>1.7: Leaving Old Man McCall
"What's wrong with Jack?" Chad wonders. Whatever it was, it's just Chad and B.E.O. now.
>Leaving Old Man McCall
[A] Wandering Healer.
[B] You can now enter the cave to the left, but no good will come of it. It's much too dark. And a powerful Lich awaits. That's a fight you don't need.
[C] Up the stairs to the right is a ledge. You can walk around, over, and across.
[D] There is a (very) secret entrance to the Lich's Cave. If you use this entrance, you can get to the chest that it's guarding without picking a fight. The reward is only a 1000 Sapphire Ring, which protects against Cold. Not a big deal if you miss it.
[E] You can jump across each of these breaks in the wall by pressing the action button.
[F] To get out of here, you first need to walk up the stairs toward an entrance. Before you can make it through, an earthquake knocks some boulders loose and blocks your path.
[G] Once the earthquake hits, go back out the way you came. You hear some voices. (Time to pick a fight.)
[H] Scattered throughout the map are chests full of 7 Lesser Explosion Potions. You'll need as many as you can carry for the upcoming fight. There are a total of 28.
[I] A very powerful artifact. The Bone Crusher. Only B.E.O. is strong enough to weild it.
Tip: Night Sight isn't just for dungeons where it's pitch black. Drink a Night Sight Potion. It will make it much easier to see.
Strategy: There's no real need to fight any of them. You can escape by running from each fight on your first try. But the Rotting Corpses give a lot of gold and you have a 20% chance of getting an Iron Scythe (Hit Lightning) from them. Watch out for their Poisonous Touch. If you get poisoned, use one of the Greater Cure Potions you got inside the house.
Tip: Some of the encounters are with Rotting Corpses and Zombies. Others are just with a single Rotting Corpse. Pick your fights and wait until the Rotting Corpse is alone. He's die to a single Greater Explosion Potion.
[A] If you come in this entrance, turn back.
[B] This is where you enter and exit from the secret entrance.
[C] The 1000 Sapphire Ring. Not that useful, but you can sell it for a good amount of gold.
