All is not well when the Hero arrives at the abbey. Abbot Jack has gone missing and no one seems to know where he has gone. By speaking to people at the abbey, the Hero learns that the Abbot ate a mysterious fruit before running out of the abbey. The Abbot's colleagues seem to think he went to the Tower of Trades. The Hero learns the bow party trick which is necessary in order to enter the tower.

Visiting the tower, the Hero battles Master of Nu'un on the top floor. After defeating the monster, Abbot Jack is freed from his bondage and able to return to the abbey.

After being rescued, Abbot Jack remains at the abbey and can be talked to normally for the remainder of the game.
