Notes and Extras
  • 1 of 4: The item shop in the village can have black potions and skill-point-giving clovers in its inventory, so be sure to use the old "save first and then restore if nothing's good" strategy when shopping there.
  • 2 of 4: There are three cauldrons in the region that give permanent resistance increases. Two of them are in the Evil Sorcerer camps a ways SW of the village, and the third one is north of the Wizard's Lab.
  • 3 of 4: There's also a pedestal that gives a temporary +50 to the Magic stat a ways SW of the two Evil Sorcerer camps with cauldrons.
  • 4 of 4: There's one treasure chest in the northernmost Evil-Sorcerer-with-cauldron camp, and another one is near the Lich Lab entrance.
