Just as the player enters the stage, they will see the iron head being surrounded by Teatan villagers. Someone from the inside of the head tells them to scram before asking for the player to carry the head. Once they go forward the player will notice that they can't walk the main path with the head, as the head blocks the electricity and closes the path. Just break the small stones to pass. On the second block, the player can drop the head before going to the other side and break the small rocks making way to push the blocks and allowing the player to pass.

As the player brings the head to the objective, they will see Marianne working on something. She is being nagged by someone to actually rest and sleep and let the Teatan Defense Force (TDF) to deal with it, but Marianne argues that the TDF should focus on evacuating citizens and Marianne herself should deal with the invaders. The guy wants to help, but Marianne refuses by saying that he *doesn't know how to even set up a printer*. The guy eventually relents and leaves. Once the player talks to Marianne she'll tell them that she was waiting for them. The player is allowed to ask her any questions. She is impressed by the player's ability to fight with the Harvester.

Suddenly, the Champion's Sword reacts to Marianne and the player asks her for her help in saving Kanterbury. She, however, doesn't want to save another kingdom before saving her own, so she asks the player to help her first. She tells the player that she needs electricity to power up the Iron Teatan by powering up three power coils. She'll then give the player the Ogre Glove to allow them to pick up bombs.

One of the power coils is just outside the lab; pick up a bomb and blow up the big rock in between two electricity blocks. The next one is blocked by a lot of rocks. Clear them out and move the electricity blocks to connect the wiring. The player also needs to step on the red button to allow the electricity to go through a block, but they don't have to worry about keeping the button down.

The way to the last power coil goes through a house; the player needs to first go to the rightmost room to press on the button and unlock the room to the bombs. Once the player has done that, they can use the bomb to break the big rock between electricity blocks and open another room. This room has a torch which the player can finally bring to the unlit standing lantern to open the way to the staircase. Go through the underground passage and the player will come across a bunch of Teatans that have evacuated. The last power coil is there; just break the small rocks and Marianne will tell the player to meet her at the Eastwood Street. The player can now exit the level.

## Collection Guide

Right at the first screen as the player enters there is a  Mysterious Slate behind some rocks. The Mole Glove is needed to break them.

Just left of Marianne's Lab, there is a Lv.20 Obsidian Necklace.

Going north from the crossroads before the lab and triggering the battle and cutscene will lead to the start of the Pirate King Rachel quest. The player will save a couple of kids from invaders. As the player is talking to the kids, the invader tries to pull a sneak attack on them but Rachel comes and kills the invader. She will brag about how she will be the next pirate king, until couple more pirates show up and demand to know if Rachel has finished her job. Rachel proceeds to leave with them, but then comes back briefly to share their destination. By the end of the scene, the Quiet Teatan Village stage is unlocked, which is needed to continue the quest.

At the same area, push the small blocks so one of them sits on top of the button and collect a  Star Piece from the other side.

South of the second power coil is the Goblin Girl who has the Last Spurt! racing quest. Along with its rewards, completing this quest will also grant a  Star Piece.

Inside the house on the top right of the map, the player can find Legend of Hyper sitting on the table on the rightmost room. This item is needed to complete the quest Lazy Fairy. Inside the house is another  Mysterious Slate, which the player can access by picking up a bomb and blowing up the big rock in front of it. The last locked room has Obsessive Teatan that will follow the player on SNS once they interact with her. The last item in the house is Lv.10 Magic Fruit Necklace that the player can pick up from one of the rooms.

The last  Mysterious Slate is on the main path. In the house to the top right of the map, go down the staircase and the player will see it in the middle of the ground.

At the place where all the villagers have grouped up, use the torch to light up all the campfires in the area to reveal another  Star Piece. One of the NPCs has a blue star mark above their head; talk to them and she will tell the player that she's looking for her brother and asks for the player's help. She will tell the player the location of Hide-and-Seek Trio stage.

At the campfires, the player will see that Bob and Linda have been captured by a Teatan soldier who is accusing them of being invaders. Talk to the soldier to start the Guardian Bob and Linda at Teatan Kingdom quest. The soldier will ask the player to prove themselves. Once the player had lit all the campfires, the Teatan will tell the player that he still can't set them free, no matter what. That is, before a bunch of invaders suddenly attack the camp. Once the player defeat them, the Teatan guardian will finally relent and let the two of them free.

After completing the three power coils, Marianne will use the Iron Teatan to destroy barricades. Go back to the middle street to pick up a  Star Piece and miss-able  Purple Bolts.

The player can find the Mysterious Altar at the beginning of the stage. After the first electricity barricade, the player can see the two bombs. Pick up one of them and throw them at the wall between the two bomb plants. The player can see a secret passageway on the minimap. Destroying the big rock in the player's way, they can now access the passage and find the altar to redeem the Mecha Girl costume.
