Stage 1, THE ORC FOREST

STAGE 1
ORC KING
* Can be easily defeated with 2 magical crystals.
The stage begins with the weakest enemy you'll encounter: the orcs. Halfway through, a werewolf crossbowman appears. You may attack his bolts for 800 EXP each before killing him. At the end of the stage is the Orc King, armed with 2 extendable morning stars. Watch his shadow and as long as you attack him directly in front, his morning stars will never touch you. Defeating the Orc King nets you a gold chest with a Lv2 item.

Stage 2, TREASURE IN AN OLD CASTLE

STAGE 2
MINOTAUR
* Can be easily defeated with 2 magical crystals.
The only enemies in this stage are a few orcs. Watch out that one of the vessels has an ice trap. Use the Magic Crystal should it appear, then face the boss: an axe-wielding Minotaur. His main attacks are creating a wave of air blades with his axe, or charging to gore you like a bull. Attack him slightly above or below his horizontal plane to land free hits without being damaged. When he is down to 4 life bars, the floor collapses and the battle resumes. Finish him for a Lv2 weapon.

Stage 3, BATTLE ON A MOUNTAIN PEAK

STAGE 3 FLAME WYVERN
WYVERN
The mountainslope is filled with chests of goodies and more orcs, with the appearance of the red orc. Shortly ahead, you must face the Wyvern. He attacks by dive-lunging its talons while flying or grabbing you by the head to toss you. When in the ground, he spits homing fireballs or a stream of 3 fireballs. It will alternate between land and ground fighting for each 2 life bars it loses. When killed, it will only leave behind gold bags.

Stage 4, CAVE OF HYDRA

STAGE 4
The Hydra's Cave is full of orcs and werewolves and the occasional green blobs. These slimes lodge on a character and sap his life till he dies. Wiggle the lever to break free or attack the pest blob. Be sure to pick up the Lv3 item from a chest. At the end of the stage is a huge 3-headed serpent. The blue head spits freezing breath, the red blows out fire balls, while the green discharges acid puddles that drains the player of his life upon contact. Knocking 3 life bars usually decapitates a head, so focusing on 1 head at time makes this boss more manageable.

Stage 5, TO THE NORDE ISLE

STAGE 5
This short stage occurs on a ship's starboard. Take the Lv3 weapon as harpies drop skeletons you must battle. These skeletons are hardy warriors who know how to block attacks and may take a few hits to destroy. After killing several skeletons and the ship reaches the mountainsides, sahuagins invade the ship. Be sure that whenever you knock them down, block their diving trident or knock them out of the air with a ranged attack. After decimating the mermen, the stage ends.

Stage 10, UNDERPASS

STAGE 10

Hack them from a distance whenever possible, their choke hold is as damaging as the blobs' life leeching. At the farthest area of the stage is a circle of 8 wraiths. Anyone of them is a viable target, as long as you stay in their circle. Contact with a wraith causes damage and be sure to knock off the sickles they throw to you. Continue hacking them until they are down to 1 life bar, where they'll turn red and spin more rapidly. A few more attacks destroy them and award you gems and a gold chest with a Lv6 weapon!
