DW1 Map Garinham.png

Somewhere in Garinham lies a dark secret

Far to the north and west of Tantegel Castle lies the ancient town of Garinham. Many rumors and legends surround this place, once the home of the great wizard named Garin. It is said that hidden in the shadows of the town is Garin's grave, and that a Silver Harp is buried there too. No one knows if this legend is true, but you should explore everywhere, even in the shadows. The secret may lie behind the closed door, but even getting in may be difficult. From the citizens of Garinham, you will learn more about the disappearance of the Princess.

Building up to higher levels takes patience

This is not a game you can rush through. Take your time and increase your Levels. If you wander too far you will meet monsters that you can't defeat. There is no substitute for experience. As for finding the special items, keep thinking about the clues you have gathered. Look for places that the clues seem to describe.

The luck of battle

Good luck

Whenever you fight, you swing your weapon to strike the enemy. Occasionally, your strike is so successful at hitting the enemy's weak point that you do tremendous damage. Though it can not be counted upon, it can substantially shorten the length of a battle. An item is rumored to increase the likelihood of this beneficial luck.

Bad luck

Just because you request to run away from a monster does not mean you will always get the opportunity to do so. Monsters that are stronger than you are usually quicker than you as well, and can cut off your route to escape. Don't wait until only one more strike can finish you off to run. Be prepared to take off sooner in case you can't get away the first time.

Erdrick's Cave

2nd floor
2nd floor

This cave is the first most heroes encounter. Unlike the other caves, it has no enemies within. Be sure to light a torch, or use the Light spell to make winding your way through the dungeon easier. Make your way to the lower level to find a very special message left here for you by your legendary ancestor.
