Oh yeah, I deleted that post actually
(I don't think you'd posted yet by the time I did)
I was actually thinking about the Tabasa statue. I gotta admit, I haven't had much luck making many connections in MT1 between actual mythological artifacts and figures.
Btw, what is "Wolf" in the end? Could that be Kerberos?
I always thought "Rick" was Lich, but then I thought Lich was pronounced with a hard K back then. Does he change into Bastet? There might be some connection?
I forgot about Gaia I guess. Odd name for a dude in his situation.

Yes, that's Kerberos. I wrote "wolf" just because I forgot his name and then just forgot about it. I will edit that right now.
リック is written "Rick" in the ending, so I used "Rick" in my walkthrough. Yea maybe he changes into something if you keep him long enough in your party, but I'm really not sure about that. I will have to do some researches about it.
edited: What kind of strategy guides are you using?
I'm not using any strategy guides, but I had to search on the internet to figure out how to get the 白龍の玉White dragon gem and the ヒノカグツチの剣Hinokaguchi’s sword
