← All areas in this guide

Choosing Guile in Termina leads Korcha to boat the party to the base of the cliffs behind Viper Manor in Another World. Serge and his companions must scale a network of ladders, vines, and ledges while dodging geysers and rolling boulders dropped by guards above. Defeating the guards and cliff-dwelling monsters at the summit provides access directly onto the Viper Manor grounds.
