C1 — Frozen Isles: West

Corak's Notes

Somewhere high atop the mountains of the Frozen Isles lies the Full Moon Shrine. Legend says the Werewolves that inhabit this wintery land keep to themselves and pose no threat to others, but will come out in force to destroy any who desecrate their shrine.

Monsters in the area: Sprites, Cyclopes, Werewolves

• 1Sprite Lair. Destroy it to stop Sprites from re-appearing in the area. All party members will gain 25000 experience for doing this. You'll also receive 1000 gems, and the best wishes of the Sprites in the form of a curse that lowers your Luck. You'll need to visit a Temple to get rid of the curse.
• 2Cyclops Lair. Destroy it to stop Cyclopes from re-appearing in the area. All party members will gain 250000 experience for doing this. You'll also get 100000 Gold and 6 random items.
• 3Full Moon Shrine. If you destroy it, a pack of Werewolves will appear in the area and attack you.
• 4Chest — 100 gold + 100 gems + 5 L3 items.
• 5Chest — 500 gold + 50 gems + 5 L3 items.
• 6Chest — 25,000 gold.
• 7Chest — 6,000 gold + 3 L4 items.

You'll more than likely reach this small, straightforward area by using the Walk on Water spell to... well, walk on the water. First of all, approach the western island from the south. You'll encounter Sprites in the forest and in the clearing (possibly on the water, too). In this clearing is also their lair, which you should destroy. You'll be cursed, but that shouldn't cause you too much trouble. Just visit a Temple next time you're in a town.

There's some treasure chests in the forest as well. One space north and two spaces west from the Sprite Lair, you'll find a chest containing 100 Gold, 100 Gems and 5 random items. Two spaces north and one east from the Sprite Lair is another chest, this one contains 500 Gold, 50 Gems and 5 random items.

After clearing out the forest, head into the open area between the mountains and the forest. Cyclopes hang around here, and they're pretty tough, so be prepared to deal with them. After clearing them out, head into the mountains and destroy their lair to stop them from reappearing.

Now you can proceed to the eastern island. At first, the only enemies here will be sprites. Look for chests three spaces north and three spaces south of the Full Moon Shrine. You'll find a total of 31000 Gold and 3 random items.

The only thing left to do now is destroy the Full Moon Shrine, if you so wish. This will cause a pack of Werewolves to come out, and they are about as strong as Cyclopes, if not stronger. But if you destroy all the Werewolves, a fountain in the neighboring area D1 will be activated. This fountain will temporarily raise all your attributes tremendously, so you may find this a worthwhile task to perform.
