malatina's course of terror game

so i've been determined to complete this mini game. today i finally got through all 4 courses with over 1.5mins to spare with 10 keys. and there are 11 chests. the final chest requiring a precious key. i figured that key may be in 1 of the 10 other chests, but nope. so i cannot open that chest, cannot complete the game. i did not see any tile that was different, as i was gong through the game. so what did i miss? how do you complete this and to anyone that has what is usually in the 11th chest and is it worth wasting 30 tokens on? cause the rewards in that game stink compared to the other one.

The special chests are guaranteed ghost cards.

From the precious chests, you can get guaranteed Ghost Cards, 1-2 Almighty Repair Hammers, 1-2 Arcane Transmutor Charges, and either a number of tokens or a rare item. Rare items include:

  • A chest containing a boss furniture recipe (you can get Perodia's head hanging over your fireplace lol). Need to get a rare mat off the world boss though.
  • A chest containing a random musical instrument
  • A temporary horse voucher which gives you either a 7day or 30day horse.

Think there's more, but I can't remember them off the top of my head. :P

Also, for Ghost Cards, you trade them to get a special title. Titles are:

  • 50 Ghost Cards - Please give me a little more time
    • +5 All Attributes
    • +28 Defense
    • +100 Maximum HP


  • 100 Ghost Cards - Ghost Card Collector
    • +6 All Attributes
    • +30 Defense
    • +160 Maximum HP


  • 150 Ghost Card - I'm working on it. :P lol

I'm pretty sure that Ghost Card Collector is slightly better than Contender of Malatina's Game. I'm assuming that the 150 Ghost Card title will be on par with King of Moles. I'll let you know once I get 100 more cards :P

To spawn the first chest you have to beat round 2 in less than 3 minutes. To get the first precious key and spawn the second chest you must beat round 3 in less than 3 minutes. To get the second precious key you must beat round 4 in less than 3 minutes.

Thank you for the answer Delve.

That's what I thought... but I did get 2 the two special chests but no key...

from what you wrote, if I get the second chest I should have the first key...

I am missing something here...

I'm not sure, but I think the keys may be based on total time while the chests are relative to the round. So to get the first key you'd have to beat round 3 with 9 minutes left on the clock, but to get the second chest you just have beat the round less than three minutes after it says [Round 3].

last question. How am I supposed to actualy get the key? drop from the sky in my bag if I am fast enough? talk to an npc?

It falls out of the sky.

Just remember the Malatina's Mantra: "MOVE FASTER, FASTER, FASTER!!" and you'll get the chests as often as possible. That's really the only thing you can worry about, get through the course as quickly as possible and don't stop to loot the chests until the end unless you know there's no way you could finish round 4 in the time limit.

its time based, you can actually get 12 chests.
do second round fast enough to unlock the chest, do third fast enough to get key for that one and unlock other chest and 4th fast enough to get key for
last chest, once you unlock the chest you have 3 minutes for next round to get key for that chest, its easy enough, i sometimes only get 11 of them though :(

Update: I get all 12 chests almost without fail. Tips...
- The first row will always have 2 canons (blue squares). Click those first.
- Meanwhile, be mapping out the fastest route all the way to the end square.
- Fastest route is 1) through canon squares, 2) through void protector squares, 3) through key squares, 4) through barricade squares (assuming you can dps them).
- After spawning the two canons and mapping a good route, get a burning branch (click a weed square, click again to get branch, click torch to light it). Save the branch for emergencies (will stay lit through all 4 rounds).
- Start killing squares along your route. Remember, it is faster to go straight through (possibly with side trips to get keys) than to go all over the map.
- High-level mage is probably fastest through. Pop your catalysis when you need to kill a barricade (and don't have a canon) and flame the heck out of it.
- Remember to tab and kill the gate that the protector comes out of, not the protector itself. If you time it right (half a tick after it spawns), the protector will despawn.
- Wait until the end to open chests.

Average time per round = 2 minutes. I usually have between 5 and 8 minutes left on the clock to open chests. You will get tough rounds (bad placement of key squares) that just can't be done in 3 minutes, but only about 15% of the time.

Good luck!
