Eric's act 2 boss squashed me in three turns so I decided to go exploring. Stumbled upon a very interesting scene in Gallopolis. I know I'm not supposed to be here yet but...
Gublet saw a Solid Ghost Owl on Rab's head and its purple and has tentacles and you can see its heart and I am close to answers!
Guess I'll see if I can find some Liquid Metals and get back on the path as quick as I can.
