Mercator & the Crypt
 |
From the crossroads, head towards Mercator. At the bend, go up-left and continue until you reach Mercator. You can get in with the Safety Pass. The guard will ask for a fee of 200 Gold though. You can pay it or not, but the info he gives for paying is just about Greenpea's, which can make Nigel a rich man. Check out one of Tibor's Trees next to the castle and then enter. |
| There is a lot in this town, and half of it is very unimportant. Although Greenpea's is very helpful. If you feel lucky, and are good enough, go to Greenpea's and make up to 400 Gold at a time. If you make 1600 Gold from him, he will get mad and not stop Nigel from playing it anymore. Make around 480 Gold. Go to the Discount Shop and buy the Steel Breast, which offers more protection than the Leather Breast. Also, if you have a chance, purchace the Bell. The Bell will ring when there is a Life Stock in the scene. |

Talk to the castle guards and they will not let Nigel inside unless he has been invited by the Duke. Head back to the entrance area and talk to this boy in the pic staring into the window. Then talk to the girl right beside the building. Go inside and talk to the man with the eyepatch. He will not let you into Madam Yard's and asks Nigel to leave. Exit and follow the moat to the lower right part to the outside castle. Meet a little girl there. Talk to here and you will see 2 men exit the castle, the one in red saying that he is going to Madam Yard's. |
| Head back to Madam Yard's. The clerk will get mad again. Talk to one of the women and she will say to go to the Fortune Teller. Go there and she will change you to look older. You will now look exactly like Pockets?! Anyways, enter Madam Yard's. Talk to the Clerk and he will give Nigel a 1 day free membership. One of the women takes him upstairs, where Friday gets mad and changes Nigel back to himself. The woman then says that this is a Ballet Studio. Friday then appologizes. Exit the room. |

Once you get out, the knight in red comes out and pulls Nigel to his room. He challenges Nigel to a duel. Press any button to swing the sword. It will hit Arther and he will give up. He says that he will invite Nigel to the castle to keep the secret safe. He says that the Duke has been looking for good mercanaries. Head to the castle. When you enter, go left-up to the next scene. Go near the wall and jump on the tree and Friday will say that she sees something falling. It is a Blue Ribbon. Nigel will grab it. |
| Go back and enter the castle. The butler will take Nigel to mee with the Duke. 2 other men are there, Dexter and Zak. He talks of a banquet tonight and will tell them of their assignment. He then leaves. Exit and a maid will escourt Nigel to his room. The castle is really not worth exploring, though there is a Life Stock in the kitchen. Go to the entrance hall and go down-right. Climb the stairs and talk to Arthur. Go to the kitch and talk to the woman at the door. She says that the party is ready and to go to the banquet room. |

Go to the banquet room. Nigel will be seated and the Duke will talk about an evil magician. He talks about him a bit and then says that they are to put a stop to him. Just then, Mr. Ludwig comes in and plays the Piano (a nice tune might I add). When he is done, he asks questions, which gets the Duke mad and throws him out. The Duke then leaves. Go and talk to Arthur again. He will say that in order to enter Mir's Tower, you have to get the Armlet from the cript beside the church. Go back to your room and sleep for the night. Friday will talk a bit then quiet up. |
| Save at the church and head to the house beside it. Go down the stairs and into the crypt. Enter the first door you see and read the riddle. The cryptmaster will come out and explain what Nigel has to do. He must solve 8 riddles correctly. When a riddle is solved, the torch will go out. This part at first took me a long time to complete, but it really isn't that hard to figure out. This next part will tell you the answers to all 8 riddles. |

#1 Betsy Ross: Kill Bubbles, White, Red, Yellow #2 Ruby Silent: Just stand and wait a while #3 Jack Skywalker: Jump up stairs at lower right and walk right until hear sound. #4 Maria Hysterica: Kill the monster with a boulder. #5 Jim Bright: Move button beside torch and press. #6 Larson E: Just stand and wait a while #7 Dirk the Dark: Kill dark Skeleton #8 Whodini: Move box to grave. Jump on grave and walk forward into wall. |
| After completing all 8, head to the raft. The mummy then says that there are more riddles on the other side. Enter the room 'Dead and End'. Dexter is there and is killed by a fireball. Read the riddle and then try to navigate the fireball to the doorway to open it. Inside is a Mummy. You cannot hurt it physically. If you attack to the right side of the Mummy, you can attack its spirit. Keep attacking it quickly and it will die and will leave the Armlet behind. Go out and take the raft back to town. Now you are ready to go to Mir's Tower. |

But before you head to Mir's Tower, find the shop that went out of business. Talk to the man and he will ask Nigel if he should open a drugstore, or a variety store. Tell him to open a drugstore. The variety store sells lots of useless crap, while the drugstore sells items that can really help you in the game. He gives Nigel a Buyer's Card. Go to the Harbor and to the warehouse. Pick up the items and take them to the counter. When all are gone, go to the newly opened Drug Store. Buy what you need. |
