|
|
====================================
|
|
|
|
The land of Eriosthe is being threatened by the evil
|
|
magician, Uukrul who was once of the Ancient. Therty led by
|
|
the brave Mara is rumoured to be slaughtered during their mission
|
|
to eliminate Uukrul. Mara is captured and imprisoned in Chaos,
|
|
the jail of Uukrul. Yourrty is chosen to infiltrate Eriosthe
|
|
and find a way to destroy Uukrul and rescue Mara. Yourrty will
|
|
need to search for clues and solve puzzles during game play.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Character Development
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fighting
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
Fighter and ladin will gain levels much faster
|
|
initially in the game as the priest and magician will not be very
|
|
powerful at low level. Fighter andladin can wear the heaviest
|
|
armor and wield the most powerful sword. At highest level, they
|
|
can do 200-300 demage points depending on the weapons used.
|
|
Paladins can lay their hand on enemy to demage them or heal your
|
|
party.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Prayers
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
Priest should try to invoke prayers as soon as possible.
|
|
The priest will need to go to temple if he thinks he is qualified
|
|
for a better ring. Gaining levels will usually rewards the priest
|
|
with one or two rings. However, if the priest will have a better
|
|
chance of getting a higher ring if he is able to invoke the
|
|
prayers of the gods successfully.
|
|
|
|
The prayers to Ufthu are useful during combat. RALKOR
|
|
will send an arrow to strike the strongest opponent. KARNH will
|
|
heavily injure monsters adjacent to the priest. DROM will give
|
|
strength to yourrty so that they cause more demage. IDRIS is
|
|
very demaging to all undead creatures present. THOL will make
|
|
your opponents less effective in combat.
|
|
|
|
Prayers to Drutho are useful in dungeon exploring. UMESH
|
|
will attempts to translate the script on the wall. HOYAMOQ will
|
|
try to force the secret door open, usually a few prayer is
|
|
required before the door is opened. TAPU will reduce demage done
|
|
to the rty in dangerous area. BYNDU is the prayer with no
|
|
arent purpose. MORPETH will help to reduce encounters when
|
|
exploring. BELAMOQ is the most powerful door opening prayer, no
|
|
secret door could withstand its power if successfully invoked.
|
|
However, it is usually not answered and cost a great amount of
|
|
virtue points.
|
|
|
|
Prayers to Gothur are for healing purposes. SIRDHE is the
|
|
basic healing prayer, it will heal a certain amount of wounds
|
|
from each character. HOLNAK will increase your fighting power.
|
|
ELIS will heal completely the character with the lowest hit
|
|
points. TELIS will heal therty completely, but it is only
|
|
answered at an altar. BEYONG will remove poison and plague from
|
|
therty. Usually answered in a sanctuary.
|
|
|
|
Prayers to Fshofth is necessary under certain situation.
|
|
NULAMIR will attempts to silent the enemies. TULAR is only
|
|
answered at an altar. If successfully invoked, it will increase
|
|
the rty's food by 200 units. RULASAIR is similar to TULAR but
|
|
can be cast anywhere, however the increase is only 100 units and
|
|
is more draining than TULAR. EMANUI is usually answered in a
|
|
santuary, it give growing health. KUURAOTH is only needed to wake
|
|
up the dark vision from the mirror that can tell the future of
|
|
Eriosthe. LAIRIAN is needed to light the beacon.
|
|
|
|
Magic
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
Magician gain rings depending on their frequent usage of
|
|
spells from articular discipline. For example, if you use fire
|
|
spells frequently, then you will get the next higher ring of fire
|
|
earlier than the other rings. Generally speaking, you will gain
|
|
one or two rings everytime you gain level.
|
|
|
|
The effects of the crystal spells are not given in the
|
|
manual but you can learn about them by casting CYQIEQARAQK, the
|
|
tome of the Seer.
|
|
|
|
The Tome of the Seer
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
The great mystic Cyqie harnessed his own soul to create
|
|
the spell which destroyed him. CYQIEKUN shall draw forth flames
|
|
of the hell in which he is now imprisoned. So perish all who
|
|
outreach their station.
|
|
|
|
Range: 3 by 3 radius from the caster.
|
|
|
|
Your mirror may scry visions of the future, your globe
|
|
may show thest, but you are now, and forever slave to the
|
|
present.
|
|
|
|
The great mystic Cyqie created the spell of ceaseless
|
|
healing. CYQIETUR shall form a pure blue globe. Those within
|
|
shall be contiually refreshed and restored.
|
|
|
|
The halls of the greatlace, which once thronged with
|
|
life, are silent now. Adron, why did you not smite the darkness?
|
|
But the beacon remains, and the darkness shall be swallowed by
|
|
its light.
|
|
|
|
One from thest shall return. One who is captive shall
|
|
be freed. One who is once of the light shall be returned to the
|
|
greatest light.
|
|
|
|
QADIOS is a mighty spell. It forms around those of pure
|
|
heart the womb of infinity safety. Focus your minds on great
|
|
things and no harm mayss.
|
|
|
|
The obsidian crystal survives in a solamn artifact. The
|
|
hammer lies broken, yet it shall break the darkness.
|
|
|
|
Behold the greatest of spells. MUZAQ shall call forth a
|
|
black trumpet, when the trumpet sounds, the cries of all the
|
|
damned souls in hell shall burst forth in a maelstorm of
|
|
oblivion.
|
|
|
|
Effect: wipe out all enemies.
|
|
|
|
The kauri plaque is broken, the waking vision now sleeps.
|
|
Areth: you will never rule.
|
|
|
|
Behold the mirror that foretells the future. Pray that
|
|
the dark tower may crumble. Prayer that the vision can be
|
|
disspelled. The dark heart of Uukrul must be shattered, it has
|
|
been foretold.
|
|
|
|
General hints
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
At low levels (1-6), therty will not be able to fight
|
|
very well. If you find that yourrty is taking a lots of
|
|
punishment, try to let them gain higher level before proceeding.
|
|
Healing spells and prayers are important, so ensure that you can
|
|
cast/invoke them. Don't proceed further if you find that you are
|
|
having little virtue/psychic points but head straight for the
|
|
nearest sanctuary and rest. When you have reach level 10 or more,
|
|
only the strongest opponents will be able to hurt you. At this
|
|
stage, much time is spent solving puzzles rather than fighting.
|
|
The maximium level possible is 15, at this level, the magician
|
|
and priest will have all their rings complete and will no longer
|
|
need to worry about combats.
|
|
|
|
When you find a key in a certain level, it will usually
|
|
unlock a grate somewhere on that level. You will not be allow to
|
|
drop it before it unlock anything. If your character carry too
|
|
many keys in his bacck, he might not be able unlock the grate
|
|
even though he is carrying the correct key. If possible, don't
|
|
let any character carry too many keys. So it is advisable to
|
|
store the key in the cache in the sanctuaries after it was used.
|
|
|
|
Resting in higher levels sanctuaries will heal the rty
|
|
much faster. So, always teleport to the last sanctuary you found
|
|
before resting.
|
|
|
|
Before you can invoke the prayer TULAR successfully, you
|
|
will need to buy food rations from the supply shop. Once you have
|
|
learn to invoke it, rest in sanctuary to reach full virtue points
|
|
and then go to the altars to invoke it. When travelling long
|
|
distance, make sure that you have at least 2000-5000 units of
|
|
food.
|
|
|
|
If you cannot find a way to open any secret door, try
|
|
ALTIS, HOYAMOQ or BELAMOQ if possible. This situation usually
|
|
occurs when you need to speak a certain word to open the door.
|
|
The words needed is usually the answer to a riddle or a ssword
|
|
found somewhere.
|
|
|
|
Teleporters are only active after you have find it. If
|
|
you know its name but have never been to it, then you can't go
|
|
there.
|
|
|
|
Before you can cast the spell REAAM to identify your
|
|
items. Go to Sagaris and ask him to identify it for you. If the
|
|
properties of any items is unknown, a visit to Sagaris is usually
|
|
rewarding.
|
|
|
|
Searching will reveal most secret doors. However, at
|
|
higher areas, you will need to cast the spell TALIS to reveal
|
|
secret doors.
|
|
|
|
ŠThe Sanctuaries
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
URTAS - Sanctuary of the Ancients
|
|
=================================
|
|
|
|
There is nothing much here, except that it give you a
|
|
feel of the mapping feature. A certainrt here is not allow to
|
|
be mapped and there are some spinner traps that spin your rty
|
|
when you stepped on them. The savage wolf at that level will
|
|
gives yourrty a subtantial amount of punishment, but if you
|
|
cast SHUM regularly, you should have no problem. A vision of Mara
|
|
shows up briefly to tell you to find the frozen hearts.
|
|
|
|
URLASAR - Sanctuary of the Village
|
|
==================================
|
|
|
|

|
this combat will allows you to gain a lot of experiences.

|
visit often throughout the game.
|
|
|
|
The supply shop provides all the necessary items needed
|
|
in the game, you can sell items if you need money, or buy better
|
|
equipments when you have the cash. It will take sometime before
|
|
you can get hold of all the goodies in the shop. Unidentified
|
|
items are usually sold at a lower price, so try to identify them
|
|
before you sell them.
|
|
|
|
Directly behind the shop is a forge for you to rir
|
|
your broken weapons. However, most wooden/magical weapon cannot
|
|
be reforged. So take care of your magical weapons.
|
|
|
|
To the east is a hospice for you to heal or cure your
|
|
party. The price requested is reasonable, soy for healing if
|
|
you need a quick heal instead of wasting food resting in the
|
|
sanctuaries.
|
|
|
|
Behind the hospice is a guild for you to recuit/meet
|
|
people who are eager to join your rty. If your character
|
|
happened to be killed and not resurrected, you will be allow to
|
|
choose a successor. The 3 persons presented will probably be
|
|
cotible to the dead character. When you need to choose a
|
|
successor, consider the choice carefully, you might get a higher
|
|
level character or one which is lower.
|
|
|
|
Beside the guild is the mausoleum which will resurrect
|
|
your characters if they were killed. However resurrection usually
|
|
lower your characters experience points and sometimes attributes
|
|
and the amount of money requested is proportional to the level of
|
|
the deceased.
|
|
|
|
There is a teleporter BORASAL nearby, so that you can
|
|
come here easily.
|
|
|
|

|
|
temples of the four gods. You will need to go to the individual
|
|
god's temple if you want to gain a more powerful ring from the
|
|
god. The teleporter here is BORAMIS.
|
|
|
|
When you go lower, you will find the Circle of Magician.
|
|
Your magician will be able to gain better rings if he is
|
|
qualified. The teleporter to here is ALARIQ. There are messages
|
|
on the walls telling you where to find the 8 frozen hearts.
|
|
|
|

|
|
THE LAST IN THE STRONGHOLD WHERE THE DARK ONE SITS
|
|
|
|
ONE SHATTERED HEART SHALL THE DARK ONE STOP
|
|
|
|
Going back to the hall of temple, there is a place full
|
|
of undead creatures as indicate by a skeleton on a certain map.
|
|
The battle there is tough when therty is at low levels, and
|
|
hidden inside this place is a chrome key. This key unlocks the
|
|
grate to the north of the teleportor BORASAL. Behind the grate is
|
|
a place full of poisonous gases and air. This locations are
|
|
marked with a 'X' on the map. If you step on them, your rty
|
|
will receive a lot of demage. At the point just before you step
|
|
into the poisonous gases, there is a secret door to the north.
|
|
Search for it, and try to open it. Behind the door is a stone

|
|
supply shop.
|
|
|
|
URLUSAM - Sanctuaries of High Vault Ceilings
|
|
============================================
|
|
|
|
The battle in this area is quite tough. Because the
|
|
caverns is very long, and therty can hardly survive till they
|
|
reach the next santuaries at the eastern side. The most dangerous
|
|
opponents are the black orcs. The fighter andladin are unable
|
|
to hit them and they have a lot of hit points. The black orcs hit

|
drop a wand of potency. This wand can be used to translate
|
|
inscriptions. Use it wisely as it has limited charges.

|
|
UREAL - Santuary of Twisted Paths
|
|
=================================
|
|
|
|
This level is basically a setup by Uukrul to test your
|
|
potentials. Pull the chains near the grate to open the grate.
|
|
|
|
When you havessed, Uukrul will close it behind you.
|
|
You are supposed to find your way out of these twistedths. At
|
|
the end of theths is three test put up by Uukrul. Clearing any
|
|
one of these tests will allow you to getst to the next area.
|
|
However, if you opt to retreat, go back to the grate. Uukrul will
|
|
open the grate if you responded correctly.
|
|
|
|
First Test:
|
|
|
|
Find four keys to open four grates to getss. By taking
|
|
note of the four fragments of maps found and then placing them on
|
|
on top of each other, a drawing is formed with some letters on
|
|
it. The meaning is difficult to guess, but on close examination,
|
|
it actually means something quite simple. The message behind it
|
|
is:
|
|
|
|
Cast the spell TALIS whenever you are at a place which
|
|
resemble a U. And you will find a secret door to the key you
|
|
need. Check the maps to learn their locations.
|
|
|
|
Second Test:
|
|
|
|
A secret door lies infront of you. You need to speak a
|
|
word to open it. Since no clue is given whatsoever, the only
|
|
reasonable answer is the word "WORD" itself. So, speak it and the
|
|
door is opened. This is the easiest test but can be quite tough
|
|
if you think in the wrong direction.
|
|
|
|
Third Test:
|
|
|
|
You are supposed to fight the minions of Uukrul. If you
|
|
manage to clear them, you will come to a secret door that is
|
|
easily opened.
|
|
|
|
There are three fights. The first involves three
|
|
organisms that like to spit acid and poison at yourrty. They
|
|
have relatively high hit points and are difficult to be killed.
|
|
The second battle consist of four trolls. They can stretch time
|
|
by their own wish so as to slow down yourrty. They are much
|
|
easier opponents cored to the organisms, but beware, they hit
|
|
hard. The last room is guarded by two fire spirits. They like to
|
|
breathe fire at therty and do a lot of demage. If your level
|
|
is low, there is only a slim chance of successfully hitting them.
|
|
To defeat them is almost impossible unless you are powerful
|
|
indeed.
|
|
|
|
Don't forget about this place when you have clear it.
|
|
Always return to go for the third test. Fight here to gain
|
|
experiences. When you find that you have suffered a great deal of
|
|
demage, turn back and use the other two ways to return to the
|
|
sanctuary URTEHLN. Train here until you can easily ssed the
|
|
third test. Only then you are prred for what lies ahead of
|
|
you.
|
|
|
|
After ssing the test, you will find a urn in an area
|
|
protected by alot of shifting walls. Enter the combinations:
|
|
|
|
^ v ^ ^ ^ v v ^
|
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
|
|
|
|
^ - lever up
|
|
v - lever down
|

|
|
urn. The dark heart of Uukrul is hidden inside. Insert the stone
|
|
hearts you have found into it. You will need six hearts to get
|
|
the dark heart. So, return here everytime a new heart is found.

|
|
stone heart, 1 final card before you drt.

you will find four rooms. Press the buttons to reach different

places. Keep doing so until you have found 4 keys and 1 card.
|
|
Goto level 3 when you find the card.
|
|

URZHUT - Sanctuary of the Great Engineer
|
|
========================================
|
|
|
|
This area stretch over a large distance, so make sure you
|
|
have enough rations and are powerful enough to survive through
|
|
the long journey. Don't miss out any places in this area. There
|
|
are quite a number of magical items for you to collect. You can
|
|
get an enchanted robe and a hat of thought for your magician.
|
|
|
|
Head east, eventually you will reach the control rooms.
|
|
Get the key at the northern control room to open the grate. At
|
|
the turbines, Close gate A and B but leave gate C opened. At the
|
|
carriage control, enter STRIYA. Now the carriage is ready. At the
|
|
northeastern corner, cast TALIS to reveal a secret door to a
|
|
teleporter. If yourrty is weaken, you can choose to get back
|
|
to URZHUT and take the carriage to reach URQOL, otherwise you can
|
|
continue the search for the hammer.
|
|
|
|
Use the map as a guide to find the hammer. The pits are
|
|
difficult, so if possible, bring along some ropes. At the very
|
|
bottom, Speak DARNUTH to open the secret door behind Mara's
|
|
vision. A daemon will be guarding the obsidian hammer. Kill it to
|
|
get the hammer.
|
|
|
|
Now teleport to 4 and head for the carriage. The reason
|
|
gates A and B are closed is because you need to walk ss the
|
|
rooms, if they are opened, the rooms will be flooded. Gate C must
|
|
be open in order to supply energy for the carriage, otherwise it
|
|
won't move.
|
|
|
|
URQOL - Sanctuary Beneath the Cube
|
|
==================================
|
|
|
|
This place is in fact a cube. Picture the map as one on
|
|
top of the other. And in this way, pit are directly connected. If
|
|
you drop from a trapdoor, you will be at the place directly
|
|
below. Keep this in mind when you are using the maps provided.
|
|
|
|
The battle here is quite tough, so yourrty should be
|
|
at least level 10 in order to survive long enough. Look for the
|
|
bronze key at level 4. Anyway, at level 6, you will find a
|
|
trapdoor with 3 handles, pull them in the order 2,1,3. This is to
|
|
open the doors at level 5. Follow the map to level 4 to get the
|
|
stone heart. FInd your way to the grate at level 7. If you have
|
|
not find the key yet, speak the word QOLARIS to open the secret
|
|
door in the room to the east of the grate.
|
|
|
|
URQASTUR - Sanctuary of Adron's Legions
|
|
=======================================
|
|
|
|
This place is a bit unstable at first. There are a number
|
|
of portals that will teleport yourrty to some places the first
|
|
time you step on them. However, the portal will be gone once it
|
|
is activated. So don't be surprised when you are teleported to an
|
|
area not included in the maps provided. The maps only show those
|
|
area that are stable.
|
|
|
|
There are numerous secret doors in this region. The
|
|
password used are DRASZ and SALUNH. Speak them to open the secret
|
|
doors. Travel around to gather the 4 messages in gold.
|
|
|
|
Use the teleporters to reach heart hall. When you are
|
|
there, walk around the place, there is a spot where your rty
|
|
will be able to get inside. The teleporter here is HEARTHALL. And
|
|
the 4 secret doors can be opened by speaking 4 words. The words
|
|
are decode as follows:
|
|
|
|
Pick the nth letter of the nth message and than put them
|
|
together to form a word.
|
|
|
|
e.g. First inspect runes, each letter is given however taken
|
|
F i r e l i g h t
|
|
|
|
answer: Firelight
|
|
|
|
Open the secret doors and fight the creatures behind it.
|
|
You will need to fight a wraith, two fire drakes and one titan
|
|
before you can reach the last door. If you are having a hard
|
|
time, retreat to the teleporter and rest at any sanctuary.
|
|
Teleport here again when you are strong enough. Behind the last
|
|
door is another stone heart.
|
|
|
|
The fight with the Titan is very rewarding, about 8000
|
|
experience point per character. Keep on fighting him until all
|
|
your characters reach level 15 and have get all the crystal
|
|
rings.
|
|
|
|
UROQLAMN - Sanctuary of Adron's Palace
|
|
======================================
|
|
|
|
You will find yourrty in a hall covered with dice
|
|
squares. You will find Adron's die when you defeat the
|
|
necromancers. Search for the secret door as indicate on the map.
|
|
You will find a room with some buttons for you to press. The
|
|
third button will add a diamond, the second button will light the
|
|
dice square equal to the number of diamonds. So, the sequence
|
|
should be 3,2, 3,2, 3,2, 3,2, 3,2, 3,2. Make sure all the 6 dice
|
|
squares are lit before you proceed. Go back to the hall to check
|
|
it out. The dice square should be lightened up by now. Casting
|
|
Adron's die when you are standing on the dice squares will bring
|
|
you to another location.
|
|
|
|
Now, walk to dice square 3 and cast the die. You will
|
|
find yourself in the next location, walk east and you will find
|
|
Sagaris. Speak SAGARIS to open the secret door and follows him.
|
|
He will brief you on your mission. The teleporter here is
|
|
SURAQIS. The altar here will be able to let your priest invoke
|
|
TULAR to provide food for yourrty. The other teleporter here
|
|
will bring you to a code machine just follow the map.
|
|
|
|
Search this area for secret doors to find all the hidden
|
|
messages. You will need to find the beacon codes, beacon commands
|
|
and instructions.
|
|
|
|
After that, go to the next level and visit all the 4
|
|
quadrants. Take note of the 4 quadrant keys. There are 4 gargoyle
|
|
riddles in this area. The answers are: HAMMER, SAGARIS, PRIEST
|
|
and MAGICIAN. If you answered incorrectly, you will be sent to
|
|
some other places. From what I know, there are two different
|
|
places. In the first place, you can get out by walking through
|
|
the walls. In the second place, there is no way to get out by
|
|
searching or walking. Instead, check the inventory of your
|
|
magician, a strange scroll is added to his bacck. By reading
|
|
it, the rty will be able to escape from here. Behind the
|
|
riddles are four prophecies about the future of Eriosthe.
|
|
|
|
Cast Adron's die to reach the next level. There will be
|
|
another 3 riddles in this place. The first two riddles is
|
|
obvious, as for the third, inspect Areth's plague. After
|
|
answering the riddles, you will find Uukrul inside. Since you
|
|
don't have the obsidian heart yet, he will disappear before you
|
|
can kill him. The fight is not difficult though. Cast MUZAQ two
|
|
times and he will disappear.
|
|
|
|
Now, search Uukrul's room, you will find two secret doors,
|
|
speak UUKRUL to open it. You will find another stone heart and a
|
|
code book.
|
|
|
|
By now you should have found at least 6 stone hearts
|
|
already, go to the heart urn and insert the hearts. You will then
|
|
be able to get the obsidian heart of Uukrul.
|
|
|
|
Use Adron's die to goto the hall with 5 dice squares.
|
|
Step onto the square with 5 stars and cast the die. Follow the
|
|
map and find your way to the Beacon Arming Machine.
|
|
|
|
Beacon Arming Sequence:
|
|
use code machine, enter code, command, key
|
|
e.g. enter VGAK, DIVIDE, 6
|
|
result: north quadrant 1231
|
|
|
|
Alternative Arming Sequence:
|
|
use code book, translate code, then apply command with key.
|
|
e.g. using code book, V=7, G=3, A=8, K=6
|
|
therefore, 7386 DIVIDE 6 = 1231
|
|
|
|
Enter the arming sequence in the order north,east,south
|
|
and west. The beacon will then be armed.
|
|
|
|
After arming the beacon, go back to find Uukrul. Cast the
|
|
obsidian heart in his presence and he will be trapped in this
|
|
plane forever. His soul will always regenerate his hit points
|
|
when he is critical, only the obsidian hammer can split his soul
|
|
and kill him. After killing him, you will find an ornate key. Use
|
|
the key to open the grate in his room.
|
|
|
|
His treasure room contains large amount of money and some
|
|
precious items. But you should have no need for them now, so
|
|
proceed to the next sanctuary.
|
|
|
|
URXASZEL - Sanctuary Beyond the Beacon
|
|
======================================
|
|
|
|
Sagaris will give you instructions when you reach here.
|
|
There is nothing in this place, but you will need to go to CHAOS
|
|
to save Mara.
|
|
|
|
CHAOS
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
At any teleporter, enter CHAOS and you will be here. A
|
|
map of CHAOS is given. In this place thessages warp around,
|
|
i.e. if you head north, after sometime you will reach the same
|
|
old place. Most of the walls are one sided, i.e. you can walk
|
|
through one side of them but not both. Many spinner traps are
|
|
found here, so check your map and coss. At certain locations,
|
|
your coss will not work and you can't map. Well, there is
|
|
nevertheless a good news: there is absolutely no fighting in this
|
|
place. Just puzzles solving.
|
|
|
|
So, to aid you in your quest, i have found a very simple
|
|
way for you to rescue Mara. Follow the instructions closely
|
|
unless you want to do it your own way.
|
|
|
|
1. Give the 5 card of moving to your magician. When you step out
|
|
of the teleporter CHAOS. Walk to the elevator just infront of the
|
|
cage where Mara is trapped. You will be teleported to a place,
|
|
head east and you will find a teleporter there. It has button
|
|
numbered 1 to 4.
|
|
|
|
2. Press 3. Walk east, east to get reach the card room. Get card.
|
|
But don't give the card to your magician yet. Go out and step
|
|
into the elevator again. Walk to teleporter.
|
|
|
|
3. Press 2. Walk north, then west to get the ornate key. Walk
|
|
west, west then face east. You will find a grate here. Open it
|
|
with the key and step into it. Read the map. Turn back and walk
|
|
outside. If you cannot find the grate, you can go to the
|
|
teleporter again and press button 3, then walk east then west to
|
|
find the grate.
|
|
|
|
4. Give the 6th card to your magician. Walk into the elevator.
|

You will can to a place where you cannot map. You will need to
|
|
touch all six latches within 18 steps.
|
|
|
|
. . R
|
|
L .
|
|
. E A
|
|
C . . . . V .
|
|
.
|
|
.
|
|
Y @ <- you will be here when you step into elevator
|
|
|
|
You might need to perform this sequence a few time. Head north
|
|
until you reach latch A. Make sure the message "mechanism
|
|
restarted" is there, otherwise you need to move around until it
|
|
is so. After that, follow theth indicated: A - V - C - L - R -
|
|
E - Y. When you have done that, the cage imprisoning Mara will be
|
|
opened.
|
|
|
|
5. Now find you way back to Mara cage. Make sure you don't touch
|
|
the latches again, otherwise you will need to go back and
|
|
activate them again. Walk inside the cage and save Mara.
|
|
|
|
6. Let your magician carries only 5 cards and walk into the
|
|
elevator. Walk east to the teleporter and press 3. Walk south and
|
|
you will be at the teleporter CHAOS. You can go to any
|
|
sanctuaries to save the game if you want to repeat the ending
|
|
sequence. Otherwise enter BEACON at the teleporter.
|
|
|
|
BEACON
|
|
======
|
|
|
|
Sagaris and Mara will be waiting for you here. You will
|
|
need to enter the last verse for the prayer LAIRIAN in order to
|
|
light the beacon. When the beacon is lit, sit back and watch the
