Editing Chapter One (Magicka) (section)

==Area 5==
Head west into the fenced farm area. Approach the woman with the exclamation point above her head to start a cutscene. 3 [[Goblin Rogue|Goblin Rogues]] will come from the north yelling "RAKANISHLOL!" (Diablo 2 much??). Time for combat! Be very careful not to kill the woman accidentally, heal her if necessary with a healing beam ({{Elem|w}}+right click). After defeating them, talk to the woman again to complete the achievement "RPG much?". If you mess up and the woman dies, you can suicide (cast an element at yourself with middle click that isn't Life or Shield) and restart from the previous checkpoint in Area 4 (you did activate it didn't you?).

Just north of the woman along the wooden fence, there is a [[Staff of Life]]. Press Tab to see what it does. This staff gives you a regeneration aura that heals you for 64 hitpoints per tick, allowing you to concentrate more on killing enemies in combat. However, do note that the aura (the radius is visible on the ground around you) affects BOTH friends and enemies near you. Most of the time, this isn't an issue since your damage output is so massive anyway and you kill most enemies before they even reach you.

The staff also has an active ability which is the Revive Magick you already learnt earlier from Shams. To cast it, you simply aim and middle click with no Elements queued up in the spellbar. The staff's active ability has a cooldown, so you can't chain cast it like you could with {{Elem|w}}{{Elem|a}}+spacebar. Future staves may offer you abilities and Magicks that you do not know yet.

You can only hold one staff and one weapon at any one time so anytime you pick up a new one, the existing one drops to the floor. The Basic Staff from the tutorial is an exception since it has no abilities and the game just eats it into the void.

Now head west and open the wooden gate (isn't it interesting that you can't destroy it like you could with the first secret door earlier?) and walk through the wheat field to find secret #3 and [[Excalibur]]! The famous sword in the stone... complete with stone! Shift+Left click to swing it and see how ridiculous it looks. It does have the ability to slow and knockdown any enemy it hits though.

Backtrack to the farm and continue north. A short cutscene starts showing 2 Goblin Rogues being ambushed by 3 [[Giant Spider|Giant Spiders]]! Continue north into the clearing and the 3 spiders will "ambush" you. If you are using the Staff of Life, you are pretty much unkillable since the healing is more than the combined damage of the spiders. Kill them all with an area attack spell such as {{Elem|qf}}{{Elem|s}}{{Elem|a}}{{Elem|a}}{{Elem|a}}+Shift+Right click.

{{Tip|Giant Spiders can poison you, and that you can avoid this by shielding yourself ({{Elem|e}}+middle click) or by curing the poison ({{Elem|w}}+middle click).}}
Eventually you'll come to a small camp with a wooden wall. Two soldiers outside talk idly about a [[Forest Troll]]. Get ready for your first REAL Boss Battle!

{{Tip|Don't worry about killing your allies, Collateral damage is part of the game!}}

[[Ygg]], the aforementioned Forest Troll comes charging into the camp. It is large and carries a large wooden tree trunk. It moves relatively slowly, especially if it is slowed with the Cold element. It regenerates hitpoints all the time but this can be stopped by setting it on fire. It does three types of attacks.
# Perform a swing of the wooden tree trunk, knocking back everyone standing in front of it for a large distance and doing moderate damage.
# Grab someone (preferably not you) in his hands and slowly eat it until it dies. If this happens, press spacebar repeatedly to shake free or use an area stun spell such as {{Elem|qf}}{{Elem|a}}{{Elem|s}}+Shift+Right click.
# Kick someone in front of him for a small amount of damage, knocking it backwards for a short distance.

There are 2 main methods of killing Ygg:
# Kill it with a huge damage spell. Use the recommended {{Elem|qf}}{{Elem|qf}}{{Elem|s}}{{Elem|a}}{{Elem|a}} beam.
# Heal the guards attacking it with a healing beam ({{Elem|w}}) and they will eventually kill it.

There are 2 possible outcomes to the battle (that doesn't involve you dying):
# Ygg dies and [[Captain Bjorn]] (the soldier in the red cape) dies. A soldier runs in from the northeast, moans about his death and tells you to go on through it on Havindr. Pick up the [[Captain's Axe]] dropped by the dead Captain Bjorn if you wish.
# Ygg dies and Captain Bjorn lives. He congratulates you on your prowess and because you're so good, you are to continue on towards Havindr without his help (he's supposed to accompany your journey). He gives you his Captain's Axe as a reward.

{{Warning|<del>Do not kill Captain Bjorn until AFTER the boss fight, otherwise the cutscene will not trigger and the boss will not spawn, thus preventing you from continuing the game</del>. '''''UPDATE''': This bug has been fixed as of Feb. 2nd, 2011 with [[February 2, 2011 Patch|Patch #7]]''.}}
Killing Ygg will complete the "No more trolling" achievement.

Head northeast and continue to the next level.
