Dragons of Flame/The Cave of Sha Mori

The goal here is to acquire the Wyrmslayer from the depths of this cave and then enter Pax Tharkas through a hidden door.

There's no going back now. The first floor here actually separates the rest of the cave into left and right sides, with the except of a path a few floors down that leads to the mid-section of the right side of the cave. It's not worth fulling exploring the left side of the cave but you should go down at least to where the Heal Scroll (4), Raise Dead Scroll (5) are, as well as possibly the small pocket where the Battle Axe +2 (+) is, and the two Potions of Healing are (<, ~) and Arrows (>) in the center.

You might also want to go up the right side to grab the two Potions of Healing (&, #) there. The Wyrmslayer sword is located in the bottom right corner. This part of the map is accurate so there shouldn't be any problems. Otherwise just enter the doors near a barricaded "window" until you get to the sword. The enemies are tougher, particularly the Trolls, and Small Dragons that you'll encounter in the lower floors of this cave. Spectral Minions can be a pain if you're not careful as well. The rest of the enemies are weaker and you shouldn't have any problems with them.

Progressing through the cave depends on how you want to take it, since it's fairly open-ended. If you want the better items like the Potions of Healing, Heal Scroll, and Raise Dead Scroll, head down the left side until you reach the Heal Scroll (4) and Raise Dead Scroll (5). Now backtrack up two floors and right, taking the rightmost doors until you reach the central part of the cave. There's two Potions of Healing (<, ~) and Arrows (>) here. After that, take the second door from the right (door "s") and follow it until you reach the right side of the cave (you'll end up at door "w").

Continue down the right side to where the Wyrmslayer (*) room is located. You'll know you're in the right place when you see a large statue and a throne with a skeleton and the sword beside it. Some text will pop up and you can take the sword. Keep going to the far left side of this room to find a Quarter Staff +2 if you want it. Now this is the hard part to describe. I believe the door marked "p" leads to the confusion of this part of the cave.

You'll probably end up going some wandering here before you find the door to Pax Tharkas. You'll know you've found it when you go down several zig-zagging floors as evident when you look at the map. When you get close to the door, some text will pop up identifying that the door does go to Pax Tharkas. Sorry about the confusion. I'm going to fix the map for that part of the cave in the next update. But for now, I hope that you found it all right. Now, it's off to Pax Tharkas.
