The Magicians' Retreat (魔術師の隠れ家) is an unranked difficulty dungeon in the Central Continent. It is unlocked by talking to the female mage on the second floor of Slave City Shrike's inn.

General

• This is a large dungeon comprised of one central dungeon and two separate smaller dungeons.

Locations

Exterior

The exterior map is filled with Ether and Potion-stealing bandits. Some areas can be accessed by having a Chain Flail acquired from the Undersea Temple. The former mages' hideout is to the southeast. Upon entering you will be trapped inside by bandits. leads to a building in the southeast where you will be trapped inside by bandits. Fight the bandits until they give up and they will allow you to leave. However to access more you need to check the bookshelf that has no books in it to reveal a hidden stairway that leads to a magic circle with stairs in its center.

Main Area

In the next area, the room on the far right will lock you in once you access the chest and release rape worms you need to defeat to leave. The Dead Wife Museum dungeon is accessible via the door to the southwest. Note that in parts of the dungeon there will be items lying on the ground previously owned by various victims that can be interacted with to pick them up.

To venture deeper, leave via the southern exit and press the button in the western room with the slimes. Then, head east and follow the passage to some stairs leading downward in the east. Past the cells you will find a lever that will remove the pillars from the passage in the slime room. The next area is a purgatory of sorts where rapidly moving spirits will constantly assault you, though there is a Light Robe to be picked up on the eastern island area. Make your way to the southern exit where you will be forced into a mini boss battle with a red Tonberry.

In the caverns area, head southwest past the saw chamber and access the next area by heading west to a dead end (the southernmost exit leads to a torture chamber and eventually to a lever that will raise the terrain in the large saw room). On the right is the exit marked by a slightly different wall border. In the next area, the trick is to expose the slimes in the passage to extremes of heat and cold several times by alternating the release of both until they can be destroyed by walking through them. Pressing the buttons in the first room will open the doors to the other two, releasing heat and cold respectively and periodically damaging you. The heat chamber has an Incandescent Bracelet that can be picked up.

There will be four sections of the passage to go through after that. In one of them is a woman who will invite you to follow her; if you accept she will trap you in the sewers and summon slimes to assault you before revealing herself (through damage inflicted on her) as a slime girl. Upon defeating everything in that encounter you will be swept away through the sewers where a ladder will allow you to climb back into the main area of the retreat.

Instead, go past her to the very end where you will face the boss of the area. Defeat him but do not take the rope to the surface. Instead, head back to the slime girl (you will need to backtrack as walking into the passage will take you nearly back to the beginning of the passage itself) and fight her. Once you return to the main area via the sewers the Doll Factory sub-dungeon (the stairs blocked previously by a gate) will be accessible. Note that the western locked chamber in the area leading to the pillar-removing lever will be unlocked where you can find a Soul Jar 8.

Doll Factory

This sub-dungeon is straightforward and leads to a room with friendly slugs and a save point. Further in do not step onto the circle with three seated dolls in it or you will trigger the possession bad ending. Defeat the boss in the last area to reach the final room where you will acquire a Prime Blue and Princess Dress. Touch the sparkling gem to return to the caverns section on its westernmost side surrounded by golems.

Dead Wife Museum

• You can, and should, save the game at the diary immediately inside the museum since this dungeon is full of game over instant death traps.
• To proceed examine the painting with a door at the southwestern section of the area. Walking past the painting of you triggers a game over.
• In the next room with monsters and empty paintings you need to convince the monsters to return to the paintings with brute force. Once all the paintings have settled down two door paintings appear to the south. Enter the western door. (Check out the eastern door if you like for another game over.)
• Walk past the paintings and access the door painting into another room with a loose painting. The female image will heal itself while the demonic one (the one you must beat) will deal damage. Defeat it to reveal two doors; the western one leads to two chests while the eastern one leads you to the same room as above. Activate the lever inside the western room and attempt to reenter it afterwards to proceed.
• In the wax gallery some of the dolls are alive (you can tell if they turn to face you) and will hit you if you come close. They don't move so just run past them to the eastern exit.
• In the doll prison you need to continue to the second screen and pull the lever in the room with the stone statues while avoiding the three obvious traps on the floor. Enter the open coffin in the first prison section and pull the lever there; if you didn't pull the previous lever first you'll trigger a game over before reaching it. Finally you can return to the wax gallery and pull the lever near the two flute dolls which will move the statues to the north. However should you try to proceed the statues will trap you and delta horse you into submission, ending the game.
• Instead go through a hidden door in the wall to the left of the lone statue.
• After the room with a save book and bookshelves full of information you find the boss of the dungeon.
• Once you beat the boss and enter the door you will find yourself back in the first area again.
