That brats sidekick in the castle threw me in the prison dungeon and stole all my items.

Then that white cate came and let me out and gave me my items back..but now i cant get out of this stinking dungeon, becouse the enemys are to hard and im out of potions..

..i reached 3 pillars with a teleport device between them..but when i press 1 pillar a monster is summoned...i guess when i killed all 3 i can teleport out.

TO BAD IM ALL OUT OF POTIONS HUH?!

what to do? this feels stupid.

Hello! You're almost to the exit of the dungeon! Using the teleporter where you are stuck isn't necessary, it will just save you a little bit of walking. Check out this map: Iona's Dungeon Level 1

As you can see, you don't have far to go. Just book it to the exit if you really can't fight anymore. You can always come back and clear out the dungeon when you're stronger. There's also a health shrine near the exit if you're being attacked by mobs of skeletons.

That teleporter pad will be activated once you click on all 3 pyramids (don't recall if you have to defeat the summoned monsters), which will bring you close to the exit. However, you can also just keep heading west to reach it. Here is a map of that level (the lower levels of the dungeon are optional, and you can return when you are stronger, and have your teleporter stones back).

There are health and mana shrines in the dungeon, which refill after awhile, so you can clear a few monsters, retreat to heal, get a little further, etc.

In the castle did you wash the dishes for the cook? If so, the strange spice bottle he gave you is actually a shadow potion, which would allow you to sneak past some opponents (until you got too close to a light source or had to open a door). A frog statuette can also be used to run past a lot of the monsters (other statuettes will at least change your alignment, so you may be able to walk by without getting attacked).

Hit and run tactics with a bow could help you to defeat stronger opponents while limiting your chances of taking damage.


Do you have any spare skill points?

The skill Survivor's Instinct will allow you to slowly regenerate your health. It would be a bit of a pain waiting after battle if you took a lot of damage, but I found the skill to be handy to top off hit points when returning to base to drop off loot or checking with merchants, etc.

If you cast Heaven's Gift until you run out of mana, a regular restoration potion (or a health and mana potion combined with Alchemy) will fully refill your mana, leaving everything else created as profit. You need level 2 or 3 of Heaven's Gift to get regular potions, but as long as you start with a reasonable amount of mana, you should be able to cast the spell repeatedly, and (slowly) build up a supply of potions.


Once you have a couple health or restoration potions, there is a cheat you can use to get more.
To duplicate any items that can be stacked, drag a stack out of (or into) your inventory (or container) and hold down the control key before dropping. This will bring up the split stack window; type in a negative number and hit enter (the checkmark will be greyed out). This can also be done in the trade window.

Thanks to both of you. The map was very useful and im now out of there.

And the "little trick" of splitting potions will come in very handy on my travels wink

Actually, I traded crappy loot for potions when checking merchants or selling stuff, etc, and managed to build up a supply much larger than I needed (had to stash some periodically at my base, to keep their weight down). At the start of the game I used meat / bread for healing and chicken for mana, in order to conserve health and mana potions. Eventually carrying extra food around was more trouble than it was worth, and restoration potions became more effective than health and mana potions.
