Pass Through Doors

To pass through locked doors without a key, simply turn yourself into a fairy (with the Fairy spell) and float on through.

Sword Skills

To discover the art of the upward attack, go to Darunia and use the Jump spell to leap up to the house with a chimney. Drop down this and go right to find a knowledgeable warrior.

The downward attack is found in Mido. Use the Jump spell to reach the open door at the top of the church, and go through to find a teacher.
