Walkthrough by Bermy

This is one of the longer quests in the game. First, we need to head to the Ivory Cave, which is located to the south and east of Swaffham. When you arrive at the forest area, take the first fork north to run into an old man that will give you the map of the area. Now head south and into the cave.

03:41 - Ivory Cave
This first cave is very short. You must use the White Key to unlock the gate at the entrance. Once on the other side of the gate, immediately head north and follow the path to pick up the floor map. Now all you have to do is head over to the gate in the top left portion of the map. Before you proceed through the gate, I highly recommend that you are at least level 21 as this gives you enough STR and HP to survive the next fight.

08:12 - Dark Demon (Boss)
The demon bosses are the hardest bosses in the game in my opinion. They can fly over you, land on top of you and then hit you with fire breath, all of which do substantial damage. You can run under them to avoid taking some damage, but you then have no way of doing damage since you can't turn around. I find it quicker and easier to just back up into the left corner and swing like crazy. Hopefully, you kill the Dark Demon before it kills you (and you should).

After you kill the Dark Demon, collect the White Crystal and return it to the King in Swaffham. He will now send you to collect the Red Crystal from the Ruby Cave. Rest up in another towns Inn and return to Swaffham. Now take the path to the west, then south at the fork in the road. (You guessed it, we will be coming back to the other dungeon later).

16:14 - Ruby Cave
This dungeon has 2 levels, but isn't any harder to navigate. On the first floor, use the Red Key to unlock the gate, then travel north to the next floor. On this floor, take the first fork north and then travel south at the next fork, to end up back on the first floor. Now head west at the fork to pick up the floor map. Now head towards the other ladder located in the middle of this floor.

On this floor, take 2 lefts at the forks and follow the path all the way to the bottom left dead end where you will find the floor map. Now work your way towards the gate on the right side of the map. Like the Ivory Cave, be sure you are fully healed and prepared for the next demon boss.

22:05 - Blood Demon (Boss)
This fight is exactly the same as the Dark Demon, so utilize the same strategy that you used and you should be just fine.

After you kill the Blood Demon, collect the Red Crystal and return it to the King in Swaffham. He will now send you to collect the Blue Crystal from the Sapphire Cave. Rest up in another towns Inn and return to Swaffham. Now take the path to the west, then north at the fork in the road.

29:22 - Sapphire Cave
This dungeon is much more complex to navigate, having 5 separate floors. When you first enter, use the Blue Key to unlock the gate. Take the path north at the fork taking the ladder to the next floor. On this floor, you will run into a chest that contains the floor map before you reach the next ladder. You can backtrack now as the next ladder leads you to a dead end.

Now go south at the fork and take the other ladder. Take the first fork north up a ladder, then follow the path to the top of the screen. It doesn't really matter which path you take, but the forks heading south will lead you to a dead end containing the floor map. Head back to the ladder you came to this floor on and continue all the way around to the other ladder, following the left and north walls.

On this floor, follow the only path available to the next ladder. Now follow this path all the way around until you get right above where the initial ladder is on the map. Turn to the small gap in the wall on the east side and there will be a floor map for you to collect. Turn around and head up the ladder behind you. Follow this path around and head south, but do not go up the next ladder just yet. Instead follow the path east to pick up another floor map, then backtrack to the ladder you just passed.

On this floor, loop around and head north at the first fork up the next ladder. Head to the western wall, then north to the gate. Behind the gate you will find a Critical Sword, which you should equip. Backtrack down to the prior floor and follow the path west to a different ladder. Follow this path around and head through the gate you come across to pick up the floor map before you continue around and up to the next floor. Here, head to the gate, and heal up before proceeding through to the boss.

46:43 - Gray Demon (Boss)
This fight is exactly the same as the other demons, so utilize the same strategy that you used and you should be just fine. When defeated, head back to Swaffham where the King finally rewards you with the Ring of Earth (kinda).
