Sand Town
---------
If you are ready, we might as well go to the next town, Sand Town,
which is in D7 X7 Y9. Before you go in, save the game, then cast
Day of Protection. It's going to be tough, in there. Once you've
killed the reception committee, free the mayor and do the rounds of
the town and the sewers. Then go to see the mayor and, do you know
what, he will ask you to clear the surroundings of the town of
monsters. Here we go again. Although I went all over the map and
killed every monster available, the quest to clear the surroundings
of Sand Town remained in my list; in fact, you have to clear the
Caverns and, for some reason, you have to use the Mountain Staff
(see further down) before the mayor will be satisfied. Still, keep
going into the town and see what you can get. You particularly need
more spells.
After that, it is time to go back to A1 and start systematically
going through every square of the map. Go from A1 to A8, then B8 to
B1, and so on, taking whatever you find to whoever needs it. When
exploring around C3 use the Levitate spell - some clouds around here
can let you down rather painfully. Here are some of the places
you'll be visiting.
Rettig's Pyramid
----------------
You'll have to wall-kick all the way to the center, describing a
square "spiral".
Ascihep's Pyramid
-----------------
Start by casting Day of Protection and Day of Sourcery (do this
whenever you enter these places). Drink only from the red fountains
and a wall will open up to the N. You will find the Mountain Staff
here. You can drink from the blue fountains on the way back.
Old Temple
----------
If you visit all the statues you'll gather that what is missing is
an H, and by an extraordinary coincidence there a shape in the
middle of the floor which could be changed to an H. To do this, and
carefully avoiding the shape, go to the N, place yourself facing the
redundant bit, and S, step forward and then back. Move one place
along and do the same thing. The top bar should disappear. Still
carefully avoiding to step on the dark shape, walk around to the S
and, facing N, erase the redundant bit in the same way. You should
now have a handsome H and walls will open up. In level 2, push a
button over the fireplace - this opens up another wall. In level 3,
you will find the Elder mace.
Canegut's Pyramid
-----------------
You just have to kick your way into all the chambers. Leave the
fountains alone, they are mostly poisonous. There were two levers
here, but I was using the Day of Sorcery spell and the two guys
either side of the play area shook their heads so vehemently when I
went to pull them that I desisted. Try it, if you like. At any
rate, you get the Sky Hook here. Not a lot of use.
Trapist Monastery
-----------------
Nothing terribly interesting here - you just jump around and get
some items. There are levers here which my guardians didn't approve
of me pulling - I did, anyway, in various combinations but nothing
happened. May be you'll have better luck.
Caverns
-------
Free the prisoner. Collect 30 gems (there is one in a hidden
chamber in Level 1 - kick a wall in to get at it). When you get to
the magic pool, pull the lever, click on the pool and shove the gems
in and then pull the lever again. This should send some citizens
hurrying back to Sand Town.
Since it is important that you open every single chest in this area,
here is a list of all the riddles I found, here and elsewhere, in
case you are stuck:
Yellow... Gold
Land... Butterfly
Water... Tears
Bones... Sword
Shadows... Hope
My first is in apple... Peace
Face... Clock
Four legs... Bed
Neck... Bottle
Break... Silence
Feed... Fire
When covering each square of the map be aware that you should use
the Levitate spell around C3, since some clouds might put you back
in Greyhaven. Once you've been to each location, don't forget to
get the Diamond. Consult your quest list and see if you've
forgotten something. I certainly couldn't find the hammer for the
guy in Sand Town, maybe you can. It doesn't really matter, though.
Before you proceed to the NW corner of the map, and if you have not
done so already, go to C6 X7 Y10 and strike the Mountain Staff in
the circle of stones. Hang around here and strike it on four
consecutive days. This is very important. Also, it means that the
Guild will now be open in Sand Town and provide you with those extra
powerful spells.
There are four towers guarded by some guys in huts. Provoke them
into fighting and kill them all. Then go to all four towers and
provoke the wizards into a fight. Click again on each castle to
destroy it and to get important codes. In one of them you should
get an Elder weapon (it changes every time you play).
If you've been everywhere, you should have all 6 Elder weapons. Go
to the castle in Hart and you get a lot of nonsense and a heap of
experience points.
And now it's time to go in for the kill. Make sure you are tip-top
in every respect and distribute the Elder weapons amongst your
characters, though you needn't arm them yet.
Go to E1 X8 Y8. You'll need the diamond to get in. Once you are
inside, go to the console and type TRANSPORT SEQ OMEGA.
The Clouds
----------
You wind up in the clouds. The orb should be chased all around, so
first try and pick it up from the E side and it will move W; next,
try and pick it up from the S and it will move N; and so on.
Anyway, pick up the staff from the treasure heap you'll find.
Continue on. When you get to the end of the path, the orb will have
been transferred to another place and you automatically jump onto a
square. Facing N, advance one step. Turn E and advance one step.
Turn S and advance one step. Get the orb. Next, turn around and
face N. You'll probably have to fight some whirlwinds. The idea
here is to step into the clouds, in the center of the map, and fall
through to...
The Underworld
--------------
Fight all the nasties here and head N. You can use the firestaff in
strategic places, but sparingly: try using it only on the center
line, S to N. You can only use it 8 times. The GateMaster won't
let you through till you fight four more nasties. Make sure you get
them all. Go through and try to get the orb. You get into another
fight. Go to the W and kill whoever you meet. Click on the shrine
and answer Despair. Go to the E and do the same, only this time
answer Pain. Try to get the orb again. Go all the way S to where
you came in and kill the guardian. Then get the orb and go up the
stairs and out. Next, go to...
The Metal Tower
---------------
Before you go in, make sure you have armed your guys with the Elder
weapons. If you need to sort them out in anyway, now is the time to
do it. It is very important that you make a note of the coordinates
for entries and exits into the various levels. For instance, here
you are entering at X3 Y1. Go in, fight the bots, have your Thief
disarm traps and find a functional console at X8 Y14. Type VEGA and
find the Transport Room at X11 Y1. This will take you to the next
level. The same thing again: L2, entry at X11 Y1, console X10 Y12
only the code is now ANTARES. Leave by X4 Y1. Note that in L2
there is an enclosed area which you cannot enter just yet. You'll
be coming back later.
Go on to the next level, L3, entry at X4 Y1, and, at X2 Y10, type
SPICA. Move on to the next level through X7 Y3. And so on. In L4,
at X7 Y14, use the code CANOPUS. In the next level, you will have
the opportunity of disabling the Defense Teleport with the code ORION.
Finish this level and you'll be excluded from getting at Source by
an energy field.
Go back to level 2 and, at X6 Y6, click on the console. You should
now be able to enter the area to the NW of here which you couldn't
enter before. Go to the first console on the left and use the
Positive Orb. Go to the next console and use the Negative Orb.
Move to the W and click on the console - you have disabled the
energy field.
All the way back to this field in L5 and go in through the door. Go
to the computer to the right and click on it. Destroy the Source.
Now it is vital that you find your way out of the ship without
making any mistakes. Every time you find an exit, you are nearer a
disaster. You should make it to the outside without getting blown
up.
End of game. Rather disappointing, didn't you think? With a little
more effort it could have been totally brilliant.
