Starting Speech

"I have created my Reincarnation Site and the settlement is nearly complete. Now we must destroy the Dakini tribe!"

Geography

The world is one of the smallest worlds in existence and consists of three islands. The player gets the largest island, which is also the southern island. This island contains one Stone Head, which has unlimited uses of Landbridge, as well as two Small Huts. The middle island is the second largest of the three and has another Stone Head, this time containing four uses of Lightning. These can be used to quickly end the level if the player chooses too. Also, the Vault of Knowledge containing the Warrior Training Hut is guarded by a lone Brave. Finally, the northern island contains the small Dakini settlement of one Large Hut and a Warrior Training Hut.

Strategy

The player begins with six braves, but two are spawned soon after. Two more huts can be constructed to full up the space, whilst the Shaman (or even a brave) worships the Landbridge Stone Head. Two uses are needed, though others can be used to expand the settlement. Cast one spell to the central island and cast a Blast spell on the Dakini Brave. He should be killed upon hitting the ground. Whilst the Shaman worships the Vault of Knowledge, a Brave can worship the Stone Head which contains the powerful spell of Lightning. Once both the spells and the training hut have been obtained, a final Landbridge can be cast to the Dakini settlement. Take note that in doing so, the Stone Head on the starting island will sink into the ground. From here, the player has a choice. They may wish to end the level in four, well placed Lightning spells, or they can build a Warrior Training Hut, train up 5 Warriors and destroy the Dakini. Be warned the Dakini Shaman may blast your force into the water, so killing her with Lightning is advised.

Enemy tribes: Dakini

Worship Objects:

Item	Shots	Spell/Effect	Follower Count
Stone Head	∞	Landbridge	1
Stone Head	4	Lightning	1
Vault of Knowledge		Warrior Training Hut

Quick Way

Get your Shaman and pray to the Landbridge Stone Head until you have 2 shots. Take your Shaman to the Lightning Stone Head until you have 4 shots. Send your Shaman to the Dakini island and Blast the Warrior then Lightning the enemy Shaman, the Hut and the Warrior Training Hut and blast all the enemy followers.

Note: This level is basic and simple. The Dakini Shaman does not have a Reincarnation Site and the Stone Head on your own island will sink into the ground once you are connected with the Dakini island.
