I managed to pass these and kill the 4-head gleeok after. I'm just curious how you guys done it. I wonder if there is another way than burning yourself up to dodge the hits.
official third quest ... red bubbles at end of level 7
water of life!
haven't played the "official" third quest myself, but I believe you would be able to boomerang them still and then just walk over them. that's what I do in the bonus dungeon of my quest, HowHigh.qst, when I'm testing it. I have some really hard rooms with mad wallmasters and red bubbles. they're especially hard because the walkways are one tile wide and you need to get by or through a few wallys before pausing the bubbles and hope the bubble doesn't come for you before the wallys are dead. hehe.
anyway: boomerang.
Only the fire boomie can stop the bubbles.
There's no fire boomerang in the O3Q, sorry...
Once out of the red bubble room, you can use a potion to get your sword back... or you can use the Magic Wand to defeat the Gleeok (it's hidden in Level 7).
