                |  Wisiting the village Dew.....   |
                |__________________________________|

                enemies with your sword and you get important experience
                points.

                The inhabitants of Dew live in fear of a strange being
                called Bogarda. There are rumors which tells what the
                being really is, and Willow has to find the truth to
                free Dew. On you mission the free Dew you have to get
                experience and new equipment which you need later.

                One of the inhabitants gives you a wodden shield. Talk 
                to the chief when you have the shield.
                
                The chief in Dew is very suspicious to strangers, but
                you better talk to him, because he might tell you
                something very use full.

                The old man doesen't only heal your wounds. He can also
                make veapon of dragonscurf.

                When you have done this, move on to the northern wood 
                which lies north of the town.

                When you have killed, go back to the village and talk
                to the blacksmith and then move on to the western wood.

                You can get the little steel shield in the cave in the 
                western wood.
                
                When you have been in the Dragon cave, go back to the 
                village and get the dragon shield and dragon sword. 
                 
                EQUIPMENT:

                wodden shield, golden statue, little steel shield,

                |__________________________________|

                You need the battlesword to kill Bogarda. Hit him
                until he is out of energy. The healing axe doesen't
                word in Bogardas cave.

                look out for the zombie so that doesen't transform you 
                into a grunting pig.

                |___________________________________|
