Bath House

Found on the old ship (first floor basement through the hole in the back) is the bath house, where you can take a dip in the hot water and relax. Many strange scenes will take place here, which you can out what they are in the Bath Script above.

Blacksmith Forge

More on their skill level and the weapon power in the Blacksmith section of the shrine.

Restaurant

Outside the castle, near the lake is a small restaurant run by Mamie, a daughter of a famous chef. She turns the recipes and spices you collect into food that you can use in battle to heal yourself or harm the monsters.
