Story =============================================================================== During the days of the Crusades, a man known as Mac Bride joined the King's cause to fight over in the Middle East with some Templar Knights. While on his way to the Crusades, his troop is attacked by fearsome monsters. Many are killed, many are taken captive, but Mac manages only to be knocked out. When he comes to, he finds out what had happened and sets out to rescue his allies from the clutches of Garkham. Little does he know that his quest to free them turns into a quest to save the world from the evil wizards. =============================================================================== II. Characters =============================================================================== Here is a list of all the characters in the game and their abilities. When forming a party, you have to think of really one thing. With higher HP comes a slower speed, and with a higher speed comes a lower HP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- a. Adventurer ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There is only one adventurer in the game and that is Mac Bride, the main character. Mac uses swords for the most part and has the ability to work with Machines throughout the game. Name Sex Age HP Rate Speed Mac Bride Male 25 300 * (Lv + 1) Average ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- b. Archers ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archers are much weaker then the rest of the group, but also faster and can attack from a distance. Archers have enough Agility to fit through any tight spot. Name Sex Age HP Rate Speed Drulak Male 25 250 * (Lv + 1) Average Khat Female 20 200 * (Lv + 1) Fast Tuek Male 30 300 * (Lv + 1) Slow Yesdi Female 25 250 * (Lv + 1) Average Unless you can protect your archers well, stick with either Drulak or Yesdi. Tuek may have more HP but he is VERY slow for an archer. If you think you can use the speed well, take Khat, just keep her at a distance from the heavy combat. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- c. Warriors ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Warriors, though slower than the rest of the group, possess great Strength. They have enough HP to tank the rest of the party and their weapons are usually strong enough to kill in one shot. Name Sex Age HP Rate Speed Vigrad Male 35 350 * (Lv + 1) Average Darkor Male 30 400 * (Lv + 1) Very Slow Turgarra Female 30 350 * (Lv + 1) Average Kornagen Female 20 300 * (Lv + 1) Fast Kornagen's speed can come in handy in battle, but she has the lowest HP rating of the warriors. Darkor can last a long time, but he moves so slow that the action is already done by the time he gets there. Vigrad or Turgarra are your average Warriors. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- d. Magicians ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Magicians are physically weak, but their strength lies within their magic. They are not to be put into the middle of combat like Mac Bride and your Warrior are. Keep them close to the Archers. Name Sex Age HP Rate Speed Uraeus Male 70 300 * (Lv + 1) Slow Oxalis Female 30 200 * (Lv + 1) Average Demagos Male 40 250 * (Lv + 1) Slow Avalonia Female 20 250 * (Lv + 1) Average Though Uraeus has the highest HP of the group, you'll probably find that your best choice of Magicians is Avalonia. She has the same speed as Oxalis, but more HP, and has the same HP as Demagos, but moves faster. If you need the extra HP then go for Uraeus. Don't bother with Oxalis or Demagos. =============================================================================== III. Walkthrough =============================================================================== Since the game is difficult to describe in a way, I'm using a bit of my own code to help me. A chest will be indicated by square brackets and the contents will be inside; for example [Life Vials x2] or [Life Vials x2, Archer's Arrows x20]. Secrets will be indicated within { }. Also, only item drops will be noted, as Xp drops stop happening after each character has leveled up. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- a. Level 1 - Village of Zarko ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 Secrets, 13 Chests, !Fountain of Youth! -Isle of Repose- Drops: Adventurer's Exploding Powder x10 Upon seeing the cut scene, you'll enter the Isle of Repose where Mac Bride, the hero of this story, is stationed. Before moving anywhere, click on the Adventurer's Katana so that he'll have something to attack with. Just to the right is some Adventurer's Exploding Powder. Use any consumable objects wisely. Anyway, make your way north to the campsite. There are about 11 Glores to test your skills early on. Take it slow and take them on one at a time if you can. Near the campsite is [Life Vial x3]. Go southwest until you reach the bridge. Here is Drulak, an Archer. Recruit him and head west to the next area. -Village of Zarko- Drops: Archer's Arrows x90, Adventurer's Exposive Powder x10 The panel with an ahnk on it is a stone to revive fallen allies. Walk the dead over on top of the panel and the character will be revived with some HP. Follow the road northward, killing any Glores in your way. In the middle of the road is a broken down cart and Vigrad. Recruit him and enter the town walls. Inside the Tavern there are 3 other Warriors you can exchange Vigrad for if you don't want him. In the shop, you can exchange Archers if you don't want Drulak (a hint on this part; if you want arrows, exchange characters temporarily and right click on their bow. Exchange until 3 sets of bows are on the floor, then taking the Archer you want to keep, pick up all 3 bows). Inside the Barn in the town is a chest with [Life Vial x2, Sledgehammer]. Exit the walls and head directly east. Here is the Fountain of Youth. This will allow you to restore the HP completely of the one who touches it, so keep that in mind. Follow the road northeast. Just to the south of the fountain is a stone to move. Move the stone and send someone inside the cave. There is only a Zlig there so don't worry. Inside are two chests, one with [Life Vial x2] and one with [Life Vial, Gold Coins]. Come back up and head back to the shop. Trade the Gold Coins to the shopkeeper for an Adept Warrior's Axe. To the south of the town is a lake with a whirlpool in it. Have someone go inside. Inside are 4 Blue Buttons. Step on them and the "Blue Chest" will open. Head back out. Go back to the road and follow North. Kill the Glores nearby, picking up any Xp that you can (one of your characters should have gotten 300 Xp by now). Keep in mind that during a level, a character can only take 300 Xp. Follow the road to the Lake of the Magician. -Lake of the Magician (South)- Drops: Archer's Arrows x65, Adventurer's Breastplate, Adventurer's Explosive Powder x10 Be prepared for plenty of Glores here. Make your way west and across the river using the stones. Enter the Magician's House and recruit any Magician you'd like (though I recommend Avalonia). Also, pick up the [Life Vial x5] in the house before returning back to the road. Follow the road east to Passage in the River. -Passage in the River- Drops: Archer's Arrows x180, Magician's Fireballs, Warrior's Shield Adventurer's Explosive Powder x20, Magician's Invisibility x5 Follow the road. Glores will be blocking a stone incantation. Get rid of them (make sure you get the Magician's Fireballs as well). Have your Magician read the incantation to form a magic bridge across the river. Cross the river and head south. Move the block and enter the cave to get [Gold Coins, Life Vial]. Exit back out and head west then south. -Isle of Repose- Though the passage said to Forest Labyrinth, the map is that of the Isle of Repose. Make your way south past the Zombie and Glores to the chest that contains [Life Vial x3, Archer's Arrows x50, Adventurer's Exploding Powder x10]. Make your way back north to the Passage in the River. -Passage in the River- Make your way to the northeast side of this map (follow the road north to get to the passage in the cliffs. Make your way in, grabbing the Magician's Invisibility along the way, to the chest with a [Life Vial x4, Stone Key]. Make your way back and follow the road west, killing any Glores in your way to the northern half of the Lake of the Magician. -Lake of the Magician (North)- Drops: Archer's Arrows x60 There are two ways to enter the Fortress of the Stonemen. The first is to go to the far west and enter the waterfall. Grab the [Life Vial x3] and then go to the east room. Break open the {false wall} and go through with your Archer to grab the [Life Vial, Adventurer's Explosive Powder x10] in the chest. You can go up the ladder if you want, but I don't recommend it. I only recommend going into the waterfall to get the chests, because going up the ladder will bring certain doom. Exit back out and follow the mountain line to the river. Have your Magician shoot the Zombie behind the Ballista, then have your Archer and Magician attack the Glores from a distance. Use the Stone Key and enter. -Fortress of the Stonemen- Drops: Golden Key If you need to heal, take the warp to the east side to the Fountain of Youth. Passing through the gas vents will hurt, but there is a way around it. Have your Archer go through the crack in the west side wall. Grab the [Life Vial x3] in the chest and enter the crack in the east side wall near the chest. Stand on the button and call your other 3 characters out. Equip your best weapons and continue forward. There are 3 Captains of the Guard (each with 500 HP) ready to ambush you. Stand your ground and nail them with your ranged weapons. Grab the dropped Golden Key. Talk to the Stoneman if you want, but open the chest to the south of the Golden Door to get [Life Vial x2], then west from that one for a chest with [Life Vial, Warrior's Throwing Axe x20]. Use the Golden Key to unlock the Golden Door. In the middle of this hallway is the opened {Blue Chest} (you did open it, right?) with [Life Vial x2, Travel Speed Potion x2, Rapid Attack Potion, Power Potion x3]. Have your Warrior test his strength, your Magician read the incantation, Mac Bride work the machine, and your Archer go inside the crack and push the block onto the button. Make your way back to the main hallway and to the newly opened door. Go into the room and kill the monsters that appear. Grab the Archer's Vision Prism. Before heading into the warp, head back to the Fountain of Youth to fully heal, as it will be a long time since you can use this feature again. When you are ready and have everything, head to the warp and enter Level 2. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- b. Level 2 - Northern Pass ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6 Secrets, 43 Chests -Southern Cliffs- Drop: Archer's Arrows x80, Adventurer's Explosive Powder x20, Magician's Protection Spell x5 From the start, go north a bit. Kill the monsters and enter the Southern Dungeon. -Southern Dungeon F1- Quickly dispatch of the Phantom Generator and any remaining monsters. Have the Warrior test his strength on the north side and the Magician read the incantation to open the door. Go up to the 2nd floor. -Southern Dungeon F2- You're gonna have to move quickly to avoid the fire traps. The different colored floor tiles activate the trap. Quickly move to the west side out of the way of fire. Have someone push the block onto the tile to stop the trap. There are two chests in this room, one with [Life Vial x2] and one with [Life Vial, Adventurer's Healing Potion x5]. Exit out of the dungeon and back to the cliffs. -Southern Cliffs- Head west all the way to the end then north. Enter the waterfall. Kill anything in your path and open the 3 chests with [Life Vial x2], [Life Vial, Gold Coins], and [Life Vial, Archer's Arrows x50]. To the south of the last chest is a {weak wall}. Destroy it and enter to get [Life Vial, Adventurer's Explosive Powder x10]. Head back out the south exit. Go back east to the road and follow north. When the road splits off east and west, head east to the mountain where there is a cave with a chest with a [Life Vial, Magician's Protective Cape]. Exit back out and follow the road north to the Central Cliffs. -Central Cliffs- Drops: Archer's Arrows x185, Archer's Shurikens, Warrior's Mace Adventurer's Healing Potion x10, Adventurer's Explosive Powder x40 As soon as you can, take the east road. Get ready for an ambush as many Glores and a Captain of the Guard shows up to attack. Make sure you pick up the Archer's Shurikens (though they are very weak, if you run out of arrows this is your weapon of choice). Anyways, after clearing the area, take the cave to the west of the Watchtower where there is [Life Vial x3]. Exit back out and enter the Watchtower. -Watchtower F1- Have Mac use the Machine and then press the button in the northwest corner of the room. Send your Warrior east and then north. Kill the monsters and press the button to disarm the traps then grab the [Life Vial x2, Warrior's Throwing Axes x10] from the chest. Go back to the central room and take the west path. Kill the monsters and grab the [Life Vial x2] from the chest. Have your Magician read the incantation near the door and go down the stairs. -Watchtower B1- Be very quick about this and head to the northern area and destroy the Phantom Generator else you will suffer a LOT. Near the Phantom Generator is a chest with [Life Vial x2, Adventurer's Healing Potion x5, Iron Key]. Have the Warrior test his strength on the panel to the west side of the chest. Send your Archer through the {narrow passage} on the west side of the floor. Open the chest with [Life Vial, Archer's Arrows x50] to the northern side. Jump west across the water to the ledge and shoot the trigger across the water from it to activate a magic bridge along the southern wall. Shoot the next target to activate another bridge to a chest with [Life Vial x2]. Go back to the first platfrom you jumped across to see the new bridge, then jump across and make your way to the chest with [Life Vial x2]. From there jump across to the southwest corner of the room and press the button. Exit out and take the party back to the first floor. -Watchtower F1- Press the button on the southeast corner of this room and then make your way to the eastern room where you opened the first chest. The stairs are now open for you to use. -Watchtower F2- Drops: Warrior's Throwing Axe x20 From the start you'll be ambushed by Zombies. Open the Iron Door with the Iron Key and get ready to fight 2 Captain of the Guards. Kill them and open the chest with [Life Vial x2, Magician's Rain of Fire Curse]. Take the portal to the first floor and exit. -Central Cliffs- Make your way back west. Head west as far as you can off the road to the dried-up fountain. Go north from there and push the stone out of the way and enter the cave. In the southeast corner is a button to make a magic bridge appear across the water. Using your Archer, quickly cross the bridge and open the chests with [Life Vial], [Life Vial, Gold Coins], [Life Vial, Jar of Medicinal Herbs]. Make your way back out. Go north to the next cave with a [Life Vial x2]. Exit back out and head east. You'll be facing a horde of monsters here so be prepared. Grab the Warrior's Mace that is dropped here. As soon as the area is cleared, enter the Mooted Dungeon. -Mooted Dungeon F1- Drops: Archer's Arrows x50, Archer's Leather Vest, Iron Key Have Mac and the Warrior use the Mechanism and the Strength Tester. Have your Magician go west to get a [Life Vial x2]. Don't have the Magician read the incantation yet, as it will open the door with the Phantoms near it. Head to the northern room and press the button to shut off the traps. Go back south and then east. Have the Archer enter the {Narrow Pass}. Press the button and the door to the east will open. Follow it to the Phantom Generator and kill it for an Archer's Leather Vest. Have Mac operate the Mechanism to open a door. Go back to the north room and send your fastest walker east through the newly opened door. Avoid the gas traps and press the 3 buttons. Now head back to the western room. Now have the Magician read the Incantation to open the door. Run to the Phantom Generator and destroy it to get an Iron Key. Read the Incantation to open the door to the west, then have your Warrior go into that room and push the test of strength button. Send someone east to press the buttons and have your party go back to the northern room. Unlock the Iron Door with the Iron Key and go down the stairs. -Mooted Dungeon B1- Drops: Coin Test your strength to open the western room door. Send Mac and your Magician to that room to operate the Mechanism and Incantation. Open the chest with a [Archer's Crossbow x30] and give it to the Archer. Go to the newly opened northwest door and talk to the prisoner who talks a bit about the village of Troon. Talk to the guy in the next cell and he will give you a Coin to the dried-up fountain.

Make your way back to the road and go north. About half way to the maze at the north side of the map, turn to face the east side and enter the waterfall. Grab the [Life Vial x2, Gold Coins], then exit. Go north to the maze and push the block to enter it. Grab the [Life Vial x2, Adventurer's Explosive Powder] and make your way through it to the west side. Go west and grab the Adventurer's Healing Potion. However, since you took it, the gate has closed, locking you in. To solve this, place a Life Vial on the block to push it back down. Go back through the ruined tower and then follow the road west. At the fork in the road going west-east, push the block and enter the cave for [Life Vial x2, Adventurer's Explosive Powder x10].

Step away and have your Archer shoot the target to open the doors, then go in and kill the Phantom Generator. Grab the [Life Vial x2] from the chest. From this room, walk east until you come across a Phantom Generator. To the east of this spot is a {narrow passage}. Go in and grab the [Life Vial x2, Archer's Arrows x50].

Have Mac use it and kill the monsters that appear. Make your way west and then north east to the newly opened room with a Phantom Generator. You can't touch it until you open the chest with [Life Vial x2, Adventurer's Blade], so open it and then kill the Generator. Take the Adventurer's Blade (this is a handy distance weapon to have if you run out of Explosive Powder). Step on the panel on the southeast corner of the room. Make your way back south past the Mechanism and then go east to the next hallway, then north. Kill the Zombie blocking the door to the east and have your Magician read the incantation. Grab the [Life Vial x4] and step on the panel near the door. Send your archer back to the room that had the Adventurer's Blade and you'll notice that the gas has now stopped.

There are two panels on the floor that when stepped on, after a short amount of time will come out. In the west and east rooms are panels that do the same. Leave your Magician and Archer in the main entrance standing near the buttons. Have Mac go east (making sure you watch out for the Zombies that appear. Just kill them with the Powder) and stand near the button, then have your Warrior go west, killing any monsters, and stand near the button. Then quickly, one by one, have each of your characters step on the buttons to open the doors. Have your Archer shoot the target to the west with an arrow to turn off the spike traps, then have Mac use his Blade to shoot the east target. Kill the monsters for another Iron Key and a Warrior's Shock Wave. Unlock the Iron Door and go upstairs. -Northern Dungeon F3- Drops: Stone Key Kill the zombies and from a distance, attack the two red Captain of the Guards (they have 1600 HP, so be careful). Take the Stone Key that drops and open the chest with [Adventurer's Healing Potion x5, Sack of Magic Powder]. Take the nearby warp back to the first floor. -Northern Dungeon F1- Kill off the couple of Glores that will try to ambush you.

If you go west of the entrance along the outside wall you'll run into a lot of Wolves and Werewolves. But there is a crack along side that wall that you can sneak into town with and slowly defeat the Glores on guard. However, before you do that, go west to the Forest of Troon. -Forest of Troon- We're not going to stay here long, just go north and push the block out of the way. Enter the cave and there will be your Fountain of Youth! Come back here when you need to heal (I bet you need to right about now). Also is a chest with [Life Vial x4]. Go outside and back east to the Village of Troon. -Village of Troon- Inside the wall, you may notice some barrels that can be destroyed. Shoot them from a distance to cause an explosion. Anyways, clear the town of any and all monsters outside before going inside any of the buildings (this includes taking out the cannons as well). A couple of things to remember to pick up are the Archer's Darts the Adept Magician's Protection Spell, and the Magician's Vision Spell. After the village is free from the monsters, time to do some exploring. From the entrance to the village, go west and enter the first house on the south side. Go down to the basement and on the south side, have your Warrior push the bookcase aside to let the Archer go into the {narrow pass}. Open the chest with [Life Vial x2, Iron Key]. Come back out and unlock the Iron Door. In the northwest corner of the room is a blue button, so make sure to press it. Take the warp to the Secret Crypt. -Secret Crypt- Drops: Adventurer's Poison x10, Archer's Arrows x20, Archer's Darts x90, Explosive Crossbow Bolts x20, Golden Key, Adventurer's Explosive Powder x10 Have Mac operate the Mechanism and a Zombie will appear. Kill it for some Adventurer's Poison. There is a {secret door} just north of the Mechanism with a warp to the cemetery. Before going taking it, there are 4 panels to step on near 4 doors in the area. Though they won't open the door yet, when the one on the other side of the door is pressed it will open it. Now go through the warp. -Village of Troon- You'll be just outside the cemetery now. Go into the cemetery watchman's house but do not speak to him. On the north wall are two switches. Switch them to open the gate. Take the ladder on the west side upstairs for two chests, one with [Life Vial x2, Iron Key] and the other with [Life Vial x2, Magician's Protection Spell x5]. Go back outside and walk into the cemetery. Walk around and take out all the Zombies. Here you will get the Magician's Healing Spell. Though the spell is weak, it is unlimited so you will at least be able to heal somewhat even if you run out of Life Vials. To the west of the Northwest Crypt is two buttons, and to the north and east of the Northeast Crypt is another two. Push them all and enter the northeast crypt. -Northeastern Crypt- Drops: Archer's Arrows x20, Explosive Crossbow Bolts x10, Adventurer's Explosive Powder x10 Make your way into the northern room, killing any Zombies that come your way. Work the Mechanism and the Strength Button and then check the Death Alter to open the passage to the Secret Crypt again. -Secret Crypt- As soon as you walk out of the corner you're in, you'll fight Zombies. Press the buttons on the east and west sides by the doors then go north. Step on the buttons on the west and east side of this room (the door to the east should open) and press the red button. Go through the portal to the cemetery again and make your way to the southwestern crypt. -Southwestern Crypt- Drops: Adventurer's Explosive Powder x10, Archer's Arrows x30 Go north and fight the Zombies, then west. Shoot the target, operate the Mechanism, and push the Strength Button. Make your way east to the {weak wall} and destroy it. Go east and kill the Zombies. Open the chest with a [Life Vial x2, Warrior's Throwing Axes x10]. Take the portal to the secret crypt again. -Secret Crypt- To the west of where you are is a {secret door} that when you push will open. Push the Blue Button there and head back. Press the button on the eastern side by the door then walk north. Push the buttons to the north and east of the portal leading back out (the door to the east should open). Have your Magician read the incantation. Just south of the Incantation is a {weak wall} that has a Strength button to push. Go back out and take the portal back to Southwestern Crypt where that northern locked door was open. Go in it and take the portal back to the Secret Crypt. Go west and push the button near the door. On your way back is a {secret door} on the north side of the wall near the button. Have Mac operate the Mechanism inside and then walk back east. Press the button near the door there. Now on the north side of the wall is a {secret door} with [Life Vial x2, Adept Warrior's Shield]. Take the portal to the cemetery. This time, take the Northwestern Crypt. -Northwestern Crypt- Drops: Explosive Crossbow Bolts x10, Archer's Arrows x30, Archer's Darts x30 Warrior's Fire Belt x5 Unlock the door with the Iron Key and kill the Zombies inside.

Have your Archer hit the switch on the other side of the water. Cross the formed bridge and stay close to the rocks which will shield you from the fire traps while somebody crosses over to the west and presses the button on the other side of the water. Have your Archer aim for the northwest corner of the room where the button is to form the bridge. Cross over to the door. On the western hallway going north is a {weak wall} behind a barrel. Send on person in to press the red button. Place a Blazing Torch (since you don't need it anymore) on the gray button. This will open the nearby door. On the south side of the southern hallway is a bookcase that can be pushed with a [Life Vial x4] inside. Go north to the door you just opened. Grab the [Life Vial x4, Stone Key] from the final (thankfully) chest in the level. Take the warp that appears. Head southeast a bit to the stone door. Unlock it with your Stone Key and destroy the Phantom Generator. Press the blue boxes to unlock each of the doors in the prison. There are two Knights to talk to in the prison. One of them drops an Iron Key. The Iron door is to the north of the prison. Clear the monsters in the area of the Soul Robbing machine. Don't press the button near the door you entered yet, just make sure to defeat the monsters. When you're ready, move everybody close to the button and then press it. The Soul-robbing machine activates and many Enchanted Templars will attack. Lure them to your side away from the Soul-Robbing machine and blast away with your best weapons. One of the templars drops an Adept Magician's Rain of Fire Curse. Once you have that, the Soul-Robbing Machine is easy to defeat. An Alternate Strategy is to use the Invisibility Spell on your Warrior and just have him run up and use his Mines and just hammer away at the Templars, then return when the spell runs out. Once it is dead, send Mac, your Warrior, and Magician west through the door. Activate the Mechanism, read the Incantation, and press the Strength Block. Send your Archer east to the {narrow pass} with a gray button to press. This will open the door to the stairs going up. Take the nearby warp and then up the stairs you land in front of. -Top Floor- In the south side of the room is the blue chest with Travel Speed Potion x3, Rapid Attack Potion x4, and Power Potion. Talk to the hanging Necromancer in the northern part. He will tell you that Garkham is part of a league of evil sorcerers and they are searching for the Legendary Book of Hexplore, which is inside the city of Pal-Dul-Dan in the Middle East. He explains why the Crusades were formed in the first place. Once done talking to him, go east to the portal to the next level. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- e. Level 5 - Istarun ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11 Secrets, 38 Chests, !Fountain of Youth! -Port of Istarun- Drops: Archer's Arrows x40, Archer's Poisoned Bolas x20, Life Vial x5, Gold Coins x2 Talk to the Fisherman just to the east of where you are. Give him some Gold Coins and he will tell you how to get into the Caliph's palace where Garkham is. He gives you some Serpent Grass to give to Khanzi in the small marketplace who can help more. If you need some Gold Coins, destroy the box to the east of the fisherman on the far side and you will get some. Don't bother talking to the women in this town, as they do not understand English. If you head north from where you started you'll be in the small marketplace. To the east of the pool is a camel, who when you talk to gives you a life bonus of 10 HP (use it as many times as you want to restore your HP to full... though it could take a while). Give Khanzi the Serpent Grass and he will tell you to meet with Khan Shanki, the town strong man. He says to go see an old man named Drys west the big marketplace. Enter the Tavern to the west of Khanzi. Go to the basement and grab the [Life Vial x4] from the chest on the north side, then exit the tavern. Wander around town and destroy whatever Brigads you can. Take the northwest exit to the Market. -Grand Market- Drops: Adept Adventurer's Exploding Powder x10, Life Vial x3, Gold Coins x2, Archer's Arrows x40 Western Soldiers are all over the town. There are more boxes here that can be destroyed for Life Vials and Gold Coins, one is to the very west of the map, one is in the northwest corner by a Passer-By, and one is near the center of town north of a house (standing in broad daylight). Inside the house near this box is a chest containing [Life Vial]. Also here is a man who will sell you a Life Vial for some Gold Coins. The house at the south end of town has a merchant selling 10 Explosive Crossbow Bolts for some Gold Coins. The house also has [Life Vial x4] and right to the south of the chest is a ladder which leads to a Fountain of Youth!!! I would definitely place a Marker near this house so that you remember where it is. Head to the Northwest of the Grand Market and talk to the man named Drys. Give him a purse of Gold Coins to get a Competitor�s Bracelet. Head back to the port of Istarun. -Port of Istarun- Go to the Tavern and give the Competitor�s Bracelet to the Clerk. He will open the door to the first arena. Go to the basement and then enter the western door. -Qualifying Arena- Drops: Adept Adventurer's Explosive Powder x20, Warrior's Fire Belt x5, Explosive Crossbow Bolts x20 The monsters here take a bit more to kill than the guards on the outside, so be careful. In the very southwest corner of this map is a Blue Button, so make sure to step on it. To the north of the button is a chest with [Life Vial x4, Warrior's Mines x10]. From this chest, head northeast. Destroy what monsters are there and ignore the chest for now. Have everyone back away to the far northwest corner and have your Magician and Warrior go near the chest. Use Invisibility on both and open the chest. Destroy the Krilons that appear quickly and grab the Necklace and Adept Adventurer's Healing Potion x5. Now head east to the next chest, containing [Life Vial x4, Explosive Crossbow Bolts x10, Adept Warrior's Throwing Axes x20]. Finish exploring then head back to the Clerk. Give the Necklace to the Clerk and he will open the eastern door in the basement. If you need to heal at the Fountain, do so now. When you are ready, take the eastern door in the basement. -Arena of Champions- Drops: Archer's Arrows x60, Adept Adventurer's Explosive Powder x20, Explosive Crossbow Bolts x20, Warrior's Fire Belt x10 Start off the same as last time by heading west. Watch out for the Golems as their fire can really hurt your party. Circling around the parameter, you will first see a chest with [Life Vial x3], then to the north of this is another [Life Vial x3]. To the east of this chest is a {weak wall} with a [Life Vial x3] inside. There is also another {weak wall} near the northwest corner with [Life Vial x4] and a Blue Button in the corner. Continue to circle the arena, but don't open the northern-most chest yet. About halfway down on the east side of the arena, check out the {weak wall} on the west side of the hallway to get [Life Vial x4, Adept Adventurer's Mines x10]. Check out the very center of the map to get [Adept Archer's Crossbow], which has twice as much power as the original. To the south of this chest a ways you should see a {weak wall} with [Life Vial x3] inside. When you are ready, get everybody near the northern chest. Open it and 4 Golem will appear to both sides. Use the Rain of Fire Curse and the new Crossbow to rid of them quickly. Grab the [Adept Magician's Invisibility x5, Adept Adventurer's Healing Potion x5, Chalice] from the chest. Take the portal back to the port. -Port of Istarun- Head south of the Tavern and give the Chalice to the Ill-Tempered Keeper. He will let you in. In the northeast room is [Life Vial, Archer's Arrows x20]. Take the door to the west to the garden to speak with Khan Shanki. He gives you a Stone Key and asks that you bring him the Drink of the Dead from Erlik's house which is located in the Grand Market in the Northeast Corner. Use the Stone Key to open the door. -Erlik's House- Drops: Archer's Arrows x20, Warrior's Mines x10 Nothing big here as far as monsters go. There is a chest in the northwest side with [Warrior's Mines x10, Life Vial x3, Adept Adventurer's Healing Potion x5]. Just kill everything in there until you get the Potion of the Dead. Head back to Khan Shanki. -Port of Istarun- Give Khan Shanki the Potion of the Dead and he will ask you now to get the Genie's Lamp from Erlik's Headquarters. Leave the house and take the northeast exit to the Gardens of Istarun. -Grand Gardens of Istarun- Drops: Archer's Darts x30, Archer's Arrows x100, Life Vial x4, Gold Coins x2, Archer's Poison Bolas x10 There are a few boxes here as well, one near the west side, one in the northwest side, one in the northeast side, and one near Khan Shanki's guard on the east side. Enter the house to the northeast. Kill the monsters there and grab [Life Vial x4] and [Life Vial, Archer's Arrows x20, Explosive Crossbow Bolts x10]. To the west of this house are two towers. First enter the western tower. Kill the Western Soldiers here and go upstairs to a chest with [Adept Adventurer's Breastplate, Archer's Arrows x30, Life Vial x4]. Now head to the east tower. Do the same thing here and on the 2nd floor is [Life Vial x4, Adept Archer's Shurikens]. Exit the tower. Head to the southeast of town and talk to the guard there that is aligned with Khan Shanki. Enter the building. -Erlik's Headquarters- Drops: Archer's Arrows x20, Warrior's Shockwave x10 A swarm of Brigands will attack you right off, so make sure you hold them off with some Rain of Fire Curse. In the northeast corner is [Life Vial x4, Adventurer's Poison x10]. Kill everything and take the eastern door to the garden. Kill anything there then when the coast is clear, open the chest. Erlik will appear, but don't fear, as a few swift attacks will kill him easily. The chest contains [Life Vial* x4, Adept Adventurer's Healing Potion x10]. Erlik also drops the Genie's Lamp. Head back to Khan Shanki. -Port of Istarun- Give Khan the Genie's Lamp and he will give you Ahmed's Paper, which he asks you to take to Ahmed, who is in the smoking parlor in the Grand Market. -Grand Market- Enter the smoking hut and pay the Clerk some Gold Coins. Enter the room nearby and give Ahmed his papers. He will give you an Iron Key in exchange. Heal at the Fountain of Youth if you need to, then go to the Iron Gate at the south end of town. Open it with the Iron Key. -Storehouses- Drops: Explosive Crossbow Bolts x10, Adept Archer's Darts x60, Life Vial x11 Adept Adventurer's Blade, Adept Warrior's Throwing Axes x10 Archer's Arrows x80, Adept Adventurer's Healing Potion x5, Adept Adventurer's Explosive Powder x20, Adept Sorcerer's Cape, Adept Adventurer's Poison x10 You'll come across some Brigands right off the bat. However, you should be able to get some upgraded darts and a Blade as well. There are also quite a few boxes here that contain life vials. The Brigands won't give you much trouble so make sure you take your time and collect everything, including the Sorcerer's Cape. When you are ready, head to the southwest corner. Rain of Fire Curse works well against the mob here, and when all is said and done, enter the sewers. -Sewers of Istarun- Drops: Adept Warrior's Shockwave x10, Archer's Arrows x80, Warrior's Mines x10, Adept Archer's Poisoned Bolas x10, Adept Warrior's Throwing Axes x10, Make sure you step on the Blue Button in the east corner upon entering. Head west and keep an eye out for the {Weak Wall} to the south. Send your Archer in there, avoiding the gas traps and hit the switch. Don't go any further yet. Head back to the party and head west some more, making sure to grab the Adept Warrior's Shockwave on the way. At the end of the path you should see another {weak wall} to the south, but it was already open when you opened the first one, so enter it. Have Mac operate the Mechanism to open a door. Go back to the hallway and take the {narrow pass} with the Archer. Equip the Crossbow and let loose on the Golems quickly. Make sure to grab the Adept's Poisoned Bolas (which is 4 times more powerful than the original). Grab the chest with [Life Vial* x4, Adept Adventurer's Healing Potion x5]. Step on the Gray Stone in the southeast corner before heading back. Now head back to the party and go back south through the weak wall that you had opened earlier. Kill the Golems and operate the Mechanism to make a bridge appear to the north. Now have one member stand on the Red Button to the southeast of the room to deactivate the spike walls. Have your Magician read the Incantation on the newly formed bridge, then have your Warrior go across the new bridge to use the Strength Panel. This will open the door that the spiked walls in the southern area were near. Before going to the door, use a Marker on this area to keep this in mind. Go to the door and kill the Golem. Equip your best equipment and go through the portal. Prepare for a Golem Ambush as you quickly dispose of them. Push the gray button in the corner and have your Warrior use his Strength on the button to the south of the door. Go through the door and enter the room to the north to grab [Life Vial* x4]. Read the Incantation and continue west until you see a door that is locked by electricity. By this door is a {narrow pass}, so equip the Crossbow and send your Archer in there. However, don't head too far west yet (you will see the marks on the floor). Send your Warrior over to where I told you to mark before. Stand next to the Red Button in the area. Now back to your Archer, step on the discolored floor to activate the saw traps. Back to the Warrior, step on the Red Button to deactivate those traps. Continue west to the narrow pass, but pick off the Golems with the Crossbow before going any further. Open the chest with [Life Vial* x4, Adept Adventurer's Healing Potion x5]. Step on the gray button to open the door... however, it's not the door you need to open. Go east and pick off the Golems again with the Crossbow. Wait patiently there. Take the rest of your party and go to the center hallway. Just north of the eastern-most weak wall that you opened is the newly opened door. Kill the Golem and enter the portal to be reunited with the Archer. Have your Warrior press the strength button in this room and the room to the west to open the door. Enter this door that leads to the Cellars of the Palace. -Cellars of the Caliph's Palace- Drops: Explosive Crossbow Bolts x10, Iron Key The enemies shouldn't give you too much trouble here as they mostly attack head on. Go north to grab the [Life Vial* x4, Adept Magician's Protection Spell x5]. Head south to the center room and press the gray button in the southeast corner. Go to the room south of there to get the Iron Key from the Saracens. Enter the western room and use the Iron Key on the door. Go up the stairs. -First Floor of the Caliph's Palace- Drops: Adept Archer's Darts x30, Adept Adventurer's Explosive Powder x20, Archer's Arrows x80, Explosive Crossbow Bolts x10 Head north and make your way to the south-eastern room. In the northeastern corner of the room is the last blue button, so make sure you hit it. Now head north to the eastern room. Aside from the monsters, there are two chests, containing [Life Vial* x4, Stone Key] and [Life Vial* x4]. Next head to the northeast corner for [Life Vial* x4]. Make your way west to the Northwest corner where there is an Incantation and a {weak wall} on the eastern wall of the room. Inside is [Life Vial* x4]. Now go southeast to the center room with a chest containing [Life Vial* x4, Stone Key]. South of the center room is two more rooms. The Western-most room contains the Blue Chest with the Power Potion x3, Rapid Attack Potion x4, and a Travel Speed Potion. The Eastern room contains a {weak wall} on the east side. Inside is [Adept Adventurer's Mines x20, Life Vial* x4]. Go to the far southwest corner and use a Stone Key. Grab the [Adept Warrior's Throwing Axes x20, Life Vial* x4] from the chest, then have the Warrior use his strength on the button nearby. Head back to the far north. The door should be open to a room containing a Mechanism, so make sure to hit it. This will open the door to the 2nd floor. Take the stairs near the northwest corner. -Second Floor of the Caliph's Palace- Drops: Archer's Poisoned Bolas x10, Iron Key, Adept Magician's Healing Spell, Golden Key x2, Stone Key, Adept Adventurer's Healing Potion x10 Circle the floor until you've picked up all of the keys. Unlock the Iron Door to get [Life Vial* x4], and unlocking the Stone Door to the east will result in [Adept Adventurer's Mines x20, Life Vial* x4]. Unlock the Gold Door to the south. Lay waste to the Caliphs of Istarun to obtain another Golden Key and some Healing Potions. Unlock the next Gold Door and talk to the Western King, who tells you to visit the Military Base. A warp appears nearby, so take it. -Grand Gardens of Istarun- If you need to heal, do so now at the Grand Market. The entrance to the Military Barracks is at the southern part of town. -Military Barracks- Drops: Life Vial* x19, Archer's Arrows x80, Adept Warrior's Shockwave x10, Adventurer's Poison x10, Adept Archers Bolas x10, Adept Adventurer's Explosive Powder x10, Explosive Crossbow Bolts x10, There are plenty of life vials in the exploding jars, so make sure you grab them all. Just explore the area watching out for the captains while making your way to the southeastern corner where there is a house. Inside the house is [Adept Warrior's Breastplate, Life Vial* x2]. Exit the house and head to the large building in the center, which is the Western King's Headquarters. -Western King's Headquarters- Drops: Archer's Arrows x60, Adept Adventurer's Explosive Powder x10, Golden Key, Adept Adventurer's Healing Potion x5, Explosive Crossbow Bolts x10 Head North from the entrance and kill the Western Captain. Have your archer enter the {narrow pass} and press the gray button in the corner. Rejoin the party and head south past the newly opened door. Once at the end, head east and have your warrior press the strength button about half way down the hall. Head back north to where the narrow pass was and head east. Enter the newly opened door. Read the Incantation on the eastern wall, then head back to the southern hallway. Walk through the new door and grab the [Life Vial* x4, Adept Warrior's Throwing Axes x20]. Activate the Mechanism to open the central room, complete with Enchanted Templars ready to strike. However, you have to go back to the northern hallways to enter the room. I find that the easiest way to win is to use the Invisibility on the Archer and let it go with the Poisoned Bolas, this will stun the templars and allow you to easily kill them while remaining unharmed with the spell. Grab the Golden Key and unlock the door. Finish off the remaining Captains. Grab the remaining two chests, [Life Vial* x2] and [Life Vial* x2]. Before stepping into the warp to the next level, make sure that you've gone to the Fountain of Youth and healed up. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- f. Level 6 - The Battlefront ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20 Secrets, 28 Chests -Military Camp of the Western Soldiers- Drops: Adept Magician's Vision Spell, Expert Adventurer's Explosive Powder x20, Adept Archer's Bolas x10, Archer's Arrows x40, Warrior's Shockwave x10, Adept Adventurer's Poison x10, Adept Warrior's Throwing Axes x20 Just a quick note before starting. You may see some catapults in this level. You can use them to fire a quick shot at the enemy, but they only work once, to if you're planning a strike, make sure you're ready to use it. The first thing you'll want to do is to clear the map so that you can see everything. There are a few new items here that are dropped, including the much more powerful explosive powder. Once you've cleared everything, you'll see a camp in the northwestern part of the map. Enter the Barracks. Kill whatever monsters are in there and read the General's Journal. He mentions a temple and four stones of power. Either way, exit the Barracks and head for the northeast side by the stripe of water. Enter the cave and grab the [Life Vial* x3] from within. Southeast of this cave alongside the cliffs is a {weak wall}. Defeat the Golems that are inside and go north. Operate the Mechanism and then send your archer south. While trying to avoid the fireballs shot at you, move the 3 stone onto the 3 red buttons. Now move north to the pond. Shoot the two switches and then jump into the whirlpool to find a Blue Button to hit. Come back out and rejoin the party. Go across the newly formed bridge. Kill the enemies on that side and grab the chest with [Life Vial* x4, Stone of Power]. Right next to this chest is a {weak wall}. Enter it and kill the Golems to obtain [Stone of Power, Adept Adventurer's Healing Potion x10]. Head out of the secret passage and head north to a warp that takes you to an area with another Blue Button. Exit this cave. Head to the southern part of the map. Look along the western sides of the cliffs until you see a {weak wall}. Enter this cave and collect the [Life Vial* x3, Stone of Power] from the chest. Exit the cave. Head northwest along the western side of the cliffs until you see another {weak wall}. Enter this cave and head south to a chest with [Life Vial* x2]. Press the Gray Button near this chest and head north to the water. Don't cross the bridge just yet though. Have your Magician cast Invisibility on your Archer and have your Archer equipped with the crossbow. Cross the bridge and kill the Golems on the other side. Press the red button and grab the [Life Vial* x4, Stone of Power] from the chest. Exit the cave. Head back towards the Barracks but stop when you see a small cliff-like structure towards the center of the map. Search the cliffs for a {weak wall}, then enter the cave. Go east towards the whirlpool, then send in (as usual) the Archer into the whirlpool. This will take you to another part of this cave. Jump into the next whirlpool to enter a room with another Blue Button. After you hit it, come back out and press the {weak wall} to open it. Pick off the Golems with the Crossbow, then grab the [Life Vial* x4, Expert Magician's Invisibility] from the chest. To the south is yet another {weak wall} with a chest containing [Adept Adventurer's Magic Saber, Adept Adventurer's Healing Potion x10]. Exit the cave. After leaving the cave, head east to the Battlefront. -Battlefront- Drops: Archer's Arrows x60, Adept Archer's Darts x30, Adept Warrior's Fire Belt x5, Adept Warrior's Shockwave x10, Expert Adventurer's Katana, Expert Adventurer's Explosive Powder x10, Adept Warrior's Mines x10, Here you will see plenty of small armies of western soldiers ready for battle, so be prepared for them. The best way to handle them is that when you see them, select Mac alone and throw some Mines and have them stick. Then lure them over to you by shooting an arrow at them. Watch the mines destroy them without taking a single bit of damage. Along the way you will find the Adept Warrior's Fire Belt, which is twice as strong as the original. Once you've cleared out the west side of the battlefield (since the east side is uncrossable due to the river), head to the north side to the cliffs and break the {weak wall} to enter. On the south side of this cave is another {weak wall}. Cast Invisibility on the Archer and have the Archer go in and step on the gray stone, then shoot the target to disable the traps. Go across the bridge and pick up the [Adept Warrior's Throwing Axes x20, Stone of Power] from the chest. Exit the cave. Make your way to the southern side of the map near the river on the east side. Look for the {weak wall} in the cliffs. Grab the {Life Vial* x4] from the chest. And jump into the Whirlpool on the south side. Press the last Blue Button to unlock the blue chest in the center of the room. Grab the Rapid Attack Potion, Travel Speed Potion x4, and Power Potion x3 then head back out of the caves and to the battlefront. Head to the center cliffs of the map and enter the cave already opened. -Temple Buried in the Desert- Drops: Adept Warrior's Mines x10, Adept Adventurer's Poison x10, Adept Adventurer's Mines x10 Quickly dispose of the Golems and grab the Adept Warrior's Mines here. Read the Menhir then place 4 of the power stones on the altars. This will open the path going east. Follow the path and have Mac operate the Mechanism. This will open the other door in the room with the Stones of Power. Before going back, along the east side is a {weak wall} with a chest containing [Adept Adventurer's Healing Potion x5]. Now head back to the door you just opened. Kill the Golem and have your Warrior push the Strength Button, which will open the door near the weak wall you just broke open. Kill the Golem from the outside then send whoever has the last Stone of Power inside to the alter and place it there to stop the fireballs. Operate the Mechanism inside, which will open the door in the room where you just pushed the Strength button. Cast Invisibility on the Magician and have the Magician go in alone with the Wand equipped. Kill the Golem quickly and read the Incantation in the hallway while avoiding the traps (though the Invisibility should help with that). This will open the door near the Mechanism that you pushed last time. Go back there. Send Mac into the room and kill the Golem, then operate the Mechanism, which opens the door near the incantation (notice an annoying pattern here?). Go back there and send your Warrior into that room. Push the Strength Button to open the door near the last Mechanism. Press the Red button then head down the hallway to the east. Kill the Golem and push that red button to disable some traps. Meet with the party and go back to the door you just opened. Operate the Mechanism here to open another door, but before going back to that one (which is near the last red button you pushed), go into the next room and break down the {weak wall} that you just opened. Push the gray button inside and open the chest for [Life Vial* x2, Stone of Power]. The button opens the door near where you are which will reveal a small pool. Go to that one. You'll notice that you cannot cross the pool, but if you jump corners (click on one of the sides to have them jump to that, then jump over to the other side) you can cross easily. Inside this room is another Mechanism (which opens the door to the west side of the room) and a {narrow pass} with a gray button (which opens the door to the north side of the room) and a chest with [Adept Adventurer's Healing Potion x5]. Go back to the group and go through the western door. Read the two Incantations here to open the remaining doors. Grab the [Life Vial* x4] from the chest, then exit the temple through the northern door. -Battlefront- Just like on the other side, clear the area first (and make sure you get that Expert Adventurer's Katana). Once cleared, enter the cave at the north end of the map. Inside is a chest with [Life Vial* x3]. Exit the cave and head south to the small pond. Near the pond in the cliffs is a {weak wall}, so press it and enter the cave. Dispose of the Golems and push the gray button to open the chest with [Stone of Power, Life Vial* x4]. Exit the cave. Head south from here and you should see a cave along the western side of the cliffs. Enter the caves. There are plenty of monsters here and plenty of traps, so it's probably best to send in your warrior or something alone to handle this. Head to the northwest side and press the two targets. Open the two chests with [Life Vial* x4] and [Life Vial* x4]. Exit the cave and head back north to where the temple was. On the side of this cliff is a {weak wall} which allows you to enter the cave. Open the chest inside for [Life Vial* x3]. Exit the cave and head west to the Camp of the Saracens. -Desert of the Saracens- Drops: Expert Magician's Wand, Archer's Arrows x40, Expert Archer's Crossbow, Adept Adventurer's Poison x10, Expert Adventurer's Explosive Powder x10, Adept Archer's Bolas x10, Just like the last few times, clear the map of the enemies and grab everything that you can, including the Expert Magician's Wand and Expert Archer's Crossbow (a bit more powerful than the adept's, but still enough to take out anything in a shot or two). Once you cleared out everything, go back to the ruins that you found when you entered the map. Push the big stone aside and enter the hole. -Temple Buried in the Desert- Drops: Stone Key, Iron Key Read the Menhir to find that a Stone of Power can stop traps. Ok, we've figured that out once already. Head south and take the eastern path. Have whoever has your Stone of Power fly solo for a moment to push the red button, then jump across the pool to another red button, disarming the traps. Place the Stone of Power on the Alter. Head to the south side to the Iron Door and open it with the Iron Key you got. Clear the room of the monsters and use the Stone Key on the southeast door. Open the chest for [Stone of Power, Life Vial* x2, Adept Warrior's Throwing Axes x20]. Head back outside, but take the western path this time. On your way up and before going outside you'll notice a {weak wall} on the eastern side of the western hallway. Enter it and kill the monsters to get a chest with [Stone of Power, Adept Adventurer's Healing Potion x5]. Exit the temple. -Desert of the Saracens- Head to the southeast corner of the map. You'll see a cave here. Enter it. -Temple Buried in the Desert- Drops: Expert Warrior's Breastplate, Golden Key, Explosive Crossbow Bolts x10, Expert Adventurer's Explosive Powder x10, Expert Archer's Bow Adept Warrior's Shockwave x10, Adept Archer's Darts x30, Iron Key, Adept Adventurer's Healing Potion x5 The Menhir says the same as the last one, which we already know about. Head east, killing anything that you come across, making sure to grab both the Expert Warrior's Breastplate and the Golden Key. In the room to the east, step on the red button to stop the gas traps. Go into the hallway with the traps you just turned off and press that red button. At the Resurrection plate, head east with one of the characters and quickly press the red button to stop the stone traps. Turn around and head west, then take the northwest hallway. Watch out for these stone traps as you make your way down. About halfway down the hallway on the south side is a {weak wall} with a chest containing [Life Vial* x4]. Press the red button to stop these stone traps. Now take the portal here to the north side of the temple. You can go either east or south, but east is blocked off, so go south. On the west side a little bit down you'll see a {weak wall} with [Life Vial* x3] inside. Continue south to the Gold Door. To the east is another Gold Door, but since they both lead to the same place, it doesn't matter which one you take. Whichever one you take, make your way to the western gold door on the other side. Press the Gray Button and open the chest for [Life Vial* x3]. Go directly south of here for a chest with [Life Vial* x4]. From here, go east and enter the first northern room you come to that has an alter where you can put the Stone of Power. Continue east and then north to the eastern gold door. Kill anything there to get the Expert Archer's Bow. Head east from here and then take the first path north. Use the Stone of Power on the alter here. Before heading east to the large room, you really only have to send in one at a time. Send the person with the Stone of Power into the room. Head south then east a bit until you see a small room with an alter for a Stone of Power. Place it there and step on the gray stone behind it to open some doors. Go back to the team and head towards the eastern gold door on the north side. Take the warp back to the south side of the temple. Head east to the newly opened room with the alter for a Stone of Power. Keep everybody towards the west side to avoid the traps. Have your magician press the gray button and then head into the large room alone. Have her cross the bridge you just created and read the Incantation. Grab the chest with [Life Vial* x2, Expert Magician's Invisibility x5]. Head back to the party. Send your warrior along the southern side and cross the bridge. Head into the room at the end and use the Strength Button. Open the chest with 4 Life Vials* and 20 Adept Warrior's Throwing Axes (this one mysteriously isn't one of the 28 in this level). Join up with the party and take the warp back to the north side of the map. Head back to the room where you last placed the Stone of Power before entering the large eastern room. Keep everybody safe here while you send Mac into the large room. Cross the bridges to the east to find a Mechanism and a chest with [Life Vial* x4]. Head back to the party and then send the Archer into the room. Have the archer head to the northern side crossing the new bridge. Step through the {narrow pass} and then through another {narrow pass}. Step on the gray button to open the door to the north, then open the last chest, containing [Life Vial* x4]. Meet back up with the party and then have the party go back towards the portal to the south end, but this time head towards the door you just opened. Equip your Archer with the Poisoned Bolas, your Warrior with his Mines, and your Magician with her Rain of Fire Curse. Heal up and then charge into battle with a 12000 HP Pharaoh! The Bolas will stall him while the curse and the mines will destroy him quickly, leaving you with an Iron Key and some Healing Potions. Use the Iron Door quickly and enter the room to the portal to the next level. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- g. Level 7 - Middle East Deserts ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 35 Secrets, 59 Chests, !Fountain of Youth! -Bedouin Camp- There is more fighting than anything in this map, not much for drops other than experience. Head to the east side to the camp and talk with the Nomads. Also around here are some Camels who love to give 10 HP when you kiss them. Just south of the camp is a cliff with a {weak wall}. Inside, shoot the 2nd most southern one to form a bridge. Walk over there to another {weak wall}. Kill the newly powered Golems quickly (3000 hp a piece) and open the chest with [Stone of Power x2, Life Vial* x4]. Exit the cave and head east. -North of the Desert- Drops: Archer's Arrows x60, Expert Adventurer's Explosive Powder x20, Explosive Crossbow Bolts x10, Adept Warrior's Shockwave x10, Expert Warrior's Shield, Adept Archer's Bolas x10, Expert Adventurer's Poison x10, Wander around to clear the map, grabbing everything including the Expert Shield and Poison. In the central cliffs near the Resurrection plate is a cave with, aside from the many Golems, a Fountain of Youth! Also inside are two chests, [Life Vial* x3] and [Life Vial* x3]. Use the Fountain if you need it and head outside (make sure you use a Marker once outside so you remember where it is). Towards the cliffs at the southwestern side is a {weak wall}. Enter the cave. Inside this cave are plenty of Golems, so make sure to strike them down quickly. At the east end, press the gray button to create a bridge, then follow that bridge to another gray button to create a bridge to a chest with [Life Vial* x3]. On your way back, go towards the north end of the cave and destroy the {weak wall} to receive [Life Vial* x3]. Make your way back to the entrance, but before exiting, the southern side has a {weak wall} with a Golem and a [Life Vial* x3]. Exit the cave and take the Northwest path to the Temple. -Old Temple of the Northeast- Drops: Expert Magician's Vision Spell, Explosive Crossbow Bolts x10, Archer's Arrows x20, Expert Adventurer's Healing Potion x20, Adept Adventurer's Mines x10, Expert Adventurer's Poison x10, Adept Warrior's Mines x10, Expert Warrior's Throwing Axes x20 Head east a bit to the cave nestled in the cliffs. Inside is a chest with [Expert Warrior's Throwing Axes x20, Life Vial* x3]. Exit the cave and head southwest until you see the temple. Enter the temple and read the Menhir. It will mention to find the paving stones leading to the quicksand. Kill the Golems and send someone north. Flick the switch on the west side and push the red button on the east side. Send the rest of the party to join. Be very careful around here and take the western path to avoid one of the golems. Kill the Phantom Generator quickly to get the new Vision Spell. On the wall to the west side of this area is a Strength Button, so make sure to push it. Head east and operate the Mechanism. From here go east and destroy the Phantom Generator. South of here is a {weak wall} which leads to the central room of lava. Send your fastest walker in there and hunt for the two gray buttons, one you will find just east of the statue shooting fire at you and the other is south of that near a treasure chest containing [Life Vial* x2, Expert Magician's Invisibility x5]. Head back to the entrance area and this time go south. Head to the southwest corner near the alter for a Stone of Power. To the west of it is a {secret door} with a [Expert Archer's Leather Vest, Life Vial* x2] and a Mechanism for Mac to push. In the same room as the Alter on the north side of the wall is another Strength Button to push. Push it quickly then hurry east to destroy the Phantom Generator, which drops an Expert Adventurer's Healing Potion. After killing it, hide in the little nook to the north by the {weak wall}. After opening it, just stay put and have Mac go back south and then east. Head back to the weak wall you just opened and go north through it with just one character, having the others back away to the sides out of the way of the fireballs. Step on the Blue Button and open the chest with [Life Vial* x4]. Go back to the party and have the Magician cast Invisibility on your lone character (preferably your Archer). Give the user your strongest, yet fastest weapon and head back to that last chest and go east. Crush the Golem and the Phantom Generator and open the chest with [Adept Adventurer's Poison x10, Life Vial* x3]. Place a Stone of Power on the Altar there and then have the party meet up there. Once the area is clear, this is a safe place. Going north from this area leads to a gray button to press. A bit north and west of that is another gray button near a chest with [Archer's Arrows x20, Life Vial*, Expert Adventurer's Blade]. From here, head directly south and have the party join you. Open the {weak wall} and step aside of the door to avoid the fire. Send the Warrior inside and press the Strength Button. From here, just south of the fire statue is a [secret door] that you can open. Equip the Mines and enter, destroying the two Golems with a mine and open the chest for [Adept Warrior's Shockwave x10, Life Vial* x4]. Join the rest of the party. If you haven't already destroyed the Phantom Generator to the east, do so now. Send your Archer over to the east and go through the {narrow pass}. Equip the Crossbow and destroy the Golem. Open the chest for [Stone of Power, Life Vial* x3]. Also make sure to step on the gray button in the corner. Exit and have everybody head north, killing the other Phantom Generator on the east side if you come across it. At the fork, go as far west as you can and then go north, turning east a bit to kill the Phantom Generator. Read the Incantation and head east then south, making sure to open the {weak wall} on the east side of the wall to reveal another Incantation and [Expert Adventurer's Explosive Powder x10, Life Vial* x3]. Head out of that room and then head east as far as you can go to the Phantom Generator. Read the Incantation and start to head back west, but before you do, there is a {secret door} to the south that you should press to enter. Grab the [Expert Adventurer's Explosive Powder x10, Life Vial* x3] from the chest and press the Strength Button. Once you press it, head out of the temple. Once out, head back to the map to the west. -North of the Desert- Use the Fountain of Youth here if you need to heal, then head south to the Middle Desert. -Middle of the Desert- Clear the map and then head towards the center of the desert. On the western cliffs on the eastern side of those cliffs is a {weak wall} and inside the cave is [Life Vial* x3, Adept Warrior's Throwing Axes x20]. Exit the cave and head south to the camp of Garkham's Knights. -Encampment of Garkham's Knights- Drops: Life Vial* x2, Adept Warrior's Fire Belt x10, Archer's Arrows x100, Expert Adventurer's Explosive Powder x20, Expert Archer's Dagger, Expert Adventurer's Breastplate, Expert Adventurer's Healing Potion x5, Adept Archer's Darts x30 Upon entering this map, you'll be attacked by Glores and some Enchanted Templars. Dispose of them quickly as they can still hurt. However, they do leave behind the Expert Magician's Fireballs and Adept Archer's Dagger. Clear the rest of the area out first, though there isn't much left. Heal at the Fountain of Youth if you need to, then head east. -Eastern Quicksands- The first thing you'll want to do is go north and take the portal in the northwest corner back to the Old Temple of the Northeast. Kill the Golem and press the gray button. Leave the temple through the door to the west (long walk, I know). Take the portal outside, then take the portal back to the central oasis. Walk back east to the quicksands. Along the north side of the map should be a bridge leading down to a chest with [Life Vial* x3, Explosive Crossbow Bolts x10]. Further towards the northeast corner should be a bridge that leads to [Life Vial* x3, Archer's Arrows x20]. On the south side should be a bridge leading to a chest with [Life Vial* x4, Adept Warrior's Mines x10]. After getting these three chests, take the bridge on the west side and follow it (you should pass a Resurrection plate along the way) to a temple. Cast Invisibility on your Archer and send him in alone with the Crossbow. -Eastern Temple- Drops: Expert Adventurer's Healing Potions x25, Explosive Crossbow Bolts x20, Expert Sorcerer's Protective Cape Destroy the Golems with the Crossbow. Head back out and get the rest. Keep in mind that this will be painful because of all the fireball traps, so make sure you be very careful. Head east until you see a Phantom Generator and some Golems. Destroy them and give your Archer a Stone of Power. Have her go inside the {narrow pass} and quickly place one in the altar, then grab the [Life Vial* x3, Expert Adventurer's Explosive Powder x10]. Join the party and head south then east, making sure to activate the Mechanism on the way. Destroy the Golems and the Phantom Generator. After killing them, this area becomes a safe place if you used the Stone of Power. Press the gray button nearby and then open the {weak wall} to the east. Destroy the Golems inside and grab the [Life Vial* x4, Archer's Arrows x20]. Rejoin the party and head south to the southeast corner. Along the southern wall is a {secret door} with some Golems and a chest with [Life Vial* x4, Expert Adventurer's Explosive Powder x10]. Press the Strength Button to open another door, then head west. Destroy the Phantom Generator on the way. Enter the room to the south and destroy the Golems. Inside is a {weak wall} and inside that room is a chest with [Life Vial* x4, Archer's Arrows x20]. Back to the last room before you entered the weak wall room, read the Incantation to open the door to the south, filled with Phantoms and another Phantom Generator. East of the Phantom Generator is a {secret door} that leads to some Golems and another {secret door} to the east. Kill the Golem inside and press the gray button in the corner, then grab the [Life Vial* x4] from the chest. Head back to the room that you last killed the Phantom Generator in, then head south to the Altar to Pal-Dul-Dan. Press it to activate it, then destroy the {weak wall} to the south of it. Head inside and follow the hallway. When given the option to go straight or north, go north and follow west to a {secret door} in the northern wall. Kill the Golems and press the Red button inside, then grab the [Life Vial* x2, Expert Warrior's Throwing Axes x20]. Exit and head west, then north to the Phantom Generator. Destroy it then press the Strength Button to open a few doors. Go east through both doors and follow the path given until you reach a chest with [Valve Wheel, Life Vial* x2]. In this same room in the corner is a gray button, so make sure you step on it. South of here is a chest with [Adept Adventurer's Mines x10, Life Vial* x4]. Head back to the Strength Button, then have someone fly solo for a little bit. Since you have completed the loop in this area, have someone go back into the lava room and cross the northwestern bridge to push the Blue Button. To the south of this blue button is a chest with [Life Vial* x2, Adept Archer's Bolas x10]. Head to the northeast now, making sure to cross the bridges and killing the Golems. Open the chest with [Expert Adventurer's Healing Potion x5] and step on the blue button. ------- UPDATE: If you haven't found it in your travels, once everything is cleared, in the far northwestern part of the map is the Expert Sorcerer's Protective Cape. I myself have not found it, but I have seen proof of it. THANKS: to Matias Lung and R. Agsten for showing me the location of this item. ------- Once you have those, exit out of here. -Eastern Quicksands- Head back west to the campsite. Since I'm sure you'll need it, head north to the Fountain of Youth, then back to the camp. You'll want to end up west of the camp to the Western Quicksands. -Western Quicksands- You will first want to go south towards the southeast corner. Around here is a warp to the Old Northeast Temple again. Take it and push the gray button. Open the chest with [Life Vial* x2, Expert Archer's Shurikens]. Make sure to grab the Shurikens, as they are twice as powerful. Step outside the room and take the portal back to the quicksands. From the portal, if you go west you'll see a bridge to the north. Take it and go west across that bridge for [Life Vial* x3, Archer's Arrows x20]. From here, go east all the way then north to the chest with [Life Vial* x4, Expert Adventurer's Explosive Powder x10]. Cross the bridge to the north and head west. Take the 2nd bridge you come to for a chest with [Life Vial* x3, Adept Warrior's Fire Belt x10]. Head back across the bridge and go east to the bridge you just crossed. Go south then take the bridge going west to reach the Temple. -Western Temple- Drops: Expert Warrior's Shield, Expert Adventurer's Poison x10, Expert Adventurer's Healing Potions x15, Expert Magician's Protection Spell x5, Explosive Crossbow Bolts x10, Head east to the gray button and step on it. Head south and break down the {weak wall} on the east side to grab [Life Vial* x3, Archer's Arrows x20]. Exit and head south to the altar for a Power Stone, which you should place one there. Head south and make sure you destroy the Lava Spirits quick (a nice swift kick with a Crossbow bolt should do the trick). Continue south to the Phantom Generator and grab the [Life Vial* x4, Expert Warrior's Throwing Axes x20] from the chest. Push the Strength button and mark this lava room off with a Marker so you'll remember to come back later. Head to the northwest corner of the map and destroy the Phantom Generator and grab the [Life Vial* x3] from the chest. Read the Incantation from the door and have someone walk east for a bit past the fire statue. North of this statue is a {secret door} with a gray button and a chest with [Life Vial* x3] inside. Still slow, head south to the blue button that you couldn't press in the lava room. A bridge is now available, so make sure to press it to open up the blue chest finally. Now to find it. Send someone solo to the east of the entrance, then push the blocks to the north and to the east and there you should find 3 Power Potions, 3 Travel Speed Potions, and a Rapid Attack potion. Push the block to the south of the chest and then send the rest of the party to meet up. There is a {secret wall} to the south with a chest containing [Adept Adventurer's Mines x20, Life Vial* x3]. Head northeast and quickly destroy the Phantom Generator. Go east to the next room and follow the Phantoms to the Phantom Generator. After killing it, send everyone to the room right before the door that you just came from so that they will be safe. Send someone solo to grab the [Expert Adventurer's Explosive Powder x10] from the chest. Rejoin the party and head north. There is a {secret door} to the north with some golems and a chest with [Life Vial*]. Now have your Archer go through the {narrow pass} to the south. You may trigger the gas traps, but the middle red button will stop them. Equip the Crossbow and go through the other narrow pass. Open the {weak wall} and destroy the Golem to get [Life Vial* x3, Stone of Power] from the chest. Wait here. With the remaining group, go back east through the room of fire statues to the crossing. Have your Archer rejoin the fight and head southeast to the Phantom Generator. Activate the Mechanism and continue to head south, turning west. Along the south side of this wall is a {secret door} with a Golem and [Life Vial* x3, Adept Archer's Darts x30]. Continue west and equip your best weapons to take out the many Golems and the Phantom Generator. After defeating them, have your Archer enter the {narrow pass} with the Crossbow and destroy the Golem. Press the gray button in the corner and grab the [Life Vial x3]. From where the Phantom Generator was, go south until you reach the lava, then west to the {secret door} with a gray button and a chest with [Life Vial* x3, Archer's Arrows x20]. The gray button creates a bridge to the south, so cross the lava and activate the Altar inside. Take the portal to be warped near the exit. Exit the temple. -Western Quicksands- Take this time to head back to the Fountain of Youth and use it. Come back here and head south the next map. -Deep in the Desert- Nothing much interesting worth exploring this map for. There is a cave in the middle near the resurrection plate that has [Life Vial* x3]. Exit the cave and go south to the altar. Enter the Altar. -West of the Desert of Pal-Dul-Dan- If you head directly south of where you are, there should be some cliffs to the east with a cave towards the southern end. Inside the cave, send your Archer solo enchanted with Protection and equipped with the Crossbow. Head north and at the fork, go west. Go straight north to the chest with [Life Vial* x4, Stone of Power]. Head back to the party. Repeat the process again and this time head east. At the far north is a gray button to push. Exit the cave. From the cave, head northeast a bit until you see a bridge going east. Take that bridge and go north to reach a chest with [Life Vial* x3, Explosive Crossbow Bolts x10]. After grabbing it, take the northwest entrance to the next area. -Middle of the Desert of Pal-Dul-Dan- Make your way east to the northeast side. There should be some cliffs there, and on the northeast side of the cliffs is a cave. Enter the cave and go north with someone solo. Push the red and gray buttons then open the chest for [Life Vial* x4]. To the south is a {weak wall} and then to the west side of that room is another {weak wall}. Inside is a gray button and a chest with [Life Vial* x3, Expert Warrior's Throwing Axes x20]. Head back to the previous room and head south. If you already opened the weak wall from the north, this {weak wall} should already be opened. Open the chest in this room for [Life Vial* x3]. Exit the cave. A bit to the west of the cliffs is a bridge that leads to [Life Vial* x4, Archer's Arrows x20]. Also, on the south side of the map is a bridge that leads to [Life Vial* x4]. When you are ready, head east to the next map. -Temple of Pal-Dul-Dan- Drops: Golden Key The first thing you want to do is head north then east to the cliffs. Enter the cave on the eastern side. Upon entering the cave go west and press the gray button and grab the [Life Vial* x3]. Head back and then south past the mud. Open the {weak wall} on the west side to grab the chest for [Life Vial* x4]. Exit the cave. Head west from the cliffs through the bridge to grab [Life Vial* x3] from the chest. Head back to the cliffs and head south and then west at the southern-most point to a bridge leading to [Life Vial x4]. Continue west to the bridge with [Life Vial* x3, Expert Adventurer's Explosive Powder x100]. Make your way back west to the entrance to the map. Heal up and head towards the Oasis. Stop before you see the Giant Insects and start to prepare. Use Protection on your Warrior and have him charge with some Mines. Have him set a couple in the middle of them and the whole bunch of them should be blown to bits. Don't worry if your Warrior takes some damage, just heal enough to keep him alive if the Protection wears off. Killing them all results in a Golden Key. Enter the temple and use the Golden Key. Before stepping into the warp to the next level, backtrack a bit to the Fountain of Youth and use it to heal up completely. When you are ready, come back here and enter the portal. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- h. Level 8 - Temple of Pal-Dul-Dan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 24 Secrets, 43 Chests -Entrance to the Temple of Pal-Dul-Dan- Drops: Expert Warrior's Throwing Axes x20, Iron Key 2x, Expert Archer's Bolas x10, Expert Adventurer's Healing Potion x10, Expert Adventurer's Poison x10, Expert Warrior's Fire Belt x5 Upon entering, defeat the monsters around. Along the eastern wall in the main entrance room are [Life Vial* x4] and [Life Vial* x3]. There are now 3 hallways, one going north, one going south, and one going east. Sending your warrior solo, push the stone through the southern hallway. Along the western wall is a {secret door} with [Expert Adventurer's Mines x20, Life Vial* x4]. Continue to push the block south and then east. Let it rest on the red button and then hit the yellow switch to deactivate the traps. Have the rest of the party join up. On the north side of the hallway right by the yellow switch is a {secret door} with [Life Vial* x3]. On the south side of this hallway a little east of the red button is another {secret door} with {Stone of Power, Life Vial* x2]. From here, go east and destroy the Phantom Generator, making sure to grab the Iron Key here. Head back to the entrance area and take the eastern hallway. Take the first path going south. Here is a chest with [Life Vial* x4, Valve Wheel]. From here, head north. Get ready for the load of Golems and the Phantom Generator here. Mark the Stone Door with a marker and continue as far north as you can go. There is a {weak wall} on the western wall. Inside is a Strength button and [Stone of Power, Life Vial* x3]. The button will open a door to the east. Exit the room and head west to the northwest corner, killing the monsters. There is a {secret door} to the north with a Blue Button and [Expert Warrior's Axe, Life Vial* x3] and there is also a {secret door} to the west with [Life Vial* x4, Stone of Power]. Head back east and take the door you opened with the strength button. Move the stone aside and grab the Iron Key from the Golem inside. Go back to the center entrance room. Give the three stones of power to one person (preferably the Magician since you can use protection) and have that person place the stones in the three altars. This will stop the barrage of fire traps. Head east and destroy the many Golems that lay wait here. One of them drops the Expert Archer's Bolas (though keep in mind that the Expert version is weaker than the Adept's version, perhaps a glitch in the code of the game?). In this room is another Blue Button, so make sure to push it. Right by the chest is [Life Vial* x4]. From here you can either go north or south, as it all leads to the same area. However, I'd rather go north because killing the Phantom Generator there will result in an Expert Warrior's Fire Belt, which is twice as powerful as the adept's. To advance, what you need to do is push the stone block to the gray button. However, in doing so will result in releasing the red button from underneath and reactivate the traps. Have someone stand on the button as another pushes the stone to the gray button. Send the other three heroes through the open door first then have the one standing on the button follow suit. Open up the Iron Door and activate the Mechanism and grab the [Life Vial* x4]. Have one hero head towards the middle room while trying to avoid the gas traps. Kill the Sentinels is in the middle room and press the two red buttons in the corners. Open the chests for [Life Vial* x4, Expert Magician's Healing Spell] and [Life Vial* x4]. Make sure you get the Healing Spell, because it will make healing so much faster as it takes only about 15 seconds to recharge. Once you have the treasures, head to the southern room and open that Iron Door. Read the Incantation behind the door which will open the door in the middle room on the east side. Watch out for the Sentinels here, as they move fast. The best method is to use the Rain of Fire Curse in the middle of an area and let them hit it to cause them to explode. There is a Pharaoh in the middle of the room, so use whatever you need to get rid of him (Bolas can do the trick again). Have the archer go through the {narrow pass} to the north and press the gray button. Grab the [Life Vial* x4] and head south to the door you just opened. Press the strength button and grab the [Life Vial* x4] from this chest. Go through the door to the east to the Chamber of the Six Valves. -Chamber of the Six Valves- Drops: Most Legendary Warrior's Shield, Expert Warrior's Throwing Axes x40, Expert Adventurer's Healing Potion x15, Gold Key Don't miss the [Life Vial*, Valve Wheel] from the chest before you enter the larger room. Destroy the monsters and push the gray button. Have the archer stand on this button as rest make their way south. Kill the Phantom Generator for a Most Legendary Warrior's Shield. To the east is a {weak wall} with some pipes around it. Shoot the pipes to destroy the wall, then send the Magician in that room for the [Life Vial* x4] and to read the Incantation. This will open the door to the east, where you can send your Warrior there to push the strength button and grab the [Life Vial*, Expert Warrior's Mace]. Have the Warrior go back to where the Archer is and have him stand on the stone. Have the Archer go south and stand on that gray button while the Magician and Adventurer go south. Jump across the Lava and continue, killing the Lava Spirits and the Phantom Generator. Grab the [Life Vial* x4, Stone Key] from the chest from the room to the south, then head back to the Entrance to the Temple. Remember the Stone Door I told you to mark? Go back there with the one who has the Stone Key and enter it for a chest with [Life Vial* x2, Valve Wheel]. Head back to the Chamber and go back to where you jumped across the lava pool. Jump east to the next room. Activate the Mechanism on the north side and continue east then south to the Phantom Generator. Read the Incantation inside and open the chest for [Life Vial*, Valve Wheel, Expert Magician's Rain of Fire Curse]. Make sure you get this staff. Head back to where the Warrior and Archer are. Have Mac and the Magician replace the two on the stones. You will notice now that the southern doors are blocked, so head north and destroy the pipe blocking the {weak wall} to the west. Grab the [Valve Wheel, Life Vial*, Expert Archer's Vision Prism]. Head north and destroy the Phantom Generator. Have a hero stand next to the gray buttons, then have Mac and the Magician step off their's at the southern part. On the northern part step on the southern button and then the northern button. Have Mac and the Magician join up with the one standing on the southern button. Remove that one and replace him with Mac. Send the other two up to the last button. Step off the button and have your Archer and Warrior move in between the two doors to the south. Have your Magician step on that button, which will lock the door behind them but open the one ahead. Head south and back to the room where you last activated a Mechanism. Have your archer go south to the {narrow pass}. Open the chest for a [Life Vial* x4, Adept Adventurer's Poison x10]. Press the gray button and meet back with the Warrior. Go east and then north. Press the strength button and then open the chest for [Stone of Power, Life Vial* x4]. Head back to the entrance room. Stand on the gray button in this room and fiddle with the two buttons that Mac and the Magician are on to get everyone in the same room. This should open up all the doors leading north, but someone will have to remain standing on the entrance button. Head north with the other three, and leave one by the button north of the weak wall you blew up earlier. Follow east and kill the monsters and grab the [Valve Wheel, Life Vial* x2] from the chest in the northern part (take great care not to hit the gray button). Use the Stone of Power on the altar here to turn off the fireballs. Jump across the lava pool and press the Blue Button. Jump across the lava to the south and follow a bit, shooting the pipe on the east side to open a {weak wall} with [Life Vial* x4, Stone of Power] inside. Head south and kill the Golems in the room. Make sure to grab the Gold Key and open the two treasures at the north and south ends of the room, containing [Valve Wheel, Life Vial* x2] and [Life Vial* x4]. On the west side by the northern treasure, shoot the pipe to reveal a {weak wall} and [Life Vial* x4]. Make sure to step on the gray button on the west side of the big room, as it will open all doors on the map. Have everybody meet up and unlock the Golden Door. Arm your best weapons and charge the many Golems and Krilons here. This room has 6 pressure valves, three on the northern side and three on the southern side. First, use a Valve Wheel on the northwestern and south- centered valves to open the northern door. Send someone up solo and along the west side is a {secret door} that leads to [Life Vial* x4]. Have the party follow and head north. Kill the Golems then go east and destroy the Phantom Generator. Shoot the pipe to the east for a {weak wall} and a chest with [Life Vial* x2]. Operate the pressure valve then send your Archer to the west with the Crossbow. Take the door going north and slip through the {narrow pass}. Grab the [Expert Warrior's Fire Belt x5, Life Vial* x2] and step on the gray button. Head back to the room with the six valves. This time, place a valve wheel on the north-center valve and on the south- eastern valve to open the door going south. Head south all the way just to rid of the monsters. In the hallway you just went through there is a {secret door} to the east side with [Life Vial* x4] and a {secret door} on the west side with [Life Vial* x4]. Head south and then east, then take the path going south. Kill the monsters and have your archer go through the {narrow pass} and grab the [Life Vial* x4]. Push the gray button and rejoin the party. Head back north and then east. Shoot the southern pipe to destroy the {weak wall} which leads to a Mechanism and [Life Vial* x2]. Now destroy the pipe on the eastern wall to rid of the {weak wall} that contains a chest with [Life Vial* x2] and a valve. Operate the valve and before heading north, heal up with the Healing Spell and equip your best weapons. There are plenty of Golems and a couple of Pharaohs in here to destroy, so make sure you make quick work of them. Once that is done, send Mac north and then far west to the Mechanism there. Grab the [Life Vial* x4] from the chest here and return to the party. Back in the center room is the last Blue Button, so make sure to hit it. The two southern rooms contain an Incantation and a Strength Button. Grab the [Expert Warrior's Keg's x5, Life Vial* x2] from the chest on the southwest corner of this room. Take the center stairs down. -Cave of the Guardians of Pal-Dul-Dan- Drops: Expert Adventurer's Poison x10 The monsters will be thick here, so again make sure you are healed up. Head north and follow until you find the room with the Phantom Generator. Kill it and make sure that you are safe, then have your Magician cast Protection on someone and head back to the lava room and west, jumping across the lava to the Blue Chest with a Travel Speed Potion, 3 Rapid Attack Potions, and 3 Power Potions. Rejoin the party and head west. Destroy the pipe to reveal the {weak wall} with [Life Vial* x2, Expert Warrior's Shock Wave x10]. Follow the hallway west then south. Destroy the Phantom Generator then head back north to the pipe and destroy it for the {weak wall} and [Life Vial* x4]. Continue south and shoot the pipe on the west side to destroy the {weak wall} and grab the [Life Vial* x4, Most Powerful Sorcerer's Fireballs]. Continue south and then east. Destroy the pipe and the {weak wall} and grab the [Life Vial* x4] from the chest. Head east to the southeast corner. You are now very close to the boss. Here you have a couple of options. You can either use your Warrior's Mines or your Archer's Bolas. The easiest way is to first have your Magician clear the area with either the vision spell or the Protection and have him run up and down so that you can see the 3 Temple Guardians. Then, retreat back to the corner and have your magician use Invisibility on your Archer. Start with a Bola on each of the three guardians to stun them, then use the Crossbow and destroy them from the doorway. You should easily kill them all off by hitting them from a distance (since they will not move at all). Now just move the three stones onto the three gray buttons. You should now have all secrets and treasures. Return to the stairs and go up them. Head east to the newly opened door. -Sacred Chamber of the Book of Knowledge- Have a hero stand on each of the buttons to open the book of Hexplore! Go to read it and Garkham will show up! He says that he is a servant of the sorcerers and how the book now belongs to them. Then, many Enchanted Templars appear. Quickly get off the stones and go to the portal. Heal up with the healing spell before going through. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- i.

Anyway, the first thing you need to do is open the {secret door} on the western wall and the {secret door}{secret door} on the north wall (no I didn't type this wrong, it counts as two secrets). Read the Incantation in the northern room with the prisoner as well as step on the gray button. This will open up the doors and you'll find yourself against some glores. One of the guards drops the Legendary Throwing Axes. Step on the gray stone in the center, then on the one in the northeast corner. Go to that room and enter the {narrow pass} for a gray button to step on. Now go back to the center room and step on the gray button to the south of the room you were just at. The prisoner will talk about a flying machine. Follow around south and west, hitting the next gray button. The prisoner here talks about the White Magician being a threat to the evil wizards, who is being held here. Hit the strength button here. Continue west to the next button and push it. Operate the Mechanism inside and talk to the Prisoner who talks about a section in the prison that holds strange monsters. You can continue around and press the gray button that will open the door to your cell. Keep in mind that you can destroy vases here to get some Life Vials** (which are the next step up). The northern door in this room will now be open. Destroy the Captain of the Guards to get some Expert Archer's Darts. The only thing you can do here is circle the area, but in doing so you can pick up the most powerful weapon in the game: The Most Legendary Warrior's Mines. At the level you are at, one of these mines could take out over 14000 HP! Make sure you save them for some bosses. Head back to your cell and take the western secret door that you already opened. Open the next {secret door} to the west and follow north to the next {secret door}. Open the chest for [Life Vial** x3], operate the Mechanism and press the gray button. Go through the door you just opened and kill the monsters. The center area has a lot of monsters, so make sure you are ready for the ambush. Make sure to pick up the Vision Prism of the Best Archer. Step on the center gray button and then start to make your rounds. Start with the southeastern button. Destroy the glores inside and read the Incantation. Open the chest for [Life Vial** x2]. Go to the southwestern button and push it for some more glores and a chest with [Life Vial** x2]. Push the button to the north and [Life Vial** x3]. Hit the strength button and then the button to the northeast of the last gray one you just hit. Kill the glores and have your archer go through the {narrow pass} for [Life Vial** x3] and a gray button. Now head to the northeast button to open that door. To the north side is a {secret door}. Kill the Golems and push the gray button. Go through the door and to the center area again, killing off anything and grabbing the Most Daring Adventurer's Mines (which has the same strength as the Expert's). Time to make your rounds again, start with the eastern button on the north side and work counter-clockwise. Kill the Krilons and open the chest for Life Vial** x2]. The room to the west contains an Incantation and [Life Vial** x2, Most Daring Adventurer's Poison x10]. Continue southwest to the next room where the archer must enter the {narrow pass}. Push the gray button and open the chest with [Life Vial** x3]. Head over to the east side and push the southern button to open that door. Operate the Mechanism and open the chest for [Life Vial** x2]. Head north and push the button. Push the strength button and open the chest for [Life Vial* x4]. Now the door to the eastern cells will be open, so go south to the middle area and then east. Clear this area out and make sure to grab the Most Powerful Invisibility. Again, time to make your rounds. Start with the north side on the east and work counter clockwise again. The northeast side has a strength button and a [Life Vial** x2]. East of that is a {narrow pass} with a gray button and a chest with [Expert Adventurer's Explosive Powder x10, Life Vial** x2]. Head to the south and open the western door for an Incantation and [Life Vial** x2]. East of here is a Mechanism and a chest containing [Life Vial** x4, Explosive Crossbow Bolts x10]. Once that the Mechanism is used, the door to the east opens, freeing the White Magician. Talk to him and he will talk about the Creator Gods and the fall of the evil wizards who search for Eden. And though the White Wizard cannot leave the prison because of the curse on the prison, he tells about the flying machine and will open a door to help escape. Press the button in the middle of this area and go back to the center section. Go into the newly opened room. Kill the Captain of the Guards for a Most Powerful Magician's Wand and grab the [Life Vial** x4].

Inside this cave you will find a couple pieces of equipment for your Magician. Head east from the entrance to the {weak wall} with [Life Vial** x3]. Exit the room and cross the room to the west side with another {weak wall}. From there, go west and then northwest to another {weak wall}.

Make sure you mark this fountain so that you will know where to look when you return. Also in this room is [Life Vial** x3]. Exit the room and break down the last {weak wall} to the north. Exit the cave. Make sure you mark the cave after you exit. From this cave, head directly east to the cliffs and then north a bit to the cave. Upon entering, press the Blue Button by the door. Open the {weak wall} to the west for [Life Vial** x3]. Exit the room and head south all the way to the {weak wall} there. Around here you should also find the Best Archer's Crossbow.

Heal up here with the spell if you can, because going back to the fountain might mean risking the fireballs from the last cave. Just enter the portal to go to the next level. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- j. Level 10 - The Elemental Temples ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 27 Secrets, 43 Chests Just a note before beginning the level, make sure you make a save for the beginning of the level and one for everything after. This is a tricky level and because of experience drops being rare, sometimes you have to go to other places to level up before coming back to the right place. The skills sometimes need to be at level 10 before they can be operated, so if you need a certain level of skill, I will mark it with a (10) after the device, like Incantation(10). The best order to level everyone up here is Archer, Mac, Magician, Warrior. If you want some easy experience, in the Elemental Temples where the Phantom Generators are, place some mines down and let them come to you. Sometimes the Phantoms will drop experience for you to pick up easily. -Banks of the River of Creation- The Demon Dogs here carry 8000 HP and pack a punch, luckily a couple shots of the Mace will send them packing. Clear everything to the west of the river and you should find two stones to move. Mark these stones until you finish clearing. The first one you want to check is the one to the southwest. Push it aside and enter the cave. Grab [Life Vial** x3] inside the chest and exit the cave. Head to the other stone that you saw. Move it aside and enter that cave.

This opens the door to the south. Take the portal here. -Buried Temple- You will be ambushed by some Krilons here. The ladder in the room will take you to the middle cave that you found on the east side of the river. Don't take it because there is a {secret door} to the west that leads to a Mechanism and a chest with [Life Vial** x3]. Operate the Mechanism and then go back to the main room. On the east side is another {secret door} that leads to a gray button and [Life Vial** x3] Step on the button and enter the portal back to the temple of the troglodytes. -Temple of the Troglodytes- Head west through the newly opened door.

Near the north side by the temple lays home to many 10000 HP Enchanted Templars. The best way to take them out is by hiding around the cliff to the east, using a Travel Speed Potion and Invisibility on your Warrior, then having him sneak up on the templars and using his mines. One turn kill! The templars drop the Best Darts, Most Powerful Sorcerer's Wand, Most Legendary Axe, Most Legendary Fire Belt, as well as other things. Just explore the area and mark any stone blocks or caves that you see. There is also somewhere here a monster that drops the Daring Explosive Powder. You should have discovered 3 caves. The first one is in the northwest corner under a stone. Enter it and grab [Life Vial** x3] from inside. Exit the cave. The 2nd cave should be to the far southeast and the 3rd to the far northeast.

You've done all you could do in this area for now.

By the temple on the east side is a chest with [Life Vial** x3, Explosive Crossbow Bolts x10] and by the temple on the west side is a chest with [Life Vial** x3, Most Daring Adventurer's Explosive Powder x10].

They mention that you'll need some Amulets to get inside the temples and that the Fire Temple also requires two statues of fire. Enter the Chieftain's house and the daughter will ask you to save him, since he is very ill. The Chieftain will mention a potion buried in a temple to the west. Now let's explore the caves.

Use a Power Potion, a Travel Speed Potion, and Invisibility on your Warrior and equip him with the mines. Have him go south right past the Phantom Generator to the Kraken. If you go on slow speed, you'll have plenty of time to think about where to move. A couple shots with the mines will send the Kraken packing. Destroy the rest of the monsters before the Invisibility wears out and heal up. Take the final portal to the final level. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- k.

Defeat the Phantoms as well and shoot the yellow switch to the south to stop the traps. Have the party meet up by the yellow switch. Now you're about ready to face some bosses. First off, have everyone hide at the nooks by the walls and heal up. Have someone enter the big room and Garkham will appear. He won't do anything yet, so feel free to uncover the room. Cast Invisibility on your Archer and use a Power Potion, Travel Speed Potion, and Rapid Attack Potion on him. Send him to Garkham and talk. He will start to attack along with 5 other Evil Sorcerers, each whom have 30000 HP! With your Bolas, snipe off the 6 monsters to stun them, then nail them with the Crossbow. This battle is really easy since they will not see the Archer or the others, and the Archer can pick them off one by one, especially if you use the Shift+Click trick. If for some reason the Archer dies, do the same thing for the Warrior and send him out to finish the job. Use the Resurrection stone at the front of the temple to revive. Once they are dead, head west to the newly unlocked door. Heal up if you need it. Open the door and prepare again your Archer with the Bolas, the Potions, and the Invisibility. Go to the west side and talk to God! He will explain everything and says that you shall die for finding Eden. He will attack along with 4 other fighting Gods. Use the same strategy as last time, stun them with the Bolas and use the Shift+Click trick to finish the job with the Crossbow. Shouldn't be too hard, even though each of the Gods have almost 100000 HP a piece. This will open the Door to Knowledge. Go north to the door and enter the portal to finish the game. =============================================================================== IV. Equipment =============================================================================== Here is a full list of equipment in the game. An * after the name indicates that it is a weapon that is consumable. The power of the weapon is calculated by inserting your experience points into x and then solving the equation. For example, at 300 exp, your Adventurer's Katana's power will be at 60 (300/10 + 30 or 30 + 30). Another example is at 500 exp, your Warrior's Fire Belt will be at 533 (2*500/3 + 200 or 1000/3 + 200 or 333 + 200). The location of the equipment is where you can find the item. If it is a consumable item, then you will probably find them elsewhere afterwards. Keep in mind there is no (or I could not find) the: Expert Adventurer's Magic Saber Best Archer's Dagger Adept Warrior's Mace Expert Magician�s Protective Cape ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- a. Adventurer's Equipment ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The adventurer has a wide variety of weapons at his disposal to use depending on what the need calls for (including healing). # Name Power/Ability Location 1. Katana x/10 + 30 Initial * Adept's Katana x/5 + 60 Level 4 ** Expert's Katana 3x/10 + 90 Level 6 *** Daring Katana 3x/5 + 180 Level 9 -Your basic strike weapon. Quick recovery for close combat. 2. Explosive Powder* x/6 + 70 Level 1 * Adept's Explosive Powder* x/6 + 80 Level 4 ** Expert's Explosive Powder* x/4 + 125 Level 6 *** Daring Explosive Powder* x/3 + 100 Level 10 -These powerful explosives are handy early on, but lose their power after a while. Also, unlike other projectile weapons, these will explode after going a distance. If you need some distance though, this is the adventurer's weapon of choice. 3. Blade x/5 + 60 Level 2 * Adept's Blade x/3 + 50 Level 5 ** Expert's Blade 2x/5 + 120, Spread Shot Level 7 *** Daring Blade 4x/5 + 340, Spread Shot Level 9 -If you need a reusable projectile weapon, then use this. It is a pretty strong weapon, the only downfall is that the recovery time is slow on it. 4. Magic Saber x/6 + 50 Level 3 * Adept's Magic Saber x/4 + 105 Level 6 *** Daring Magic Saber 11x/15 + 220 Level 10 -Much like the Katana but the Magic Saber shoots out a beam at the enemy, giving you a little distance so that you're a bit safer. The higher the level, the longer the range is on the beam. 5. Mines* x/3 + 100 Level 2 * Adept's Mines* x/2 + 150 Level 4 ** Expert's Mines* 2x/3 + 200 Level 8 *** Daring Mines* 2x/3 + 200 Level 9 -These mines can be used one of two ways. The most obvious one is to equip and attack with them. The mines explode and damage anything nearby, which is still very powerful, but the best use is when you see a whole lot of monsters gathered around. You can hold down the Shift key and click in a direction to have Mac set these for you. Then, you just lure them into your trap. Set a few for the really big monsters and they'll be sitting ducks. 6. Poison* x/5 + 60, Slows Level 3 * Adept's Poison* 2x/5 + 20, Slows Level 6 ** Expert's Poison* 4x/5 + 40, Slows Level 7 *** Daring Poison* 8x/5 + 80, Slows Level 9 -Though not overly powerful in their own rights, poison still allows you to bide your time with enemies. Being a projectile, just sprinkle some on the enemy and watch them choke. They can still attack while choking, but their attacks are not as fast or as often. 7. Healing Potion* 200 HP Level 2 * Adept's Healing Potion* 300 HP Level 4 ** Expert's Healing Potion* 400 HP Level 7 *** Daring Healing Potion* 800 HP Level 9 -These basically just qualify for another Life Vial, only a bit more powerful and only the Adventurer can use them. Personally, I'd use these before the Life Vials because Life Vials can be used by anybody, but if your adventurer dies and another party member needs to be healed and you're out of Life Vials, unless there is a Resurrection plate nearby, you're screwed. 8. Breastplate 500 Damage Levels 1 & 3 * Adept's Breastplate 1000 Damage Levels 3 & 5 ** Expert's Breastplate 2000 Damage Level 7 *** Daring Breastplate 4000 Damage Level 10 -Decreases your damage by half, but will be destroyed after it absorbs so much of your damage. The stronger the armor, the more damage it will absorb before falling to pieces on you. Definitely a must have. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- b. Archers' Equipment ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Though most of the Archer's equipment is weak and ranged (the Vision Prism and Dagger don't count as ranged), the Crossbow more than makes up for the lack of power. This will probably be used when you are in a bind or when you have to send your Archer alone (and there will be many times). # Name Power/Ability Location 1. Dagger x/20 + 15 Initial * Adept's Dagger x/10 + 30 Level 4 ** Expert's Dagger x/5 + 60 Level 7 -Though the only close-combat weapon for the archer, this weapon will lose its usefulness early in the game after you find the Shurikens. Its strength is close to the bow's, but the archer is weak and thus thrives on ranged weapons. Use this only on level 1 or 2 if you run out of projectiles, else use the Shuriken if you run out of projectiles. 2. Bow* x/30 + 20 Initial * Adept's Bow* x/15 + 40 Level 4 ** Expert's Bow* x/10 + 80, spread shot Level 6 *** Best Bow* x/5 + 160, 5-spread Level 10 (x2) -This will be the weapon of choice for the archer for most of the games. Arrows are easy to come by throughout the game so you shouldn't have to worry about running out soon. 3. Shurikens x/75 + 4 Level 2 * Adept's Shurikens 2x/75 + 8 Level 5 ** Expert's Shurikens 4x/75 + 16 Level 7 *** Best Shurikens 8x/75 + 32 Level 9 -A very weak weapon, but the recovery is very fast. If you can master the Shift-Click method, the Shurikens can be deadly in ranged combat. 4. Darts* x/30 + 10 Level 3 * Adept's Darts* x/15 + 20 Level 5 ** Expert's Darts* x/10 + 30 Level 9 *** Best Darts* x/10 + 30 Level 10 -Though not particularly powerful, the Darts come in handy if you are surrounded by enemies, since they shoot in all directions. However, this is a weapon that you won't see a lot of action with. 5. Crossbow* x/3 + 100 Level 2 * Adept's Crossbow* 2x/3 + 200 Level 5 ** Expert's Crossbow* 5x/6 + 250 Level 6 *** Best Crossbow* 5x/3 + 500 Level 9 -The crossbow normally would be the weapon of choice for the archer, since its power is very extreme. However, Bolts are harder to find than Arrows, so it limits how often the Crossbow can be used. However, there are many points in the game where the Archer has to go at it alone (mostly because of Narrow Passes). When the archer is alone, give him the Crossbow and there is nothing that can touch him. 6. Vision Prism* Reveal Hidden Passage Level 1 * Adept's Vision Prism* Reveal Floor Level 4 ** Expert's Vision Prism* Reveal Hidden Rooms Level 8 *** Best Vision Prism* Reveal Hidden Areas Level 9 -This is a very rare find, so only use them if you really need to use them. They are a bit more powerful than the magician's spell as they reveal even secrets, but again, nothing that should be used freely. 7. Poisoned Bolas* x/5 + 60, Stuns Level 3 * Adept's Bolas* 4x/5 + 240, Stuns Level 5 ** Expert's Bolas* 3x/5 + 360, Stuns Level 8 *** Best Bolas* 9x/5 + 1080, Stuns Level 10 -This is probably the best boss-beater weapon in the game, as one throw of this weapon will spin the enemy around as they choke on the poison. Their attacks will stop, leaving you free to have the rest of your party crush the enemy. 8. Leather Vest 500 Damage Level 2 * Adept's Leather Vest 1000 Damage Level 4 ** Expert's Leather Vest 2000 Damage Level 7 *** Best Leather Vest 4000 Damage Level 10 -Decreases your damage by half, but will be destroyed after it absorbs so much of your damage. The stronger the armor, the more damage it will absorb before falling to pieces on you. Definitely a must have. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- c. Warrior's Equipment ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- While the selection is lacking in the flashy department, it really makes up for it in power (especially the mines). The range on ranged items are very short, so the Warrior will most likely always be in the middle no matter what weapon he has. # Name Power/Ability Location 1. Axe x/6 + 50 Initial * Adept's Axe x/3 + 100 Levels 1 & 3 ** Expert's Axe x/2 + 250 Level 8 *** Legendary Axe x + 500 Level 10 -The standard weapon for the warrior. 2. Fire Belt* 2x/3 + 200 Level 3 * Adept's Fire Belt* 4x/3 + 400 Level 6 ** Expert's Fire Belt* 8x/3 + 800 Level 8 *** Legendary Fire Belt* 16x/3 + 1600 Level 10 -The Fire Belt is a fairly useful weapon that the warrior uses, even though it's very rare to find. When used, it creates a ring of fire around him that damages anything that touches him. This is used best for escape measures as it shouldn't be used that often. 3. Mace 3x/10 + 90 Level 2 ** Expert's Mace 2x/3 + 200 Level 8 *** Legendary Mace 7x/6 + 350 Level 9 -Not much different from the axe as far as ability, however, on an equal level the mace is more powerful. Feel free to switch between as needed. 4. Throwing Axes* x/6 + 50 Level 1 * Adept's Throwing Axes* x/4 + 75 Level 4 ** Expert's Throwing Axes* x/3 + 100 Level 7 *** Legendary Throwing Axes* 43x/100 + 138 Level 9 -The only real ranged weapon the warrior possesses. However, the range is very short, but it's better than nothing. Use only if you need the range. 5. Mines* 4x/3 + 400 Level 3 * Adept's Mines* 2x + 600 Level 6 ** Expert's Mines* 8x/3 + 800 Level 8 *** Legendary Mines* 16x/3 + 1600 Level 9 -Definitely the most powerful weapon in the game, and as rare as it is it should be used on such rare occasions. One or two shots of these short ranged mines can destroy even the toughest of bosses. 6. Shock Wave* x/30 + 10, Stuns Level 2 * Adept's Shock Wave* x/15 + 20, Stuns Level 5 ** Expert's Shock Wave* 2x/15 + 40, Stuns Level 8 *** Legendary Shock Wave* 4x/15 + 80, Stuns Level 10 -This is definitely the most useless item in the game. It's very weak and the only thing it does is sends a wave through the floor in all directions, barely strong enough to kill a Glore. If the waves did something it might be handy, but it just damages. Stay away from using these. 7. Shield 450 Damage Levels 1 & 4 * Adept's Shield 900 Damage Level 3 ** Expert's Shield 1800 Damage Level 7(x2) *** Legendary Shield 3600 Damage Level 8 & 10 -Since the warrior is a tank for the most part, he needs some extra protection. It does offer 1/2 damage protection alongside the breastplate, but when mixed with the breastplate, the two together offer the Warrior a 70% bonus, meaning he only takes 30% damage with the two together. Having the two together also extends the life of both of the items. The only downfall about the shield is that it takes less to destroy, but not by much. 8. Breastplate 500 Damage Level 2 * Adept's Breastplate 1000 Damage Level 5 ** Expert's Breastplate 2000 Damage Level 6 *** Legendary Breastplate 4000 Damage Level 9 & 10 -Decreases your damage by half, but will disappear after taking so many hits. The stronger the armor, the more hits you can take. Definitely a MUST HAVE item in the game. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- d. Magician's Equipment ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Magician only has 3 weapons, and of them the Rain of Fire Curse is probably the best shield/weapon in the game to protect you from an ambush. Other than that, the Magician is mostly support with her spells. # Name Power/Ability Location 1. Wand x/6 + 50 Initial * Adept's Wand x/3 + 100 Level 4 ** Expert's Wand 2x/3 + 200 Level 6 *** Powerful Wand x + 300 Level 9 & 10 -This is the close-ranged weapon for the Magician. It is fairly strong, but as the Magician is fairly weak, this weapon is a bit dangerous to use. Use only if you need her to be alone. 2. Fireballs x/30 + 15 Level 1 * Adept's Fireballs x/15 + 30, Spread Shot Level 4 ** Expert's Fireballs x/10 + 60, Spread Shot Level 7 *** Powerful Fireballs 4x/25 + 116, 5-spread Level 8 -This is the weapon you'll be using for most of the game. The higher level ones shoot in more directions than the last. Very fast and the power isn't too bad, comparable to the Archer's Bow. 3. Rain of Fire Curse 2x/3 + 200 Level 2 * Adept's Rain of Fire Curse 4x/3 + 400 Level 4 ** Expert's Rain of Fire Curse 2x + 600 Level 8 *** Powerful Rain of Fire Curse 2x + 600 Level 10 -This weapon makes very quick work of a small group of enemies, however, the time it takes to recharge is long. It won't be used often unless you come across a large group or unless there is a boss that needs to be owned. 4. Vision Spell Reveal an area Level 3 * Adept's Vision Spell Reveal an area Level 6 ** Expert's Vision Spell Reveal an area Level 7 *** Powerful Vision Spell Reveal a map Level 9 -Much like the Archer's item, this will do the same. However, it won't reveal secret areas. The higher the level, the large the area it reveals. 5. Invisibility* Invisibility, 30 sec Level 1 * Adept's Invisibility* Invisibility, 35 sec Level 4 ** Expert's Invisibility* Invisibility, 40 sec Level 6 *** Powerful Invisibility* Invisibility, 45 sec Level 9 -This is a very handy spell if you want to sneak up on something and kill it quick without taking any damage, or is you need to escape fast. With it, you can also sneak by enemies undetected. Very rare find, so make sure only to use them when needed. 6. Protection Spell* 15 sec Invincibility Level 2 * Adept's Protection Spell* 20 sec Invincibility Level 3 ** Expert's Protection Spell* 25 sec Invincibility Level 6 *** Powerful Protection Spell* 30 sec Invincibility Level 9 -Though very much similar to the Invisibility spell as you cannot be touched, the Protection spell will let you be seen, but you will not be touched. Very rare find, so make sure only to use them when needed. 7. Healing Spell x/30 + 10 HP Level 3 * Adept's Healing Spell x/20 + 15 HP Level 5 ** Expert's Healing Spell x/12 + 25 HP Level 8 *** Powerful Healing Spell x/6 + 50 HP Level 10 It doesn't offer a whole lot for healing powers, but when you have nothing else, use this. Though it takes some time to charge, it is still better than nothing. The good news is that the higher the level, the less time it takes to charge. 8. Protective Cape 500 Damage Level 2 * Adept's Protective Cape 1000 Damage Level 5 ** Expert's Protective Cape 2000 Damage Level 7 *** Powerful Protective Cape 4000 Damage Level 10 -Decreases your damage by half, but will disappear after taking so many hits. The stronger the armor, the more hits you can take. Definitely a MUST HAVE item in the game. =============================================================================== V.

Story items are not included Item Use Gold Key Open Golden Doors Iron Key Open Iron Doors Life Vial Restore 100 HP Life Vial* Restore 200 HP Life Vial** Restore 500 HP Power Potion Doubles your weapon damage Purse of Gold Coins Exchange for Various goods in the game Rapid Attack Potion Doubles your attack speed Stone Key Open Stone Doors Stone of Power Useful in the Middle East to stop traps Tom Thumb Guide Mark Set to mark a place on the map Travel Speed Potion Doubles your walking speed =============================================================================== VI. Monsters =============================================================================== Here is the list of all the monsters in the game. Note that the HP of the monsters changes as the game progresses, so some monsters may have more than 1 number. Name HP Batrachoid (Green) 200/1600 Batrachoid (Red) 200/400/800 Batrachoid (Gray) 400 Brigand (Gray) 150 Brigand (Blue) 250 Caliph of Istarun 2000 Cannibal 3500 Cannon 200 Captain of the Guards (Blue) 500/1000/2500 Captain of the Guards (Red) 1600/4000 Captain of the Guards (White) 3000 Demon Dog 8000 Enchanted Templar 2000/3000/8000/10000 Evil Wizard 30000 Fighting God 99000 Garkham 20000 Giant Insect 8000 Glore (Gray) 60/120/130/520 Glore (Blue) 80/160 Glore (Red) 320/640 Glore (Yellow) 260 God 99999 Golem (Red) 500/3000 Golem (Blue) 2000/3500 Golem (Gray) 3000 Kraken 40000 Krilon (Blue) 300/600/1200 Krilon (Red) 2400 Krilon (Yellow) 600/1200/2400 Lava Spirit 600/5000 Necromancer 2000 Phantom 50/100/200/400 Phantom Generator 250/500/2000/4000 Pharaoh 12000/20000 Saracen Soldier 200 Saracen Captain 500/1000 Saracen Sergeant 350/700 Sentinel 1 Snow Wild Boar 500 Standing Crossbow 800 Temple Guardian 15000 Werewolf 200/1000 Western Soldier 200 Western Sergeant 350 Western Captain 500 Wolf 150 Yeti 2000 Zlig 20/60/120/240 Zombie 100 Zombie (Blue) 150 Zombie (Red) 350 =============================================================================== VII. Gameplay Tips =============================================================================== -Save your Life- Be very careful about your fighters HP, as healing vials are few and far between. If you see a lot of monsters on the horizon, don't hesitate to retreat and set up a trap or something. The Rain of Fire Curse, Mines, and Shockwave Hammer are good items to use to set up traps to lure the enemies into your presence. -Shift is your Friend- Did you know that if you hold the Shift Key down then click that your fighters will use their equipped weapon in the direction of where you clicked? This is especially handy when you want to attack a very long distance but do not want to move. With this method, you can attack at a rapid rate and pick off enemies one at a time. Magician's Fireballs and Archers Shurikens are the best at doing this as they are not consumable, even though they are weak. At a good enough level, those weapons can take out high HP monsters at a distance before they have the chance to strike at you. If need be though, the Explosive Powder, Arrows, and Throwing Axes also work (or any other consumable). -Make use of the Healing Spell- Once you have the Magician's Healing Spell, the game can start to get a bit easier if you decide to wait on it. Though the Healing Spell only heals a very little bit at a time (about 10 + the current level x10), it is still a free heal. Basically, the moment you believe it gets full, USE it on the one with the lowest HP (it takes about 30 seconds to charge). If you are not fighting, you can just have your Magician keep the healing spell equipped and just have it cast it once on the person who needs it and every time it charges it will automatically cast it. -Invisibility and the Archer- The Archer's Crossbow is a very fast and powerful tool if you can use it right. The Archer's Bolas are even rightfully even more powerful. If you're finding a boss fight particularly annoying, start off by casting Invisibility on the Archer and then send him in with the Bolas. Hit the boss(es) with the Bolas to stun them, then fire away with the Crossbow for an easy win. -Make two copies- In this game, mistakes can be made that are costly. So, instead of having to go through the entire game again, when you start a new level, make a save file for the very beginning, and then as you progress, use a 2nd save file for any saves afterwards. This way, if for some reason you mess up and cannot continue, you'll always have the first save to start the level over instead of the entire game. =============================================================================== VIII. Cheats =============================================================================== By pressing ENTER at any point during the game and then typing one of these codes in, then pressing Enter again, you will get the effect that follows. If you see a # in the cheat, it means replace that with a number. Note that it is case sensitive. Cheat Effect Glory Day Reveals the entire map of the area I'll Take You There # Takes you to a specific level (1-11) Mister White God Mode (Invincibility) On/Off My Drug # Gives you # of selected consumable weapon, max 999 Rat Race Completely heals selected characters Satisfaction Rapid Attack Potion effect for selected characters Show Displays position of cursor Talking To Me Instant Death to enemies that come close Think Positive Power Potion effect for selected characters What A Difference Travel Speed Potion effect for selected characters Though these cheats are very nice to use, keep in mind that they may limit the fun and strategy of the game, just like any cheats. The one to be really worrisome about is Glory Day. The reason being is that if you use this right at the beginning of an area, you may forget to explore certain areas, thus making it harder to find what you need. =============================================================================== IX.
