THE OUTDOORS

• Regenerating monsters in this region include (guess what?) giants. They are good for treasure since you often get bars of silver along with their coins.
• There are some one time encounters with more (guess again?) giants.
• North of the Giant Fort you will find bits of pink ribbon; a sure clue where the gremlin women may be.
• South of the Moldy Cavern is an old monastery which has been taken over by the giants. Kill them then search the ruins for a Blessed Small Shield.

MOLDY CAVERN

• The only purpose to this cave is to provide access to regenerating patches of toadstools and mandrake root.
• Kill the Giants and hydra to gain unhindered access.

GIANT'S CAVE

• The first time you enter the cave, a barricade drops down behind you. The only exit is to the SE through many giants.
• One of the giants in the entry level drops a Ring of Skill.
• There is a force barrier If you don't have Dispel Barrier, you can gain access to the upper level via the secret passage in the west.
• Read the hidden spell book to get Return Life L3.
• Another hidden room contains one of the Giant Statues for the Fort Dranlon quest.
• There is a Blessed Cloak in the treasure room. Pick up the shield, it's a blessed large shield.
• There is also a Ceremonial dagger on the chiefs platform.

GIANT VILLAGE

• The fences are closed upon entering the village. Use the secret passage in the SW corner to enter the town.
• Kill the giant shamans in the NW to get to the altar with the giant statue, which is a quest item for the Fort Dranlon quest.
• The Giant Chief east of the temple area drops a Shielding Ring.

GIANT FORT

• On the eastern side of the entrance, among some stalagmites you find another pink ribbon.
• In the smithy there's a vampire.
• In the SW there's a demon and a giant statue which is a quest item for the Fort Dranlon quest.
• East of the demon, there's an evil altar. Use the ritual for 5xp.
• East of there, there's another altar that's well guarded. Grab the crystal after killing everyone, then use the ritual (5xp). The crystal gives the Inner Might ability.
• Go east and kill the chief and the shaman; one of them drops a Shield Ring. To the east is his trophy room, and east of there is a room with a guardian in it.
• North is a room with some treasure chests containing gold.
• North is a secret passage leading to the gremlin women. You need to dispel a force barrier in order to talk with them. Return to the gremlin grove near Silvar to complete this quest.
