Secondly, beware of the Arrghgoyles; they are extremely powerful compared to every other random enemy in this dungeon.  More to the point, they have Sizzle, and their version of it does 22-34 Damage to everyone in your party.  Fortunately, the SNES throws it's players a bone; some of it's PC's have innate resistances to certain spells.  In this case, Milly is immune to the Fuddle spell, and Ashlynn takes 30% less Damage from every spell in the Frizz, Sizz, Bang, and Crack family of spells.  As far as these guys go, this means that she'll only take 15-24 from Sizzle.

This does '''''not''''' apply to the DS version.  Yes, this is one of the few ways in which DS players are at a disadvantage compared to SNES players, so don't get cocky.  And do NOT try to fight any encounter with more than one of these guys in it; Milly needs to learn Snooze at Level 11 before you can match them.  Otherwise, they may very easily overwhelm you completely.  If you do have it, have Milly and Ashlynn spam it until both of them are put to sleep (they have 50% resistance to it).  Once you do that, run; you're guaranteed to get away if both of them are asleep.

If you are only fighting one of them however, that is a far more manageable fight.  Just have Ashlynn and Rex Sap away it's Defense, and kill it before it can do too much damage to you.  Follow these steps, '''''keep your HP above 68 at all times (or at full HP, in Ashlynn's case)''''', and the Underkeep should not cause too much difficulty.

On that note, none of the other monsters should cause any problems.  In fact, Snooze is very helpful against the Guaardvarks and Burning Men, so be sure to use that against them.  However...

''Note: There are two more enemies here that can be slightly dangerous, the Grim Grinner.  In the SNES version, these guys use Inverted Targeting, which means that they tend to focus on the PC's in the '''3rd and 4th slots''', rather than the ones in the  1st and 2nd Slots.  Considering Ashlynn's relative lack of durability, this can be bad.  But, you should be fine all the same.

In addition, there are also the Hermit Pixie's, who can do 14-34 Damage to all of your PC's with Swoosh.  However, they have '''no''' resistance whatsoever to Snooze, and they only have 27 Agility; between Ashlynn and Milly, you should never have a problem with these guys.''

The map on the right shows the "Dancer's Costume" floor as it is when fully lit up; however, much of it will be shrouded in darkness until you step on the four yellow switches on the first floor.  You can't hit them upon entering though; all of them are behind two locked doors.  In order to get ''those'' open, you have to go to the darkness room, fall down one of the pits, and hit the two gold switches on the bottom floor.  This will unlock the doors guarding the four other switches.  Get those as well, and everything will be all lit up.

Or, you could just use the map included here to skip straight to Murdaw himself.  Just be sure to get the Dancer's Costume if you're playing the SNES version; after this fight is when you will finally have enough money to buy the Enchanted Armour, and the Dancer's Costume is going to help us with that.

{{sidebar|title=An Important Note for SNES players!|width=400px|float=right|notwide=1|contents=Now is when SNES players should should be able to buy the Enchanted Armour.  Ashlynn's going to be replaced by a fourth party member very shortly, one who will need nothing from you but a Bronze Shield and some Hardwood Headware; so sell all of her stuff except for the Gold Bracer and Bunny Ears.  Then sell everything Milly has except for the Agility Ring, and sell whatever other outdated gear you need to!}}


Head on back to Somnia.  Go talk to the chancellor, go through the following scenes, walk down the stairs, and Ashlynn will tell you where you ought to go next.  If you're playing the DS version, great; you can get to the other Somnia near instantly.  If not, never fear; you do not need to walk all the way back through the Underground Tunnel to Alltrades.  Just warp to Haggleton, go west, and fall through that same hole you fell through all the way back at the beginning of the game.

You will end up in Wellshire, and ''this time'', it ''will'' end up on your Zoom list.  This is good because you'll wish to come back here very soon to do a sidequest.  Actually, you can technically complete it now; however, Ashlynn is going to be replaced by another character very soon, and this sidequest involves a mini-boss fight that gives 825 EXP to all party members.  You may as well let the new guy enjoy it; you'll be fighting the Chapter 3 endboss with ''him'' as your 4th party member, not Ashlynn.

In any case, head on over to Real World Somnia, enter the castle, get yourself thrown in jail, walk around a bit to be released, talk to the King, walk down the stairs, then talk to him again on the southwest corner of the floor you end up on.  He'll give you your new mission; a trip to Ghent!  You are taking the fight right to Murdaw, and you'll need Ghent's legendary boat in order to do it!  So head on over, now!
