Fighter Challenges

Bigalphillips: /* Toe-to-Toe */

The fighter's class challenges have no real overarching storyline or lesson, as the fighter itself doesn't really teach anything unique.

==Bleat It==

''Gorgons have broken into the Kingdom's petting zoo, spreading madness and petrification. Fight your way through the enraged goats and put an end to the gorgon leader!'' 
Monsters: Goats and Gorgons 
Boss: Medusa (Level 8) 
Recommended Race(s): Goblin

The strange thing about this challenge is there are only 15 gorgons (two per levels 1-7 and Medusa) and everything else is a level 1 goat. This level teaches you about maxing out your exp from popcorn. It provides free, non-convertable {{s|WONAFYT}} and {{s|IMAWAL}} glyphs, although those are the only glyphs that spawn. You really shouldn't really have much trouble beating Medusa. By level six or seven you should easily be able to kill her using your potions and your {{t|Death Protection}}.

==Toe-to-Toe==
''A particularly troublesome djinn thinks it's being smart by harassing our northern caravans with illusion magic and wild beasts. Mere guards cannot hope to defend against this: this matter needs someone made of sterner stuff.'' 
Monsters: All unlocked monsters and Desert Trolls 
Boss: Imadjinnius 
Recommended Preparations: Perseverance Badge
Recommended Race(s): Dwarf or Orc

This challenge is basically [[Northern Desert]] with different boss. Unfortunately the boss has {{t|Retaliate: Fireball}} so you are going to have to take every one of his 125 damage shots. The most important thing is the guaranteed {{s|GETINDARE}} spawn. Use to level up as much as possible, preferably to level 10. That's 180 hp as dwarf or 130 as an orc. Though potions, your {{t|Death Protection}}, a dodge (if you get lucky), and first strike. Beating this challenge will give you {{i|Platemail}}.

Another strategy is to use {{s|PISORF}} and knock the boss through walls. Suggested races for this strategy are gnome or orc, and useful items are the {{i|Crystal Ball}} and {{i|Trisword}}.

==The Arena==
''Okay Fighter, it's time to do what you do best! Can you survive the trials of the Quaking Arena and emerge as champion?'' 
Monsters: All unlocked monsters 
Boss: Mister Goat 
Recommended Preparations: Perseverance Badge, Health Potion, Mana Potion, Quicksilver Potion, Strength Potion, Can of Whupaz, Transmutation Seal 
Recommended Race(s): Goblin

You start with platemail. This dungeon consists of 9 waves. The 9th wave holds the boss Mister Goat. The next wave spawns when you beat the strongest monster from the previous one. The strongest monster in the first wave is always a snake. Each "mini-boss" holds a different glyph. The order of them is different every time but they will always be {{s|BURNDAYRAZ}}, {{s|BYSSEPS}}, {{s|ENDISWAL}}, {{s|GETINDARE}}, {{s|IMAWAL}}, {{s|LEMMISI}}, {{s|PISORF}}, and {{s|WONAFYT}}. In the corners of the arena are a {{i|Cracked Amulet}} a {{i|Sword}}, a {{i|Bear Mace}}, and a {{i|Slaying Wand}}. Save {{s|BURNDAYRAZ}}, {{s|BYSSEPS}}, and {{s|LEMMISI}} to whittle down the bosses resist through your extra tiles. Use the slayer wand on the level 9 "mini-boss". Save as many glyphs as possible for mid-fight level ups against the boss.

Winter is Coming

2014-09-21T16:55:49Z

Bigalphillips:

The '''''Winter is Coming''''' dungeon is the {{c|Assassin}} bronze [[Class Challenges|challenge]]. The boss is a {{m|Frozen Troll}} named Shard with nigh undefeatable might.

== Preparations ==
No preparations are allowed in this dungeon

== Resources Available ==
The dungeon will always have the {{s|IMAWAL}} and {{s|BYSSEPS}} glyphs, and has regular shops. There are no altars available for worship. You begin with a "contract" in your inventory that can be converted for 100 CP.

== Shard ==
The boss Shard is immensely powerful, with wicked damage, health, and resistances. However, he is only 7th level, meaning an 8th level Assassin can kill him instantly using ''swift hands''. As a result, the real challenge of this dungeon is leveling up from the other monsters.

== Strategy ==
The easiest approach to this dungeon is to play as a {{r|Goblin}}, allowing you to convert things for experience points. It's basically impossible to lose if you follow this route; simply explore the map, convert all the glyphs and the contract, then execute every monster with swift hands. There's enough XP to take you to level 8 even without buying items from the shops to convert. If you wish to win as other races you will need to aggressive pursue bonus experience. The best approach is to attack higher-level Meat Men using poison and petrify low-level Frozen Corpses or Frozen Trolls to multiply your earnings. If you have not yet unlocked goblins, your best option is to play as a {{r|Human}}. Even without the goblin, this is still one of the easiest challenges in the roster.
