Tips
- Fannu is a fighter who can join your party near the start of Alefgard.
- Izrag is a Sage with healing and attack magic, found in a shrine.

- The Dragon in the Swamp Cave is a challenging optional encounter that yields significant experience, gold, and food.
- Consider strengthening your monsters via tenshin (fusion) before facing the final boss, especially if you are having difficulty. A pair of S-Rank monsters and an A-Rank monster were sufficient for the author with caution.

- Be mindful of the damage floors on the fourth basement level.
