Walkthrough[edit]
The Orange Stone is located on level 7, while there are Orbs on the levels 3 and 6.
On level 1, exit the dungeon room to the east, then follow the path on level 2 to the ladder to level 3. Go through the rooms first to reach the orb, then backtrack to exit to the northwest. Take a ladder of your choice to level 4. There are strange winds on that level. Enter the eastern dungeon room and enter one of the smaller chambers to reveal tunnel to the ladder.
On level 5, go directly to level 6. You will encounter more winds. First touch the three orbs, then ascend the two other ladders to get the gold on level 5. Next, take the ladder that deposits you north of the level 7 dungeon rooms. Find the secret wall in the east and behind it the Orange Stone.
