Never thought I'd be updating this again. Well every since I put this up,
I get asked by people a few times a week how to get to Mimir's Well so I
figured I should probably throw that bit of info into this guide. I also
fixed it up a bit to make it look all nice and pretty ^_^. Also realized
that I put the wrong e-mail address at the top of the document... There
still may be a future for this guide, but that would only be if I ever
find the time to beat the game again. So that's all for now folks!

All done! This little In-depth FAQ is likely in its final form. It will
only be changed if I decide to do a major change to it i.e. turning it
into a complete puzzle guide instead of just one of Mimir's Well.

What is this little piece of junk? That's what you are probably thinking
right now, huh? Well I'll tell you. Right now this guide is designed to
help you through those three annoying block puzzles in Mimir's Well. At
first I was just putting these together to help someone who was stuck on
the boards, but then I figured I might as well type them up all nice and
neat for everyone to enjoy.
There might be a future for this guide, but at this moment I can not say
for sure. My plan is to eventually turn this little thing into a complete
puzzle guide covering every single puzzle in Wild Arms 3 big and small.
Will it happen? At this moment, only time will tell...

3. Mimir's Well?

What is Mimir's Well? How can I get there? I want these super-fantastic
prizes! If that's how you are feeling right now, then make sure you read
this section.

:What is Mimir's Well?:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Mimir's Well is not as much of a dungeon as it is a... Well I'm not exactly
sure how to explain it. It is a small place that you must go to for a few
mandatory events, but you can return to for a few chests and a secret boss.
____________________
:How can I get there?:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
First things first, you have to make sure you are far enough along in the
game to reach Mimir's Well. The dungeon just before you head over to
Mimir's Well is the Demondor Pillar-Rear in Chapter 4. If you are past
that and still need help locating Mimir's well then read on. When you
finished the Demondor Pillar-Rear you should see a scene involving
Virginia's father and a white flower (sorry I don't really remember any
details, been a few months since I last played Wild Arms 3). After the
scene, head back over to Boot Hill.
Walk up to the graveyard in town and you should notice a white flower on
one of the graves. Examine it and you will find a letter that talks about,
and gives the location of, Mimir's Well. Now that you know where Mimir's
Well is, time to go find it. Warp over to Gunner's Heaven (if you have the
Teleport Orb that it). Mimir's Well is to the north. Just keep an eye on
your map for the co-ordinates. Once inside there will be a long scene that
I remember nothing about. I am pretty sure you are back in Boot Hill after
the scene. When you can, warp over to Mimir's Well and go back inside.
______________
:What's inside?:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
There are nine chests in Mimir's Well (four from the block puzzles and five
just sitting around) and the secret boss Lolithia. Since this is such a
straight forward 'dungeon', I won't bother explaining the locations of the
chests. Oh yeah, the password to the door is 'TOMORROW'. To fight Lolithia,
input the password 'emeth' into the console in the final room. If I
remember correctly that will trigger the boss battle.

First notice the letters and numbers around the grid. These are what you
use to find the location of each of the co-ordinates below the grid. Each
square filled with X's represents the starting positions of each of the
blocks. The letter number combos below the grid represent squares on the
grid and where to push each block. For example, step one says to move the
block that is located in square B2 to square A4. Understand? One last
thing about the grids. See the squares that are not sealed between each
other (D4 and E4)? Those represent the raised platforms scattered across
some of the puzzles that you have to work around.
