[edit] Ash Palace Walktrough

Description This palace is not so difficult but it is very hard for beginners. Enemies here damage you quickly, so as the palace warning says, be prepared! Any class is good, as long as they have a ranged weapon like the Thunder Wand found in the Sand Palace or the Book of Missle. Also this guide tells you how to go through the palace without using extra books and keys to unlock doors, that is a little too close to cheating... You will need standard dungeon-crawling equipment like a shield, or a Book of Protection.

Part I

Move quickly through the hallway. There are tiles that will crack and reveal molten lava if you stand on them too long. Kill the Cobols you see, preferably in their sleep. Ride the HotDog across the lava to the platform with the chest. In it you will find a torch, which you can light using the HotDog's breath. Pick up the lighted torch and cross the lava pit to platform where a Cobol is wielding a bow. Kill him and light the Brazier to open the gate. With the Thunder Wand, clear the Cobols with bows that block your way.

Part 2

This part is pretty straight-forward with some nifty treasure, like the Whip which the Cobols wield. To get through here use the torch to light the brazier in every room that you enter. You will come across 3 chests but one is trapped. These items are a Potion, a Book of Sword Wall, and a Bloody Hatchet. The items that are:

 Cobols  : Hachets, Cinquedeas, and Whips
 Lumpkins: Claws
 Warlock : a Book of the Unseen and the Book of Missle

After the room with the two HotDogs you will come across a locked door which leads to the palace's boss....

Part 3

Ignore the locked door and moving along until you see a room to the right that gives you a map. Go back to the hallway and you will see two paths. The path to the right has Cobols, and the one to the left has Lumpkins. Kill the Lumpkins then kill the sleeping Cobols. On the Cobol side there are two chests, one with a false bottom. In the chests you will get a Scroll of Rebirth, and 3 Life Potions. On the Lumpkin side there is another path with a Lava pit. I suggest you go back and use that Scroll on a dead HotDog to cross it.

When you cross the lava you will see another Cobol wielding a bow. Kill him and move forward with caution. There are 3 Warlocks with different spells. One has The Book of Shock, another has the Book of Fire Ball, and the last one wields a sword and has the Book of Enchant. Also, beware of the Fright here, it can ginx you. After you hack away the Warlocks, open the chest with a golden key and a torch. Move upward and place the torch under the brazier you see.

Part 4

After putting the brazier under the torch a door will open, leading you to a hallway with raining fireballs and some Frights. After avoiding all that mess, this you will make it to the Treasure Room that has a Gonne, an Elf Skin, and a rare Tundra Bunny Pet. Go though the back door and you will return to the first lava pit. From here take that key and go that that locked door we passed before.

Final Open the locked door and you will come across the boss.

The Watcher

Difficulty:Moderate

This boss is easy, just hack away! But when he gets a lock on you, it is hard to survive. He chases you and aims all of his attacks on you only instead of moving in circles. Other than that, he is easy.

One last thing: if you want to pick up some items, do not walk into the Spork room yet. It will lock you in unless you drop a sword between the doors to keep them open. After you pick up the Spork, the level is clear.

Hint 1 There is a secret treasure room, hard to get there, but it's worth it. You will get several useful items and a pet. The Tundra bunny.

Hint 2 If you can't open the door to the treasure room, set a lighted torch under a unlit brazier in the last room. Now you can enter the room as long the torch is lit and stays there.
