"SPOILERS"
Lvl 8 can be made in 3 moves, instead of par 5:
- Use earthquake to swap segment 6 between rings 1 and 2
- Rotate ring 2 counterclockwise
- Use volcano on ring 2, segment 3
MINOR SPOILERS!!!!
After you place thar stone on the pedestal and save the Sun Temple from monsters, they never spawn there again? Do I get another chance to fight a Revenant? I really wanted the Sun Axe
so, mardek's items are carried over, but some characters won't continue on the game (I won't tell the spoilers here). Some of them, you'll have to wait until they come back to your party to have access to their items. Anyway, after you beat this chapter, you may have access to your party members' items and can put them in the storage, which I suggest you to do.
