Exploration Guide[]

See testimonials and discussions.
Fixed Area Effect (all encounters):
- 1 red torch held: Increase fire physical and magic damage (30%) to both sides.
- 2 red torches held: Increase fire physical and magic damage (50%) to both sides.
- 1 purple torch held: Increase ice physical and magic damage (30%) to both sides.
- 2 purple torches held: Increase ice physical and magic damage (50%) to both sides.
- 1 red & 1 purple torch held: Increase fire and ice physical and magic damage (30%) to both sides.

In order to traverse this floor, red or purple fire needs to be picked up with a torch, as the fire will resonate with crystals on the ground to open up passages (matching the color of the fire). At first, only a single fire can be held, but defeating the mini-boss Resentful Swordsman grants access to a second torch.

There are 2 types of pedestals for the fires. One simple type that only serves as containers for the fires, and a second, more intricate type that serves as puzzles, revealing hidden treasures or opening doors upon being solved.
- For the second type, fires of a specific color need to be placed on them. The required type of fire is indicated by the color of jewels nearby (on top of pillars or next to the closed doors). If the jewel is not colored, the corresponding pedestal should remain empty.

Treasure chest 2 appears by solving the puzzle with the 4 pedestals nearby.

On the second floor, the Teleportation Gate at spot A will change destination depending on which fires have been placed on its 4 pedestals:
- Placing 2 red fires on the lower pedestals will set the destination to Point B1
- Placing 2 purple fires on the left pedestals will set the destination to Point B2
- Placing 2 red fires on the left and 2 purple fires on the right pedestals will set the destination to Point B3

Brutus guards chest 8, while Skulwyrm guards chest 7,

Which version of Kaiseraffe is fought depends on which fires are placed in the 2 pedestals next to the boss door.
- Two red fires lead to the “Trial of Flames”
- Two purple fires lead to the “Trial of Frost”
- One red and one purple fire each lead to the “Trial of Frostflame”

There are no random encounters. Instead, there are fixed encounters whose positions depend on the color of the currently held torches, as well as stone Gargoyles.
- The enemy Hell Moose omnicover their allies, while the Gargoyles can use Curaga.
