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.
  • Dogi is a Thief who can join you in the Swamp Cave.
  • 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.
  • Radatome Castle contains several useful items and minibosses before the final confrontation.
  • Be mindful of the damage floors on the fourth basement level.
