A Dash of Boulder

In the Dungeon of Doom, you encounter a hallway blocked by a huge boulder. You push and push and push, but eventually reach a dead end, at which point you have to just turn around and leave.

You'll always wonder what was at the end of that corridor.

You gain 21 Strongness.

Occurs at The Dungeons of Doom.
