THE OUTDOORS

Shops Merchant Camp: Food, tools, buys stuff

• Random monsters in this region include slugs with basilisks, gazers with eyebeasts.
• You can't get past either of the Empire guardposts. You will be attacked by a large and powerful force every time you try, which may be good to gain xp, but you can't rest outside to recharge in this region.
• You need the orb in order to do much of anything. Fly across the water, then go hunting, killing the empire troops as they come. You may run into a batch of tough guards who have steel bolts and chain, a nice bit of cash.
• To the SE there is a lava rich area where the Lava Peninsula is.
• A bit to the west of this dungeon is a secret passage which leads around and around to a batch of 20 efreeti. Kill them (a tough fight with rich rewards), and you can go and hit a small patch of land - you get the EasTer Egg code. Return to the tower, and use it (the blank spot) for some humor.

ERIKA'S TOWER

• You should have the portal code from the pillar west of Solberg's tower. Use it, and upon entering you'll be attacked. Circling the perimeter of the tower yields several fights with wizards, elite soldiers, and empire archers.
• There's a mandrake garden to the west and a toadstool garden east.
• To the SW there's some crates with blessed ammunition in them.
• Enter the tower, and go pass all the vacant troops. Go north and pull the lever; wait for the blades to dissipate. Continue around and pull the next lever, then stay off the brown path when it passes next to the pillars.
• Go south, killing the golems and gazers (you can just follow the brown path if you want).
• In the room with 9 pillars, go south then west to the secret room, pull the lever to disable the blade traps, then go north. Kill the demons, stay off the runes, then dispel or walk through the barriers.
• Next is a puzzle area: Here's a way to get through it, provided you have 3 or more members in your party. You can switch places with other members without hassle.

• Next is the chamber of options: Luck is best, if you have enough. If not, try boulder. If not that, then maybe you have enough tool use to go through the door. If not, then you've got to get into a nasty fight.
• Go east and fight some invisible enemies, then north, killing the shamblers.
• Finally you've made it through! Talk with Erika, she'll teach you magery (at the highest price), tell you to talk with Athron, and tell you to talk with Thompson.
• Check the south room to get unlock doors 3; you need the Blessed Athame to break the seal. (Use it in Olgai - pants of power and the undead crypt near Formello - shadow leather).
• Also be sure to talk with her to receive your boon. This will give you access to the portal near the entrance to get to her sanctuary without having to go the long way around.
• To get into Erikas treasure room you need a character with tool use 20. For your trouble, you get several scrolls, a Wand of Acid, a Wand of Fire, Acid Bolts and Bolts of Life.

LAVA PENINSULA

• An efreet called Balorus lives here. Talk with him, and he'll offer to show you his goods for 5000c. Yowch. It's not really worth it at this point. If you have the cash, save, spend and see what he has to offer. It's nice (lots of blessed items, and a flaming long sword). Then reload, if you don't want anything.
