To the west of point of entry there are stairs leading up to the
MYSTIC WOODS. To avoid any confusion the means of returning to the Magan
Underworld from the Mystic Woods is to use the ability CLIMB. I didn't
realize this when I was first playing the game and it caused me to restore
the game to an earlier point. You can avoid my difficulty. 3 squares south
and 3 squares west of the entrance to the Mystic Woods is the first of two
treasures that can be found in the Magan Underworld.
TREASURE 1: Rusty Axe a great axe!
Speed Wand
Bomb <3 quantity>
Dragon Stones <10 quantity>
To the east of point of entry are stairs leading to Tar's Ruins
Underground. This is a relatively small area map that wraps upon itself.
There are secret passages that reveal treasures which I will detail later.
To re-enter the Magan Underworld, you must again use the ability CLIMB.
To the south our point of entry to the Magan Underworld is an area
with many fires. Each of these fires causes damage to your characters.
There is in the north area of the fires the 2nd treasure to be found in the
Magan Underworld.
TREASURE 2: Slicer a wonderful weapon!
Dragon Stones <10 quantity>
Also in the fire are is the entrance to the Dwarf Clan Hall. Early in
the game you do not need to access this area.
To the east of the fire area is a large pit and an path leading south.
This path forms a cross shaped area with an entrance to SALVATION. Along
the path you will encounter fairies that will ask if you are willing to
sacrifice a life to continue. Replying "yes" will reduce you party to
minimun life force. While there is reason to use this path near the end of
the game, you need not explore it before hand.

easily avoided by making use of EZ Paperwork in the Lansk Undercity. There
is one treasure to be found on the west side of the city.
TREASURE 1:

Masters Office the Mog the Slave Owner has left his estate, which is to be

impossible. They can and should be avoided until later in the game.
Paragraph notes for Lansk: 64, 35
LANSK UNDERCITY:
Accessable to the Magan Underworld, this place was very useful to me.

get the gem you will need to use an anhk which can be purchase in Mud Toad.

of Lansk. They go up, but they do NOT come back down. Go this way only if

MUD TOAD:
Located on Quag, this city is sinking into the swampy lands upon which
it was built. You will probably be making many visits to this city during
the course of your game. Almost in the center of the city is a broken
statue the parts of which you will find scattered through out other areas
in the game. You will need to bring each part back to this location and
"use item" to restore the statue. Doing so will reveal a latch that will
allow you access to Lanac'toor's Lab . Of other
interest in this city is the temple in the northwest corner of the city.
Talking to the priests there will indicate that you need to seal up the
source of the water ruining the city . After doing so, the priests will give you a pair of Golden Boots
which will allow you to access areas that you could not previously . Also of importance here is the
shop in the southeastern portion of town:
Lantern 10g

Located on the west side of the Isle of the Sun near Phoebus. From the
Mystic Forest you can gain entry to the Magan Underworld, Kings Island,
Quag, as well as the Isle of the Sun. There are a number of interesting and
important things to find and do here. In the northwest corner there is a
statue of Enkidu at the foot of which you will find a Beast Horn which is
powered with a summoning spell. In the northeast side you will locate
Mushrooms that will be needed in the Necropolis later On the east side is a shrine on an
island. You can try to reach the shrine by swimming but that will result in
encounters with some very nasty water creatures. An easier way to access
this island is to use the Golden Boots which you can get in Mud Toad . On the island you can get the Totem of Enkidu
which you will need to cross Scorpion Bridge. To get the Totem, you must
use one of your weapons. I used a Ruby Dagger and cannot say if using any
weapon will work. In the southwest corner there is a treasure<1>. In the
south area of Mystic Forest there is a marker for Master Zaton. Use the
Soul Bowl that you can get after successfully doing the Magic College in
this location and you will get treasure 2.

as being covered with webs. There is an encounter with a giant spider for
every square in this room but the reward at the end is a teleporter that
will get you off of the island. In the center of the city is a large
building. On the south side there is a secret passage leading inside.
Following this passage will lead you to an encounter with the god Nergal.

PHOEBAN DUNGEON:
Accessable only by confronting and loosing to Mystalvision in the
north section of Phoebus. This is one of those areas where you need to be
prepared to do everything at one time or not at all. There is no way back
here once you exit. You will find yourself in a locked cell that your thief
character will not be able to unlock. Patience <10 days worth> will result
in Berengaria leaving the door unlocked so that you can begin your escape.
Exploration of the other prison cells will reveal that the "druid is being
tortured". At the location where you see message 102, use the abilility
Hiding to get past the guard. You may go either north or south once past
the guard. The southern route is through a secret door. Follow the passage
until you see the message that you hear voices to the north. Go north
through another secret passage. One square further to the west of where you
hear the voices is a cave in that you can pass with the climb ability and
will lead you to stairs back to Phoebus. Save these for last. Go north and
explore the rest of the Phoeban Dungeon. In the northeast section you will
find a hunchback trying to feed a prisoner to a dragon. West of that you
will find torture chambers and the druid. Use bandage on the druid and he
will tell you that the pass word is "HALIFAX". To the north of the druid is
another encounter with Mystalvision. Its a toughy and Mystal will slip
through your fingers but leave you the following treasure:

Paragraph notes for Phoeban Dungeon: 101, 102, 104, 106
PHOEBUS:
This city on the west side of the Isle of the Sun is not easy for
beginning characters. You may be able to get through some of the encounters
to access treasure but there is an big encounter in this city that should not be attempted until later in the
game.
There is a tavern in the northwest portion of the city where you can
find the volunteer Valar. Valar has knowledge of both Low and Sun magic.
He's a good addition to your party, but keep him at the back as he is
rather weak and vulnerable to attack.
On the southeast side of town there are parade grounds. Within the
parade grounds is a building. Entering here will get you drafted into the
army and removed to the siege camp south of the city of Byzanople. I
recommend avoiding this automatic draft until later in the game.
There are 3 treasures to be found in Phoebus, two on the west side and
one on the north.
TREASURE 1: Poog's Vortex
Sun Stroke
Death Curse
Create Wall
Mithra's Bless

PILGRIM DOCK:
Located on Nisir, this dock is accessable from the Old Dock on King's
Island providing you are wearing Pilgrim's Garb .
Passing through the door in the south of this small area results in a nasty
encounter which is beyond the ability of beginning characters. Once
successfully defeating these monsters, you will find a prisoner and a
secret passage that leads you to the mountain Salvation.

difficulty. Proceed with caution. Northest, but not connected to Quag is
Necropolis. A bridge also leads to the area of Dilmun that includes Lansk.

RUINS:
See TAR'S RUINS
RUSTIC:
Accessable with the ship from Smuggler's Cove. This Island to the west
of King's Island contains the Game Preserve, Scorpion Bridge and a Strange
Building .
SALT MINES:
If you sell yourself into slavery in Purgatory you end up here. There
is nothing of great importance to be found here. You can skip this area
entirely with no ill effect upon your game. What you can gain here is
experience and eventually freedom. I recommend using the Magan Underworld.
When you are brought here all your equipment is removed and you are in
chains. Wandering around this area you will find a cup, a pool , a handle, a treasure of rocks and Dragon Stones <9 quantity>. You
will find a man to which you give the water. He will give you his shoes.
Using the laces
