FIRST AND FOREMOST: READ THE MANUAL!!! IF YOU WILL TAKE THE TIME TO READ THROUGH
THE MANUAL, FROM COVER TO COVER, YOU WILL FIND THE ANSWERS TO MANY OF YOUR
QUESTIONS! THIS IS A VERY INVOLVED GAME, AND WE'VE DONE OUR BEST TO EXPLAIN AS
MUCH AS POSSIBLE IN THE MANUAL. NOW, ON TO THE HINTS. SECTION 1 HINTS WILL GIVE
YOU SOME GENERAL HINTS. SECTION 2 HINTS WILL TELL YOU EVERYTHING ABOUT A
PARTICULAR PUZZLE OR ITEM LOCATION. THEREFORE, WE SUGGEST YOU TRY EVERYTHING YOU
CAN THINK OF BEFORE REFERRING TO SECTION 2, AND THAT YOU READ ONLY THAT
PARTICULAR HINT THAT YOU NEED, SO AS NOT TO SPOIL THE GAME FOR YOURSELF.
SECTION 1 HINTS:
Q: HOW DO I GET OUT OF LORD BRITISH'S CASTLE?
A: GO ALL THE WAY SOUTH FROM LORD BRITISH, UNTIL YOU SEE THE PORTCULLIS (IT
LOOKS LIKE A DOOR MADE OF STEEL BARS). TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT ARE TWO SMALL ROOMS
WITH LOCKED METAL DOORS. GO INTO YOUR INVENTORY AND USE KEY B, WHICH YOU GOT
FROM LORD BRITISH, ON ONE OF THE DOORS. INSIDE, YOU WILL FIND A LEVER. LOOK AT
IT, THEN MOVE IT. THE PORTCULLIS WILL BE OPEN, AND YOU CAN WALK OUT THROUGH IT!
Q: WHAT DO I DO NEXT?
A: THE FIRST STEP IN COMPLETING THE GAME IS TO FREE THE SHRINES. FIRST, YOU WILL
NEED THE CORRESPONDING RUNE FOR EACH SHRINE. THESE RUNES ARE USUALLY FOUND IN
ONE OF THE TOWNS NEAR EACH SHRINE-TALK TO THE LEADER OF THE TOWN AND HE WILL
TELL YOU HOW TO OBTAIN THE RUNE. IN SECTION 2 OF THIS HINT SHEET, WE WILL LIST
THE EXACT LOCATION OF EACH RUNE. DON'T PEEK UNLESS YOU'RE REALLY STUCK! YOU MAY
FREE THE SHRINES ALL AT ONCE, OR ONE AT A TIME, IN ANY ORDER YOU WISH. *DON'T
WORRY ABOUT THE SHRINES OF DILIGENCE, PASSION, OR CONTROL AT THIS TIME!* THEY
MUST BE LEFT FOR LATER IN THE GAME.
Q: HOW DO I MEDITATE? HOW DO I GO UP LEVELS?
A: TO MEDITATE, STAND NEXT TO THE SHRINE AND TALK TO IT. MEDITATING RAISES YOUR
LEVELS. *NOTE*: SEE PAGE 28 & 29 IN THE MANUAL FOR IMPORTANT INFORMATION BEFORE
MEDITATING!!
Q: HOW DO I FREE THE SHRINES? I'VE DEFEATED THE GARGOYLES, BUT I CAN'T TOUCH THE
MOONSTONE ON THE SHRINE, AND I CAN'T MEDITATE.
A: YOU MUST STAND NEXT TO THE SHRINE, GO INTO YOUR INVENTORY, AND USE THE
CORRESPONDING RUNE ON THE SHRINE. *DON'T USE THE MOONSTONES YOU GET FROM THE
SHRINES! YOU'LL NEED THEM LATER!!* USE THE MOONORB LORD BRITISH GAVE YOU FOR
TELEPORTING (THE ONE THAT PRODUCES A RED MOONGATE- SEE PAGE 27 IN THE MANUAL FOR
LOCATIONS.
Q: HOW DO I USE THE CHART ON PAGE 27 ?
A: 'AVATAR', AT THE CENTER OF THE CHART, MEANS YOU. THE LOCATIONS LISTED ON THE
CHART REPRESENT WHERE YOU WILL GO IF YOU PLACE THE MOONORB IN THAT SPACE. FOR
EXAMPLE, TO TELEPORT TO BRITAIN, USE THE MOONORB, THEN WHEN THE WHITE BOX
APPEARS, USE THE DIRECTIONAL PAD TO MOVE IT UNTIL IT'S 2 SPACES ABOVE YOU. THE
CHART TELLS YOU WHERE TO PLACE THE MOONORB TO GO TO EACH OF THE OTHER LOCATIONS
LISTED. ***WHERE YOU ARE STANDING AND WHICH DIRECTION YOU FACE DO NOT MATTER.
WHAT MATTERS IS WHERE YOU PLACE THE ORB IN RELATION TO YOURSELF.*** YOU CANNOT
PLACE THE MOONORB ON TOP OF AN OBJECT SUCH AS A TREE, BUSH, ROCK, ETC., AND YOU
CANNOT USE IT INDOORS.
Q: WHAT ARE THE BEST WEAPONS TO USE?
A: WE SUGGEST USING WEAPONS THAT ALLOW YOU TO ATTACK FROM A DISTANCE, SUCH AS
THE TRIPLE CROSSBOW OR MAGIC BOW. REMEMBER TO KEEP PLENTY OF ARROWS, OR BOLTS
FOR THE CROSSBOW, IN EACH CHARACTER'S INVENTORY. THE HALBERD IS ANOTHER WEAPON
THAT CAN HIT SEVERAL SPACES AWAY.
Q: WHERE DO I GET A TRIPLE CROSSBOW?
A: ASK GWENNETH AT IOLO'S BOWS ABOUT 'CROSSBOW'; FIRST YOU MUST SPEAK TO SOMEONE
IN MINOC ABOUT CROSSBOWS.
Q: WHAT DO I USE SHERRY FOR? HOW DO I USE HER? WHERE CAN I FIND HER?
A: SHERRY CAN BE USED TO SCOUT AROUND CORNERS, OR TO GO INTO SPACES TOO SMALL
FOR THE REST OF THE PARTY TO ENTER- *HINT HINT*! THE MANUAL EXPLAINS HOW TO USE
SHERRY ON PAGE 26. YOU WILL FIND HER IN LORD BRITISH'S CASTLE, IN ONE OF THE
HALLWAY PASSAGES. MAKE SURE YOU GIVE HER SOME CHEESE, FROM THE DINING ROOM, OR
SHE WON'T JOIN!
Q: I HAD SHERRY, OR I HAD A MOONSTONE, AND NOW IT'S GONE!! WHAT HAPPENED?
A: RELAX! SHE'S IN ONE OF YOUR CHARACTERS' BAGS! GO INTO YOUR INVENTORY AND PUT
THE CURSOR ON THE BAG. PRESS THE 'X' BUTTON, NOT THE 'A' BUTTON!
Q: O.K., I'VE FREED ALL THE SHRINES. NOW WHAT?
A: WELL, THE GARGOYLES ARE STILL AROUND, RIGHT? REMEMBER THAT BOOK OF PROPHECIES
THAT IOLO GRABBED JUST BEFORE YOU ESCAPED THE STONE SLAB? TRY TAKING THAT TO
MARIAH AT THE LYCAEUM. PERHAPS SHE CAN TRANSLATE IT FOR YOU!
Q: NOW WHAT?
A: OBVIOUSLY YOU MUST FIND THE SECOND HALF OF THE TOME. SEE BELOW.
Q: HOW DO I FIND THE OTHER HALF OF THE TOME?
A: FIRST, YOU'LL NEED TO FIND THE GYPSIES. THERE ARE 2 SETS OF GYPSIES. FOR THE
ONES YOU WANT, LOOK IN TRINSIC. YOU MAY HAVE TO STAY AROUND TOWN AWHILE BEFORE
THEY SHOW UP. THEN, WHEN YOU GET THEIR INFORMATION, LOOK FOR HOMER AT THE
TAVERN.
Q: WHERE IS BUCCANEER'S DEN?
A: YOU'LL NEED A BOAT OR A SKIFF, WHICH CAN BE PURCHASED IN MINOC. SAIL NORTH
FROM SERPENT'S HOLD TO GET TO BUCCANEER'S DEN ISLAND, AT 33S 34E.
Q: WHERE ARE THE REST OF THE PIECES OF THE MAP?
A: FIRST, FIND THE ONES HOMER TOLD YOU ABOUT. THEN, TALK TO SANDY THE COOK IN
TRINSIC.
Q: WHERE IS MARIAH'S STUDY?
A: IT'S THE ROOM IN THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE LYCAEUM BUILDING. THE SILVER
TABLET IS ON THE DESK- IT SAYS 'PIECE OF SILVER' WHEN YOU PICK IT UP.
Q: HOW DO I GET TO THE GARGOYLES' KINGDOM? WHAT DO I DO FIRST THERE?
A: GO THROUGH THE DUNGEON HYTHLOTH- THE ENTRANCE IS ON THE ISLE OF THE AVATAR:
USE YOUR MOONORB TO GO TO THE SHRINE OF HUMILITY, THEN LOOK IN THE NORTHEAST
CORNER OF THE SHRINE AREA. LOOK FOR CAPTAIN JOHN IN THE DUNGEON- HE HAS A SCROLL
THAT WILL TEACH YOU THE GARGOYLES' LANGUAGE. USE IT IMMEDIATELY! MAKE SURE YOU
TALK TO THE YOUNG GARGOYLE BEH LEM FIRST- HE SHOWS UP RIGHT AT THE EXIT FROM
HYTHLOTH, BUT ONLY AT NOON. LISTEN TO WHAT HE SAYS, THEN ADD HIM TO THE PARTY.
YOU MUST HAVE HIM IN YOUR PARTY, AND DO WHAT HE SAYS, TO AVOID BEING ATTACKED BY
THE WHOLE GARGOYLE RACE!
Q: WHERE IS STONEGATE?
A: HEAD SOUTH FROM MINOC IN A SKIFF OR A BALLOON. STONEGATE IS AT 10N, 37E.
**DON'T ATTACK THE CYCLOPS!!** TALK TO HIM!
Q: HOW DO I GET A FISH FOR THE CYCLOPS IN STONEGATE?
A: TAKE THE FISHING ROD FROM STONEGATE, GO OUTSIDE, AND USE IT IN THE NEARBY
RIVER.
Q: WHY CAN'T I OPEN THE DOORS ON THE FIRST LEVEL DOWN IN STONEGATE?
A: GO BACK UPSTAIRS, WALK SOUTH FROM THE OUTSIDE DOOR UNTIL YOU HIT THE WALL,
AND LOOK FOR A SECRET DOOR.
Q: WHERE IN STONEGATE IS THE VORTEX CUBE?
A: GO TO LEVEL 2, THEN GO TO THE SOUTHWEST ROOM. GO DOWN 2 LEVELS, THEN LOOK FOR
A SECRET DOOR IN THE NORTH WALL OF THE NORTHWEST ROOM.
Q: HOW DO I GET TO THE TEMPLE OF SINGULARITY?
A: YOU'LL NEED THE BALLOON. TALK TO LADY ISABELLA IN MINOC. ONCE YOU'VE GOT THE
BALLOON, GO TO THE SLAB USING YOUR MOONORB, THEN SAIL NORTH OVER THE MOUNTAINS
USING THE BALLOON.
Q: HOW DO I GET INTO SUTEK'S CASTLE?
A: FIRST, YOU'LL NEED TO BLOW UP THE DOOR WITH A POWDER KEG. THEN, LOOK
EVERYWHERE FOR SECRET DOORS.
Q: I'M ON LEVEL 2 OF SUTEK'S CASTLE, BUT CAN'T GO ANY FURTHER. WHY?
A: IN THE ROOM AT THE NW CORNER, YOU'LL NEED TO THROW THE WALL SWITCH ON THE
RIGHT- NOT THE FLOOR LEVER. WHEN YOU GET TO THE HORSE, TURN RIGHT. ON THE NEXT
LEVEL DOWN, HEAD SOUTH THEN TAKE THE SECOND PASSAGE HEADING EAST. TAKE THE
LADDER DOWN. THE PLANS ARE ON LEVEL 4- SEARCH THE BALLOONIST LYING ON THE GROUND
AT 65S 52E.
Q: WHY CAN'T I GET ANYWHERE IN DUNGEON WRONG?
A: FIRST, GO ONE ROOM TO THE RIGHT AND TAKE THE LADDER. NOW, GO STRAIGHT NORTH
AND THROW THE LEVER AT 11:00, THE ONE BELOW THE TOP LEFT LEVER. NOW, GO TWO
ROOMS TO THE LEFT AND THROW THE LEFT LEVER. GO TO THE ROOM ALL THE WAY ON THE
RIGHT, IN THE MIDDLE ROW OF THE 3 ROWS OF ROOMS. THROW THE LEVER. GO TO THE ROOM
ALL THE WAY ON THE LEFT, IN THE MIDDLE ROW. TAKE THE LADDER TO LEVEL 3, AND LOOK
IN ALL THE ROOMS ON LEVEL 3 FOR A SECRET DOOR.
