Rimuldar is where the second key, the Magic Key, is being made, by an old man called the Warlock of Doorlocks. He’ll finish it if you help him, and that sends you south to the Cave of the Dwarves. The cave is a tangle of short B1 and B2 sections joined by many staircases; follow the order below and you’ll clear it in one pass. Its monsters (Skeleton Soldiers, Lump Wizards, Scarewolves, Antguzzlers, Madusas and Iron Scorpions) hit harder than before; around level 20 is comfortable.

Rimuldar

  1. Some scenes with the soldiers play as you arrive, and you wake up in the inn. The pouch on the wall by the door has 228 gold.
  2. The church is to the left; save on its upper floor. Then go round and enter the same building from the west side by the southern path: the barrels to the north have a Seed of Luck. Upstairs, a prisoner mentions a forest far to the south that nobody leaves.
  3. Shops:
    1. The item shop has nothing special.
    2. The equipment shop next door sells the Staff of Sentencing (stronger than the Iron Axe, and usable from the item menu to hit a group) and Magic Armour at 7,700 gold.
    3. A barrel on the right, on the shop’s south side, has a Tangleweb.
  1. The northernmost house has a Pure Water in the pot left of its entrance. Go in by the right door: the drawer by the bed has a Mini Medal.
  2. South of the little pond to the south-west there’s a stable. A barrel by the hay hides a Bamboo Pole.
  3. The marker is on the north-west house, which you can’t reach directly:
    1. Cross back over the eastern bridge, but stay in town and circle round. A barrel in the south-west corner has 165 gold on the way.
    2. Cross the north-west bridge. The pots there hold a Magic Water and a Seed of Wisdom.
  1. Inside is the Warlock of Doorlocks. He’s surprised you have the Thief’s Key and admits his Magic Key isn’t finished. He’ll help if you find a dwarf in the cavern south of town.
  1. After the scene you’re outside. Go back in and open his chest for the Magic Barrier Scroll.

South to the cave

  1. The marker is in the middle of the desert to the south.
  2. Walk south until the mountains on your left end. At the tip of the forest east of that point is a sparkle with two Antidotal Herbs, a Medicinal Herb and a Seed of Wisdom.
  3. From the same mountain tip, go west and follow the cliff edge north-west to a sparkle in the trees: two Unsealants and a Seed of Magic.
  4. Then head south into the Cave of the Dwarves.

Cave of the Dwarves: the west side

  1. Go left from the entrance and open the red door to the north (the passage further left is a dead end). The pots inside have a Medicinal Herb and a Chimaera Wing. Take the stairs down.
  2. On B2, go south, then west at the fork. The bottom-left nook has three barrels: an Oaken Club, the Ten Ton Toupee and a Fur Vest. North is a dead end.
  3. Back at the fork, go east. Ignore the dead end to the right and take the stairs up.
  4. You’re in another part of B1. Go right past a dwarf sitting at a table, then north to the end for a chest with the Ice Shield.
  5. That’s everything on this side. Cast Evac to leave and walk straight back in.

Cave of the Dwarves: the east side

  1. This time go right from the entrance. The path turns north to some stairs down.
  2. On B2 you land at a fork:
    1. North, and north again, to another dwarf. The pots beside him have Twitching Powder and a Dieamend.
    2. From the stairs, follow the path south-east to the end. The chest there is a monster; it hits hard, so be ready to alternate attacking and healing.
  3. Back on B1, ignore the dead end to the north. Head right through the red door, have a word with the dwarf there, grab the Magic Water from the barrel north of him and take the right-hand stairs down.
  4. This B2 room has two exits. Take the stairs to the north: they lead up to a chest with the Miracle Slash Scroll. Back down.
  5. Go south and then west. Pots near the stairs have a Strong Medicine; climb up.
  6. This part of B1 has a lot in it:
    1. Walk north past the dwarf (not down the stairs) to two pots at the top: a Seed of Defence and 76 gold.
    2. Head south down the narrow path beside the underground lake. At its southern tip, examine the ground for a Ruby Wristband.
  7. Two staircases lead down from here. The northern one first: on B2, the bottom-right corner has a chest with the Undead Undoer Scroll.
  8. Climb back up and take the western staircase. On that part of B2, the tunnel to the south ends at a chest with a Mini Medal.
  9. Go north and up. That bit of B1 is empty; go east and down again.
  10. You’re back near the Undead Undoer chest. Head north-east past another dwarf and take the stairs down into the Dwarves’ town.

The Dwarves’ town

  1. Go north and turn left where the floor becomes wooden. The pots by the little pool have a Seed of Stamina and a Hextract.
  2. Further north is a well. Jump in and walk to the far north-east corner for the Wellspring Crystal. Keep it: the Faeries will want it.
  1. Back up, go to the east side and north to two doors. The blue one waits for the Magic Key. In the left room, the small dresser has Oomph Powder and the large one an Iron Lance.
  2. Talk to the dwarf in bed. He has the same illness as the soldiers’ captain in Rimuldar, and only the Faeries know the cure. The marker moves to the west side of the map, near Craggy Cave.
  3. Cast Evac to leave.
