We didn't need to be spoon fed quests back in the real Classic days, what makes it a requirement now? New players (esp from this generation) these days are pretty stupid but not
that stupid. The whole point of questing, at least on Graal, was to explore and find it yourself. The way Classic is now completely breaks the
you are the player feeling. Our characters talk to NPCs and we don't even get dialogue input. We then blindly have to follow.
What if I don't want to fight baddies? What if I'm a lizardon rawr :3? What if I don't care about Zol's pub quest right now? Can I do others? Or will that break the storyline? Wat?

How?
Until the point where you can lower the water level which actually happens to be at the opposite end of the level you begin from it is pretty much linear unless you decide to take a right turn in the level above the first level having obtained a small key, but even then you cannot progress further as you require the Boss Key.
Once the water level is lowered you can immediately see the 2 new doors you can enter and one of these takes you through levels you'd have already been in, the other would also take you into a level you'd have seen already had you decided to climb down a ladder in the 2nd level but obviously you're blocked by a gate that has to be opened from within that level.
It's not really the direction you have to figure out, it's really just a matter of figuring out the combination of things you must do in order to obtain the Boss Key.

You're a new player. You get tossed in. Ok I'm in some green stuff I guess ill climb that ladder looking thin-O**** WHAT WAS THAT? IS THAT A RAT? IT JUST HIT ME HOW THE HELL DOES IT HURT ITS AS SMALL AS MY FOOT. This door seems 2 be locked I mean it surely wont open if i touch it OH SWEET IT WAS UNLOCKED COOL WHY WAS THERE EVEN A LOCKED DOOR LOOKING THING TO BEGIN WITH. Sweet room-i guess ill just go up cuz its fun. Oh look a block and some red carpet on the floor. Guess ill just keep moving righ-****ING RAT IN THE WAY GOD DAMNIT. Work my way down nice nice fighting mice is heroic. Cool donuts!! Can i eat them? wats dis lever do ok ill push it or someting sweet the green stuff is going down. Ill just go up n-WTF I THOUGHT I KILLED THIS FML.
That should sum up my experience x2.
It was pretty easy but confused me at the same time. It's not that it was impossibly difficult, it was just
annoying and a chore. It wasn't fun. If people aren't having fun they won't bother continuing.
The boss where you run around in circles until it gets tired then hit it from behind.

What Zol's brother says is actually meant to be a hint to keep away from it rather than attempt to hackNslash it directly where attempting to do so would be exposing you to its big sharp teeth rather that its furry body, slashing it from behind however (and yes the tail is its designated weak spot) means that it is unguarded, and it's actually fairly easy to beat once you figure out how to damage it and this isn't exactly a situation you wouldn't naturally encounter through trial and error either.

It sounds more like "DON'T TRY TO BE A HERO, LOOK WHAT IT DID TO ME". Being Graal I expect to side-step dodge its bite and slash its body like a real champ. Not run around in circles until it gets tired to slash its tail.
p.s slashing it's face would prob do more damage than slashing its tail. My character has a shield, he wants to use it bro.
