Inside this room are some Aurilites and an Ice Golem Champion that you will have to defeat. There is a Ice Golem standing in the middle of squares that is not hostile. You will notice numbered levers along the west and north walls. At the bottom west corner you will find three levers. The bottom most lever is the mode activator, the next lever up is for temple maintenance and the next lever is for inner sanctum. To use Battle Squares you have to push both the temple maintenance and inner sanctum levers. The party member that you use to push the mode activator lever is the one that will have to choose a square and do battle, the rest of the party will be transported outside.
The party member will have 60 seconds to defeat the monster. There are five levels for each of the ten ranks. For each level you have to complete a certain number of squares in a row (horizontal or diagonal). The last square in the row has to be the last square to win the battle. Level 1 needs three squares, Level 2 needs four squares, Level 3 needs five squares, Level 4 needs six squares and Level 5 needs seven squares. After you have completed all five levels for that rank then you can move to the next. The monsters will vary in each rank; some can be very difficult. Each time you complete a rank you will receive an item and experience. You only have to complete the first level of rank one to move forward in the game. Upon completing the first battle you will receive Oria's key.
After level one were you get the key, does it matter what order you pick the squares. Example level 2 needs 4 squares. Does that mean three in a row
plus one? Or do you have to pick them in some other order?
Thanks

They turned me loose from the nervous hospital. Said I was well.
The battlesquares work like tic-tac-toe. The players who has 3 in a row wins. To win level 1,2,3,4,5 of a rank you must finish with 3 in a row with your 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th victory. As long as this happens it doesn't matter if you loose a few battles.
The order in which you do the levels doesn't matter.
You probably won't be able to win all battlesquare ranks on your first attempt, but you can return 2 Chapters later when you're more experienced or simply skip those battles, they're optional.
Thanks guys,
I think I'm starting to get this down. I got the key, but I'm also finding out that I'm not strong enough to go very far at this game right now, so I will return latter.
thanks again
