[Gainja]

Thanks for the guide :)

[DJ Raptor]

Thank you!

[PunkSteve]

Great guide.
Thanks for the help, just got 100% Achievements.

[ic451uk]

Thanks for this guide.

I think it's better to cross the river at 25 instead of 24. Need the garlic buds from Yaztromo to deal with the vampire bats 29 ('Apotropaic Saviour' achievement), and can still get from there to 35 for the silver key, but it avoids fishman 24 and werewolf 28.

[Dave Zed]

Great guide!
(Your map looks just like the one I drew about 30 years ago lol. Might even still have it.)

[euroboardgames]

Excellent guide. However, to achieve Art Lover, one must enter the alcove on the way to the Demon Lord. This is a spot not really specified separately on the map.

[Erdbeertoertchen]

thanks for the info Mary ^^ - added it to the walkthrough

[Kildia Zesified [Sachiko] HYPE!]

I have just gotten hit by the arrow. You lose 3 stamina from it.

[Rrhany]

I receive Deagle Deagle Deagle for gremlin shaman in the well.
