I'd say don't bother hunting monsters outside Chaos Shrine as all monsters will show up inside the dungeon anyway.

Feel free to farm a few levels before venturing into the next dungeon.
I personally got to level 5.
Can rest at the Inn of Cornelia for 30G to refill HP and MP.
I bought 10 potions and 10 antidotes with the earned Gil. Sleeping bags are also a decent investment.
When you're ready, go all the way north of the Overworld to reach a destroyed Castle.
Head inside.

This boss fight is pretty easy, just attack with your Warrior/Thief, heal with the White Mage, and cast Fire/Thunder with the Black Mage.
You'll be teleported back to Castle Cornelia after winning.
A Hero's Journey Saved Princess Sarah by defeating Garland.

Now, head west and interact with the wizards to face three Lizards and two Hill Gigas (good experience + Hill Gigas entry in Bestiary).
Once done, head back to the entrance.
Back at the entrance, go east and then south at the split.
You'll find yet another split. Take the left path to end in a room with two chests.

If you have issues, use Dia/Fire based spells.
After winning, open the chest just behind the boss. [66/249]
That's all we can do here for now.
Leave the cave backtracking all the way to the surface or use Teleport if you bought it during you visit to Melmond.
└ The Earth Crystal: Part II
Overworld
Pay a visit to Melmond if you need to heal and feel free to purchase the Knight's Armor if you have the funds.
You'll need to take the ship back to Cornelia or another town with Item Shop if you want to refill supplies.
Anyway, head to this location to continue with your adventure:
Giant's Cave
From the entrance, head up and talk to the Giant. He will eat your Star Ruby and let you pass.

Ankheg also shows up here, but it's a kinda rare encounter so I highly recommend saving it for a later location where it's way more common.

Here you can find Ogre Mage and Sphinx as normal encounters as opposed to Cavern of Earth.
Also, this is a good place to get common encounters with Ankheg if you didn't farm it before near Crescent Lake.
Hornet Devil also seems to spawn at this location but it's kinda rare so I recommended waiting for a later dungeon. I'll mention it when we get there.
From the entrance, head northwest to find the stairs to the next floor.
You can step on the lava but be aware that it will take 1 HP from your whole party per tick.
Mount Gulg - B2
Take the door just by the stairs.
Go up, then west at the first split.
Open the chest for an encounter against Fire Elemental (x2): ID 060.
You'll get Mythril Helm after the battle. [79/249]
Head south from this location to find another chest.
Open it for Monsters! (Fire Elemental x2) → 1520 Gil. [80/249]
Backtrack to the previous chest and head north.
At the split, head west first for a chest.
Open it for Monsters! (Fire Elemental x2) → Great Sword. [81/249]
Backtrack to the split and head east this time.
Open the chest on the way for 4150 Gil. [82/249]
Follow the linear path north, then all the way west.
Go down and then up to find two more chests with 1295 Gil and Monsters! (Fire Elemental x2) → 1250 Gil respectively. [84/249]
From here go south all the way, then through the zig-zag corridor to find a lot of chests.
Interact with the wizard for a battle with two Fire Elementals.

Finally, the only hard boss in the whole game.
I basically buffed all my party members with Haste and my attackers with Temper multiple times to raise their ATK power. I went mostly offensive.
My White Wizard had Full-Life to get me out of those hard moments and Curaja to constantly heal my party up.
Be aware that boss' physical attacks can be extremely devastating.
Magical attacks ain't that hard to survive, but physical is another story.
So this is a summary of my turns:
Knight: attacks
Ninja: attacks
White Wizard: Heals up and Holy when the team is fine.
Black Wizard: Haste on all four party members first, then Temper several times to raise ATK power.
And that is. Good luck!
If you were lucky/skilled enough to win, take my congratulations!
Also enjoy the long ass credits and your last achievements!
