** The [[Grand Finale]] of almost every single game usually involves a map-long Fetch Quest from one end to the other, usually as far as it's possible to go, and usually back again. (''Magic Land'', for example; go to Hades, get Wizardslayer Trident; traverse map to the top of the Ice Tower, use Trident, get Zaks' Ring; traverse map back to The Cracks Of Gehenna, [[Lord of the Rings|throw Ring into lava]]. Then start hunting for the [[Last Lousy Point|Last Lousy Diamond...]]) |
