C3 — Isle of Fire: Southwest

Corak's Notes

The southwest face of the Isle of Fire is ringed by treacherous waters where whirlpools have claimed many ships, and the Pirate Queen holds the northeastern passage. On land, Great Hydras have established a hatchery — destroy it and you will earn one of the greatest rewards on the isle.

Monsters: Great Hydras, Kudo Crabs

• M1Great Hydra Lair — the hydra hatchery. Destroying it yields one of the highest rewards in the game.
• 1Combat — 3 Kudo Crabs + 1,000 gold + 2 L6 items.
• 2Combat — 3 Kudo Crabs + 1,000 gold + 2 L6 items.
• 3Combat — 3 Kudo Crabs + 1,000 gold + 2 L6 items.

The waters surrounding this region are as dangerous as the volcanic terrain itself. Kudo Crabs patrol the coastal shallows, while on land Great Hydras are formidable opponents with enormous hit points. Come prepared for extended combat.

The Hydra Lair (M1) is the main target: destroying it awards 2,000,000 XP and 1,000,000 gold per party member, plus 10 level-6 items — one of the most generous rewards in the game.

On the eastern edge of the area the Pirate Queen patrols the passage and will stop any party she encounters. She can be appeased with a Precious Pearl of Youth and Beauty.
