General hints

Mainland dungeons:

• Dungeon Despise
• Dungeon Destard
• Dungeon Wrong
• Dungeon Hythloth

Oversea dungeons:

• Dungeon Deceit
• Dungeon Shame
• Dungeon Covetous

Enter the dungeons from their mainland entrance, go through the Altar Room and emerge from a different dungeon with oversea entrance. From there, either backtrack or use the Gate spell. Start from Dungeon Hythloth, because the White stone is required in all of the three Altar Rooms.

The Black stone

• Talk to the dwellers in Magincia Ruins, and follow the trail.

Dungeon Hythloth

• Goals: get the lighter-than-air device and the White stone.

Before entering the Dungeon Hythloth, make sure you have plenty of "Cure" and "Dispell" spells, and also ten/twenty magic gems (you can use the "View" spell, but it's better to save nightshade and mandrake for other spells).

You can buy the cheapest reagents for Cure (ginseng and garlic) in Paws. The cheapest reagents for Dispell can be bought...

Access the Dungeon from Castle Britannia. You will be unable to exit from there, and a vertical shaft will lead you down to the 8th level
