Save Crystal is just right behind you. Hit the golden statue/urn for the map.

Start from now, DON'T touch that treasure chest on the right, one of the two

chests there hiding an Elixir, do not open it if you want 'Strongest Halberd/

Zodiac Spear' weapon easily later of the game. For more details about this

weapon, read the "11. Weapons" section.

In the hall, go forward to watch an event. Talk to the soldier, then talk to

the Palace Servent near the pole. Now press "Square" to call the soldier over,

once he leaves his position, run past him, up the stairs and enter the door.

The map of this area is roughly like this:

You start at S, and don't care about the passages at right side. Some soldiers

are blocking your way at point A,C,E.

All you need to do is press "Square" to provoke the soldiers away from blocking

you. First provoke the soldiers at E from F area, while they're coming, run to

the passage below of the map. Now no more soldiers at E, so go to B and provoke

the A soldier. Then go to D, examine the Lion Signet on the floor and use the

Crescent Stone that was given by Dalan before, and the Faint Wall at X will be

activated. Now provoke the C soldiers from D, then run back to E and provoke

the F soldiers. Go back to the passage below and move to X.

Inside the secret passage, just go to the end of the passage and check the

switch on the left wall, push it to unlock the door on the other side here,

open it to next area. After the scene, you will obtain Goddess's Magicite,

now just run to upper level through the stairs to trigger another scene.
