B4 Walkthrough

Corak's Notes on B4:

Once this region was tormented by a marauding band of Ogres that operated out of Locust Grove, but they were driven away by the King Chaotic. Only insects remain to make trouble for explorers of the southern region. Seek out and destroy their nests to rid the area of their presence.

Monsters in the area: Magic Mantises, Oh No Bugs.

First of all, I have no idea where these nests that Corak is talking about in his notes would be: In my version of the game there were no monster lairs in this area, and the monsters didn't re-appear after I defeated them. A bug, perhaps? Whatchu talkin' 'bout, Corak?

Whatever the reason, the absence of lairs makes this a pretty straightforward area. Just go where ever you want, and kill any monster that gets in your way. Be sure to pick up the many treasures on the way, though. To find these treasures, start at Castle Blood Reign and go:

* 1 space west and 8 spaces south for 2500 gold and 1 random item;
* 3 spaces south for 5000 gold and 1 random item;
* 1 space west and 1 space north for 10000 gold and 1 random item.

The mountain range in the northeast is called Artifact Point, and it's called that for a reason. In those mountains, there are three spots where you can find a random item. You will find that these particular random items will be extremely powerful, so don't miss them. Their exact locations:

* 6 spaces north of Wildabar;
* 6 spaces east of Castle Blood Reign;
* 3 spaces north and 4 spaces west of Castle Blood Reign.
