How do I deal with the witch Umar?
  • 1 of 4: She's hiding out in the abandoned temple.
  • 2 of 4: She's in the room where you first found the sunstone.
  • 3 of 4: She's incredibly puny, and she shouldn't pose a challenge.
  • 4 of 4: Once you finish her off, leave the temple, and the forest spirit will reward you with a figurine of a Moon Dog, which is, in my opinion, the most useful miscellaneous item in the game (against evil things at least).
