1. Choosing a Party 
 
During character creation, you get a number of bonus points, randomly 
generated.  Keep rolling until you get a reasonably high set of bonus 
points -- there's no sense in starting off with a weak character. 
 
You want all your characters to be magic-users of some kind, even if 
they're primarily fighters.  For example, don't settle for a fighter; 
wait till you get enough bonus points to get a valkyrie, a ninja, a 
monk, or some other magic-using class.  You may have to try again and 
again before you get a decent number of bonus points; the average 
seems to be about 10, but if you try often enough you can get twice 
that.  I wouldn't settle for anything less than 15.  You want your 
characters to start as powerfully as possible, so they aren't always 
dying in the early stages of the game. 
 
Note: Some people on the net have pointed out that in the later stages 
of the game, your front-line fighters have such great weapons, you 
don't want them to waste their time casting spells.  I would say that 
it depends on the spells.  First of all, the more people who have Heal 
Wounds, the better.  Second, spells like Silence, Dispel Undead, and 
Astral Gate can quickly neutralize groups of magic-using attackers, 
and this is sometimes crucial to winning a combat.  It's true that 
your front line usually just bashes away with their Light Sabers, 
Excalibur, and all the rest...but from time to time, it's tremendously 
helpful to have them cast spells instead. 
 
I have observed that different races recover magic points at different 
speeds.  Since you can't change races, pick races that can recover 
magic quickly -- you don't want to be stuck with slow-recovering 
characters later in the game.  Good races: elf, gnome, faerie, rawulf, 
mook, and maybe felpurr.  Other races are slower to get back magic 
points. 
 
Beginning parties should contain a mage and priest.  These "pure" 
classes learn spells faster than classes that mix magic with better 
fighting ability (e.g. bards, rangers, etc.).  They can change later 
on, once they've acquired a good mix of spells.  Even if you have 
enough points to become one of the advanced characters (Bishop, 
Samurai, etc.) pick simple characters (Mage, Priest, etc.) to start 
out with, because they advance faster than the advanced classes. 
 
Spells you want ASAP: 
     Pr: Heal Wounds, Bless, Cure Poison, Silence, Hold Monster 
     M:  Energy Blast, Direction, Knock-knock, Magic Missile, 
         Sleep, Blinding Flash, Wizard's Eye, Fireball, Iceball 
     Ps: Heal Wounds, Identify, Divine Trap, Silence 
     Al: Heal Wounds, Acid Splash, Cure Poison, Fire Bomb 
 
Many other spells are useful to have (three cheers for Nuclear Blast!) 
but the above are the ones you should aim for first. 
 
Just for the sake of interest, my party started as: 
     Rawulf Valkyrie (F) 
     Felpurr Monk (M) 
     Dracon Ninja (M) 
     Gnome Priest (F) 
     Human Bard (F) 
     Elf Mage (F) 
 
I found that the human just couldn't keep up with the others.  I 
wanted to use her as a spellcaster most of the time, but she just 
didn't recover magic fast enough.  Instead of a human, pick a 
Faerie...but don't start the Faerie as a bard, because a Faerie 
Bard doesn't get the Lute of Sleep that other bards start with. 
 
 
2. Changing Professions 
 
When you change professions, you go back to experience level 1 in the 
new profession.  Your stats drop sharply, but your skills remain the 
same.  Furthermore, you retain all the spells and spell points your 
character had already acquired. 
 
In order to consider the good and bad points of changing professions, 
let's look at a level 10 mage who is considering a switch to a 
samurai.  If the mage has just turned level 10, he needs 300,000 
experience points to reach level 11.  If he switches to a samurai, 
those same 300,000 experience points will get him back to about 
experience level 8 as a samurai.  Thus, if the character stays a mage, 
those 300,000 points give him only one skill improvement (from level 
10 to 11); if the character changes to a samurai, the character gets 
*seven* skill improvements. 
 
The moral is clear: if you want to improve skills quickly, switch 
professions somewhere around level 10.  The price is that your stats 
go back down to pretty pathetic levels, but they increase fairly 
quickly again. 
 
Other things to consider: low level characters can only cast spells at 
low levels.  Thus your level 10 mage may be able to cast a 7-dice 
fireball, but your level 1 samurai will only be able to cast a 1-die 
fireball, even if he has plenty of spell points available.  Don't 
switch professions just before you go into a major fight, and don't 
switch professions for all your characters at once.  Stagger your 
switches so that you always have a few reasonably high level 
characters, so they can cast high level spells. 
 
Certain other skills also depend on experience level.  For example, 
the ninja and monk natural armor class advantage is based on a 
combination of ninjutsu skill and experience level.  For every 
experience level you increase, your AC can go down -1 if you have a 
high ninjutsu rating.  Therefore switching classes (temporarily) 
negates a huge AC advantage if you're a monk or a ninja. 
 
Just for the sake of curiosity, I kept one of my characters in his 
original profession for the whole game: a Dracon Ninja.  By the end of 
the game, *all* of my other characters had skills of 100 in Kirijutsu 
and Ninjutsu; the original Ninja didn't.  Also, all my other 
characters had scores of 100 in at least two magic disciplines; the 
original Ninja only had about 60 in his first discipline (Alchemy, of 
course).  Finally, the original Ninja was only about 4 experience 
levels ahead of the next closest character.  Changing professions 
really does make stronger, more versatile characters, more quickly. 
 
Note: To change to a new profession, you need the minimum stats for 
that profession.  Suppose you have a mage who you want to turn into a 
monk, but who doesn't have enough Piety.  Keep clicking on the mage's 
candle to find out when the mage is getting close to going up an 
experience level.  Save when you get close.  When the mage finally 
goes up a level, the game increases various stats at random.  If you 
don't get an increase in Piety, terminate the game, load the previous 
save game, and take another shot at it.  Repeat until you get the 
Piety increase you want.  It may take some patience, but it saves time 
in the long run. 
 
 
3. General Playing Tips: 
 
Save, save, save.  And save again.  Before you try to open any chest, 
save; that way if you set off traps, you can back up and try again. 
Same thing before you try to open any locked door, and before you go 
through any doorway (since many doorways have combat on the other 
side). 
 
If a character dies in combat, terminate the game and load your 
previous save game.  With patience, you can get through the game 
without ever having to resurrect a party member.  If everyone survives 
a combat in reasonably good shape, save immediately. 
 
Save before you rest.  If you get through the rest period without a 
battle, save before resting again.  It's a "ratchet" approach to the 
game; if something good happens, no matter how small, save so that you 
can move forward from that good point. 
 
Don't kill NPCs until you're absolutely sure you've wrung them dry of 
all relevant information.  If you happen to kill an NPC by accident 
(because they got angry at you and attacked), terminate the game and 
load your previous save game.  If you kill the wrong NPC, you may end 
up in a position where you have an extremely difficult time finishing 
the game.  (Note: some NPCs can show up with annoying regularity. 
Hold your temper, at least until you get the *LEGEND* map.  You 
cannot win the game without this map.) 
 
Take notes.  Lots of notes.  Also make maps when you need to.  The 
automapping feature is okay some of the time, but in places like the 
Halls of the Past (under the Isle of Crypts) and the Temple of Aerial 
Whimsey (in Dane Tower), you need to make your own maps to keep track 
of teleports. 
 
Before you get rid of anything you pick up, take it to an NPC (like 
the Innkeeper in New City) and try to sell it.  He'll say "YOU NEED 
THAT" if it's a crucial artifact of the game. 
 
Have your characters specialize in skills.  For example, have one put 
points into Searching, one into Mapping, one into Artifacts, and so 
on.  Never spend points on Oratory--it goes up automatically.  Same 
thing with mythology and combat skills. 
 
Beginning characters should put one or two points into swimming with 
each level increase, until each character gets to 10 pts.  After that, 
forget it.  10 points means you can survive one second in the water, 
and after that, each time you go into the water, you automatically 
gain a point.  Thus as soon as everyone gets 10 points of swimming, 
swimming practice will give you as many additional points as you want. 
 
 
4. Places: 
 
The following list looks at various places in Lost Guardia and the 
most frequently asked questions about them.  I present them in the 
order I got around to them in the game. 
 
 
4.1. Outside New City: 
 
Suggestions: explore the outside of New City first.  In particular, go 
down the ladder just outside the walls of New City -- there's a little 
dungeon there that seems specifically designed as a training ground: 
easy monsters, a few secret doors, etc.  (You won't have any spells to 
find secret doors yet, so just make sure you look at every wall you 
pass.  The big blue buttons for secret doors are pretty obvious.) 
 
Where do I find the mapping kit? 
     A short distance to the south and east of where you wake up, you 
     can find a treasure chest with a mapping kit inside.  You'll know 
     you're going in the right direction when you get a message saying 
     the woods seem creepy; some distance further on you hear 
     creatures gnawing on bones, then fight a bunch of Alliphoots and 
     Dandiphoots.  (This is a tough fight if your characters are only 
     level 1; better to try the little dungeon first.)  Beyond the 
     phoots, just keep going south and east; you really can't go wrong 
     unless you double back on yourself.  (Have your mage cast 
     Direction so that you know which direction is which.) 
 
How do I get across the field of orchids? 
     Don't try it when you start the game.  Later on, your characters 
     will have no trouble staying awake if they really want to cross 
     it, but there's nothing interesting there. 
 
What does the flying whale mean? 
     Nothing much; it could be referring to a spaceship landing in 
     Nyctalinth. 
 
 
New City: 
 
How do I get into New City? 
     Mention the armorer, whose name you found in the dungeon under 
     the city. 
 
How do I get into Umpani Detache? 
     Wait -- once you get to Ukpyr, you can teleport to Umpani Detache 
     with the Umpani teleport 
 
What should I buy from the Innkeeper? 
     You'll need bananas later. 
 
How do I get into the T'Rang house? 
     Wait -- once you get to Nyctalinth, you can teleport to the 
     house. 
 
How do I get into Old City? 
     The librarian has the key; ask him about ARCHIVES.  The entrance 
     to Old City is in the Condemned Area. 
 
How do I get into the Curio Museum? 
     Use the penny. 
 
What do I do with the heads in the Curio Museum? 
     The *BOAT* map tells you what to do with them. 
 
How do I open the door with the colored lights? 
     Read the black wafer; it suggests the sequence of colored buttons 
     you have to push. 
 
How do I open the security door?  The black wafer just sets off 
alarms. 
     You need a control card...found later in the game. 
 
How do I get into the Weaponry Shoppe? 
     Talk about the BLACK MARKET. 
 
General Notes: Make sure you go everywhere.  Eventually, you'll need 
to get to the statue in the middle of the pool, but don't try it until 
everyone in the party has at 10 points of Swimming.  Search at the 
statue's feet.  Talk to the priest in the temple. 
 
When you free the prisoner from the jail, make sure he doesn't leave 
without talking to you.  If necessary, terminate the game and load 
your previous save game.  Keep at it until he talks to you.  He'll 
send you to Orkogre Castle. 
 
 
4.2. Orkogre Castle: 
 
Why can't I get into anyplace interesting? 
     There are hidden doors in various places.  A "Detect Secret" 
     spell should find them.  If you don't have that spell yet, walk 
     around looking at every wall; the big buttons to open secret 
     doors are fairly obvious. 
 
How do I get into the Outer Sanctum? 
     Go to the blood stains.  Search.  Then use the Polished 
     Steelplate. 
 
How do I get into the Inner Sanctum? 
     Go through all the cells in the prison.  You'll find more secret 
     doors.  The buttons you press may open up secret doors in places 
     you've already searched, so go back through a second time. 
 
How do I get into the Throne Room? 
     You want to catch the monkey's attention.  Back in New City, the 
     innkeeper sells bananas..., or you can find some in one of the 
     prison cells. 
 
What do I tell the king? 
     THE DARTAEN ALLIANCE IS BROKEN! 
 
The king sent me to get something, but it was missing by the time I 
got there.  Am I in trouble? 
     No.  Part of the story underlying the game is that other people 
     are looking for the same things you are.  Sometimes, they may get 
     certain objects ahead of you, particularly maps.  Don't worry. 
     Throughout the course of the game, your competitors slowly kill 
     each other, so that the goodies become concentrated in the hands 
     of a few characters.  Find those characters, and you find all the 
     things that were stolen before you got there. 
 
I couldn't get past the spectral ravens in the inner sanctum the first 
time I encountered them.  However, when I had gained a little more 
experience, I thumped them easily. 
 
 
4.3. Munkharama: 
 
What do I tell Brother T'Shober? 
     SLAY NOT HE THAT CANNOT HEAR. 
 
What good is the polar bear? 
     When you invoke the polar bear, it supposedly adds to your 
     Swimming ability.  I never noticed this myself, but others 
     on the net say it is so. 
 
What is the answer to the well's riddle? 
     COINS.  (What else do you put into a well?) 
 
How do I get into the temple? 
     Swim out to the statue.  Search in the little pools around the 
     statue; you'll find jewels of various colors.  Put each jewel 
     into the urn whose color matches the jewel.  Go back to the 
     statue and use the item you found at the base of the statue back 
     in New City. 
I've searched the temple, but there's one room I can't get into. 
Every time I try, I fall into a trap door. 
     Take the notched stick and go around to the rear of the room that 
     contains the trap door.  Stick the stick in the hole.  This locks 
     the door in place and you can go on your way. 
 
I've retrieved the Holy Work from the temple, but I can't get into the 
Land of Dreams.  I don't know what to tell the guy inside. 
     The front door of the Land of Dreams has a second name on it: 
     GRAN MELANGE.  Talk about this to the apothecary, and he'll tell 
     you the answer to the question that the fellow inside the Land of 
     Dreams asks. 
 
What do I do with the Pipe and the Pastille? 
     Merge them.  Go through the black door.  Sit through a vision of 
     the end of the world.  After the vision is over, use the Pipe and 
     Pastille.  You'll get a different vision and be able to move on. 
 
Where are the five flowers? 
     You can find three of them by going through Ukpyr and exploring 
     the region to the north.  To find the other two, go back to the 
     place north of Munkharama where the river crosses the road.  Go 
     east for a while along the south side of the river.  Then swim 
     across the river and thoroughly explore the region on the other 
     side.  This will require going through mountains. 
 
I can't figure out how to combine the five flowers, as described in 
Xen Xheng's note. 
     The trick is that you have to use Holy Water.  You can buy some 
     at the apothecary's. 
 
 
4.4. Ukpyr: 
 
The Umpani won't let me in. 
     You must have alienated an Umpani somehow.  Go back to the black 
     market guy in New City and strike up a deal.  That should make 
     you friends with the Umpani again. 
 
Should I join the Umpani forces? 
     It's useful.  They give you good stuff like guns, and the thermal 
     pineapple. 
 
But if I join the Umpani, I can't join the T'Rang. 
     You can work for both.  I joined the Umpani in Ukpyr, then ran 
     across the T'Rang north of Ukpyr who asked me to betray the 
     Umpani.  I didn't; I killed the T'Rang instead.  However, later 
     on, the T'Rang in Nyctalinth still tried to recruit me and I 
     decided to join them.  In my opinion I got the best of both 
     worlds...and after I had milked the T'Rang for all the 
     information I could, I used the Thermal Pineapple from the Umpani 
     to trash the T'Rang eggs. 
 
4.5. North of Ukpyr: 
 
How do I get across the whirlpool? 
     Use the rebus egg. 
 
Should I work for the T'Rang? 
     I said I would, then lied to them.  They got upset and attacked, 
     but they were easy to beat. 
 
Why does it tell me that I get an eerie feeling in a certain spot? 
     The spot is haunted.  Remember where you are; you'll have to come 
     back to this spot later. 
 
A raven flies overhead and says, "Al-bie..."  What does this mean? 
     Darned if I know. But the raven might be trying to say "Help me" 
 
 
4.6. Nyctalinth: 
 
Should I work for the T'Rang now? 
     Yes.  H'Jenn-Ra T'Rang will tell you the combination to get the 
     *BOAT* map from Rattkin Ruins, and will also let you use the 
     T'Rang teleport facilities. 
 
What do I do in the graveyard? 
     Make sure you've explored the rest of Nyctalinth first.  Then 
     start by digging up graves.  You'll fall through into a huge 
     underground complex.  This complex leads to yet another statue 
     where you should search for something useful. 
 
How do I get past the eggs? 
     Use the thermal pineapple. 
 
What do I do with the frozen Savant Troopers? 
     Use the Mystery Ray.  You'll find out something interesting. 
 
How do I get the wand that the ghost keeps stealing? 
     Use the TYDNAB EMYT statue in the empty tomb. 
 
What do I do with the wand? 
     Equip it (it's cursed) and you'll be able to go through the force 
     field to find something useful. 
 
 
4.7. Rattkin Ruins: 
 
How do I get in? 
     Just off the road on the way to Rattkin Ruins, there's another 
     small ruin.  Go in and you'll have a big fight with Man o' the 
     Woods (walking trees): a very nasty fight, with three rounds. 
     After the fight, put the Bonsai Tree (from the Inner Sanctum 
     of Orkogre Castle) in the middle of the pavement in the middle 
     of the ruins. 
 
Why should I care about Bertie? 
     He can sell you a potion that you need in the funhouse. 
 
How do I get into the Thieves' Guild? 
     Down on the ground inside Rattkin Ruins, try to pick Blindmeis's 
     pocket.  You'll get a ring.  Take the ring back up to the Thieves 
     Guild entrance, put on the ring, and stick your hand through the 
     window. 
 
How do I get into the Funhouse? 
     Talk to Blindmeis in the Thieves Guild. 
 
What do I do with the teeter-totter? 
     Wind up the weight with the spool handle.  Put the rubber band 
     onto the strange device with two blades.  Drink the featherweight 
     potion before hopping on the teeter-totter. 
 
What do I do with the dowel? 
     Stick it through the hole in the wall.  It will come in handy 
     later. 
 
How should I set the levers? 
     The levers control the direction you go on the water slide. 
     First, take the rope that's attached to the bar and lower it down 
     the hole near the top of the water slide.  Then experiment with 
     the levers.  I just treated the five levers as a binary counter, 
     with up counting as a 1-bit and down counting as a 0-bit.  It's 
     easy to walk through all the possible combinations in a 
     methodical way. 
 
     You can try this combination, I still don't know if it's the correct 
     so mail me about it please. 
     First, some definitions. "Top" means the lever most towards the top 
     of the monitor on the upper level (the one with 3 levers on it) 
     when looking at the level using the map kit, "Right" means the 
     lever most towards the right of the monitor screen, etc. For the 
     levers, 1=down and 0=up. 
 
     Top                    1 
     Right                  0 
     Left                   1 
     Bottom level Top       0 
     Bottom level Bottom    1 
 
      
What's the proper combination of the spears? 
     H'Jenn-Ra T'Rang tells you. 
     It is 534261 
 
How do I tell Don Barlone what he wants? 
     You need the T'Range Portbook and the TX-Decoder.  Use the 
     Decoder on the Portbook. 
 
 
4.8. Giant's Cave: 
 
This is just a straightforward slugfest.  You need the Necromantic 
Helm for later. 
 
 
4.9. Witch Mountains: 
 
What do I do with the vines? 
     Merge them into 1000' of vines.  Use the result at the huge 
     "unscalable" cliff so you can get down into the Tramontane 
     Forest. 
 
How do I find out the names of the witches? 
     Go to the "haunted" spot north of Ukpyr.  Put on the Necromantic 
     Helm.  Wait till the darkest part of the night (midnight).  You 
     will see a haunting that will tell you the names. 
 
4.10. Dane Tower: 
 
What do I do with Jonga powder? 
     On each level, there is a little urn.  Sprinkle Jonga powder into 
     the urn and it deactivates certain traps on the level.  The traps 
     won't stop you, but they will blast you, paralyze you, drive you 
     mad, etc. 
 
What's the story about Belcanzor? 
     You can find him by day in his shop in Dane Tower.  You can find 
     him by night at his shop in New City. 
 
In the Temple of Deadly Coffers, I can't get the gate open. 
     You probably have several coffer keys, you tried one and it 
     didn't work.  The trick is that each coffer key is different, and 
     only one of the keys works on each gate.  By the way, after 
     you've opened all the gates on this level, you can throw away 
     your surplus coffer keys; you'll never need them again. 
 
When I meditate on the word "Moo", some of my characters go to sleep? 
     The ones who manage to stay awake get 1 point of Mind Control 
     skill.  Therefore, you should meditate, step out of the spot, let 
     your people wake up, and step back to the spot again.  Keep doing 
     this until everyone has stayed awake at least once, so that all 
     your characters have the Mind Control skill.  If you're patient, 
     you can keep stepping in and out until all of them have raised 
     their Mind Control skill as high as you'd like. 
 
What do I do with the Book of the Immortals? 
     Read it to see how to summon the demon...but to kill the demon, 
     just whack it.  It's not that tough. 
 
How do I get into the Magna Dane's room? 
     Search the Magna Dane's body.  He's carrying a ring.  Use the 
     ring on the door. 
 
How do I get into the last treasure room? 
     There's a secret door from the Magna Dane's room.  Use the 
     demon's horn. 
 
What do I do with the jeweled pillow? 
     Sell it; it's worth money. 
 
 
4.11. Return to New City: 
 
How do I enter the Security Room? 
     Use the control card.  Use the Blackship command server number 
     (found in Nyctalinth) to check up on Vi Domina.  Use the Security 
     Access server number (given by the malfunctioning Savant Trooper 
     under Nyctalinth) to free her from the cell. 
 
What do I do with the consol ? 
     Try looking up Vi Domina in the personal files. (Host : Black ship command)  
 
How do I free Vi? 
     Use the consol (Host: central security) 
 
What is the codes for the consol ? 
     SERVER : 023@41A2 
     HOST: Black Ship Command 
 
     SERVER : 018@67c1 
     HOST : Central Security 
 
What do I do with the *BOAT* map? 
     It contains the secret of the heads in the Curio Museum, and will 
     let you get the Wikum boat. 
 
 
4.12. The Dragon Cave 
 
How do I get to the Dragon Cave? 
     Go through the mists to the cliffs at the south of Brombadian 
     Bay.  Wait till night.  You'll see a spot of light in one section 
     of the cliffs.  Use the Coil of the Serpent, found in Dane Tower. 
 
Where is Bombadeg? 
     In the water in the middle of Dragon Cave. 
 
 
4.13. The City of Sky: 
 
What do I do with the banner? 
     Give it to Ke-Li, Queen of Sky.  She'll give you something that 
     will give you Eagle Eye. 
 
What is the answer to the first test? 
     The name of the Astral Dominae's creator -- see the beginning of 
     the manual. 
 
What is the answer to the second test? 
     Darned if I could figure it out.  However, I have the following 
     advice from Guido Roessling: write down which buttons are 
     available, then consult the *STAR* map and look up your notes 
     on the Gaelin Stone from the Isle of Crypts.  Each map entry 
     on the Gaelin Stone is represented by three symbols, and one of 
     those is available as a button.  Start where the *STAR* map 
     tells you, and write down in which order you have to press 
     the buttons.  If this doesn't work, try going the other 
     direction (clockwise, if you started counter-clockwise). 
 
     Thanks to Guido.  My own answer was to buy Ankhs of Might 
     from Ke-Li until everyone in my party was STR 18 or better, 
     then to force the door open. 
 
How do I get into the spaceship? 
     Talk: say the name of the creator (see the first test). 
 
How do I get the goodies in the Hall of Preservation? 
     Out in the courtyard, there's a little pavilion (very hard to get 
     to, thanks to those invisible barriers) where you can find a Key 
     of Light.  You only get one key, so you have to decide which 
     treasure you want most. 
 
 
4.14. The Isle of Crypts: 
 
What does the ghost mean by BMOCYENOBB? 
     Read it backwards -- boney combs (sort of).  Way back in Orkogre 
     Castle, you probably found some bone combs in the Queen's 
     Bedroom.  Now in the tombs you'll find a regal-looking female Ork 
     corpse.  Give her back the combs and the ghost will be laid to 
     rest. 
 
How do I open the gate with the dragon on it? 
     You need the Key of the Dragon, found in the Dragon Cave. 
 
How do I kill monster X in the Tomb of Gorrors? 
     Hard work and taking a dozen cracks at it...but you don't have to 
     kill any of the monsters to finish the game.  They're just thrown 
     in to let you build up experience points and to give your hot- 
     shot parties a real challenge. But you can get some really good 
     stuff here as random treasure (things like Faerie caps, Excalibers,  
     Meanad's Lance) 
 
How do I open the gate with the skull on it? 
     Go to the Gaelin stone.  Use the *LEGEND* map on each face.  This 
     will produce the needed key. 
 
How do I find the jewel of the sun? 
     Go to the skull door.  Cast a Wizard's Eye at the 7-dice level. 
     Off to one side, you'll see a secret tunnel beginning from a 
     water square.  Go to the water square, open the secret door, and 
     follow it to the jewel. 
 
What do I do with the jewel of the sun? 
     Go back up to ground level.  Close to the Isle of Crypts are two 
     smaller islands with cubes on them.  Each cube has a false wall 
     that you can walk right through.  Enter one cube; use the jewel 
     of the sun.  Enter the other, and wing it. 
 
Tell me about the Hall of the Past. 
     It's filled with visible and invisible elevators which take you 
     up or down levels.  The whole place consists of eight 8x8 
     squares, and finding your way through is a nightmare.  You just 
     have to map, using the automap feature liberally. 
 
What do I do in the pentagram of the Hall of the Past? 
     Read the *CRYPT* map, and follow the instructions. 
     The right order is : DRAGON, TOWER, MOON, CROSS, SKULL, STAR 
     and EGG 
 
All right, here I am, finally at the Tomb of the Astral Dominae.  What 
do I do now? 
     If you have the globe ring (from the spaceship in the City of 
     Sky) and the amulet (obtained by playing with the jewel of the 
     sun up in the cubes), you're ready to summon Vi Domina and the 
     big bang-up fight with the Savant.  By the way, have one 
     character Use the Elysium of Divinity in the first round of the 
     fight; that's what it's for. 
 
 
5. Other Questions: 
 
How do I get personal skills? 
     Firearms -- sign up as a recruit with the Umpani in Ukpyr 
     Mind Control -- meditate on the word Moo in one lighted area of 
          the dark level in Dane Tower 
     Eagle Eye -- give the Helazoid Banner to Ke-Li in the City of Sky 
     Reflexion -- ask Blindmeis about Reflexion in the Rattkin Ruins 
     Snake Speed -- this comes from the potion you mix from the five 
          flowers 
     Power Strike -- [from the amulet of power (found after the battle 
          with Ymmu in the cemetery of Nyctalinth)] This is probably false 
	  information, It can be from an item in a chest located on the way 
	  to witch mountain. I'll check this out as soon as possible. 
 
How do I find out useful things? 
     Ask every character you meet about RUMORS.  They'll charge you 50 
     GP, but they'll often tell you useful things. 
 
What maps are there and what do you use them for? 
     BOAT -- tells you how to work the heads in the Curio Museum to 
          gain access to the Wikum boat 
     CRYSTAL -- tells you the order to push symbols in the pentagram 
          area of the Halls of the Past, in order to open a door 
          leading to the final level 
     DRAGON -- gives clues for how to open the Dragon Cave in 
          Bombadian Bay 
     FOOLS -- useless 
     GLOBE -- is secretly aimed at Vi Domina and tells her how to open 
          the Tomb of the Astral Dominae 
     LEGEND -- Use this map on the Gaelin Stone to obtain a key to the 
          Halls of the Past; this is the one map you must have in your 
          hands at the time; with all others, you can just read them, 
          copy down their contents, then drop the map 
     SERPENT -- supposedly tells you how to make your way through the 
          Dragon Cave; I didn't need it 
     STAR -- tells you how to use the information from the Gaelin 
          Stone to pass the Second Crusaders Test 
     TEMPLE -- tells you how to open the Munkharama temple 
 
6. Patches, cheats & cracks: 
 
I have collected the paches and cheats on my account, so you can get 
it by anonymous ftp from : zafir.e.kth.se ~johansso/www/wiz7www/ 
 
Wiz 7 won't run on my brand new Pentium, what should I do?  
 
    Try the patch in ds.zip 
 
Are there more patches for wiz7 ? 
 
    There is a patch called cdspatch.zip that might help you 
 
Are there any cheats for wiz 7 ? 
 
    Yes, there's a savegame editor, look for wiz7edit.zip. 
 
How can I loose the manual check ? 
    
    There's two cracks so that you don't have to search for the right 
    word in the manual, but wiz7crack messes up the game, you get one 
    of the worst fights at the start and only magic works :-(. But 
    dscrack seems to do the job, and it doesn't change any files. So 
    look for dscrack.com or zip.  
    Ps. Check your laws if it's legal to use the crack DS. 
 
7. The items in the game 
 
This is an item list generated using the Identify spell and a lot of patience! 
Unfortunately identify seldom tells all the special powers of an item.  These 
'specials' have been determined using the good old trial and error technique. 
 
 
Legend:   Special       When equiping the item, wizardry asks if you wish 
                        to use the items special power.  Where three question 
                        marks are, the special power is not know. 
               WARNING: Usually when special item are used this way 
                        they disappear permanently.  Some items can 
                        be used multiple times before disappearing! 
 
          KIA           Critical kill ability 
          STONE         Can possibly stone target 
          PLYZE         Can possibly paralyze target 
          KO            Can possibly knock out target 
          POISON        Can possibly poison target 
          DRAIN         Can possibly drain stamina from target 
 
          P             Primary Weapon 
          S             Secondary Weapon 
          M             Missile Weapon 
          A             Ammo for Missile Weapon 
 
          Cursed        This item is cursed.  Cannot be removed without 
                        a remove curse spell 
 
          Regen         Regeneration 
 
          C             Works on charges 
          #/#           First number indicates the spell power.  Second 
                        number indicates the number of charges. 
                  NOTE: This is the number that the spell identify has shown. 
                        I do believe that the power level (first number) 
                        remains costant BUT the number of charges COULD change. 
                        Just be forwarned!

You might also add in the description about the items that regeneration 
items are not additive.  There is no difference between using 1 item 
of +1 regen. and 3 items of +1 regen. and 2 +1 regen. items do not balance 
out one -2 regen. item.  It merely takes the highest + regen number and 
the "highest" - regen number, adds them and that's your effective regeneration. 
This allowed me to give my mage the amulet of healing (+2 regen.) and  
the black robes of death (-2 regen.) and the serpent coil (-1 regen.) or 
the staff of doom (-1 regen.) and he would neither gain nor lose hit points 
over time. 
 
ps. Maenid's Lance gives +1 regen. as well...
