E1 — Serpent Woods

Corak's Notes

Long before the construction of Castle Dragontooth, when serpents still swarmed in Serpent Woods, explorers of the frozen lands erected statues to honor mythical champions of the attributes of man. Legend says a special blessing awaits those who pay homage to these champions of the long forgotten myths.

The main reason to visit this area is Castle Dragoontooth, where you can be deliver and be rewarded for all those Ancient Artifacts of Evil you may be carrying around. But don't overlook the Ultimate Warrior Statues; they could come in handy if you're planning on tackling an area nearby that you've been having trouble with.

The enemies here, the Archers and Evil Rangers, you should be able to deal with relatively easy by the time most people visit this area.

The forest also harbors a number of hidden treasures. You can find them at the following locations:

Keep going west from Castle Dragontooth until you run into a patch of trees. There's 5000 gold and 6 random items here. * If you keep going east from Castle Dragontooth, three spaces to be exact, there'll be another 7000 gold and 5 random items. * One space east and two spaces north from the Ultimate Warrior of Speed, there's 2000 gold and 5 random items.

These items will generally be of good to excellent quality, but they're also protected by a trap. The first treasure I listed triggers an electricity trap, the second a cold trap, and the third a fire trap. Protect your party with the appropriate Protection from Elements spell before uncovering them to avoid taking too much damage.

That's all the goodies in this area. Please disperse. Nothing more to see here. Move along.
