The Adventures of Alundra/Magyscar



Head North for Magyscar Cave.

After listening to the villagers, use the flail to break the back wall and head in. Destroy the mudman and grab the torch near the spike pit. Burn the vines in the Northern part of the room. Destroy the mudman and use the platforms in the spike pit to position Alundra to shoot the switch with the bow. A ladder will drop leading to a teleport pad. Once inside just skip the enemies and proceed through the lower East door. Continue through this room for two treasure chests containing 30 gilder and a strength tonic. Head back to the teleport pad.

Drop down, grab the torch, and use the moving platform to get to burn the vines on the other side of the room. Head through the door to destroy a mudman. Notice the platform looks like a direction pad, stand on the back edge while moving and move up or down to avoid the moving spike balls. Climb the ladder and spikes will pop up from the ground, walk past the mudman and through the door.

Destroy the mudman and stack the barrels to grab the torch to burn the vines near the ladder. Now alternate throwing the barrels up the cliff and restack to press the button which raises the spike balls. Swiftly walk under the spike balls to acquire the treasure chest containing the key. Leave this area and head back to the spike pit to unlock the door on the East side of the room.

Tip: There is a treasure chest here but it is easier to come back with the fire rod

In this room quickly destroy the three corpses with bombs as they keep creating mudmen. Once complete a lever will drop from the ceiling. Hit the lever to change the height of the platforms and get to the door in the upper East side of the room. Use the moving platform to get to the door across the chasm. Inside grab a torch, watch out for the dripping water as it puts the torch out, and burn the vines near the treasure chest containing the key on the West side of the room. Use the South door to find a treasure chest containing a medicinal herb surrounded by counter clockwise rotating spike balls. Use the door to the East and encounter a new enemy.

Two corpses will spawn Croaches that move fast and shoot needles. Move past them and unlock the door. This room contains three medicinal herbs and a treasure chest containing another key. Head back to the chasm with the two moving platforms and a barrel. Grab the barrel and use the right moving platform. Toss the barrel at the cliff and jump up. Use the switch to have torches drop from the ceiling. Burn the vines blocking the door and head in. Take out the mudmen then use the three torches to burn the vines on the three covered platforms. Traverse these to open the treasure chest containing a life vessel.

Leave the room and hit the switch, then quickly run under the spike balls. Take out all the mudmen to drop the platforms and continue through the North door. Allow the turtles to burn away the vines protecting the switch then take out the turtles to drop the platform. Hit the switch to have a jar drop from the ceiling, proceed to the elevator.

Take out the mudmen in the way and use the torch to burn the vine on the left first. Use the other torch to burn the vine on the right and use that teleport pad to get the treasure chest containing 30 gilder. Now use the teleport pad, and jump down moving East to use the direction pad. Go all the way left and then straight down for the treasure chest containing the key. Use the teleport pad in the treasure chest room again to get back to the high platform. Jump across to the jar area use the key to unlock the door. Take out the mudmen and corpse then drop down the hole on the East side. Drop a bomb at the switch, grab the torch, and jump on the elevator. Burn the vines blocking the treasure chest containing a magic elixyr. Head back down the hole and through the South door.

The teleport pad is there for if a mistake is made later. Use the torches to burn the vines and continue South. In this room hit the switch, catch the torch in midair then jump run across the large descending platform to the cliff. Use the torch to burn both vines near the cliff. Exit the door and come back to find the room reset. Use the South door to continue. Destroy the corpses and Croaches, then using the direction pad, bomb the bottom left rock and jump down the hole. Walk East and use the teleport pad. Alundra is back in the main room with a switch to activate and blow open a hole in the lower left wall.

Alundra now stands in a room with four switches, head up the stairs and through the East door. This room has three treasure chests containing a magic elixyr, wonder essence, and strength elixyr. Leave the room and head West through the door. There are four teleport pads and all will lead to a room that needs to have four pillars ignited to receive a message, BE SURE TO READ THEM ALL; If you don’t the handle wont turn. They are as follows starting from the lower left and working counter clockwise:

The eyes of the pious ones gaze upward in reverence

The light of salvation rises from the east to free from darkness those waiting in expectation...

The finger of accusation points to the left...

The modest one gazes downward in the face of evil

With these clues Alundra can now determine the settings for the four switches in the room.

Head up the elevator. Use the next one and skip the first door. In the second door, move quickly to grab the barrel and throw to the platform. Grab the torch and burn the vines, then position the barrel. Once through the door avoid the spike balls and head North.

Use the direction pad to cross the room and enter the door. Burn the top left vines then burn the vines at the top of the stairs for the treasure chest containing a key. Leave the room, grab a torch, and use the directional pad to the stairs to burn the vines. Unlock the door and head in.

Destroy the corpses and Croaches for torches to drop from the ceiling. Burn the vines and prepare to fight Corpse Worm.
