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 Beefiness. |
Occurs at The Dungeons of Doom.
