Intro/About the Author - [INTRO] - Hello, and welcome to my FAQ/Walkthrough for Wizard101. A game recognized by the casual observer as a "kiddie" game, Wizard101 is one of the most in-depth, entertaining RPG's that I have ever played. I have put literally thousands of hours into this game; far more time than I have with any other game. Although I have never played it, the battle system is similar to the one in Magic: The Gathering. Wizard101 is a turn-based, role-playing card game. As you advance through the story and level up, you'll gain more powerful spells and items. You follow the story of the young student who came from an unknown world to the Ravenwood School of Magical Arts. Unfortunately, the school is under attack by the ex-teacher, Malistaire Drake. The player follows Drake on a wild goose-chase through five different worlds, eventually confronting him in a final showdown in Dragonspyre. As of November, 2010, Kingsisle has added a seventh world: Celestia. Players may now level to 60 and three new side schools have been added. This world starts a new story line: the player's battle against Morganthe. As for myself, I am known as Onion Knight on the Wizard101Central forums. I am a retired Tournament Master, a position on the forum staff. Wizard101 has been out for a little over two years, and I was disappointed to find that a game with ten million members has no guide to call it's own on gamefaqs. I decided to take it upon myself to undertake this massive project. After playing this game for nearly as long as it has been out, I feel that I am qualified to do so. That's just about all I have to say. Enjoy the guide!

Crowns are for the player who wants to take his/her time, doesn't care about the competition that PvP offers, and wants to play through the game several times over a long period of time. A subscription is for everyone else. There are tons of member benefits, and you can get a subscription during the sales for $60. How to Use This Guide - [HOWTO] - In this guide I'll be using a few ASCII charts and/or graphs, so might as well explain how to use them! I'll start with the walkthrough tables of contents. _,-----.___,-----------._ < [PT1] ) Wizard City > /¯`-----'¯¯¯`-----------'¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯\ \ Choose a School..........[PT1.1] / / The Tutorial.............[PT1.2] \ \ Unicorn Way..............[PT1.3] / / Sidequest Roundup #1.....[PT1.4] \ \ Cyclops Lane.............[PT1.5] / / Triton Avenue............[PT1.6] \ \ Sidequest Roundup #2.....[PT1.7] / / Firecat Alley............[PT1.8] \ \ Stormdrain and Sapphyra..[PT1.9] / / Sidequest Roundup #3.....[PT1.A] \ \ Nightside................[PT1.B] / / Sunken City..............[PT1.C] \ \ To Krokotopia!...........[PT1.D] / / \ \____________________________________________________________________________/ This is a walkthrough table of contents. As you can see at the top, this is the table of contents for Wizard City. Each section of the guide can be found by pressing Ctrl + F to open the search toolbar, and then typing in the "code" words. For example, if I was looking for the section on "Sidequest Roundup #1," I'd type "[PT1.4]" into the search box. Then I'd press "Enter" and voila! You are now in the "Sidequest Roundup #1" section! There will also be charts for bosses. I'll describe them as well. ____ ___________ __ (BOSS)Rattlebones)04) |----'-----------'------------------------------------------------------------. | Rank: 1 Elite | | Health: 135 | | School: Death | | Physical Attack: 85 (Death) Damage Per Pip | | Minion: Dark Fairy | | Notable Item Drops: Myth Sprite (Pet) | '-----------------------------------------------------------------------------' You're probably looking at this going, "Whoa, what do all the random numbers and letters mean? Allow me to enlighten you. Rank - Tells what rank the enemy is, obviously. Basically tells you how dangerous they are. 1 is easy, 12 is hard. Health - If you don't know what this means, you need help. School - Tells what school the boss is! Physical Attack - Every mob has a standard attack. They vary in form, school type, damage, and pip cost. Minion - What good is a big bad boss without a sidekick? Notable Item Drops - This just tells what items are worth farming off the boss. The Number Next to the Boss' Name - The level I recommend being at for this boss. This doesn't mean you can't kill him at a lower level, this is the level that you should be as if you are completing every quest as you go. Now that all the introductory junk is out of the way, time to get started on the REAL part of the guide!

Of course, if you want to ruin the fun, you can click "Skip the Test" in the bottom-left corner of the screen at the very beginning. I won't go over which choices in the quiz determine which school, as you can very easily skip the test and get the school of your choice. Also, telling which answers get what school kind of ruin the surprise, right? Anyways, here is a brief overview of each school. ==== Fire ---- Pros: ~Second highest damage per pip on spells. ~Fire gets arguably the best PvP spell in the game (Link). ~Tons of DoT (Damage over Time) spells, making them a very powerful PvP school. ~Fire has the best 4-pip AoE (Area of Effect) spell in Meteor Strike. ~Fire has a 2-pip bubble spell (Wyldfire). Cons: ~Below average health. ~Second worst accuracy. Bottom Line: Fire, up until the Celestia update, was far and away the best PvP school for 1v1. Ice now takes that spot, but Fire with its vast amount of DoT's takes a close second. Fire is very fun to play, and is good at finishing battles quickly with its high damage. Whenever you can, invest in items that will boost your Fire accuracy, as fizzling is a recurring theme in the early Fire game. Overall PvE (Player versus Environment) Rating: 6/10 Overall PvP (Player versus Player) Rating: 10/10 === Ice --- Pros: ~Highest health in the game. ~Tower Shield, the best shield in the game. ~Ice has a very solid minion. ~Ice gets generic resist instead of school-specific, making it an excellent tank class. ~Ice's level 58+ gear outclasses the Commander arena set, which is most of the reason why Ice dominates the 1v1 arena. ~Ice has a 4-pip AoE (Blizzard). ~Ice has a 2-pip bubble (Balefrost). Cons: ~Mediocre accuracy. ~Low damage. Bottom Line: Ice is great for both PvE and PvP. Battles might take a while in PvE with your lower than average damage, but you will be very difficult to kill with your larger-than-life health. You'll want to spend your cash on items that provide generic resist as well as health, making you even more difficult to take down. Overall PvE Rating: 8/10 Overall PvP Rating: 10/10 ===== Storm ----- Pros: ~Huge damage, the highest in the game. ~Storm has a 2-pip bubble (Darkwind). ~Storm's minion was made for soloing (Water Elemental). It offsets Storm's low health when used correctly. Cons: ~Lowest health in the game. ~Lowest accuracy of all schools. ~No 4-pip AoE spell. Bottom Line: Storm can be frustrating to play early on, so I don't recommend it to beginners. However, if you can get past the fizzles early in the game, by Mooshu you'll be getting items that increase your accuracy enough that you will be unstoppable in PvE. Invest in Keen Eyes treasure cards to boost your accuracy early on, and you shouldn't see many fizzles. At level 18 Storm gets its Water Elemental, which uses Taunt spells to draw attention to itself. Use these liberally, and you will be able to solo just about anything. Unfortunately for Storm, it's low health really brings it down in the arena, so it's not a preferable competitive school. Overall PvE Rating: 10/10 Overall PvP Rating: 4/10 ==== Myth ---- Pros: ~Four different minions; two of which are some of the best in the game. ~Orthrus and Minotaur are both dominating spells in the arena, due to them being nearly unshieldable. ~Myth has a 2-pip bubble (Time of Legend). ~Myth has a 4-pip AoE spell (Humongofrog). Cons: ~Below average health. ~Mediocre accuracy. ~From levels 10 to 32, Myth gets no new solid attacking spells. ~Myth's highest hitting spells for most of the game (until the very end when you get Medusa), Minotaur and Orthrus, are double hits and are very tricky to boost. Bottom Line: Myth is in the top 3 in PvP, but is at the bottom in PvE. Low health and accuracy, combined with mediocre damage makes for a very tricky game. If you can make it through, however, you'll be rewarded with a very powerful PvP character. Use those minions! Overall PvE Rating: 3/10 Overall PvP Rating: 9/10 ===== Death ----- Pros: ~Above average health. ~A very powerful minion spell. ~Lifesteals make Death the top solo school. ~A Death school heal spell. ~Can carry more Infections and gets it for free. ~With the addition of the Mutate Death Minotaur and Skeletal Dragon, Death now has some solid damaging attacks. ~Sacrifice, a heal exclusive to Death, is one of the game's best healing spells. Cons: ~No 4-pip AoE. ~No 2-pip bubble. ~Lifesteals, Death's main attacks, have an extremely low damage output. Bottom Line: If you like to play solo, Death is the class for you. With Lifesteal spells you can take on literally everything in the game by yourself. As for PvP, Death is an average school. I rank it at number 4 (of 7), right outside of Ice, Fire, and Myth. However, in my opinion Death is the most fun class to play, and it works well with anyone who works odd hours or enjoys a challenge. Overall PvE Rating: 10/10 Overall PvP Rating: 7/10 ==== Life ---- Pros: ~Can use power pips on heal spells. ~Has a huge arsenal of healing abilites. ~High health. ~The best accuracy in the game. ~Awesome soloing ability, due to incredible healing. ~Rebirth, the best group heal spell in the game, is exclusive to Life. ~Life's version of Pixie, Fairy, can heal other players. Cons: ~No 4-pip AoE. ~No 2-pip bubble. ~One of the weakest schools in terms of damage. ~Does not get an AoE damage spell until level 58. Bottom Line: Like to play with friends? Life is the school for you. Even at the beginning of the game, Life has an ability that no one else gets: they can heal other players. Death and Balance learn heal others spells later, but unless you train Life, no one else gets a non-self heal. In terms of solo-ability, Life ranks high up. Battles will take forever, yes, but with your healing you will not die. As for PvP, a Life wizard makes for a valuable asset on any team. In 1v1, though, Life's powers are limited, due to no solid bubble or AoE. Overall PvE Rating: 10/10 Overall PvP Rating: 7/10 ======= Balance ------- Pros: ~Generic boosts allow Balance to boost other schools. ~High health. ~Above average accuracy. ~Helping Hands allows you to heal others. ~Balance has two minions, and both are powerful. ~Has a 4-pip AoE. ~Unbalance is handy for locking your opponents Reshuffles. Cons: ~Balance's generic boosts are easily stopped by Tower Shield and Weakness. ~Very low damage output. ~Balance school enemies are big problems when they use Elemental Shields. ~Balance got gypped out of a level 58 spell, as well as a 48 spell. ~No 2-pip bubble. Bottom Line: Before the Celestia update, Balance was a solid school. Now, since they honestly got nothing out of their 58 spell, most Balances use the same spells they used in PvP at level 28 that they do at 60. The only cards that you get past 28 that are helpful are Hydra, Spectral Minion, and... well... nothing else. As for PvE, Balance is mainly a support school with its generic boosting spells. Soloing is a challenge for Balance, with its lack of boosting and weak spells. Poor Balance, it seems as if it is the one school Kingsisle decided to neglect. Overall PvE Rating: 5/10 Overall PvP Rating: 4/10 Now that we have that over with, make your choice, or, if you feel like surprising yourself, take the test and see what you get. Once you've selected your character's class, you will then be able to decide what your character will look like, and then choose a name (selected from a list). The character I will be using in the making of this guide is Scot Dark, a Theurgist (Life). I will be posting my character's status at the end of each area, so you'll know what is a good pace to be at during your time in the game. I will be soloing everything in the game, as well as providing boss strategies and general battle strategies for each school. Have fun! Without further ado, your character is taken to the tutorial. _ _ ,-,.-.,-, \ \ __ / /===================================| | . | | \ \/ \/ / The Tutorial [PT1.2] | | ' | | \__/\__/------------------------------------|___|_|___| ,--------.------------. ; Quests ; To Receive ; |--------'----------------. | None | '-------------------------' ,--------.------------. ; Quests ; To Turn in ; |--------'----------------. | None | '-------------------------' ,--------------------.----. | Recommended Level: | 01 | '--------------------'----' If you've played the game before, click "Skip the Tutorial." All you get out of this tutorial is a little bit of XP, so there is no reason to do it unless you want to learn how to play the game. If you haven't played before, by all means do the tutorial. It will save me the trouble of creating a "how to duel" section of this guide, anyways. In the tutorial, you'll meet up with Headmaster Ambrose in front of Golem Tower, only to find out that someone is snooping around inside. You'll find Malistaire, the game's main antagonist, as well as his Draconian minions. You'll battle the minions under the guidance of Merle, learn the basics, get your XP, and be carted off to the Headmaster's Office. <><><><><><><><><> Headmaster's Office <><><><><><><><><> ,--------.------------. ; Quests ; To Receive ; |--------'----------------. | Unicorn's Folly | '-------------------------' ,--------.------------. ; Quests ; To Turn in ; |--------'----------------. | None | '-------------------------' ,--------------------.----. | Recommended Level: | 01 | '--------------------'----' When you arrive in the office, speak to Headmaster Ambrose. You will receive the "Unicorn's Folly" quest: *-*Unicorn's Folly*-* Given By: Merle Ambrose Objective: (1) Talk to Private Stillson (2) Talk to Private Connelly Reward: 30 XP, 5 Gold Hand In: Private Connelly Alright, now let's get ourselves situated. At the beginning of the game, you are equipped with a Starter Deck (containing 3 copies of your school's rank 1 spell), as well as a wand that comes with 6 spells (1 copy of each school's rank 1 spell besides your own). Now that you know what you've got, let's head outside, to the Commons. <><><><><> The Commons <><><><><> ,--------.------------. ; Quests ; To Receive ; |--------'----------------. | Find the Smiths | '-------------------------' ,--------.------------. ; Quests ; To Turn in ; |--------'----------------. | Unicorn's Folly | '-------------------------' ,--------------------.----. | Recommended Level: | 01 | '--------------------'----' Welcome to Wizard City's central hub. There's plenty to do here, but unfortunately for us, it's all locked up. For now, you can follow the arrows on the ground to reach Unicorn Way, or use your map [M]. However, we need to pick up a side-quest first. Find Prospector Zeke on your map. He is located next to Eloise Merryweather, near the Pet Pavilion. Once you find him, talk to him to get your first "Zeke quest": *-*Find the Smiths*-* Given By: Prospector Zeke Objective: Find The Commons Smith, Ravenwood Smith, Unicorn Way Smith, Shopping District Smith, Olde Town Smith, Golem Court Smith, Firecat Alley Smith, Triton Avenue Smith, Cyclops Lane Smith, Colossus Boulevard Smith Reward: 355 XP, 76 Gold, 1 Training Point Zeke's quests are different from others in the game. You are given the task of finding "Smiths" - small black men with red coats - in the various streets of Wizard City. The reward for this quest is considerably larger than most other quests in this area of the game, but you also get a Training Point, used to buy more spells. These are very valuable, and you only get a few over the course of the entire game. Use them wisely! Now that we've spoken to Zeke, head over to Private Stillson near the front of Unicorn Way. After talking to him he will open up Unicorn Way, and you will be complete the first of two objects for "Unicorn's Folly." Head into Unicorn Way. _ _ ,-,.-.,-, \ \ __ / /===================================| | . | | \ \/ \/ / Unicorn Way [PT1.3] | | ' | | \__/\__/------------------------------------|___|_|___| <><><><><> Unicorn Way <><><><><> ,--------.------------. ; Quests ; To Receive ; |--------'----------------. | Ghost Hunters | | Saving Private O'Ryan | | Fairies Wear Boots | | Pesky Pirates | | Yellow Brick Road | | Not In Kansas Anymore | | Grim Tales | | They're Not Bad... | | Finding Out Why | | Freedom! | | Sinister Skeleton | | Stop the Maker | | Rattlebones Report | '-------------------------' ,--------.------------. ; Quests ; To Turn in ; |--------'----------------. | Unicorn's Folly | '-------------------------' ,--------. ; Enemies \ |----------'--------------. | Lost Soul | 65HP| | Skeletal Pirate | 95HP| | Dark Fairy | 135HP| | Fairy Queen | 235HP| '-----------------'-------' ,--------------------.----. | Recommended Level: | 01 | '--------------------'----' Welcome to Unicorn Way, the first monster-infested area of Wizard101. You'll be fighting your first real battle soon enough, but first we need to pick up a few quests. Speak with Private Connelly upon entering, and you will complete the quest Unicorn's Folly. If you did the tutorial, this will level you up to 2, and if not, you will level up soon enough. Private Connelly will now give you a new quest: *-*Ghost Hunters*-* Given By: Private Connelly Objective: Defeat 3 Lost Souls Reward: 35 XP, 5 Gold Hand In: Private Connelly Woohoo! A fighting quest! Head down the street past the gazebo to find the Lost Souls. Lost Souls can be killed by anything in your deck; just use the spell with the highest accuracy. Defeat 3 of them, then return to Connelly. *-*Saving Private O'Ryan*-* Given By: Private Connelly Objective: Talk to Private Connelly Reward: 60 XP, 20 Gold, Robe (Varies, depending on school) Hand In: Private O'Ryan Open your map and find "Private O'Ryan." We won't be talking to him quite yet, as there are a few other quest givers that need your help. First, find the green robe-wearing fellow near Connelly named Ceren Nightchant. Speak to him to get a quest. *-*Fairies Wear Boots*-* Given By: Ceren Nightchant Objective: Defeat 2 Dark Fairies Reward: 35 XP, 5 Gold, Hat (Varies, depending on school) Hand In: Ceren Nightchant Head past the gazebo to find Olivia Dawnwillow. Speak to her to receive another quest. *-*Pesky Pirates*-* Given By: Olivia Dawnwillow Objective: Defeat 3 Skeletal Pirates Reward: 35 XP, 10 Gold, Ring (Flawed Opal Band) Hand In: Olivia Dawnwillow Follow the street to O'Ryan's house (use quest tracker if you want) and go inside. Speak to him to update your quest. Objective: Talk to Private Connelly [X] Objective: Defeat 3 Skeletal Pirates [ ] Right outside his house are plenty of Skeletal Pirates. They have 95 health; a Thunder Snake or Fire Cat spell will knock one out quickly. Once you have defeated 3 of them, both the "Saving Private O'Ryan" and "Pesky Pirates" quests will be complete. Head back inside O'Ryan's house to get your reward. Equip the robe you received to get a small defensive boost to your school. Talk to him again to get another quest. *-*Yellow Brick Road*-* Given By: Private O'Ryan Objective: Talk to Dorothy Gale Reward: 5 XP Hand In: Dorothy Gale Dorothy can be found on your map; head to her house to get another quest. *-*Not In Kansas Anymore*-* Given By: Dorothy Gale Objective: Talk to Dorothy's Friends Reward: 45 XP, 20 Gold, Boots (Ruby Slippers) Hand In: Dorothy Gale Run up the road to Dorothy's friends' house. Your quest log will be updated. Objective: Talk to Dorothy's Friends [X] Objective: Talk to Dorothy Gale [ ] Head back to Dorothy to receive your reward. The shoes are... terrible... but you can equip them if you want (especially if you're going for the whole Judy Garland look). It won't make much of a difference, really. Your next target is Dark Fairies. Hit them with 2 high accuracy attacks, or 1 Thunder Snake. Return to Olivia Dawnwillow to get your reward (equip the ring for a bitof health), as well as a new quest. *-*Grim Tales*-* Given By: Olivia Dawnwillow Objective: Talk to Boris Tallstaff Reward: 75 XP, 20 Gold Hand In: Merle Ambrose This quest requires you to leave Unicorn Way, which we're not quite ready to do yet. Head over to Ceren to get the reward from "Fairies Wear Boots" (equip the shoes for more resist), as well as a new quest. *-*They're Not Bad...*-* Given By: Ceren Nightchant Objective: Talk to Lady Oriel Reward: 45 XP, 5 Gold, Treasure Card (Seraph) Hand In: Lady Oriel Lady Oriel hangs out at the very back of Unicorn Way, in the Hedge Maze. Before you enter, face the giant unicorn statue in front of the Hedge Maze (while facing the Hedge Maze) and turn left. You'll see the Unicorn Way Smith hiding in a corner. Run over to him to clear the objective. Find Lady Oriel in the Hedge Maze and speak to her to get your reward, as well as a new quest. *-*Finding Out Why*-* Given By: Lady Oriel Objective: Defeat Dark Fairies and collect 3 Fairy Dust Reward: 35 XP, 10 Gold, Boots (Varies, depending on school) Hand In: Lady Oriel Head outside and smash 3 Dark Fairies, using the same methods you used before. By now, you'll probably be needing a mana refill. You can always pick up blue wisps in the street, but you can also go back to the Commons and play minigames at the Fairegrounds to fill back up. Your choice. Once the Fairies are done in, you'll get an update: Objective: Defeat Dark Fairies and collect 3 Fairy Dust [X] Objective: Talk to Lady Oriel [ ] Speak to Lady Oriel to receive your reward. Equip the shoes to have a full set of clothing! You'll also get another quest. *-*Freedom!*-* Given By: Lady Oriel Objective: Open 4 Bone Cages in Unicorn Way Reward: 75 XP, 20 Gold, Furniture Item (Small Candle), SPELL CARD (Life gets Fairy, everyone else gets Pixie) Hand In: Lady Oriel Remember those creepy-looking cages all over Unicorn Way?

After a conversation, you'll get another update. Objective: Open 4 Bone Cages in Unicorn Way [X] Objective: Return to Hedge Mze and visit Lady Oriel [X] Objective: Talk to Lady Oriel [ ] Yes! A heal spell! Life wizards get Fairy, which can heal anyone for 420. Everyone else gets Pixie, which can only heal yourself for 400. You'll also get a useless Small Candle (unless you're into housing, of course). *-*Sinister Skeleton*-* Given By: Lady Oriel Objective: Talk to Ceren Nightchant Reward: 15 XP, 10 Gold Hand In: Ceren Nightchant Run all the way back up the street to Ceren Nightchant.

The only way you'll lose the battle is through horrible luck. If you still feel uncomfortable, head to the Bazaar and buy a wand that gives 45 damage wand attacks for around 20 gold. Use wand attacks to wear down the Dark Fairy (3 hits will knock it out) and use Pixies if you get in trouble. Once Rattlebones goes down, return to Ceren Nightchant to get a whole load of rewards. Equip your new wand (it gives wand attacks instead of rank 1 cards; get used to it as you'll be using this type of wand for the rest of the game) and boots, and accept the new quest. *-*Rattlebones Report*-* Given By: Ceren Nightchant Objective: Talk to Merle Ambrose Reward: 130 XP, 30 Gold, Potion Bottle Hand In: Merle Ambrose Badge: Hero of Unicorn Way Use the "Teleport to Commons" button and head to The Commons. <><><><><> The Commons <><><><><> ,--------.------------. ; Quests ; To Receive ; |--------'----------------. | Sergeant's Orders | '-------------------------' ,--------.------------. ; Quests ; To Turn in ; |--------'----------------. | Rattlebones Report | '-------------------------' ,--------------------.----. | Recommended Level: | 05 | '--------------------'----' Speak to Merle Ambrose in the Headmaster's House to get a potion bottle.

Objective: Talk to Mr. Lincoln [X] Objective: Talk to Merle Ambrose [ ] Run around the Golem Tower and look behind a tree directly behind it. The Golem Tower Smith is there! Three down! Head back around and speak to Regina Flametalon. *-*Science Fair*-* Given By: Regina Flametalon Objective: Defeat Wooden Construct and Collect Enchanted Wood | Talk to Regina Flametalon Reward: 20 XP, 5 Gold Hand In: Regina Flametalon This quest requires you to head inside Golem Tower. If you feel like you are under-leveled (which is reasonable), come back to this section later. If you want to go ahead and get it over with, and get a cool badge, go ahead and do it now. =-= Below is a mini-guide I posted on Wizard101 Central about soloing Golem Tower at low levels. The guide was written for a Balance wizard who couldn't manage it, so keep that in mind. If you didn't train Death as a side (or aren't Death yourself), buy Ghoul treasure cards. With preparation, I'd say that Golem Tower is fairly easy at any level above 5 (assuming your luck doesn't completely fail you). Some notes. -- Full health, mana, and potions are a necessity. -- Tough treasure cards (buy-able at the Library) make GT possible at lower levels. If you are Balance, I'll just assume your side-school is either Ice, Life, or Death (the most likely choice). Unless you say differently, I'll just assume you chose Death. If this isn't what you chose just let me know. For this run you'll be needing 3 Tough treasures. -- Buy a 50 damage wand. You can clear the first few floors using only wand attacks and saving your pips for healing. Two hits from a 50 damage wand knocks a basic Golem out without the expense of any pips. Use those extras for Pixie! -- This is a huge tip. Make sure you go first in the first battle. If you don't, hit [ESC] and then "Quit." You'll reset outside the tower when you log back in, with no health/mana lost. You're probably wondering why this matters, but towers are special in the fact that if you go first on the first floor, you will go first on all floors. -- Floor-by-floor analysis: (1) A single Woodwork Golem. Deck: (3) Elemental Shield (3) Ghoul I'm going to assume through the entire tower you are going first. Toss up an Elemental Shield just in case the Golem decides to send out Fire Cat or Thunder Snake. Use Ghoul on the following round to finish the fight, and gain back any lost health. Full Health? Yes. Potion? Yes. (2) Two Woodwork Golems. Deck: (3) Ghoul (2) Pixie Wand attack one of the Golems twice, then heal with Pixie. Kill the other Golem with Ghoul on the following round. Full Health? Yes. Potion? Yes. (3) Two Clockwork Golems. Deck: (3) Elemental Shield (2) Ghoul (2) Pixie Sideboard: (1) [Tough] Scarab / Dark Sprite This is where it starts to get tougher, but our own Toughness (bad pun, I know) helps us out. Right off the bat use a Tough'd Scarab / Dark Sprite to knock out one Golem. Toss up an Elemental Shield on the following turn. Ghoul the other Clockwork. Only use the Pixies if something goes wrong. Full Health? If not at full, then very near. Potion? Yes. (4) Two Clockwork Golems. Deck: (3) Elemental Shield (2) Ghoul (2) Pixie Sideboard: (1) [Tough] Scarab / Dark Sprite Exact same fight as last time. Right off the bat use a Tough'd Scarab / Dark Sprite to knock out one Golem. Toss up an Elemental Shield on the following turn. Ghoul the other Clockwork. Only use the Pixies if something goes wrong. Full Health? If not at full, then very near. Potion? Yes. (5) One Iron Golem and one Clockwork Golem. Deck: (3) Elemental Shield (2) Ghoul (2) Pixie Sideboard: (1) [Tough] Scarab / Dark Sprite Go ahead and quaff the potion here, as this is the last floor. The same strategy that worked on the last two floors will work here as well. Enjoy your badge! =-= I'll go ahead and list Regina Flametalon's next few quests. *-*Second Gear*-* Given By: Regina Flametalon Objective: Defeat Clockwork Golem and collect Charged Gear Reward: 45 XP, 10 Gold, Boots (Vrixx's Footwraps) Hand In: Regina Flametalon *-*The Final Piece*-* Given By: Regina Flametalon Objective: Defeat Iron Golem and Collect Steam Capacitor Reward: 100 XP, 26 Gold, Treasure Card (Ghoul), Treasure Card (Blood Bat), Furniture Item (Bottle Burner) For Regina's quests, only go as far into Golem Tower as you have to to complete the quest. Leave, get her next quest, then get a little farther. Once you're all done, you get the Golem Tower Champion badge! Wear it with pride. That just about wraps up Golem Court, so let's move on. <><><><><> The Commons <><><><><> ,--------.------------. ; Quests ; To Receive ; |--------'----------------. | Our Daily Dread | '-------------------------' ,--------.------------. ; Quests ; To Turn in ; |--------'----------------. | A Dreadful Situation | '-------------------------' ,--------------------.----. | Recommended Level: | 05 | '--------------------'----' Our Sidequest Roundup is coming to a close, but there are a few last sides to pick up.
