The basic lair of the Soastiks. Be careful – even the city dwellers can fire at you!
The trees can release a small amount of mana that you may harvest to cast more spells.
The towers and walls fortify the Soastik cities. The towers are also the lairs of some of the more powerful creatures such as knights and gryphons. As you travel further through the levels the towers become more tricky to destroy.
The Soastiks use these pillars to extract the Mana from the ground. Destroying these will release a great deal of mana at the same time.
The knights are the easiest of the creatures you will face in your quest from Erda.
The gryphons can attack you in the air and have many strengths especially in the later levels
