Hello
I havent read the hint here before so Im not sure, if its well-known how to get lightshield easily. I only know one chest, where to find it, and thats in Bajin. First you kill nessie and get lightsowrd & exalibur and then you walk to the border to Bajin and save. You enter bajin, kill the empath and run on land, some crabs and sentries will attack you but wiht Magic screen you should have no problems. You will reach the house with the chest in 3 rounds and enter during combat. There you will kill the keeper of the chest...one poor sentry:) and wait until the fight is cancelled. now you can open the chest and receive your lightword, if inside.
this procedure last longer than the trick with nessie, but the propability to get the shield is much higher than to get excalibur. you can also get the special ..rizer (not Vapo) in the chest.
Someone wrote, that you cannot get lightshield if you have lightword, but thats wrong, i have the sowrd and got the shield in second attempt.
its very nice wondering around with a fighter having lightsowrd and shield, monsters look at you and really bet you to cast turncoat :)
(especially Savants..160dmg/hit are really nice)

I never heard of the light sword or shield. Quite frankly i don't care, cuz i like to rely on non-bs swords. Thats just my opinion though. Sorry if i was a bit rude.

Yep, The light sword can be obtained from killing the Bucaneer Ghost and the light shield can be obtained from the hut in Bayjin. If you are lucky, you could also get either a Frontier Phaser or the Mystery Ray from the chest too. ;)
