[b]Rusalka[/b]: Attack: 100% Health: 100% Corrosive (inflicts 1 stack of corrosion when it hits you, permanently increasing all damage you take by 1 - the stacks are hard to get rid of. Also leaves a corrosive pool instead of a blood pool) [b]Tokoloshe[/b]: Attack: 100% Health: 100% 50% physical resist Cowardly Trophy: Tokoloshe charm (small item that grants +5% magic resist) [b]Druid[/b]: Attack: 80% Health: 80% Death protection Magical attack [h2]Bosses[/h2] One random common boss [b][i]Bridge Troll[/i][/b]: (Optional level 5 miniboss, but guards the bridge. Can be bypassed by spending 20 gold or with magic) Attack: 19 Health: 70 Fast regen Berserks at 50% 50% resists Trophy: Sensation stone (lockerable item that can be converted for 150 CP) [b]Zin Kibaru[/b]: Attack: 78 Health: 415 Magical attack 25% magic resist Undead Bloodless [h2]Gimmicks[/h2] The dungeon is divided in half by a river, guarded by the Bridge Troll. You can skip the bridge troll by paying it 20 gold. [h2]Recommended Classes + Races[/h2] Any can work, but Berserker will utterly trivialize Zin Kibaru, Bloodmage has an easier start than most, and Monk scales well due to the charms. [h2]Strategy[/h2] This dungeon has a forgiving difficulty modifier, but the divided map can make the early game a bit tough. For new players, you might want to consider just paying the Troll Toll of 20 gold to get past him. If you are having a strong early game, it is definitely worth fighting the troll - he gives you 5 XP and an extra 150 CP, plus you won't have to spend 20 gold. Alternatively, if you find WEYTWUT or PISORF, you can use that to bypass him without spending gold and save him for later, when you are a higher level! This is basically always the ideal approach if you can do it. The monster set here is pretty varied. Rusalkas are tough for non-casters, as you don't want to get corroded. Tokoloshe's are tough but drop a charm that boosts your magic resist. Druids are very weak and super easy to kill, especially if you have some tokoloshe charms. Look for high level druids! Zin Kibaru is usually quite easy because of the charms, so usually you want to go after him first. [h2]Quests[/h2] [b]Troll Toll[/b]: Defeat Havendale Bridge. (Unlocks the Labyrinth and Magma Mines) ★★★★★★ All you have to do for this quest is win. Just follow the general strategy tips! Probably the most straightforward build here is an Orc Berserker. [b]Unlikely Heroes[/b]: Forest Edition Win with a Halfling Wizard, Halfling Monk, and Halfling Rogue. (Rewards 500 gold) ★★★★★★★ This is part of the Unlikely Heroes quest line, which forces you to use suboptimal race+class combos. Fortunately, none of these combos are horrible - they just aren't very good. You don't really need any special strats for these runs. The wizard especially shouldn't be tough. The monk run is harder, but monk is a good class here - just look for some damage bonuses and prep a base damage item if you can. The rogue combo is a little unfortunate because rogue isn't the best class here, but if you just focus on getting your health up with items or gods like Jehora Jeheyu, you shouldn't have much of an issue.
