| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Wall Climb

The King's Storeroom

The Lightning Ball Room

| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Tomb of Ancient Kings
Season 1 Here, a player either attempts to bust through the stone wall and progress to the left, or search for a key in the central coffin, that, when found, may allow access to both the room above and to the right of the Tomb. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Dark Forest
Seasons 2-3 Here, a player has two options. The first is to search for a key in the trunks of the two trees. This key may open the door leading upward and/or the door leading to the right. The second option is to bust through the stone wall and progress to the left, provided the wall can be smashed.
