|
The right order of flipping the switches is: S1, S2 twice, S1, S3. | The door will open. |
Helm of Fire M11.3(6) is in the big room on level 4. In order to enter it you need to pass through the corridor in which you will be attacked by a statue M11.3(5). It will cast a few spells weakening you before the fight.
You can avoid the damage dealt by the statue - in order to do that you need to solve the puzzle on level three - one of the chambers has four switches M11.2 (2, 3, 4 and 5). Using one of them will open up the way to one of the switches and closing of another set of door. The point of the riddle is to open the final door. The right order is S1, S2 twice, S1, S3. The door will open and you will find a key to Grolm M11.2(6) in a hidden room. Return to level 4 and approach the door M11.3(3). They will open when you use the key. Enter the chamber and take the stairs down. Use the switch M11.3(4), which will disarm the statue. This will make the fight for the Helm much easier.
Helm of Fire is guarded by a very powerful enemy - a cyclopean skeleton supported by undead grolms. The cyclops is quite slow so try to lure him with one of your characters (just keep running until the rest of the party deals with grolms). And once he's alone focus your attacks on him.
After the fight use the switch M11.3(7), to lower the monolith M11.3(6) and take the Helm of Fire. A moment after you pick it up a ghost of the Dragon Quest Warrior. Will appear and hand you over the teleportation disc, which you can use to return to Murolosh.
Reward: Helm of Fire, teleportation disc
Q33 Madness in Murolosh

1. Meet Xolgorax in the Throne Room
Head to the throne room M10(2), where Xolgorax Awaits you High Priest thinks that the madness is caused by the dragon carbuncle and wants you to destroy it.
2. Make king Arombolosh regain sanity
Enter the throne room and fight the king and the other dwarves. Once you land a few successful blows on him he will fall to the ground allowing you to destroy the jewel set in his crown. Arombolosh will regain sanity, thank you for your help and send you to the treasurer M10(8), who has a reward for you. He will also create a new item from the armor pieces you've assembled - Armor of Fire. The treasurer will give you one of the items you haven't picked before (Q19.1 Accept the gift).

3. Ask about the Fire Falls
