This level has four paths, "some long, some sh..." You need to go down to the Level 9 five times in total. You can wander about this level to your heart's content, but most of the best prizes are downstairs in the brothers' rooms, and your characters should be at level 10 by now.

If you go NW, it's a short path without any good prizes. It leads to the first younger brother's room.

The SW path is longer, and you'll need a platinum key to reach the stairs down (younger brother number two). Also, if you head south, then west, you can find a Chemistry Vol. 6.

If you head S, past the middle stairs down (those lead to the gold doors and finally level 10), just south of that room is a flamesword. SW from there (the easiest way is through the wall) is an X-ray machine.

The NE and SE stairs also require platinum keys to reach. NE is the third younger brother, SE is the older brother.


Level 9

The four brothers' rooms. I'll list these by the stairway on level 8 you use to reach them. Three of them also contain clues to the Shield of Zeus formula, which you need to defeat the Ancient One, but if you'd already picked up a Chemistry Vol. 6 or a pentagram, you don't need them.

NW - There's a flamesword in the NE area, then walk though the mid-S false wall to find a teleporter. You'll appear next to a platinum key, and then moving one space will take you back up to the entrance to level 8.

SW - Go north to find a bazooka, the second-strongest weapon in the game.
The SE corner holders the teleporter to the platinum key.

NE - No great prizes, but the warp is in the SW corner. It leads to the third platinum key.

SE - The warp is to the north, and there's an atomic generator here if you didn't get one (to power your x-ray machine) earlier, or if it was stolen.
This room contains the final gold key, instead of a silver one.

Center - You need 5 Gold keys to get through the doors, but you can use the
Auric Acid to sneak around one if you're short. And here's the final level.


Level 10

First thing you want to do is find the three rooms shaped like arrows, as the tips have directions to the Ancient One. (One is north, one is north-west, and one is south-west) Follow the corridors straight and you should find them fairly easily.

Then you can search the entire level at your leisure. There are plenty of things to find, including suits of Blood Armor, very important Spirit Wands, copies of the various Chemistry books if you've missed them, and other useful weapons.

When you're ready, go into the middle-north area where the rows of one-block rooms are. Near one of them, your grandfather will say, "Remember the acid of gold." Use Auric Acid and dive through the nearest wall into a one-block room. If you got the right one, you'll teleport to the center of the square maze.

In the middle-south of this level, there's a square maze. In the south-east corner of it, you can walk through a wall and get warped to a one-block room in a new area. This is where those directions (the three thirteens) come in handy.
A note reads: SSESESEENNEES
Another note reads: SSWSWSSEEEEEN
A final note reads: ENEESSSWWSSEE

This leads you to the Ancient One, the final boss. To fight him, you need a few things:
* The Shield of Zeus formula. (You can learn this from Chemistry Vol. 6, a pentagram, or the notes on level 9) Use this first, to protect your party from his attacks.
* The Spirit Wand. Equip your medium with this; it will be your main attack.
* Spirit Mirrors. They protect you from the attacks of the Ancient One. Have at least one for your medium, and try to put one on your healer, too.
* The Mesonium formula. Give this to your medium as well, to boost her strength, so you can take down the Ancient One in fewer hits.
* The Erato's Salve formula. Make sure at least one person has this. It's your best recovery spell if your medium gets too scared to attack.
Warning: If you lose against the Ancient One, he'll run off like any other monster, but when you walk forward, you'll be teleported to the very beginning of the game!

If you beat the Ancient One, he'll release your grandfather and you get treated to a lovely view of the mansion exploding as your characters rush out.

FAQ

Q: Where can I find this game?
A: Try these spots: * http://www.the-underdogs.org/game.php?id=322
* http://free-game-downloads.mosw.com/abandonware/pc/role_playing_games/games_d_f/ don_t_go_alone.html * http://21ct.goodolddays.net/ * http://csr.oli.tudelft.nl/ondervereniging/xtc/

Q: Why does "?" sometimes appear in formula books instead of elements?
A: Not entirely sure. This may have something to do with your party's
Intelligence or Intuition ratings. I've had those question marks go away as
I went up in character levels. You can also find pieces of formulas scattered around the various floors, which usually fill in a few of the blanks.

Q: Are you sure this stuff isn't randomized?
A: Well, the formulas aren't. And the levels don't appear to be. The locations of some objects may be (which makes the walkthrough portion of this somewhat less useful), but I have yet to test that extensively. I've only been through the game twice. My instinct says they aren't, because items remain if you don't pick them up, and respawn if you save and restart.

Q: What about the third and fourth gold keys? Aren't they on, say, levels six and seven?
A: Seems that way. I can't find 'em, though. I think the level 7 key has something to do with the spot where the light seems brighter, and the level 6 key is in the art gallery, but again, those are pretty much guesses.

Q: Where's the complete item list? Why didn't you find all the keys? What kind of a FAQ writer are you?
A: The lazy kind. If you find things that I've missed, let me know and I'll add them in. Or just write your own FAQ-you might not have noticed, but mine's the only one around at the moment.
