You can start a chain of events at any time with talking to the ship's captain at the docks in Somone. Ask him to take you to the capital of Cumberland Douglas, and after that you can travel there from the world map at any time.

Go to the castle and to speak with King Harold. He will introduce you to the youngest son, Thomasthen ask you to visit his other two children – George in the Nerak fortress and Sophia in the city of Hofach.

The next morning you will find the castle in chaos as King Harold died during the night. Prince Thomas has gone missing, so it's your job to find him. Leave the lock and turn left, heading for the farm in the northeast corner of town.

In the back corner of the farm you will find a a hidden tunnel in a hedge that you can crawl through.

Duneworm uses exclusively physical attacks, therefore equip your party with armor that protects them appropriately. Two moves of the beast A crushing stingwhich deals heavy damage to a single target, and Impact crackwhich damages the Earth in the column. You can somewhat reduce the effectiveness of the latter choosing a formation that does not have units facing each other.

This is one of the rare cases Free for all can be useful as long as you keep your rolls safe with buffs like Air screen.

Duneworm is also weak against swords Water and wind natural damage. Of the two, this it is important that you bring several characters with wind moves; the battle takes place on the leyline of the Earth to come heal Duneworm every round unless you negate it by constantly casting spells from the school of aerology or using physical attacks that also deal wind damage.

Bow skills that hit all targets, e.g Rapid volley or Rain of arrowsare also good for this fight as both Kifrith and Swordsman are either vulnerable to archery.

Having at least one skillful possession of the ball Cross section can help deal with the Killing Machine before he takes too much damage, and then you can focus your attack on Kayfrith, who is vulnerable to both Swords and Light.
