You begin on Shipwreck Beach still trapped in a cage. To get out pick up the branch and use it to smash open the cage door. While exploring this area you’ll come across Giant Turtles and water humanoid creatures called Zarchtons. The Zarchtons have a jumping melee attack, leaping over a square to reach you. Take your time searching the area because you’ll soon be fighting your first boss, the Viper Roots.
