Talk to the three mercenaries now. They will give you three pieces of a note. This ones really memorable i never learned how to solve this by SHOGI. Instead i wrote the paths ive been through to a piece of paper. it took me a day just to get to frozen palace.. Do they really expect that all people know a japanese board game? what where they thinking? anyway since i was tortured by this i didnt need to use a walkthrough i still memorized all the paths by experience....
