AntMag.NET

Walkthrough

1
Enter the Caverns and break the pot on the top left for a Zircon. Avoid Spear Guards and locate the save room on the right.
2
Continue down, ignoring the left path. After the last set of stairs, you'll see a torch on the far left wall. Drop down from here.
3
To reach the room on the right at the top of the drop-off, transform into a bat or use gravity boots. The two torches on the left contain bags of money.
4
Transform into a bat and fly down the drop-off to the room on the right. This room contains candles.
5
In the next room, break the pot to find a Claymore. Descend to the next room on the right.
6
This room has meal tickets in pots. The bottom right pot contains a Moonstone, which boosts stats.
7
Proceed to the dead-end rooms on the left and right. The left is a save room, and the right is the boss fight against the Succubus.
8
Boss Fight: Succubus
- The Succubus stays at the top of the screen. Avoid her impaling attack by staying underneath her.
9
When she duplicates herself, use the knife sub-weapon to hit multiple copies simultaneously.
10
Chip away at her health with spells, sub-weapons, and normal attacks. She is an easy enemy.
11
After defeating the Succubus, you will exit automatically and find a Gold Ring on the ground. This ring is needed for better endings.
12
Return to the large drop-off and drop all the way down. A save room is at the bottom.
13
To the left of the save room is an opening. Take this path, dropping down and entering the next room on the right.
14
This room contains the mini-boss Scylla Wyrm. Hit it a few times, and it will retreat, opening the next room.
15
In the next room, water will rise. Use the columns as platforms to quickly reach the opening on the right before the water damages you.
16
On the higher ground, a pot on the right contains a Pot Roast. Move to the left side of the room to fight the Scylla boss.
17
Boss Fight: Scylla
- The Scylla has a three-headed dog with tentacles and a female body. Two columns in front allow you to reach her.
18
First, destroy the three tentacles (Wyrms).
19
The Scylla will summon water skulls; destroy them with sub-weapons or normal attacks.
20
Get close to the main body to attack, but retreat when fragments fall from the ceiling. The best position is between the first column and the ground.
21
Keep attacking the Scylla's main body after destroying the Wyrms.
22
After defeating Scylla, you will receive a Life Max Up. In the next room, you can find a Crystal Cloak.
23
Return to the drop-off. After dropping down, go right to find the Scimitar sword in a dead end (an inferior weapon).
24
Head back left, drop down, and grab the potion below the cliff.

Tips

The bat transformation is crucial for navigating the Cavern area, especially for reaching the room with the Moonstone and for descending the large drop-off.
The knife sub-weapon is effective against the Succubus's duplicate attack.
Prioritize destroying the Wyrms when fighting Scylla to make the main body accessible.
Be mindful of falling ceiling fragments when attacking Scylla's main body.
