Defeat the Dark Elf For Earth Crystal

[The Unknown Guru]

It took two hours for me to figure out how to get to it, but it was pretty easy for me.

I always run from every battle in that place.

I really see no reason for fighting in most dungeons. I go to dungeons to progress the story, and if I need some exp or money, I'll go fight specifically for that. Then once I have what I need, I go to the next story event place in the game, and bust my way through, usually running from fights because I don't need the money or exp. If there's a monster who drops stuff, I'll kill it. Or if it's guarding a chest, obviously. But I don't like to fight a lot in dungeons because the first RPG I played was FF1 for the NES, and in that game, fighting in dungeons meant that you'd get to the boss of the dungeon with low MP and perhaps poisoned or petrified. Or even dead. In FF4, that's not a HUGE deal because you can just use an item to revive the dead. In FF1, you had to go all the way back to a city to revive people. There was a spell "LIFE", but you really only had a few casts of it, and you'd want to use those casts for CURE3.

So yeah, I level then I go on with the story. If I die on the boss of the place, I just go level up some more, sometimes in the dungeon, but sometimes not.

Usually i just run from every battle and get pwn'd by the dark elf at the end..

You can equip your [strike]itesm[/strike] items during battle to prevent the magnet effect.
Just remember to de-equip them out of battle.
