Few things you should know about.
- If you have not downloaded it yet, go to the market and get it. It’s a fine game even with the bugs and the 29-th level cap If you can’t afford to buy the key.
- The key costs around 2 Euro. Get It from Android Market.
- Dungeons are random. There are two non-random dungeons. The dragon tower and the Underworld.
- Monsters in incomplete dungeons respawn every reentering. Dragon tower respawns when you logoff from the game.
- There is only one city to rest, get quests, train and buy/sell stuff.
- 4 NPCs outside the city walls are also giving quests. 2 beside towers, one Gnome and one Pirate sailor. They are easy to find. Look at the map.
Quest!: Swords and spells map
- Fight is done by slashing/tapping with your finger.
- (3/4/5) digits on weapons means (attack/damage/speed).
- Most repeatable quests have random target every time you login to the game. Recheck always.
- Killing monsters is done one-at-a-time. Later in game, needing to kill spiders, wasps and skeletons becomes very boring.
- There are no mass-kill spells.
- The top game spells Bonfire and Death are very rare drop and … totaly useless. They only do 40 damage each.
- Leveling is a bit of a PItA. You need to grind bats, spiders, wasps and skeletons until you get better equipment and reach levels 5-7. Then you will have 3 repeatable quests. They are not much help, but they add up in the char building.
- If you have more money than you spend for equipment and leveling – invest in potions. It is better with your 1600 gold to buy 10 purple potions for 800 gold instead of losing 800 gold because you did not have HP and mana to finish that ice dragon. Having excess money you don’t/can’t use is pointless. Every death in battle will halve your pockets and your gathered XP to next level.
- Sometimes entering a house, you will be attacked by a very strong monster. If you can’t fight it – flee. The house entrance will stay blocked until you can win the fight. It’s probably a nasty bug, because some of the low level repeatable quests need you to enter a house and search inside. Never the less – I’ve seen Nakamamatay pop out from a house entrance and left him there (used “flee”). This way, the endgame fight did not cost me 3 more keys, when I felt ready for him 😉
- Another nasty bug – Very often there will be re-closed gate after you exit and reenter the game. The Facebook fan page of the game claims “this should not happen”. Maybe in a future release or patch of the game – this will be fixed. In version 2.14 of the game, It’s still there though.
- And often a chest guarded by a dragon is … empty.
| And, another important thing -> If you don’t buy or can’t afford the game content unlock key than there will be a level cap on level 29. The game continues but you can’t level up anymore, so It’s up to you if you want to continue… and don’t tell anyone, but if you disable your WiFi/3G – there are no ADs 😉 Anyway. You really can’t finish the game with this, because the final quest is given at level 30. So you better go to Android market and buy the key. It’s not that expensive. |
Quests.
| Needed level | Quest name | eXPerience | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | Celeste, your sister. | 50 XP | She is not in specific dungeon. Found by walking around the city. I was already level 4 when suddenly the quest finished itself alone. Only had to go to the city to claim it. (this quest is repeatable) |
| 3. | Old monk's relic. | 100 XP | It is in one of the houses. Totaly random one. Also repeatable. |
| 4. | Gnome's amulet. | 200 XP | Random chest in random dungeon. Opens a level 7 quest. |
| 5. | Become a hunter. | 250-500 XP | Need to kill Rattling skeletons, gnomes, wasps etc. Repeatable. |
| 7. | Item collection quest. | 500 XP | The items are need to be found, not bought. Random. Repeatable. |
| 7. | Gnome armour. | 350 XP | Now the Gnome needs Leather jacket... and opens level 10 quest. |
| 9. | Kill a band of Orc warriors. | 750 XP. | The best place to check is the 2 islands reachable by boats. Opens a level 11 mummy quest. |
| 10. | Silver jewelry for the gnome. | 750 XP. | I really want to hit him already. Opens a level 13 quest. |
| 11. | Run mummy, run. | 1000 XP. | Found in random dungeons more often. Opens the level 13 quest "Play dead". |
| 13. | Play dead. | 1500 XP | Die by Orc Warrior's hand and be revived later. Easy quest. Not easy to find Orc warriors. Try the islands. The good part is - you will not lose money by this death. And the bonus for this quest completion is the +15 magic armour. He suggest you visit the other tower that gives level 15 quest. The tower is near the castle. |
| 13. | Shield for the gnome. | 1250 XP | I suggest you stall this quest until he asks for cheap shield... Steel stuff is hard to be found. Opens a level 16 quest for a helmet. Again - can't buy the stuff. Need to find it by killing. |
| 15. | Leader of the orcs. | 2000 XP | If you followed the east tower quests until last one (level 13) you already killed the leader. If you got this quest before the other - it will be done automatically. |
| 15. | Croc hunt. | 1500 XP | Quite hard for level 15. Takes 5 HP potions to kill the 2 Croc Warriors. Opens a level 20 quest. |
| 16. | Gnome's helmet. | 1750 XP | Now he needs a helmet. The reward is +6 wizard hat. Yay. No. More. Gnome. Quests! |
| 17. | Demon hunt. | 3000 XP | The demon has 200 HP and 150 attack. Takes 5 purple potions to kill from level 25 char. Quite easy. The chests laying around have cheap junk though. Opens level 19 dungeon quest. |
| 19. | Dungeon masters. | 4000 XP | Needs a keys to unlock the path. There is bug in the game that consumes key, regardless the gate has already been unlocked, so beware not to just LOSE a hard found key. |
| 20. | Blind the beholder. | 2000 XP | The beholder can be reached if you have key or he spawns in some houses entrance. His position on the map is above the sailor in the southeastern end of the main island. The battle is hard and gives 2000 XP for killing and another 2000 when telling the pirate. He gives you a +5 amulet for your efforts and disappears. The way to the Nakamamatay underworld is now open. |
| 25. | Protect the kingdom. | 5000 XP | You need to kill Ancient golden wyrm. The path to the golden wyrm is by a horse ride (near the castle) and there are at least 50 groups of mobs until you reach the top of his "tower". Arm with patience ... and potions. It takes 20-25 minutes to reach the top. The battle is long and you will "miss" all of the time because of the wyrm's high defense. The wyrm hits around 70, so if you can't take 2 or 3 hits before dying - don't try this yet. I killed the wyrm @ level 50. Don't know why exactly, but this quest is also REPEATABLE. |
| 30. | Vanquish Nakamamatay. | 10000 XP | This one is only for unlocked game. The uber boss monster. Takes forever to kill. I drank a cup of coffee while tapping/slashing/freezing. 3 keys are needed to open the path to Nakamamatay. 2 for entrance and 1 other for his dungeon room. |
The good equipment is only dropped by dragons, so if you are not around levels 25-29 you will have to go with what’s in the shop.
If you want to hunt dragons – invest in the spell “Freeze”. You will conserve lots of HP potions. You can kill a dragon with one blue or purple potion with this spell. And yet again -> If you don’t buy the game, there will be less equipment in the store and the good stuff that’s sold there will not appear. This, I am sorry to say – includes the spell Freeze, which is the dragon killer at lower levels.
How to level Up smart.
- 1 point in Strength = +1.5 damage
- 1 point in Endurance = +10 HP
- 1 point in Intelligence = +10 MP
- 1 point in Agility = +2 points in Attack.
- Your total defense with best equipment will be 41.
- Your total Attack is you base weapon attack + 2 x Agility.
- Your total Damage is your base weapon damage + 1.5 x Strength.
- So, if you have 15 Str, 15 Agi and best game weapon [15/15/7] Magic axe, you will have 45 attack and ~40 damage.
- Ideally, you aim for 15 Str, 15 Agi, 21 End, 16 Int.
- … this is not achievable before level 55.

Dragon/boss kill tactics.
So far, even for low levels, the spell Freeze helps you not to die while landing (hopefully) successful hits for the 10 seconds while the dragon/boss is frozen. It costs 20 mana. Invest for higher Mana points in your hero while leveling, so you can cast this spell 6 or more times with one Blue potion. This way you will kill a dragon with only one or two potions. The potions cost 40 gold each. Most of the time the dragons drop stuff, that costs more.
Most, if not all hard monsters can be killed with level 30 character with this tactic BUT it will cost you lots of blue potions. Try to be patient until you reach level 40, have at least 160 HP and 100 SP. Then all ice dragons will fall with a single potion or less. Try also to find the Magic Axe. This weapon ROCKS. It is [15/15/7].
I’ve killed Ancient golden Wyrm with this tactics when I was level 50.
Nakamamatay is hard to reach if you are not lucky. He is in one room in the Underworld. This room is reachable with 3 keys only.
Where is Nakamamatay? Underworld, go down, until you reach a floor that has a small detour to the east with a square that can only be reached by going diagonally North-east. After few monsters, you will reach a third door with Nakamamatay inside.
He is easy to kill with the same tactics for Dragons/bosses. Use Freeze all the time, hit him until you need to recast Freeze. Don’t let him hit you even once. It DOES hurt alot. This final fight can take about 20 minutes of Freeze, Slash, slash, slash, … Freeze, so be prepared to dedicate one cup of coffee to It.
Nastiest bug in Quest!: Swords and spells v. 2.14
All the doors in the Underworld will re-lock again after you logout from the game. This bug really makes the fun go bad if you have not bought enough potions. If you plan on hunting/leveling/grinding there, get at least 100 of all kinds of potions. If the bug catches you between the first 2 doors, you are really frakked ;( Otherwise – relog few times until the monsters respawn. Kill everyone and hope they will drop 2 keys so you can escape.
My personal advice is – get 3 keys. Kill Nakamamatay and go outside immediately. This way the bug will not take your fun down.
