  19. 19
    Continue hugging the wall to get around to another corner with an extra life.

    Behind the lowest step here are two more purple gems.
  22. 22
    Jump onto the step and up to the next big one.

  27. 27
    Destroy the chest beside it for a purple gem.
  28. 28
    As you go over the wooden bridge, a Wavy-shield Gnorc will greet you. Charge it for a purple gem.

    Halvor is found up at the very top of the biggest building in the level. Go up bridges and stuff until you reach him.
Tips
  • Wavy-shield Gnorcs must be charged as they are shielded.
  • The Cook's spoon attack is harmless and will only bounce you back.
  • The thief chasing the dragon egg can be tricky due to the many walls.
