Cave of Shudom





The Cave of Shudom

(Orladins Disciple)

Primary Goals:

Items of Special Interest:

1 - The Cave of Shudom combines mechanisms, long range attacks, lava, jumps and drops, and narrow paths. You can die very easily here and quickly unless you are careful. Speed is NOT recommended to the new player.

2 - The creatures you will encounter are all pretty tough to take out, except the skeletal ones. Clay Golems are resistant to most attacks, except stabbing ones (Rapier and the Bow are great against them). The Promeus Golem can hurl Stones at you and takes a LOT of damage to kill, but drops a piece of Promeus for later use. The Guards hurl darkness/lethargy attacks that will darken your vision and SLOW you down. They also hit very hard. Garths line many walls and shoot Stones at you. Their positions makes walking the narrow paths above the Lava River very difficult indeed.

3 - The best items to gain are the Magicians Key, The Black Jewel (+20 Earth Power) and Promeus.

4 - There is a 'Sleeping Giant' Skeleton blocking a path in the Lower South East area. There is a task you must complete before he moves the boulder for you. It would be a good idea to visit him at least once before you kill off everything in this area. He has some interesting things to say that you will miss if you kill everything before reaching him.

Shudom's Cave Walkthrough

I Strongly suggest you make your way immediately to the Save point located just South West of the Center of the Map. It is the easiest to get to and is a good place to work from when exploring the Cave system. You can kill Skeletal creatures pretty quickly by now, but the Guards and the Golems will take a long time. You can shorten the time on the Golems by using the Bow or Rapier, but that does not work against the Promeus Golem.

The Gables (wall hugging Stone shooters) are best dealt with by the bow. The ideal is to have a lot of Arrows from Lyn to take them out.

Make your way to meet Ungrund to receive Earth Magic and Spell(s), talk to the Skeleton of the Giant by the Great Boulder, complete his task, and you will be granted access to the final room, the Earth Spirit Memorial. Search the entire room carefully and METHODICALLY. You can easily miss an item or two if you do not. Go back through, open the Magicians Chests you had to pass y, and then head for Ralugo.
