Quest 20 Diddle Had It! More quests

Prerequisites: Diddle's Letter, AF Firefly Lamp, AF Trembling Spoon

   Visit the tavern in Lumina after completing Diddle's Letter and you'll see Diddle and Capella happily entertaining the Dudbears. Speak with them, then leave town. Return; the second time you talk to Diddle, he'll storm off and you'll receive the quest "Diddle Had It!"

   Kill time on other quests; eventually, you'll see some Shadoles flying into Lumina. (You have to have created the Underworld first.) Go back into town and return to the tavern. Capella leaves just as you enter. Go to the town map; you'll see Shadoles grab Diddle and carry him off to the Underworld. Chase them there and you'll automatically be dropped down to the bottom of the Underworld. Pokiehl is here; he'll let you save your game.

   Your mission is now to make it up to the third floor and rescue Diddle. This isn't as easy as it seems; if you touch any of the Shadoles, you'll be warped back down to Pokiehl. You shouldn't have too much trouble in the first two screens. Just stick to the outside wall and steer clear of all the Shadoles. There's a few fights up next (including the rare Chimera Lord enemy), and then you get to the two hard rooms, which are populated by teleporting Shadoles. Don't run; you won't be able to stop yourself in time if a Shadole appears in front of you. Edge around the outside of the room and don't worry if you get zapped a few times; sometimes there's really nothing you can to dodge them.

   Once you make up to the third floor, you'll rescue Diddle and be forced to fight a laughably easy "boss": an Ape Mummy. Crush it and the quest will end.
