Deep Dungeon III: Yuushi heno Tabi/Castle Maps

Deriju Town


The armory here offers practically all the best equipment in the game here for a hefty price, some are minor upgrades to your current equipment so make the choice of what to get for whom.

Armory Hammer, Flame Whip Shield Ring, Magic Shield, Heat Armor, Full Plate

Currently, you can only access two ladders other than the one you came from. The ladder below the one leading to the cave leads back to a previously inaccessible part of the first floor of the Cave. In here, you can talk to the blacksmith if you have both the Metal and Decayed Sword to get him to repair it for you (go kill some time after giving him the items, check out the castle if you want). Offer a Prayer at the Temple to receive Holy Water. The other ladder (which is reached by going east of the Item Shop) leads you back to the first floor of the Underground Market in a previously inaccessible part. From here, you just have to walk east to reach a ladder back up to a part in Deriju that grants you access to the Castle.

Information 1: You can't enter the castle from the front. Search out a hidden entrance. Information 2: You can help an ill-minded person by giving them some Holy Water. Information 3: Leave this town to the north, then take the stairs down. Go to the east 16 paces, and look at the south wall. There's a shortcut to Aisle.

Castle level 1


Give the Letter you received from an NPC in an earlier dungeon to the guard at one of the nearby doors and the guard will disappear allowing you explore this floor.

I recommend using Armor and Storm in every encounter. You may wish to use Acid on the Bodyguards due to their high defense. Finally you must use magic on the Golems in order to defeat them. Storm will usually hit and defeat them outright. Dragons are particularly dangerous when they breath fire and damage your entire party for massive damage. The Wraiths are annoying due to their evasion and their propensity to cast Drain which takes away about 30 MP from one of your party members.

As long as you don't use the two western stairs, you will be able to explore all of the 2nd floor.

Castle level 2


The symbols with an arrow pointing down into a circle are what they appear to be: traps that drop you to the first floor.

First, make your way around the perimeter avoiding the holes to the south door and go north until you reach the NPC in a dead end. Give him Holy Water and he will give you the Crystal Key. Going back south, you can go east to the Princess's Room but there does not seem to be anything there. West you will find some barracks. Make your way north to the chest icon which you must examine to obtain a Carpet. Go south past the room marked Storage to the unmarked door and go up to the stairs to the 3rd Floor.

The message in the hallway leading to the stairs going to the 3rd floor hint that you need a light and dark orb which you should have obtained in previous dungeons.

Castle level 3


You will start running into more dangerous varieties of the monsters here. They are dangerous even at level 25 and can one shot your Wizard if you're not lucky. Continue to use Storm and Armor with your best equipment as well as Acid on the even stronger variety of Bodyguards. The Red Dragons are very dangerous boasting the 2nd highest attack only behind the final boss as well as attacking your entire party all at once with massive damage.

Go east where you come out to a locked door that you must use the Crystal Key on. There you will find a king who gives you a Necklace. He also tells you how to find the Carpet downstairs without a guide. Make your way to the red mark in the NE area of the map to find a flame. Place your Large Sword in the Flame and it becomes the Seal Sword. Use a circlet and try to escape the dungeon and rest at the inn and save your game.

Return to the 3rd floor and make your way to the center of the map with the red mark and up arrow. It says that there is a hole in the ceiling. Use the Carpet to get to the 4th floor.
