  • KAKT: Heart of Midnight

    B = battle (between two other groups)
    C = chest
    E = encounter
    F = campfire
    H = hero
    J1 = jump to J2
    K = locked door (needs key)
    M = point of interest
    N = optional battle
    P = traps
    R = shrine
    S = start
    T = treasure pile
    X = hidden treasure

    I found the final battle here to be a crazy spike in difficulty, even on Moderate. [I completed it one notch down on Normal]. You cannot change difficulty once on a mission. You can only change difficulty on the world map or in Camelot.
