Draft:Magic Castle DS:Leveling Up Quickly

This guide contains information on how to level up easily in dungeons.

Leveling up

If you want to level up before entering a dungeon, go to the Training Grounds once (or maybe a few times), using this method can level Shiren up to level 10.

If you're inside a dungeon, and need to level up quickly, here are some easy ways to do it:

• Paranoia Scrolls can be used to level up a monster. Just read the scroll near the monster you want to make stronger, while there's also another monster nearby (preferably weaker than the first one). Once the first monster is in Paranoia status, lead both of them to a corridor, and make sure they're lined up. The first monster will attack (and kill) the monster behind, and level up as a result. If you have access to an Echo Shield, you can do a similar trick with Gazes by reflecting their hypnosis. Just keep in mind that the Paranoia status only lasts 10 turns. Once you've got a strong monster to kill, use something like a Staff of Paralysis, then one or two Dragon Herbs. Throwing a bag of Gitan can work pretty well too.

• A Doppelganger Staff is also a good way to level up monsters. Just swing this staff at an enemy, then wait for a monster to come and kill it. You can then use your items to defeat the resulting monster.

• Though it isn't very easy to find, using a Staff of Happiness is the fastest way to level up monsters and gain lots of experience.

• While wearing a Trap Armband, you can increase a monster's multiplier to get more experience after killing it. Read the Trap Strategy page to know how to use this armband.
