A: Eureka is straight inside the Crystal Tower. Just keep going straight... Q: Where can I find Onion items? A: Onion Weapons and Armor are dropped by Yellow, Green, and Red Dragons. These may be found rarely in the top floors of Crystal Tower but are much more commonly found- in fact, always found in the Iron Giant Cave (a.k.a ???) Q: How do I get the Ultima Weapon?
