iOS, Mobile and Android changes[edit]

Unlike the change from the PS1 to the DS version, the phone versions keep the details of the town the same with some acceleration of building the town and other details allowing for completion within Chapter 5.

Stage One[edit]

Triggered by inviting a nun from the church in Laissez Fayre. Afterwards, Hank will point the party to couples Rocky and Adrian in Mintos in the Inn and Church respectfully. After returning to the field, Hank wonders how Conrad Hilton has been since his departure. The party returns to Mintos again to inform him of Hank's town, with the old man offering the services of a merchant who is south of the three shops in town. Changes include:

  • The addition of a house with a field. Said house is occupied by Rocky and Adrian.
  • An item shop is built.
  • Hoffman's House is built right outside of town [strange how it wasn't there when you warped there, huh?]. This is where you can use the church features and Hoffman asks you to give input on a town name.

Stage Two[edit]

Triggered by defeating the boss at Zamoksva. Afterwards talk to Rocky and head to the church in Burland to invite a man named Bones and a bard at the Inn named Prelvis Esley. Following that, Bones will direct the party to a woman and her dog at Canalot. Changes include:

  • An outdoor church being set up.
  • An Inn is built.
  • Another house has been built.

Stage Three[edit]

Triggered by obtaining the Ultimate Key and talking to Prelvis Esley.

Afterwards, go to the Cascade Cave. A woman named Carla is on the first floor, with a man named Streo Louse along the pathway on the next floor. Following that Streo points the party to a weaver named Zack at Riverton's Inn, who in turn brings up a dwarf in Rosehill who wants to become a priest in a church. Changes include:

Stage Four[edit]

Triggered after defeating Estark and then talking to Zack (behind the counter in the shop building). Go to the jail in Strathbaile, then free the Slime Mary Curey and invite her.
