Level 5-Ancient Catacombs I
The Town Directory at the start of this level reads: "North, Shops South, Training Area West, Tavern East, Catacomb Enterance Switch of the Dead must remain off or evil we become."
As it says, if you don't want to be attacked by the locals, don't flip the Switch of the Dead! Except, something fun to do, make sure you don't care if you die, then flip the switch, and go straight to the training grounds and fight something. Watch and see...

First of all, go West and talk to the Undead Wizard: "Ah, a member of the living, I am in need of your service. Will you help me?" Reply "Yes" "Oh good! Now where to start....You see, I am... make that was... an apprentice of Lichtan. He intrusted me with his deepest secrets and now I fear, no...now I know he has gone too far. He is working for the mighty Aries to raise an army powerful enough to kill all life on this earth. Unfortunately I, nor any other member of the undead, can defeat him. He controls all of us in one way or another."
*Another voice comes from out of nowhere* "Oh Traitor of the unwordly, you shale die for your treachery." *The Lich you were talking to vanishes in a puff of smoke.*
Exit chat and then go back East to the start point Now you can safely flip the Switch of the Dead on
Go East and hit the Bridge Lock on Go East twice into a Fight: 2 Skeletons
Flick the Bridge Lock Off and then go North and flip the switch. Go East and hit another switch (as you can probably guess, this is the infamous Switch Maze)
Go North and then East flipping both switches on the way, then go South and hit that switch.
Go West and North, flip the switch on - do not at this point flip OFF any switches you come across
Go North and then West, flipping the switches, South, flick the switch, then go East, North and East again, flip the switch.
Now go West twice, South and West once more and walk right and unsuspecting into a Fight: 1 Ghoul
Now you will be getting hurt from the spring that is here, but it isnt much to worry about
Hit the Switch to Four Times and then go South, Hit the Bridge Lock on and go South twice into another Fight: 1 Zombie Lord
Hit the Trap Switch to on and read the letter: "So a member of the flesh wishes to see the all powerful. Be warned you must pass three tests of the undead before you may pass. First is the test of fortitude: Go to the west and talk to the undead knight there and he will challenge all that you hold dear. Second is the test of Wisdom: Go to the East and you will Find yourself trapped in a puzzle with no hope of getting out. Third is the test of Time. Only those who understand it's ways will pass. Travel south and open your heart to death."
So we go West to talk to the Glowing Knight. He'll ask you if you are ready, answer: "Yes" and the Fight will start The first three opponents are Zombies, number four is a Zombie Lord. They come one at a time but a word of warning here: Use potions and conserve spell points, if you use the 'W' or 'R' buttons in between these fights, you will die.
Once you have killed all the opponents, and still call for more, the Knight will say: "Well done my child, you prove yourself to be full of fortitude, you may continue with your quest" and award you 2000 exp.
NOW you can use the rest buttons.
Go East twice, there is a poem here: "Every day of every month we see things New images grace our eyes and our hearts Everything we do brings happiness anew Everyone we love and everyone we knew; Sometimes we just have to sit down And accept that which we are given And hold dear to those that we knew" The First letter of each line corresponds to the first step of your directions. The last letters are the next step.
So go East, North, East twice, and South into a Fight: 1 Zombie Lords
Flip the Switch of Wisdom on and then go South twice, West twice, North twice and West. Now for the third of those tests, go West and then South Use the 'W' and 'R' buttons to get the time to 8:00, and a switch will appear, hit it and go South into a Fight: 2 Skeletons
The next switch appears at 12:00, so wait for that and then go South again to Fight: 1 Zombie Lord
Now we must wait until 15:00 At this time, a switch appears. Flip it to experience and go West for a Fight: 1 Ghoul
Now there appears to be no way out, but wait until 19:00 and then flip the Switch of Death that appears. Go West and North and Fight: 2 Skeletons and then 1 Zombie
Go North and talk to the Dread Knight: "Ah at last, the hero of flesh shows up! I hope my simple traps weren't too harsh on thee. I fear that my goodness in life is far too strong for the evil bestowed inside of me by Lichtan. I must help thee avenge that which he has done to me and countless others like myself. All I know is that in less than a fortnight from now, he will use his power over the undead and shed blood over the earth. You must prevent this from happening. You must travel deeper into these catacombs and kill Lichtan, but you must not stop there, you must find Aries and kill him!" Choose: "I am ready to die now" and Fight: 1 Dread Knight
