Southeast Alefgard
Exit the Swamp Cave and you're in southeast Alefgard. Rimuldar is south. Get there fast — don't explore yet. The enemies here are brutal, and you need keys before anything else matters.
Enemies
North of Rimuldar: Magidrakees, Scorpions, Skeletons, Metal Scorpions, Wolves, and Warlocks. Warlocks cast both Sleep and Hurt. If they put you to sleep, you're helpless until you wake up — could take several turns of free hits. Kill Warlocks first or use Stopspell.
South of Rimuldar: Wolflords, Wraiths, Wyverns, and Goldmen. Much stronger. Don't go south until you have Full Plate and a Broad Sword at minimum. Goldmen drop 200G+ per kill — worth farming once you're ready.
Rimuldar
| Item | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Hand Axe | 560G | You should have this by now. |
| Broad Sword | 1,500G | +20 Attack. Big upgrade. |
| Half Plate | 1,000G | Same as other towns. |
| Full Plate | 3,000G | +24 Defense. Priority buy. |
| Magic Armor | 7,700G | +24 Defense, heals 1 HP/4 steps, resists Hurt. |
| Magic Key | 53G | Cheapest price in the game. Stock up. |
The inn costs 55G. Expensive, but you're far from Tantegel now. Use Return (level 13) to teleport back for free healing if you have it.
NPC Hints
Rimuldar's NPCs drop important information. One mentions the Stones of Sunlight are hidden in Castle Tantegel. Another talks about a rainbow bridge created by mixing sunlight and rain. A man on a small island discusses the legend of Erdrick. Behind locked doors in the inn, someone confirms the Fairy Flute location — 4 tiles south of the bath in Kol.
Wings of Wyvern are behind two locked doors in the inn. They teleport you to Tantegel. Not worth 2 keys when you'll learn Return soon anyway. Skip them.
Southern Temple
South of Rimuldar, past Wolflords and Wyverns, sits a temple. The old man inside wants proof you're Erdrick's descendant. Talking won't convince him — you need Erdrick's Token. You don't have it yet. Mark this location and come back later.
The enemies around the temple are level 15+ territory. Don't attempt this until you have Magic Armor and the Flame Sword.
The Channel
West of Rimuldar you'll see Charlock Castle on an island, separated by a tiny channel of water. You can't cross. The rainbow bridge legend is real — you'll need the Staff of Rain and Stones of Sunlight combined to create a Rainbow Drop. That's later. For now, focus on keys and grinding.
