Instructions



Solutions - Complete
During character creation, make sure you have at least 7 luck. Bog Bodys in the swamp will only appear with luck >= 7. (You can also increase your luck after successfully winning fights.)
Each location must be unlocked with a specific action.

- Enter the pub. (Optionally fight the bad guy.)
- Buy a round. A merchant talks to you. This unlocks the troll.
- Go and defeat the troll (blue bridge east of the pub).
- Enter the shop. You receive 10 gold for defeating the troll. Sell your loot, make sure you have at least 20 gold.
- Enter the pub and buy two more rounds, then talk to the bartender. This unlocks the goblin cave.
- Enter the goblin cave (NE from the troll bridge).
- Explore the cave. Find and kill the Broodmother. You receive a bracelet.
- Enter the shop, choose to sell loot and give the bracelet to the maiden. This unlocks the graves in the cemetery and her father's hut.
- Enter the hut. The maiden's father gives you a quest, this unlocks the boar.
- Go south to the slightly larger than normal tree to find tracks, go east to the clearing and kill the boar.
- Return to the hut. The father tells you to kill the zombies to weaken the witch, kill the bog bodys to open the castle, and gives you an amulet.
- Go to the cemetery and fight 3 zombies. Give them burials. Peace returns to the cemetery.
- Go to the swamp and fight 3 bog bodys. This unlocks the castle.
- Enter the castle. (Up, left, up.)
- Fight and kill the witch, you won!
