2. Select the black wand (click text in other colors to show maps, monster, and item info)

Part 1: Neopia City

★ Rapidly click the compass arrows to move quickly. You will move 1 tile each time an arrow is clicked, so you may move and turn in multiple directions by clicking the arrows in sequence before the page reloads.

★ Your health is fully restored when you gain a level. Minimize potion use when close to leveling up. Otherwise, use them as you see fit both in and out of battle. They are commonly dropped.

★ Boraxis (northwest city tile) will heal you for free (and is the only NPC that will do so). There are no rest points or shops in Neoquest 1, but you will find NPCs that will trade for equipment.

★ If you want to go somewhere quickly, set your movement type to sneaking (5% or less encounter rate). If you want to train, set it to hunting (40% encounter rate). There's no need for normal (10% encounter rate).

★ Throughout the game, you'll often have a choice between two pieces of armour. They will both provide the same defence points, but may have different special bonuses or abilities. These extras usually do not activate often enough to sway your decision one way or the other. Create whichever one you find materials for first.

After upgrading your weapon, upgrade your armour. It only takes a minute or two to reach the desert if you are spamming the movement arrows. Leave the Jungle ruins by returning to the base level; there is a patch of grass that acts as an exit. Go west of Neopia City. Pass through the swamp. Go south to the desert.

1. Find materials for either of the following armour items, then create it in Swamp Edge City (southwestern area of swamp). You will need to move around the desert; different areas of the desert have different monsters.

It is unnecessary to do anymore in the Jungle Ruins. NPCs can be spoken with on the upper floors, but they offer nothing of use.

Part 5: Temple of Roo

Return to the desert. Enter the Temple of Roo in the cave in the desert. You can sneak through most of the Temple of Roo, then begin hunting after passing the trees in the southwest corner.

★ You are awarded the "NeoQuest - Wise and Powerful" avatar when you receive the coruscating gem.

1. Create and equip the Life staff by giving Erick the following items:

★ Cast the life staff's special ability to heal 100 health. Use it instead of a potion, or use it near the end of a battle to top off your health.

Part 6: Techo Mountain Caves

Leveling up now should be faster during this part, as the monsters you will fight will be closer to your level and do not have healing abilities. With your staff's Spirit of Growth, you should find that you rarely use potions.

Head south of the desert to the Techo Mountain Caves. Notice Mr. Irgo, the Jetsam NPC near the beginning of the Techo Mtn. Caves. You will return to him when you have received a set of the items below. When an enemy attacks, the energy absorber has a 5% chance to heal you for the damage you would have taken, and the robe of protection has a 10% chance to negate the damage. Because your health cannot go above your maximum health, the robe is the better pick.

While you train, find materials for either of the following pieces of armour:

1. Go through Techo Mtn. Caves, cave 1
2. Once outside, go west to cave 2 (world map link). Train and find the materials in Techo Mtn. Caves, cave 2. The monsters here give better exp. than cave 1, but only cave 1 has the agate dervishes. Note that not every drakonid monster drops every drakonid item.
3. Create and equip the armour at Mr. Irgo in cave 1
4. Train to level 35 at cave 2
5. Train to level 36 at cave 3 around the sand near the entrance
6. Train to level 37 at cave 3 around the sand near the entrance
7. Exit cave 3 to Sunny Town. In Sunny Town, give the rusty medallion to Gali Yoj to receive the Keladrian Medallion
8. Train to level 38 at cave 3 around the exit to Sunny Town
9. Go through cave 3 and enter cave 2 (world map link)
10. Go through cave 2 and go east to enter cave 4 (world map link)
11. Go through cave 4 and enter cave 5 to the west (world map link)
12. Train to level 39 at cave 5, gateway to the Mountain Fortress (the grey tiles)
13. Enter the Mountain Fortress

Part 7: Mountain Fortress

1. While you train, find and equip an Inferno Robe. If you find an Evening Sun Energy Shield first, equip it until you receive the robe. Most monsters in the Mountain Fortress have a 5% or 10% chance to drop these items.
2. Train to level 40 at Mountain Fortress in the hallway
3. Train to level 41 at Mountain Fortress in the life guardian's area
4. Defeat the Guardian of Life Magic and equip the Moonstone staff

★ Because they give a fixed number of experience points, hold off on defeating the other guardians until you're level 42. Common monsters will give less experience as you level up, so you minimize time spent training this way.

1. Train to level 42 at Mountain Fortress in the life guardian's area
2. Defeat the Guardian of Ice Magic
3. Defeat the Guardian of Fire Magic
4. Defeat the Guardian of Spectral Magic
5. Defeat the Guardian of Shock Magic
6. Train to level 43 at Mountain Fortress in the life guardian's area
7. Exit the Mountain Fortress

Part 8: Kal Panning

1. Go back through Techo Mtn. Caves, cave 5 and go south to enter cave 6 (world map link)
2. Go through cave 6
3. After exiting the Techo Mtn. Caves, go east, passing the cave south of the mountains, and north through the forests
4. Enter Kal Panning and make your way to Faleinn's room

★ Monsters will not appear after Faleinn is defeated. Do not defeat Faleinn until you have leveled up.

1. Train to level 44 at Kal Panning in Faleinn's room
2. Train to level 45 at Kal Panning in Faleinn's room
3. Defeat Faleinn with the "Show the Keladrian Medallion to Faleinn" option during the fight
4. Exit Kal Panning, the city now restored

Part 9: Palace of the Two Rings

1. Go back to the cave south of the mountains that was passed on the way to Kal Panning

★ After exiting the north end of this cave, you may not go back. Defeat weak enemies outside the entrance to the cave to stock up on Greater Healing Potions. Spirit Healing Potions are rare; save them for the final boss(es).

1. Pass through the doors and exit the cave
2. Train to level 46 in the Two Rings Hills outside the palace

★ Watch out for the two rings archmagus and the two rings warlock in the Two Rings Hills and Forests. They both can do 80 damage and stun on the same turn. They cannot use that power twice in a row, but their max regular attack damage is 50+. Consider healing at 140 health or fighting the lower-level enemies in the hills and forests to the south to conserve potions. Once inside the palace, the enemies can hit up to 100 but will not stun.

1. Train to level 47 at Palace of the Two Rings, Level 1 near the entrance
2. Train to level 48 at Palace of the Two Rings, Level 1 near the entrance
3. Train to level 49 at Palace of the Two Rings, Level 1 near the stairs to level 2
4. Train to level 50 at Palace of the Two Rings, Level 2
5. Stock up on Superior Healing Potions fighting weaker enemies if necessary. You will probably have 6-9 Spirit Healing Potions, which is enough. Defeat the final boss(es) at Palace of the Two Rings, Level 3. On evil and insane modes, each boss is fought immediately after the previous boss is defeated.

On normal mode, you fight Jahbal. Be mindful of his 70 damage + 3-turn stun attack, especially when poisoned. It would be wise to heal even when your health is high (200+), especially on insane mode. You should resist many attacks, and you will not always be hit for max damage, but I came close to defeat on this boss.

On evil mode, you fight Jahbal then Mastermind. Fairly straightforward, Mastermind cannot stun, but could do up to 170 damage if you are hit with both a drain and a max hit attack. You are warned 1 turn before the drain starts; it lasts 3 turns and you may resist it on any of the turns.

On insane mode, you fight Jahbal, then Mastermind, and then Xantan Reborn. Xantan Reborn is significantly easier than Jahbal or Mastermind. He does 50 damage every turn, but you may evade or resist taking damage.

★ If you defeated the boss(es), congratulations! NeoQuest complete!

If you are defeated on normal mode, you can return to the boss and try again. If you are defeated by Mastermind, you'll have to start a new game (be it intended or a bug, Jahbal will not appear on the map, so you cannot start the fight against Mastermind again).
