8. Slurry Quay, Dourbridge and Zere Rocks

Garth Goyle defeated, Mason's fygg (Zere Rocks)

  1. Back in Porth Llaffan, talk to Jona on the beach, then board the boat and talk to the captain: he takes you to Slurry Quay, on the eastern continent (a locked chest by the inn needs the Thief's key).
  2. Head south-east to Dourbridge. By day, cross the upper bridge: you hear that old Mason, at the foot of Zere Rocks, bought a golden fruit. In the north-east tent, Cap'n Max Meddlin gives the Thief's key for 4 mini medals.
  3. To the south-east, the Lonely Plains: climb the Heights of Loneliness (a man at the entrance offers the Ranger quest, 112Ranger Changer). At the top, Zere Rocks has Zere's layout, all in stone.
  4. In the north-east house (Petra's house in Zere), talk to the slime: Mason died after eating a very pretty fruit. As you leave, Garth Goyle attacks.
  5. After the victory, follow the ghost into that house's basement: Mason leaves you a Fygg.

The game's own summary

Having helped rejuvenate the seafaring town of Porth Llaffan, your hero jumped aboard a cross-channel boat, and has arrived on previously unvisited shores.

His continued search for the fyggs led your hero to the town of Dourbridge, named for its two large bridges, where he learnt that an old man called Mason, who lives at the foot of Zere Rocks, purchased a shining, golden fruit there not so long ago.

At the summit of the Heights of Loneliness, your hero discovered a town made entirely of stone called Zere Rocks. Just as he was being told by a local slime that Old Man Mason died moments after eating a beautiful fruit of some kind, a loud noise pierced the air!

At the summit of the Heights of Loneliness, your hero discovered a town made entirely of stone called Zere Rocks. Its guardian, Garth Goyle, attacked, but your hero managed to come out of the ensuing battle victorious.

After defeating Garth Goyle, Guardian of Zere Rocks, your hero encountered the ghost of Old Man Mason. Upon telling your hero that it was never his intention to spawn the rock monster, Mason's ghost ascended to the heavens, and your hero acquired fygg.
