Southern Caves Walkthrough
[1] Head to the Southern Caves.
Starting from Heurich's Camp at Northern Westerea, cross the bridge, then head south to find the Cave.
FIRST AREA: Southern Caves - Marshlands Exit
After entering the Cave, head straight to encounter a rare monster called Jewelrie.
If you come across this shiny fiend, you may have hit the jackpot since they drop Tul! Keep in mind that they have a hard shell, so chipping away at their HP might be a challenge the first time around.
