- Well I wandered around "The Dungeon" for a little while yesterday so what
- follows are a few tips. Stop reading if you don't want any.
- Sequence should go something like this: Trade a piece of clothing to the
- Clothes Horse for the Mirrored Shield on level #2 I believe. It's usefull
- for 2 encounters. If you get the Iron Palm Salve on level III, it's helpfull
- but not required. Use it before you go to the Gargoyle 'cause he'll teleport
- you to the Basilisk when you answer his questions right. Answers to the
- questions in order are SHIPWRECK, ORACLE, BLOODSTONE, SHINGOR. (You have
- taken the reforged ring & tossed it in the Oracle by now right?) If you use
- the Mirrored shield & bare hand you should be able to defeat the Basilisk. I
- took him on after casting dexterity, shadowmeld, & speed W/O the shield &
- lucked out [Temporial F., wack, Temporial F., wack, ...] You get the
- Bloodstone after winning the battle. You also have access to the stamina
- fountain in the SE corner of that level. You're supposed to give the
- Bloodstone to the Dragon next door to the Gargoyle, but I carried it around
- for a while since it helps restore hit points. If you chose to fight the
- Dragon, be ready for a major fight. I think he(she?) has 800-900 HPs. I
- managed to win one by having 2 or 3 gold horns, a dozen crystals, wands, &
- a fully charged guild ring, but I used EVERYTHING up & only had 20 or 30 HPs
- left myself. You get so much loot after the battle you can't carry it all, so
- dump everything in your guild locker before you take him on, what's left over
- won't be there when you return. You should have the PAC card by now if you've
- been following the hints in the game, so the only thing left to do is equip
- the Mirrored Shield & go down to the 4th level to met your destiny.
