===''Walkthrough by [https://www.gamefaqs.com/community/Mirrorstar/contributions Mirrorstar]''===
Notice that you start with a Chalice percentage of 12%. Some
farmers are being held captive. That percentage is for them.
If they are killed, or you kill them, it will reduce your
percentage.
 
As you walk forward, you soon find the FIRST BOOK.
 
You will notice to your left there are a bunch of chickens.
Chase the chickens to heard them out of their pen and move
them forward to a pile of corn. This corn is not far from
a drop into a void, which will drain your life meter so be
careful.
 
As the chickens eat up all of that pile of corn, a switch
will be revealed. This allows the switch to be lifted so the
drawbridge will open for you. Cross over on it.
 
As you enter the castle, speak with the GARGOYLE on the left
wall. You will find a door with a face painted on it, but
you cannot go that way yet. Jump up the stairs to the left,
but be careful not to fall into the void. This brings you to
the SECOND BOOK.
 
Walk all the way to the left to find the CHAOS RUNE. Be
careful not to fall into the void as not everywhere up here
is protected by a fence and the wall is old and worn. Then
return to the second book.
 
You can see the farmers below you. You cannot jump over the
fence to reach them. Walk to the right a little and you can
kill a Shadow Demon. You can also see the ones on guard
below you. Keep going to the right until you find an opening
in the fence where you can approach the guards. Once you
jump down, be prepared to run after the Shadow Demons as
they will all run to kill the farmers. There are three
guards. Make sure you target the ones in the lead first.
Kill them quickly. (I, personally, like to use the Spear to
kill them. It is possible to use the Magic Sword as well,
but then you have to catch up to them very quickly.)
 
If you look around the courtyard, near the farmers you find
a doorway. In the room, you find hot oil and you find you
need a rune. Falling into the oil drains what is in
your life meter. Leave this room.
 
In the courtyard itself, you see two gates and the painted
door. They are all closed. Near the gate, which is near the
switch in the floor, you find a BAG OF COINS.
 
At the farmers, each one has a fire under him. Equip the
Hammer or Club. Hit each fire three times with the Hammer or
Club to put out the fire. When all the fires are out, stand
on the switch in the floor so the farmers can drop down and
run away from here. Standing on the switch also causes both
gates and the painted door to open.
 
Follow the farmers through the painted door to return to
where you fed the chickens. Each one presents you with a
chest of coins. So, for three farmers, you get THREE CHESTS
OF COINS. (If, for some reason, you do not save all three,
you get one less chest of coins for each one that died.)
 
Cross back over the drawbridge and go through the painted
door to return to the courtyard. Go through the gate near
the switch in the floor. To the right you find a pool of hot
oil and the THIRD BOOK. Falling into the oil drains what is
in your life meter.
 
Go up the steps and up the ramp. This puts you on the outer
wall. Go to the left and up the next ramp to find a BAG OF
COINS, a BAG OF COINS and the Chalice which you cannot
collect until later. Walk down the ramp and continue along
the outer wall while being careful not to fall into the
void. On the wall you will find an ENERGY VIAL. Walk back
and walk down the ramp and down the two steps. Go back
through the gate to the courtyard.
 
Run to the other end of the courtyard and go through that
gate. As you enter, be careful as there are three cannons
which keep firing. Once beyond the cannons, you find a
closed gate, a MERCHANT GARGOYLE, and a stack of crates.
 
Jump up the stack of crates so you can reach the wall. Then,
go to the right to find an ENERGY VIAL and a dead end. Go
back and go the other way. You will find another ENERGY
VIAL. Keep going along the wall until you can go down some
steps.
 
Not far from the steps is a small stack of crates which you
can use to jump up onto the wall. This allows you to reach
an ENERGY VIAL and another ENERGY VIAL. Then, drop down off
of the wall and you will be at a GARGOYLE. Do not worry
about the gate there. Return to the steps where you
originally came down into this area.
 
With the Gargoyle in the distance and in front of you, go
to the right. As you walk, take note of a set of stairs,
with a red hand near them, to the left. But, keep walking as
far as you can. Then, to the left, you should find a chest
with a SILVER SHIELD. Return to that set of stairs and walk
into the red hand to use the Chaos Rune which opens the
gate.
 
Be careful not to fall into the void. Walk across the wooden
bridge while being careful not to be hit with the fire as it
will set you on fire. To the left, you will see the FOURTH
BOOK.
 
Then, walk into the entrance to the Throne room. Inside, you
will find the FIFTH BOOK.
 
Approach the throne. The floor will drop out from under you,
dropping you into another level. (The floor will only do
this once.) Follow the path and do not drop into the void.
Once you have a choice of direction, go left and through the
doorway.
 
Be careful of the fires in this room as they can set you on
fire. Take KING PEREGRIN'S CROWN. You can also find a BAG OF
COINS. Read the SIXTH BOOK.
 
Leave the room. Walk the path to the right and keep going
until you can go through another doorway. Here you find a
FOUNTAIN. Walk to the left to exit this room.
 
This puts you next to the entrance to the Throne room. Go
back into the entrance to the Throne Room. Approach the
throne again and use King Peregrin's Crown from your
inventory to summon him to his throne. Do this only after
you are sure you are done exploring.
 
You will be dumped into a fighting area. If the castle is
destroyed with you in it, you will return to this point,
though your life meter will be drained. So, in that respect,
it is like falling into a void.
 
Here you can pick up the EARTH RUNE. To the left, you will
see a switch. Hit it to start the countdown to the
destruction of the castle. You can see the timer in the
lower left. When you hit the switch, you will also activate
the two, stone Golems.
 
You cannot hurt the stone Golems with your weapons. You need
to use your weapon and you need to walk into the stone
Golems to guide the stone Golems close to the upper edge so
they can fall into the void. Work on one at a time. The
stone Golems can spit a hurtful substance. They turn around
easily, so pushing them is not easy. I like to equip the
Dragon Armor and use its fire breath to push the stone
Golems. You may want to equip a different weapon when you
are done.
 
Once you defeat them, the gate will open on the right, so
go that way. Pass the cannons and go through the gate to
return to the courtyard. Enter the doorway near where the
farmers were being held. Inside that room, walk into the
green hand to use the Earth Rune. Exit the room. Go through
the gate near the switch in the floor.
 
Jump up the two steps and run up the two ramps to reach the
CHALICE. Run back down the two ramps and the steps. Then,
run to the right across where the hot oil used to be, but
now is not because you used the Earth Rune. You will find
the SEVENTH BOOK.
 
At the exit, you will find a CHEST OF COINS, another CHEST
OF COINS and yet another CHEST OF COINS. After you take
them, back up and look for a switch to the right. Hit it to
watch the catapult fire a rock. Then, jump onto the end of
the catapult so it will fire you over the wall.
