Crystalis (GBC - 1990) playthrough, part 6/20 -- Portoa

In the town of Portoa, using the newly learned Paralysis spell to reach the queen, she tasks me with discovering the town's secret in order for her to help me out. While trying to figure out what I need to do, I decide to go exploring the area and stumble across a cave behind the waterfall northeast of Portoa. Finding a couple people who have been turned to stone blocking the path further in, I leave since I don't have what's needed to cure them. Still at a loss as to what I need to do, I eventually happen to speak to the queen again, which trips the necessary flag. This leads to the third magician, Asina, revealing herself and giving me the Flute of Lime to cure the actual queen who is one of the people turned to stone in the cave. Curing the queen, I continue exploring the cave and find the Sword of Water. Thinking there is some dialog that I'm missing by not returning to Portoa before finding the sword, I reload.

I've never played the NES version, so I can't compare the two. It's generally considered to be much better than this version.

I played this on a Retro Freak, which can play cartridges/cards from around a dozen systems. It has the option of installing the game to a MicroSD card. I played off the MicroSD card.
