Walkthrough

Prologue - Lodeen Isles

Your journey begins on the serene Lodeen Isles. This introductory chapter is designed to get you acquainted with the game mechanics and set you on your path.

Lodestone Village

Amidst the picturesque scenery, you will find a bountiful harvest of kuka and garni berries. In v1.02b or later, these berries respawn every 2-3 days - a vital resource for those traversing Real Mode or higher difficulties.

Little Oasis

When night falls, beware of tougher thugs and bandits lurking in the shadows. Taking them on yields higher gold rates and stat bonuses tailored to your playstyle.

Port Lodeen

The bustling port houses a mercenary in the port bar. He possesses a limited set of skills that help with drawing enemy attention (aggro), has plenty of HP, and a nice special move to top it off.

Chapter 1 - Evendale Kingdom (Part I)

From the Prologue to Chapter 1 and beyond, these guides serve as your compass, leading you to secret treasures, thrilling encounters, and delightful surprises. Only the little things that are easy to miss are highlighted here.

Tutorial Overview

Key Points of Interest

1. Weapons Store - Nunchaku: Hits 3 times as normal attack. A steal!
2. Rufold the Dealer (Cedarwood West markets): Sells special potions. Consuming these in emergencies can turn the tide. He is the only guy selling Analeptic Potions (65% chance to revive one party member).
3. Jasmond the Apprentice Mage (Cozy Cuppa Teahouse): His forte is Fire Magic with decent support spells. Very useful against undead or worms.
   
4. Brett the Thug (Foaming Mug): A street thug with a penchant for blinding opponents and quick reflexes. If not going for a Thief class, Brett Steal skills provide more lucrative battle rewards.
   

Eldergreen Caves (Dungeon)

Caves B1 (Fat worm area):

• Fatworms drop Grease Oil - part of the Straund Bridge Quest.
• Red circle Fat worm concentration
• Yellow circle Fat worm spawn rate x2

Fenbren Village

A very important side-quest here that could save you from hours of frustration later in the Tower of Elbris.

• Speak to the Distraught Wife panicking in the middle of the village square.
• Complete the quest to receive a Windshear Jewel - critically reduces the strength of sandstorms when climbing the Tower of Elbris.
• If the quest is not immediately available, head to the village tavern (red circle). Speak to a patron who will buy you a drink and waste some hours until nightfall.
• Claudia panics and requests help after 19:00 (evening).
  

Straund Bridge Quest

• Part A: Straightforward fetch-and-return quest. If struggling with Grease Oil, scroll back to Eldergreen Caves B1.
• Part B (Continuation): Speak to Straund again. He mentions a missing cogwheel somewhere up north. Once triggered, a sparkling tile is visible in the forest past the bridge north.

You receive a Ring of Guts after completing a minigame in the basement. If Lance is getting smacked hard, this ring will save him!

Tower of Nix

A hot tower! Fiery monsters dwell within, covered in corrupted fog. Water-based attacks are exceptionally effective. If Melissa is in your party, she casts an anti-fog barrier. Asbestos Pants equipped on any party member completely negates all fire traps.
