RECLAIM THE BANNER OF HOPE
When you're confident in your equipment, head south to the stronghold, which the monsters brazenly named New Tantegel Castle.
Ignore the warnings and head inside. Never rush ahead when there are still enemies around. You can engage a single enemy, while
leaving behind others, if you carefully creep just into its line of sight and duck back quickly.
In order to obtain the Banner of Hope,
you must defeat eleven total enemies
(tracked by a counter on the screen).
Three dark skeletons guard the first floor.
The second floor has additional dark
skeletons and a single knight abhorrent.
A pair of knights abhorrent guard the
treasure chests on the third floor, but
the chests won 't open until after every
enemy is down. The toughest battle
takes place on the roof where two
legerdemen support a troll.
Despite the troll's power, its attacks
won 't shatter the roof, so you don't need to worry about the terrain changing
suddenly. Focus first on the legerdemen since they'll drop much faster than the troll
and their attacks come much quicker than the ponderous green monster.
When the final enemy falls, the chests below unlock. Get the Banner of Hope, but
don't be in a rush to leave the stronghold. Take a minute to gather lifetime supplies of
magic doors and treasure chests. It's not like there are any monsters left to complain
about larceny.
The treasure chest on the first floor
near the three dark skeletons has
Iron lnsot (x10). The chest In the
room lined with draconic columns
holds a bench.
The second-floor treasure chest
contains fur (x10). Ascend to the
third floor, then go outside for a chest with hclllnt crc1111 (xS) In it. This chest Is above the castle's entrance . The chest next to
the Banner of Hope contains stccl11bltons.
