dewdrops inside treasure chests. Before leaving the monastery visit the
kitchen to grab some bread and honey bread to help you on your dangerous
journey.

battle with the boss.


BOSS: SOLVARING
Solvaring is a huge tribal man and has considerable firepower. He has
two main attacks a jumping floor smash when you are close and a fire
blast when you are further away. The best tactics to employ are to keep
as far away from Solvering as possible and keep using your Wind Cutter
spell to cause as much damage as possible. Now as Solvering fires his
blast run to the left or right of your personal area and you may be able
to minimise the amount of damage you take. Once you defeat the robber
you will be rewarded with the stolen Earth Orb, and can pilfer the
chests to find some honey bread and mint leaves.

Nepty is a mean woman and has about 900 Hp making her a very tough
opponent to beat. Her attacks are powerful and will cause quite a bit of
damage, so you will need to heal yourself several times during this
battle. Fire spells are quite effective when fairly close, or if you are
feeling courageous move in close and attack with your staff. When you

She fires a stream of air missiles when you are at a distance, and fires
short powerful shots from her finger if you get in close. The best way
to beat Shilf is to get in close and bash her repeatedly with your staff
whilst taking plenty of healing potions to cure yourself when you reach
critical levels. Once you have won this battle you can reach the tunnel
exit and some goodies in the next room.

Grab the healing Potion and a Silver Amulet from the chests and then

has around 1600 Hp and has two attacks to use against you. Fireballs are
launched from long range and large explosions are used if you're in

the balcony to find another long corridor. Keep moving up to the top of
the staircase and enter the room at the top to find Guilty waiting for
you.


BOSS: GUILTY
Guilty is a huge ugly ogrish man with about 1900 Hp. This is a really
tough battle and can only be won by using a lot of running and healing
or a lot of healing Potions and Spirit Lights. Your spells only do
limited damage on this cruel beast so it is advisable to get in close
and give him some stick. However, Guilty's close range attack is
extremely powerful and takes around 50 Hp of damage, so only the strong
will survive. Use level two healing whilst away from this monster, then
cast a level two Power Staff spell on yourself. Now dash in and attack
until the magic wears off or you run low on health.

Once you have defeated Guilty head through the door to the south and
follow the corridor to the top. Enter the door and search the room to
find a Healing Potion and a Heroes Drink, then exit through the door on
the far side. Climb the next set of stairs to the top, and then enter a
small door on the left to save your game. Open all the chests and

spirit. Leave the room and dash up the stairs to be re-united with your
father and find some more treasure. Head through the next door and climb
the stairs to meet with Beigis in the throne room.


BOSS: BEIGIS
Beigis is a monster, has about 2200 Hp and is lethal from any distance.
Your only option is to get in close and whack him with your staff and
then use lots of Healing Potions and Spirit Lights to survive. If Beigis
should miss with his attack, power up your staff and really show him
what you're made of.

Once the battle is over exit through the door and climb the stairs to
the top of the castle, where Shannon is waiting for you. She will give
you the Eletale Book and tell you how to open the gateway to get to
Mammon. Climb to the very top of the castle and step into the middle to
warp to the World of Mammon.


AREA 7: THE WORLD OF MAMMON
Enter the castle and climb the stairs onto the platform, then turn to
the right and enter the door at the end. Now follow the checked hallway
and enter the waiting room at the end, then leave the room again to find
yourself warped to another weird area. Make your way to the top of the
stairs and pass through the next door to appear in again another world.
Follow the path and enter the door to find another waiting room, travel
to the nest door and then walk down the stairs to find yourself in
another checked hallway. Again follow the hall to the end and enter the
room to find Epana waiting for you.

Save your game and rest for a while to regain your strength, then leave
the room to find yourself in a deserted town. The town is empty so don't
bother looking just head east and enter the large double doors. Follow
the muddy track to the next door then enter the centre of the stone
platform to speak with Shannon again. She will moan and groan a lot,
then warp you to another totally new area. Now climb the rocky path to
the top where you will find the demon Mammon.


BOSS: MAMMON
Mammon has been imprisoned here for some time and he actually seems
pleased to meet you. Then the horror sets in this huge demon is floating
in mid-air and you are unable to whack him until you climb the slope to
the very top. Mammon has around 2300 Hp and has three main attacks,
which he seems to use in a random order. The best way to beat this
creature is to attack with a powered staff and keep topping up your life
with spirit lights. Alternatively use your avalanche spell as much as
possible and try to dodge Mammon's return volley.

TIP: When Mammon fires three fireballs quickly run to the left or right
to dodge them, you can do this nearly every time.
