Tips and Misc

• There are two shrines, one about 1/2 in, and one just before the final boss encounter.
• The secret area where Guard Jung's badge is was unreachable by a character with 12 strength (brute force required to open the gate); a 14 is sufficient. You can also get in by climbing over the crates. When you open the door (whether from the inside or outside), 2 spiders spawn in the near hallway.
