    Be careful of falling down into the green slime as that will drain what is in your life meter.
     
    As you enter, follow the path. Be aware that some of the
    Shadow Demons are flying around in this room. Once you come
    to a choice of directions, notice the Chalice is to the
    left, but go to the right. At a cave entrance, you will find
    a GARGOYLE. Speak with it.
     
    As you try to enter the cave, you will see two, large
    crystals block it. You can smash these open easily. One
    holds a BAG OF COINS and the other holds an Imp. As you
    enter the cave, you will see you can go in two possible
    directions. Go to the right.
     
    Remember you can kill bats, but they do not increase your
    Chalice percentage.
     
    The next room has another Imp trapped in a crystal as well
    as a thief Imp which is wandering around the room. (Remember
    that if an Imp is not holding a torch, it can steal from
    you. Kill the Imp to retrieve your item if it is stolen.)
    Go to the left. You will notice a spinning crystal. Beware
    of its beams. Walk in the same direction it moves, dodging
    from side to side as necessary, and pick up the BAG OF COINS
    and the EARTH RUNE. Then, leave this room.
     
    With the room where you found the Earth Rune to your left,
    go forward. You will find more Imps in crystal, as well as
    Rhinotaurs. Take note that the Rhinotaurs will free
    themselves from the crystals if you get close to them. You
    also will find a chest with a skull and crossbones. Feel
    free to open it for the time bomb which will kill a couple
    enemies for you.
     
    Walk up onto the path of gray rock. In a crystal with a
    Rhinotaur, you find a SILVER SHIELD. Near there, you find a
    BAG OF COINS. Drop back down onto the tan colored floor.
    Then, go to the right and go up.
     
    You should enter a room with several levels. Go to the left
    to pick up a BAG OF COINS. On the next level, to the far
    right, you will find a FOUNTAIN. Be careful of the thief
    Imp. On the top level, on the far left, you will find a
    MERCHANT GARGOYLE. On the far right, you will find the
    FIRST BOOK.
     
    Walk into the green hand to use the Earth Rune which will
    open up the gate. In this next room, smash open a crystal to
    the left to pick up a CHEST OF COINS. You should see a
    waterfall. Walk into and past it.
     
    This next room has four levels of ground. Mentally, number
    them from one to four from left to right. You start out on
    level 1. Read the SECOND BOOK there.
     
    On level 1, you also find a BAG OF COINS, an ENERGY VIAL, a
    BAG OF COINS, and a CHEST OF COINS. Make a running jump
    across to the lowest level over on the right to jump to
    level 4. On level 4, you find a BAG OF COINS. Jump up to
    level 3 to get a BAG OF COINS, an ENERGY VIAL, a BAG OF
    COINS, a CHEST OF COINS and the STAR RUNE. Jump up to level
    2 to get a BAG OF COINS, a CHEST OF COINS, and a BAG OF
    COINS. Then, drop back down to level 1.
     
    Equip your Hammer and use it on the ground. Notice the
    ceiling falls on level 2. This is how you fight the Dragon.
    You cannot hurt the Dragon with your weapons. You must cause
    the ceiling to fall on his head.
     
    Hit the ground on level 1 to hit level 2.
    Hit the ground on level 2 to hit level 3.
    Hit the ground on level 3 to hit level 4.
    Hit the ground on level 4 to hit level 1.
     
    On level 1, you should see the face of a Dragon on the wall.
    Stand in front of it and use the Dragon Gem from your
    inventory. You will use one. You then have to use the other
    Dragon Gem from your inventory. This will summon the Dragon.
     
    The Dragon sticks just his head out of the holes on the
    different levels. He starts on level 2. He moves to level 3,
    then to level 4, then to level 1, then back to level 2, etc.
    Use the time in-between his attacks to try to move to an
    appropriate level so that you can bring the ceiling down
    onto his head. Be careful of his fire as it sets you on fire
    and you burn for awhile before the flames go out.
     
    Once you defeat the Dragon, you will see he leaves an object
    behind. Walk into it to take the DRAGON ARMOR. As he said,
    it will protect you from fire. This means you can walk
    through fire. It also means if you are set on fire, if you
    equip the Dragon Armor, it will put out the fire. It allows
    you to attack with fire. It cannot be powered up with the
    Square button. When you equip the Dragon Armor, it will
    unequip your shield. However, you can still equip your
    shield.
     
    Return to level 1 and exit. From as you walk through the
    waterfall, go to the right. This leads you into a room which
    has monsters trapped in crystals. It also has some bats. As
    you walk farther into this room, you find a pool of water.
    Do not fall into it as it will drain what is in your life
    meter. Walk around it to the left, but do not settle on one
    spot. You will notice some of the floor sinks as you are on
    it. Stay on such places long enough and you will be sinking
    all the way into the pool. Pick up a BAG OF COINS. (To be
    extra safe, you may want to make walking jumps over those
    pieces of the floor. They are visibly different from the
    rest of the floor.) At the exit to the room, make a walking
    jump to the right to get another BAG OF COINS. Then jump
    back and enter the next room.
     
    There are more monsters in crystals here and all but the
    last one free themselves. You find a CHEST OF COINS in a
    crystal with a Rhinotaur. Walk through this room of crystals
    and drop down the slide at the end.
     
    You should see the spinning crystal in front of you. Go left
    and into the next room. Then, go to the right. Walk into the
    yellow hand to use the Star Rune. The floor should rise so
    you can cross. (Dropping down onto the floor before it is
    raised is like dropping into a void.) Kill the enemies here
    and you should be able to collect the Chalice. Be careful
    of the thief Imp.
     
    Walk back to where you used the Star Rune. With the Star
    Rune behind you, walk forward into the next room and go to
    the right to return to the very first room. Follow the path.
    When you reach a choice, go to the right and you will find
    the CHALICE.
     
    Return to where you used the Star Rune. Cross over again and
    leave this level.
