5.0.4 Adamant Grotto
--------------------------

This side-quest involves the use of the Enterprise and the Hovercraft. You can only do this after you’ve visited the Town of Summons (Section 4.6.3 and 4.6.4) and obtained the Rat Tail from the chest there.

To reach the Adamant Grotto, you’ll need to use the Hovercraft. Fly back to Eblan with the Falcon and then get into the Enterprise. Then grab the Hovercraft from near the Eblan Cave. Then, fly to the Mythril Village. Remember that cave nearby, that you couldn’t reach before? Now you can. Put down the Hovercraft on the Mythril Village island and then land the Enterprise there as well. Then get in the Hovercraft, and navigate it over the shallow rocks to the cave nearby the Mythril Village island. This cave is the Adamant Grotto.

You’ll see a midget and his son at the center of an altar. It seem that this guy has a strange fascination with animal tails, and collects them. Talk to the guy in the center, and an item menu will pop up. Select the Rat Tail from the menu and you’ll hand it over. As thanks for giving him a new tail, the man will reward you with a piece of Adamant, a legendary ore!

Now, there’s someone we need to show this legendary metal to. Remember Kokkol, the smith? Go back to the underworld, and visit Kokkol’s Smithy again (tucked into the southeastern corner of the underworld).

---------------------------
5.0.5 Kokkol’s Smithy
---------------------------

Go inside the smithy, and go to Kokkol’s bedroom on the second floor. Talk to the sleeping smith and an item menu will appear. Select the Adamant from the menu.

Needless to say, Kokkol is thrilled. His inspiration is fired up again from finally finding the legendary ore. He tells Cecil to hand over that old sword, so he can give it new life (the Legend Sword, now you know why you couldn’t get rid of it all this time). Then, follow him downstairs and talk to him. He’ll have refitted your Legend Sword, and forged it into the holy sword, Excalibur. You’ll then receive the Excalibur, Cecil’s second best sword. Needless to say, you’ll be kicking ass now. Only one other sword in the game is more powerful than this sword, but you won’t be seeing it for awhile.

Well, Kokkol’s all fired up to be a smith again, so we helped someone on top of getting an awesome sword. Way to go! Time to continue.
