Exploring Terra
If you prefer to just start exploring Terra you can refer to the Map Details here which calls out how much MGT or Thievery is required to foil defenses and which spells are blocked all together.

Go Back to Fountain Head
Rest, Outfit, Train, Bank
10,3 Buy Energy Blast from Guild
Next up, we need to take out Bugaboo(2) which is not trivial but I was able to do it at Level 6 without any issue. Energy Blast is key as they are resistant to all other magic and they have AC 15. Let's meet up back in the Cyclops Cavern when you are Level 6+ Use the monster spawn points if you like.
18,28 Take the Path North
18,30 Clear Bugaboo (2)
You can step back shoot all the way down to 18,23 since you cleared it already. Use Energy Blast as well once you get into turn-based combat.
17,31 Sorcerer Spell: Jump
19,31 Sorcerer Spell: Acid Stream
Now you have 50,000 gold which eliminates the early game gold limitations. You also have Jump.. which will make the Fountain Head Cavern less annoying.
Early GAME
This order is viable and is the order that I used to progress through the game. You will need to do your own mapping as I am providing coordinates of key locations. Take a look at our Mapping page for details on some tools to assist with the mapping process. Sacred Silver Skulls are abbreviated as SSS. Be sure to use the Temporary Boosts that you have found, see the list on our Party page.

Middle Game
Now that you have explored the towns, the quickest way to get around the surface map is to use the portal mirror in town. Once you pick up Walk on Water you can also use that to get around, just keep in mind it takes 2.5 hours in game time walking 16 steps to cross a map. You will continue to find Ancient Artifacts of Evil, Good and Neutrality. You need to start turning them in at the castles so they do not clog up your inventory.

There is a teleport tile at 12,17 which will teleport you to the Mummy King room if the levers are set properly. Relative to 12,17 you should have granite heads NW, SW, NE, and NW with electric fields N, W, S, and E if you have done the levers properly. You can use Jump to reach 12,17 without getting a jolt. Remember, bandages burn.

Late Game
Late game includes some of the hardest dungeons and you will also spend time collecting some of the best gear. You will spend a lot of gold to raise many levels. Use the temporary boosts that suit your next task and always grab the silver hp bars from one of the HP boosts. Take the time to process through all the new gear you are accumulating and equip upgrades. Make sure you are not fighting with broken gear. If your fighters can’t hit a foe even with Heroism active, go for Implosion.

Here is the pulling strategy that I used to clear the room enough to get to all the loot. The green 4 spot is actually a few separate pulls, not all 6 mummies at once. Once the green Mummies are clear you can teleport to 5 from the slightly darker green Mummy spot. The front 2 Liches need to die but the middle 3 Liches can be ignored if you teleport past them.

There are trapped Chests and Teleport tiles in here to say the absolute least. This is a treacherous dungeon to map because the minotaur are deadly and very hard to kill. You will need to dump your spell points for each encounter through Heroism, Heals, and Implosion at least. Then you town portal, train, fix, rest, buff, and Lloyd's back (outside) for one or two more encounters. Repeat.
Conversely, if you know the coordinates, you can use 3x Teleports to reach the center for the Ultimate Adventurer award with no combat. Similarly, the Hologram Sequence Card 006 is also reachable with another teleport from the center, with no combat. Town Portal out... there are enough King's Ultimate Power Orbs elsewhere to complete the game. If you want to collect all the orbs, see above.
