Alternate/Secret Stairs Level 3

[Caine]

there is a secret where you go down from dungeon 3 in level 4 with those slimey bastards, those are toooo hard atm for my party can i come back later? cause at the beginning of the normal level 4 way i cannot get back cause of a gate.

[thrive]

you can always come back later

[Dr.Disaster]

Once you solved level 4 you are able to come back anytime you want so no need to worry.

It's true that the Slime dungeon you find past those stair is quite a spike in difficulty. Yet it's intentional considering the reward you can fnd there. Also you'll meet those monsters again later on a regular basis when your party is usually able to handle them.

I have been going into the slime maze, pulling one of them and killing them, then going back to the save crystal to recharge my health and energy. Then I go back for the next one ... so tedious :D

They are kind of hard. I came back to slime level after getting few levels more.
