As Dan (and the genie [[Al-Zalam]]) rise from his dais, he will be addressed by the snarky [[gargoyle]]s on either side of the hall. They don't think he will succeed in his new mission, but they certainly welcome him to try. Grab the [[Throwing Daggers]] and [[Small Sword]] just ahead.

In all versions, one can equip Dan with a [[Club]] or the [[War Hammer]] to smash the off-colour wall. The goodies in here may include some gold, [[Energy Vial]]s, or another Life Bottle. Exit the same way as before, and Dan will complete the level with a coveted green check mark.
Equip Dan with a [[Club]] or the [[War Hammer]] to smash the off-colour wall. The goodies in here may include some gold, [[Energy Vial]]s, or a [[Life Bottle]], which increases Dan's energy reserves by 300 units and therefore counts as one extra life . Exit the same way as before, and Dan will complete the level with a coveted green check mark.
 
In ''Resurrection'', there is another off-colour wall; smash this one to reveal a hidden mummy. Beat it to fill the [[Chalice of Souls]] for the area. The [[Spade]] from [[Return to the Graveyard]] will help dig it out.
