The Metal Age is a special dungeon that serves as the Class: Thief Thief silver challenge.

Preparations

No preparations are allowed in this challenge.

Special Rules

The map contrains "trapped chests". These chests deal damage and always strike first, so you need to find a way to survive them. Each chest contains a different glyph:

(todo list)

The Boss

The boss is a level 9 Guard Captain (ATK 75/HP 480). It's identical to several other Level 9 guards around, so be careful. This is good, though, because if he had pumped up boss stats, this would be impossible. This captain is the only guard with dialogue, so make sure that you are always keeping track of where he is. He's easy to lose in the crowd.

Strategy

Get ready to do this level over, and over, and over. The basic strategy is:

  • Get LEMMISI and WEYTWUT;
  • Accumulate enough attack bonuses that you can kill two level 2 guards without using more than two or three potions;
  • Carefully work your way up levels with the help of WEYTWUT and IMAWAL's experience bonuses;
  • Deal with the Guard Captain.

LEMMISI is nearly useless, as you'll have to do a fair deal of exploring to acquire powerups initially. WEYTWUT, on the other hand, is precious.
