| 4.02 Visiting the village Dew |
|
On the way to Dew you fall into an ambush. Fight the enemies with your
sword and you get important experience points. The inhabitants of Dew live
in fear of a strange being called Bogarda. There are rumors which tell
what the being really is, and Willow has to find the truth to free Dew.
On your mission to free Dew you have to get experience and new equipment
which you need later. One of the inhabitants gives you a wooden shield.
Talk to the chief when you have the shield. The chief in Dew is very suspicious
to strangers, but you better talk to him, because he might tell you something
very useful. The old man doesn't only heal your wounds. He can also make
weapons of dragonscale. When you have done this, move on to the northern
wood which lies north of the town. When you have killed, go back to the
village and talk to the blacksmith and then move on to the western wood.
You can get the little steel shield in the cave in the western wood. When
you have been in the Dragon cave, go back to the village and get the dragon
shield and dragon sword.

Wooden Shield |
Golden Statue |

| 4.04 Bogarda's cave in the north wood. |
|
The wood north of Dew is filled with monsters and farthest inside the wood
is Bogarda's cave. Bogarda's cave is guarded by one of his ruthless subjects,
but you have to get past them to save the village. If you're lucky you
will find usable items on the way. You need the battlesword to kill Bogarda.
Hit him until he is out of energy. The healing mace doesn't work in Bogarda's
cave. Look out for the zombie so that it doesn't transform you into a grunting
pig. Bavmorda's incantation prevents people from using the bridge west of
Dew. Here you run into the Nail Clan, for the first and hopefully the last
time.
EQUIPMENT: |
Strength Ring |
Flowing Fire |
Battle Sword |
| 4.05 Death wood and the dragon Matanda |
|
The death wood is worse than the northern wood of Dew. Here even the
trees are evil. Matanda's cave is even more extensive than Bogarda's. Explore it
carefully. On the way to the dead wood you will meet the brownies Franjean
and Rool. They will tell you about the fairy Cherlindrea. The old woman
is surprised to see Willow, but wants to help him if he helps her find
her pet called Po. Po disappeared in the dead wood. Po is a kind pet who
looks like a bird. Po can help Willow when he finds it. Tempt Po with the
magic flute. From Po's house you have to go as long as you can to the right
and then follow the path until it goes south. Then you take the first road
to the right and the first road which goes upwards. Go right where the
road splits in two, and then follow the road up and to the left. Take the
first road left and then just follow the road, and you will get to the
right place. Big awful monsters rush around in the dead wood. Avoid their
projectile weapons. You have to get the crystal ball from the dragon Matanda.
There are loads of useful items in Matanda's caves. You have to explore
all Matanda's caves before you can continue your jourey. It is worth the
trouble, because the games gets more interesting from here. Remember: if
you die in one of the caves you will lose everything you have collected
till then. You get full energy and magic when you find the shield and the
ocarina. When you have found everything return to Dew by using the ocarina
outside the cave. When you have found the secret path from Matanda's cave
the fairy Cherlindra appears in a cascade of magic. She gives Willow the
magic wand. The fairy Cherlindra is respected by all her goodhearted friends
because of her great wisdom.
