Introduction to the Harbor District Gameplay in Dungeon Castle 4, and Strategies for the Harbor District

The port area of Dungeon Castle 4, as the core map of Chapter 3, often experiences broken event chains due to task connection issues - that is, a blank task list or no interaction with NPCs. To help everyone quickly pass through the map, I bring you this guide on playing the port area in Dungeon Castle 4. In fact, the various problems caused by task interruptions are mostly due to missing prerequisite tasks or incorrect interaction options. Let's learn more about it!

Most of the broken chains stem from not completing the blacksmith's rust removal prerequisite. Return to near the port entrance and find the blacksmith, continue the conversation until the help-seeking plot is triggered. He will ask for "ship bone repair materials", at which point the "Rusted Legacy" quest will refresh in your quest log. Then enter the two rooms next to the blacksmith: choose "search the corner box" in the first room to get the ghost ship pass, and select "pry open the floor compartment" in the second room to obtain the rust remover. If you mistakenly choose other options, you need to re-enter the room and operate again.

Carry the pass to the sea area to trigger boarding. You will encounter three waves of corrupted sailors (physical group attack) + wraith healers (rear healing). Recommended lineup: a tank with 100+ armor (such as a Heavy Guard) in the front, and a fire mage (max out the "Blazing Spell") in the back. At the start, the fire mage should lock onto the healer and spam skills, killing them within 5 seconds to prevent healing. After clearing the area, open the treasure chest at the stern to get the quenched steel ingot, return it to the blacksmith to restart the main storyline.

If you still have missing events after turning in the ingot, check your backpack for a message in a bottle (randomly dropped from chests on the map). Go to the small island in the lower right corner and use the item to summon the old sailor. Choose "listen to the past" during the conversation to unlock the hidden line, and upon completion, you will be rewarded with the Pearl of the Sea (collectible) and event points. Note that this island is obscured by rocks, so you need to hug the coastline to find it. The drunk sailor needs to be talked to three times before he gives the quest to find the flask, and the merchant ship attack event is blocked by stormy weather, requiring clear skies to trigger. Before operating, make sure to manually save in the settings page to avoid accidental resets. If the above steps are ineffective, completely exiting and re-entering the game can force a refresh of the event status.

The key to repairing the event chain in the port area lies in the blacksmith task and the message in a bottle event, with the blacksmith's Rusted Legacy being the core to unlocking the main story, requiring continuous dialogue to trigger the task, and entering the two rooms on the right to choose the third option to obtain the ghost ship pass and rust remover. This guide on playing the port area in Dungeon Castle 4 ends here. Carrying 30 bottles of healing potions is the minimum guarantee for survival. Everyone, go give it a try!
