Plot edit
Upon arriving in the town of Mostroferrato, the Hero notices a young woman trying to retrieve her dog, Bingo. He helps by catching the dog and finds out its owner is Nera of the Briscoletti family. Shortly afterwards, he hears that the family head Rodrigo Briscoletti is hoping to see Nera married off to a fitting husband, decided through several tests.
The first is retrieving the Circle of Fire from the trio of monsters guarding it in Mount Magmageddon, which he does by himself. Test two requires retrieving the Circle of Water from the depths of the Cataract Caves. He accomplishes this with the aid of his childhood friend Bianca Whitaker. Because of Bianca's presence, the Briscoletti family decides that the groom-to-be is to think over marrying either Nera or Bianca, and spending the night at the inn.
The following day the Hero returns to the Briscoletti residence to choose between the two ladies as well as Nera's sister, Debora Briscoletti.
