North Ryoshima Coast

Now that you have the Border Key you can unlock the gate that is on the northwest road out of Ryoshima Coast.  Talking to the two guards will allow you to pass.

N. Ryoshima Coast.  Waka is back and he takes credit for our miraculous cleanup of Ryoshima Coast.  I don’t even care anymore – I think Waka just needs a hug.  If we have a bite button, we need one for hugging too.  He tells a story about a son who takes his father’s paintings and claims them for himself.  Waka then not so subtly implies that Issun is doing the same.  Waka disappears into a cloud of fairy dust.

From the save mirror head east: Fisherman Urashima is on the beach being tormented by bullies who tease him about his belief in a castle under the sea and how a castle controls the dragons.  To get down there, you need to meet Orca.

Go to the end of the pier (by the fisherman’s house) at morning and Emissary Orca will come.  Orca says that it will take us to the Palace because we are worthy.  Ammy tries to jump on but falls off.  Jump on and like a high school state champ stuck in the past, Orca repeats that “I am second to none when it comes to swimming.”  In order to get to the underwater castle we need to find a secret whirlpool.
