As the party explores the town, they discover a bedridden Kiryl at the inn, attended by Borya.

Concerned for the Tsarevna's safety, he requests the party look for her, joining them in their efforts.
After securing the feverfew root from Parthenia, the party heads back to Mintos, finding Alena has returned ahead of them. They adminster the cure to Kiryl, and he makes a speedy recovery.

Version differences[]
- In the NES version, Hank Hoffman, Jr. stays in the party until Alena and Kiryl join, whereas the remakes see him leaving as soon as the party first arrives in Mintos. Additionally he will go on to leave Mintos to found the Immigrant Town at the site of the Desert Bazaar.
- In the remakes Borya needs to be recruited for the party to begin searching for Kiryl's cure in Parthenia; in the NES version the player can avoid recruiting him until after they return with the feverfew root.
- In the mobile versions of the game, Mintos needs to be revisited during the creation of the Immigrant Town. After the magic key is obtained, Hoffman will request the party seek out a couple by the name of Rocky and Adrian, who can be found in the inn and church respectively. Following their recruitment, he expresses curiosity as to how Conrad 'Ilton is doing. Upon speaking with 'Ilton during the day, he will recommend the services of one of his merchants, who is located south of the row of shops.
