Preparations for Goldville
Goldville can be reached through the grand lift in the Cathedral of the Nameless God after you’ve rung the three bells guarded by the skeleton priests.
It is recommended that you have the grappling hook and double jump ability unlocked before you enter the area because you’ll need those a lot to get to most platforms in this region.
Entrance To Goldville
You’ll encounter the first statue shortly ahead. In this region, you’ll have to push and pull crates to open paths and ladders. You can also push these crates on the hounds or enemies below to get rid of them.
The first hound can be encountered quite early on, and they heavily rely on smell to catch you, so hiding when a hound is near you won’t work.
Fortunately, you can steal a vial of Hound’s Sliva from these hounds. Using these vials will make you undetectable by smell for 60 seconds. Note that the duration of this buff doesn’t stack, so you’ll have to let it run out first before applying another vial to get the most out of it.
Furthermore, you won’t encounter the bushes or tall grass here. Instead, you can use the tables with the Nameless God’s statue on them to hide.
From the statue at the Entrance To Goldville, you’ll find a ladder going underground nearby. However, a crate is blocking the path. You’ll have to go right. Go through the building, and you’ll be able to get to the other side of it from the top floor.
Once you’re down on the floor again, you’ll find the body of an adventurer. But be wary, because rolling stones will be falling from above. Here, you can use the grappling hook to get to the platform above and pull the lever to disable the stone trap.
As you move further right, you’ll encounter another rolling stone coming towards you. Use the ladders to avoid getting damaged. Just below the location where the rolling stones are dropping down, you’ll find a ladder that leads you underground.
If you keep going, this underground path will lead you back to the statue at the entrance of Goldville. If you don’t go underground from there, you’ll encounter a campfire section here.
Note that there’s a chest on a ledge near the Entrance of Goldville statue. You can either get to this by coming through the top after circling from the End of Goldville statue, or you can use the grappling hook at the edge of the ledge and use a double jump to get on top of it.
Balin The Broke Warrior
There’s another ladder going underground shortly ahead. You’ll find Balin the Broke Warrior under the ground in this location.
Just like last time, Balin has lost his axe. He mentions a goblin with a bald head. Vyke immediately recognizes the description. You can then get the axe back from Miyazaki the Goodman, but to get there, you’ll first have to reach the End of Goldville statue.
Path To The Square Of Goldville
If you want to reach the Square of Goldville, you’ll have to exit the first building, but don’t take the ladder leading to the ground. The platforms here are connected to another building, and you’ll have to enter that.
As you exit the building, you’ll find the Square of Goldville statue shortly ahead. Note that it can be very challenging to return to the first half of the area after you’ve reached the square, so make sure you’ve done everything you need to do there. Otherwise, you’ll have to teleport to the Entrance of Goldville statue to get it done.
Square Of Goldville
As you walk forward from the statue, be careful, as giant stones will be crashing down on the ground from above. You’ll have to avoid these stones.
There’s a path here that leads you to the next area, but you can’t pull the lever without stopping the falling stone traps first. Avoid interacting with the body of the adventurer here as well, unless you’ve disabled the traps.
There’s a lift shortly ahead that will lead you to another building. You’ll find Miyazaki the Goodman on the roof here, but you can’t reach him yet.
Additionally, if you’ve sent the lift above, there’s a hidden path under it. You can find some items here.
Shortly after exiting the first building from here, you’ll find a ladder leading underground. You can reach the End of Goldville statue from this underground path.
End Of Goldville
When you reach the End of Goldville statue, you don’t have to find a way to go deeper into the region. Instead, your goal here is to find a way to disable the stone traps in the Square of Goldville.
You’ll find an NPC called Fin Stonefist standing near the statue. If you’ve collected Haggle Pitch techniques, he’ll reward you with a collectible item.
Go left from the statue, and you’ll enter a building. Once you’re on the top floor, you’ll find a path connected to some platforms and a lift.
If you go down in this area, you’ll find a ladder that you can kick down near the lift. This will allow you to return to the area without having to go through the building.
Miyazaki The Goodman
You have to take the lift, and you’ll be able to get to the next part of the building. From there, you can use the ladders to get to the top of the building, where you’ll encounter Miyazaki the Goodman.
Miyazaki will ask for something in exchange for Balin’s axe. You’ll have to give him a Gold Leaf, which can be acquired from a chest near the Entrance of Goldville statue or by catching the running chest on the invisible platforms.
Once you’ve got the axe, you can take it to Balin. The next day, Balin’s daughter will show up at the shop, asking you to talk to Balin and make him return home, as the dungeon is dangerous.
The Invisible Bridge
Note that Miyazaki the Goodman mentions an invisible bridge. If you go right from where you encounter Miyazaki, you’ll have to jump on some ledges, but you’ll encounter a running chest.
This running chest quickly gets away from you through the invisible bridge. You’ll have to follow it and sneak up to it to steal the Golden Leaf from it.
Now, you have to find a way to get to the mechanism that controls the stone trap. Return to where you found Miyazaki, and this time, go left on the rooftop. There’s an invisible bridge here, but it’s broken down.
You can use the tracking line of coinbeetle skills to see where there are invisible platforms or if the path ahead is broken down. Keep holding the skill button and follow the tracking line to make sure you know exactly where you have to jump.
The Stone Trap
As you keep going on the broken invisible bridge, you’ll finally arrive at a wooden structure. You’ll find a ladder here. If you go down the ladder, you’ll find three levers.
Interact with all three ladders to disable the stone strap. You can then return to the Square of Goldville to open a path forward.
Parker Frey
After interacting with the levers, you can go left from the platform, and here, you’ll find another invisible path. This will lead you to a building. If you go to the lower half of the building, you’ll find Parker Frey.
This time, Parker Frey asks for three level 5 gold pouches. If you give it to him, he’ll disappear again, and you’ll likely encounter him deeper into the dungeon.
Bekka
From the End of Goldville statue, go right. You’ll enter a building. Inside this building, there’s a ladder leading underground. This ladder is blocked by a crate, so you’ll have to move it first.
Once you reach underground, you’ll find Bekka. You’ll have to give her a healing potion. Once you’ve helped Bekka, she’ll return to your shop the next day, asking for three level 5 healing potions.
If you don’t give her what she wants, she’ll return the next day, so you won’t have to worry about missing out on the event just because these healing potions aren’t in your inventory.
Masked Elf
Return to the building that is to the right of the End of Goldville statue. Now, you have to get to the top-right corner of this building, which will let you drop down and open the door leading further right.
Here, you’ll find a giant mural of the Nameless God on the wall, alongside the Masked Elf. Talk to the Masked Elf, and they’ll ask you to find something that belonged to the villagers before it went to ruin.
You have to bring them a burnt doll, which can be acquired from one of the ledges near the Square of Goldville. Once you bring it back, the Masked Elf will realize that it is their doll before they head away, likely deeper into the dungeon.
Henrik The Undying
After you’ve disabled the stone trap, you’ll be able to open the gate leading to the mines from the Square of Goldville.
However, you’ll encounter Henrik the Undying there. You’ll have to defeat him first to get to the mines. The gate to the mines is only unlocked after you put Henrik’s heart into it.
Henrik will only become aggressive if you approach his side of the area. If you go left and open all the doors first, Henrik won’t react at all.
You should also bring some potions of invisibility and healing before you fight this boss, as well as a vial of Hellhound’s Sliva to mask your scent.
An easy way to defeat Henrik is to approach him first and then quickly run left. There will be a table that you can hide under immediately. Once Henrik approaches you, you can first steal his eyes. You can also lure him there by using the bells.
This will rob him of his eyesight. After stealing his eyes, run to your right. Head to the right half of the section and enter sneak mode. Now, you have to wait here until Henrik comes running.
Henrik will quickly pass by you. But you have to press to steal the moment he passes you by, which is only for a second. Move around in the area until Henrik goes a little away.
After that, return to the previous position and wait for Henrik to pass you by once again. This time, you have to steal his nose.
Repeat the process. Once you’ve stolen the three senses, you’ll be able to steal his heart. After you steal his heart, Henrik will be defeated. Use his heart on the gate to the mines, and you’ll be able to reach the next area.
