Welcome back to the first ever Let's Play! on Channel 90! We're continuing exactly where we left off last time after the fight with The Giant Claw in the water palace.
Upon my return to the castle, I was told of another location where an elemental spirit might reside. Wasting no time, I gathered more supplies from the castle basement and set off on my way.
This time I am heading to the northeast to the great falls in search of Efreet.
My natural inclination was to follow the river. It was very low and slow-moving, and the silhouettes of fish could be seen feeding around the water's surface.
With Dytto's help, I was able to temporarily stop the water from falling over the upper ridge, revealing the cave of Efreet hidden behind the waterfall.
Surprisingly, the interior of the cavern was dry and hot. Not the slightest bit humid or damp as one might expect.
Unsurprisingly, there were zombies; The dried-up husks of travelers lost to the ravages of time and the black arts.
At the very end of the cave where the spirit's aura was at its strongest, hidden beneath the dark murky water, was the dreaded Black Skull! He always reminded me of Secret of Mana's Dark Lich boss with how he'd submerge himself and attack using his hands, which acted as separate entities.
With the Black Skull defeated, I made my way to the alter in the back room and found Efreet.
This was typically as far as I was ever able to make it on my own as a kid as the game quickly ramped up in difficulty upon arriving at the next major location.
