We find out what's going on with the volcano, but we end getting shot clear across the world and end up elsewhere.
All maps by Grizzly.
At one point, you'll be above the entrance to the Volcano itself.
Some of the paths here take you to the upper parts of the volcano maze, where you can fight Viper Commanders. Every time you kill one here, you'll get a Mud Pepper. If you want, head out of the maze, walk right back in, and the Viper Commander will re-spawn. Infinite Mud Peppers! Problems? trollface.jpg
Sewer Maze
When you enter the right passage at the north end of the Volcano Maze, you'll find a bunch of pipes with water running through them. That water has quite an undertow to it. You'll also see a Raptor pop out of the gourd in the room and go down the right pipe.
Your first task here is to find your way to the giant hole in the maze with a flickering light in the wall. This is no easy task, as you'll be using your Jaguar Ring to run for dear life if you make a wrong turn in there. When you find it, step on the pressure plate on the floor and you'll open the door in the room next to it.
If you go through the other holes, you'll be able to find gourds and even a few Raptors to fight.
When you make your way to the switch room, you'll meet a Viper. When you attack him, you'll find out he's actually on your side. He'll talk to you and allow to save your game. Also, notice how one of the sentences he says has a typo in the form of a missing word. How I failed to notice as a kid, I have no idea.
Now that you're done looking for the switch, go through the right pipe when you reach the entrance of the sewer maze again and go directly north. You'll fall into a pit and right into the room with the door you just opened.
Valve Room
There's a huge room with a zillion pipes for a floor. You know what that means. This is boss country.
Go all the way across and you'll meet Fire Eyes. The only thing is, she's got a red dress on instead of a pink one, and she's not wearing her trademark spectacles. Turns out this is a faker. Fire Eyes will show up and the two of them will have a rather interesting conversation. She'll then force Fire Eyes away from you. You'll then face her "pet rock," Magmar.
Boss: Magmar
This guy is pretty evil. First rule of thumb: set the dog to Attack Level 3 in the Action Menu and keep your HP for both characters high. If you've leveled up Heal a few times, this won't be as tough...but it'll still be a tad long.
When he spits directly at you, you won't be able to avoid it. Use the Defend spell to minimize the damage caused by it (I hope you leveled that up, too). When he spits straight up in the air, stay on the move and it'll miss. He'll also curl into a ball and roll around, stay away from him when he does. When he jumps into the lava, he recovers a little bit of his HP.
When you beat him, you'll receive 900 talons.
Fire Eyes's evil twin will come back and turn the crank on the machine in the volcano, causing the volcano to erupt. You'll land on a makeshift boat going onto a waterfall, and you'll both go down it, being sent...somewhere...
Crustacea
The Boy will wake up on a beach somewhere. There is no sign of The Dog, leaving you to look around.
The first thing you should do is go to one of the shops and exchange all your Talons for Jewels, since you're in a new world and your money's no good here. The exchange rate is 2 Talons for 1 Jewel.
By talking to the people here, you'll learn that there is a treasure on the other side of the river and that the leader of the city on the other side of the desert has offered a reward for anyone who can find it. Unfortunately, the water levels have risen, and therefore nobody can get to the treasure yet.
Next, go buy the Bronze Armor, since you're going to need it. You can also get the Spiky Collar in advance here, but you're definitely not going to be able to equip it on The Dog just yet. Save your game at the Inn.
One of the shops has a crate of boxes to the left, and if you walk into it, you'll meet some guy in a robe selling an Amulet of Annihilation. You won't be able to afford at this point, though, since you don't have 10,000 Jewels yet.
The path to the left leads to nowhere. Skip it for now, since you won't be able to do much here. Go to the right when you're done in this town.
