.

This is exemplified with how at the Shimmering Ruins, the footfalls of the Mana Goddess are praised more than the Mana Goddess and her creations themselves. {{ToMLocations}} [[Category:Dungeons]] [[Category:Trials of Mana]] [[Category:Locations in Seiken Densetsu 3]] [[Category:Trials of Mana Locations]] [[Category:Heroes of Mana Locations]]
