Thor Volcano is a 3-floor dungeon teeming with fire spirits and Boss-type monsters. Hidden within is a secret military base where Arunafeltz forces plot against the Rune-Midgarts Kingdom.

Story

Upon the opening of Rachel's gates, trade and economy boomed, increasing travelers and merchants. One ambitious merchant heard of a valuable mineral called "Hetarium," black as a beetle but shining with many colors like an opal under sunlight, said to be found only in the southernmost lands of Arunafeltz.

After days of tiresome traveling and fending off monsters, the merchant spotted what seemed to be a town within a canyon. Before him was a busy village embedded within the canyons, where people held up the famed jewel that radiated various colors. A guard smiled and greeted them: "Welcome to the Canyon Village of Veins!"

When the Hetarium craze erupted, the fire spirits in Thor Volcano suddenly grew much stronger and aggressive. The people of Veins blocked the main entrance, but uniformed men were seen going in and out. The Veins consul dispatched investigators but they could not find a way in. What could be going on inside Thor Volcano?

Thor Volcano

According to legend, Thor fought a fierce battle with evil fire spirits and hammered them down with such force that the earth itself was wounded and shed burning blood, thus creating Thor Volcano. The caves are teeming with mysterious fire spirit monsters.

Thor Volcano has a unique difficulty curve: the second floor houses the least dangerous monsters, the first floor is stronger, and the third floor is the most dangerous. Most monsters are Fire attribute and Boss-type. It might be a little easier than Bio Labs, but it will still challenge the most battle-hardened players.

Veins Siblings Quest

Finding the Lost Sister
A boy named Karyn in Veins is searching for his sister. She is locked up deep inside Thor Volcano 2F. You must find a locksmith, gather ingredients for special soap made from camel dung, create a key mold, and forge a master key to free her.

This quest requires entering Thor Volcano three times, up to the second floor. You'll need Green Herbs, Jellopy, Milk, Empty Bottles, Monster's Feed, an Unripe Apple, Yellow Potions, and Steel. The soap-making process involves tracking down a lost Silky Camel in the fields and collecting droppings with a chance-based system.

Rewards include an Old Purple Box from the camel farmer and experience points from Karyn for reuniting the siblings.
