You start off with two small houses on a small island, and the objective is to worship the [[Stone Head]] nearby and [[landbridge]] to the next island. There, you will worship the [[Vault of Knowledge]], giving you the Warrior Hut, and the other [[Stone Head]] which gives you single-shot [[Lightning]] spells.. Then a simple [[landbridge]] to the next island and an attack on the [[Dakini]] with your prizes and [[Warrior]]s will easily win the level.
==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 to. 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 fill 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 [[Lightning]] spell. 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. The player may wish to end the level with four well placed Lightning spells, or a Warrior Training Hut can be built, where the player can train 5 warriors to destroy the Dakini with. Be warned that the Dakini Shaman may blast your forces into the water, so killing her with Lightning is advised.

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.
This level can be completed in around a minute if you are quick enough. Begin by getting two Landbridge spells, then connect all three islands together. Get the four uses of Lightning then cast one on the clump of Braves outside the Large Hut. This will kill them all and the followers inside the hut will go to guard the Shaman. Casting Lightning on her and should kill the followers guarding her. After that, casting Blast on the [[Warrior]] should end the level.
 
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.

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 to. 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 fill 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 Lightning spell. 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. The player may wish to end the level with four well placed Lightning spells, or a Warrior Training Hut can be built, where the player can train 5 warriors to destroy the Dakini with. Be warned that the Dakini Shaman may blast your forces into the water, so killing her with Lightning is advised.
