Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Complete chronological guide from preparation to claiming the rewards.
Phase 1: Party Gathering & Sacrificial Items
- Assemble four players of Level 20 or higher, with exactly one Sorcerer, one Druid, one Paladin, and one Knight.
- Obtain the 4 sacrificial items: Knight brings Red Apple, Paladin brings Spellbook, Sorcerer brings Sword, Druid brings Crossbow.
- Bring at least 1 Crowbar for the door shortcut and ropes/shovels.
Phase 2: Navigating the Desert Dungeon
- Open the desert entrance hole using a shovel and rope down into the tunnels.
- Follow the winding paths carefully. Avoid the dangerous Fire Devil and Orc Berserker side-branches if your level is close to 20.
- If using the shortcut door, use your Crowbar directly on the door to pry it open.
Phase 3: The Four Altars Arrangement
- Enter the sacrificial cross chamber. Each vocation must position themselves and place their sacrifice on the adjacent altar basin:
- • PALADIN: Stand on the eastern switch. Drop a Spellbook onto the eastern basin.
- • SORCERER: Stand on the southern switch. Drop a Sword onto the southern basin.
- • DRUID: Stand on the northern switch. Drop a Crossbow onto the northern basin.
- • KNIGHT: Stand on the western switch. Drop a Red Apple onto the western basin.
- Notice: each vocation sacrifices the iconic tool of another class!
Phase 4: Pulling the Lever & Teleportation
- Once all 4 players are in place with their items correctly placed on the basins, pull the center lever.
- The ritual consumes the 4 sacrificial items and teleports all four heroes into the reward vault!
Phase 5: Looting the Treasury & Safe Exit
- Loot the two chests in the room:
- • First Chest: 100 Platinum Coins (10,000 gp).
- • Second Chest: Bag containing Ring of Healing, Protection Amulet, and Ankh.
- Step into the blue teleporter to return safely to the desert surface above.
