Walkthrough[]
The heroes Theodorus and Rissa start out with an Academy town called Castle Agoura, and a army of dwarves, halflings, gold golems, magi, and titans. Theodorus is a second-level mage with advanced Order Magic and basic enchantment, and starts with the Boots of the Explorer and a Mage's Staff. Rissa is a first-level lord with a Longsword and a Chain Mail. As they explore their surroundings, they face very little opposition, and the game provides helpful hints every step on the way.
To the south and west, there are mines, dwellings, and adventure map structures that will improve the heroes. Once they have explored enough, the bridge to the east will lead to the swamp. By heading north and going through the two-way portal, the heroes will reach their foe: a small group of red hydras that will prove little resistance to the titans that the heroes started with.
Once the hydras are dead, the heroes are victorious.
