Dragon Warrior II Guide > Walkthrough > Leftwyne

LOCATION: From Midenhall, head to your upper left, along the brush-covered prairies, to the desert. Follow the desert to the lower left, and from the end of that desert, head directly northwest for a bit through the forest, below the swamp. From the edge of the forest to the northwest, it's only a few steps to Leftwyne.

It's only 6 gold to spend the night at the inn here, and you may well need to do that after the trek from Midenhall. There are also some items in the shops here that you may find of interest, if you want the hero to do good damage against enemies in battle, or to be able to defend himself.

The enemies immediately surrounding the village also are of a tougher breed, including a lot of iron ants, ghost mice, drakees and big slugs, rather than the more common slimes that patrolled the grounds around Midenhall. You shouldn't have much difficulty increasing your level to 6 or so just outside of Leftwyne, which is recommended before you continue north.

I also recommend purchasing some gear in the weapons shop. Your best offensive purchase is the CHAIN SICKLE, while the best defensive one is the CHAIN MAIL. Affording both will take quite some time, but you can work around town to build up the funds if you really want. Otherwise, decide which immediate purchase best fits your fighting style and go from there (me, I like to beef up on offensive stuff).

You can talk elsewhere in town, and the people will let you know that the castle of Cannock lies to the north. That's your new destination, once you've reached level 6 or so (you'll almost certainly reach level 7 if you want to stick around long enough to get both better armor and weapons).
