Tower of Sulfras |
Sulfras is quite friendly towards humans. She guards the entrance to the tunnels which lead to an exit to the surface and will only let you past if you complete a quest for her.

Bahk-Shah | Demon | He used to belong to Erika but now guards Sulfras' Lair and greets guests. He tells you that one of Erika's talking statues has been placed here. He also warns you that you cannot proceed east without her consent. | |
Sulfras | Dragon | After a lot of beating about the bush you can formally ask her permission to pass to the east. She will then give you the quest to find a magic circlet (in Spire) and the Onyx Sceptre (Adze-Haakai in the Tower of Magi). When you give her the artifacts you gain 25xp apiece and she will let you pass to the east. | Quest |
Talking Statue (Erika has Password) |
Tells you that Sulfras seeks a circlet and a sceptre, also that although her treasure chests are trapped, the trap on the SE chest is broken. |
It is always a good idea to talk to everybody. The following notes give hints on hidden rooms, traps and puzzles.
This is a relatively simple town. There is however a treasure room hidden to the south. There are lots (450) of coins and a Jade Halberd lying around. As the statue told you, all chests except the SE one are trapped. The SE one contains a Mind Crystal – (Blademaster), 200 coins and a dragonskin cloak. For each of the other chests you open you get 2 Dread Curse (at least if your reputation is high enough). There are some rather good items like a Yew Bow or a Mage's Bracelet. If you open too many chests Sulfras gets upset, but she does not seem to notice a little pilfering. I managed to open two further chests without her attacking me. The contents of the chests (in anticlockwise order):
NW (2x Dread Curse) | 194 coins, Scroll – Acid Spray, Blessed Javelin (3) |
SW (2x Dread Curse) | 144 coins, Energy Potion, 230 coins |
S left (2x Dread Curse) | Wand of Lightning, Healing Potion, Scroll – Dispel Barrier, Jeweled Ring |
S middle (2x Dread Curse) | Necklace (Sticky Charm), Mages Bracelet, Wand of Binding, Gold Bracelet |
SE (nicht trapped) | 200 coins, Mind Crystal (Blademaster), Dragonskin Cloak |
ESE (2x Dread Curse) | 190 coins, Scroll – Fireblast, Yew Crossbow |
NE (2x Dread Curse) | 94 coins, Haste Potion, 185 coins |
