The narrow corridor where you find the Iron Ore in the Moat of Burnedbless. Kinda sucks that it's such a long walk. :(

How weird, I am having trouble pushing him into the narrow corridor. Any tip?
RPG Gamer Man Feb 16, 2013 @ 1:56pm 
Yea..use fireball. I kept shooting it at him to push him into that small place..then when he is pushed far enough with fireballs, push all the way back.

Ah, got that now. Thanks!

Sometimes that works, sometimes not. I find you usually have to get lucky and hope he'll move off to the side for that second bend.

I wonder what people at Falcom were thinking when this easter egg was created.

It took me over 100 fireballs to get him into the end! -.-

Yeah, that corridor can be a real pain at times.

No...steam achievements are different then the games...im not sure if the developer puts them in the game..or steam does on it's end.

The achievement itself was added by Xseed (more specifically, Sara handled that part from what Tom told us with Oath and Origin's releases), but measuring Tarf was something Falcom put in there. Xseed just opted to make a good number of the achievements center around finding those easter eggs, which is definitely a good way to do them since the achievements help us discover things we may not have found otherwise.

I have to admit, I love the art for the achievement. Somehow putting "I refuse to draw this" makes it seem so much worse.

Yea...i agree..love the achievemt system..although at first i thought it was more of a "let's be like xbox achievements ripoff" thing..now..i found them more amusing..and that picture drawing..now we will always wonder what's under that!!!!Mysteries indeed!

I've been trying to do this, am I correct I should go through the poison tunnel with him to reach it? Tarf somehow stopped having his leaf equipped so I feel like I'm screwed for this, or perhaps I can do anything about that?

Edit: Actually I found out just now that when he says 'the village is the other way' he still follows me, would've saved me tons of time if I tried that the first time :P

You can't take him through the poisoned part anyhow. Can only go through the part Keith broke to get away, but you can access all of Burnedbless from there, even can go back to the Ice Ridge.

You're looking for a room near the goddess statue and the spot where you found the iron ore.

No..you cannot take him thru the poison dungeon. There is a alternative path...like the above poster said, you can get all the way back to beginning thanks for the other character opening the closed path. as Ladynadiad said, "you can't take him through the poisoned part anyhow."
