CATACOMB



Catacomb Map
Thanks to The Retro for the map of the Catacomb.

Catacomb is the first area you encounter. Your main purpose in this area is to get the Running Boots, level up, get cards, get items, defeat the boss, and get the Double Jump. First you want to try and get cards from:
Bomb Skeletons (Salamander card)
Boneheads (Mercury card)
Earth Demon (Serpent card)

You can get the running boots by going to Point 1 on the map. After killing the Earth Demon, there is a platform to slide under; you can slide by pressing Down+Jump. With the boots you can run by quickly tapping right or left twice. Now that you can move faster, I prefer to start getting the 3 cards listed above. Killing the Earth Demon not only gets you a card but you can get a lot of experience too.

The boss of this area is Cerberus. He isn't especially hard if you have leveled up a few times and have the Holy Water (check the Bosses section for the full strategy). The Cerberus room is labeled on the map as a skull. Your reward for killing him is the Double Jump Necklace.

Some areas of the Catacomb are not reachable until later in the game, when you get new abilities.
