Foal of the Dead Tips and Strategies

Do Beast Farming if Short on Gold

If you're lacking Gold funds to buy the Breeding Pen Spellcraft, you could take on the beast farming route in the Forbidden Forest to rescue lots of beasts to sell. This route should give you much more than 1,000 Gold in just under 20 minutes.
