The city of Cantlin is typically the last city the player visits due to it's distance from [[Tantegel]] and the strength of the surrounding monsters. When first approached, the city is guarded by a [[golem]] whose battle is triggered when the hero first attempts to enter the ramparts surrounding the city. This battle is a one time event, and is the only place where a golem can be encountered. The weapons and armor shop in Cantlin sells the best equipment the character can purchase in the game.

The city takes its name from the [[Wikipedia:Cantlin Stone| Cantlin Stone]], which sits near the boarder between England and Wales. The name comes from William Cantlin, a peddler who died under mysterious circumstances between the English Bettws-y-Crwyn parish and the Welsh Kerry parish. An dispute arose over which parish should bury the man who had no family, with Bettws taking the task and claiming the plot of land afterwards. The grave is marked by a cross standing tall in amid the empty field, giving the location it's distinction. | The city takes its name from the [[Wikipedia:Cantlin Stone|Cantlin Stone]], which sits near the boarder between England and Wales.
