| I am now finished writing the Walkthrough! Yay! Any update after this is |
| most likely to be fixing an mistakes that I find. Hehe. Or maybe |
| discussing this new patch that is out now (if you don't have it yet, go get |
| it! See below for more info). But I am finally through the game! |
| |
| If you are a webmaster and wish to post this on your web page, please email |

| to keep it up to date. There is nothing worse than getting emails from |
| people who saw an old version asking about things that are already in the |
| newer versions. Well, maybe there are worse things, but it IS annoying! |

================================================================================
Walkthrough:
================================================================================

This is mostly a step-by-step walkthrough similar to the walkthrough I wrote
for The Legend of Zelda (NES). I think this format works well for this game.
Also note that this was written using the Normal difficulty setting. However,
since the only difference between the difficulty settings is how much damage
you take (-25% for easy, +28% for hard), this shouldn't have any effect at all
on the Walkthrough. Also once you get the patch (see Notes above, or Patch
Changes just before Final Words) there is a new setting, Nightmare, which
creates faster, smarter, more evil enemies.

Also note that I don't use the "proper" names for most of the creatures. I
usually call them what they look like. This is because the manual doesn't
actually list all the monsters, so I had to make up new names for them. If
you want to see the "proper" names you can check down at the Enemies section
below.

If you find any mistakes or errors in the Walkthrough, please don't hesitate
to email me about it! manymoose@hotmail.com

1. The Beginning of the Game, Ruined Village
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Get the Mithril Short Sword

Hint: Do a Quick-Save (simply press 'Q') after you win every Battle. But
don't just use the Quick-Save. Every once in awhile (say, after you
do something significant, like get the Dragon Armor), you should make
a "Safety Save", that is save it normally with the intention of keeping
that save forever. This way if you find that you missed something, you
can simply reload and keep going. Beats redoing a level...

- Be careful when you first start out, a Wartok will try to sneak up on you.
Don't forget to equip your sword! (use the mouse wheel, or press '[')
- Go north and then east. There is a Wartok here. Go into the house to get a
Health Elixir.
- Now go all the way west. You will see a ruined house there, but don't
bother going inside. Instead go north and slide down to the beach. A
little to the Northwest is some treasure: a Mithril Short Sword, and 3
Health Elixirs.
- Now swim along a little to the west (make sure to come up for air!) and then
go back on shore and head south to get Duncan's Battle Axe (durability
15/150).
- Go back to where you got the Mithril Short Sword, and there is a little cave
just to the south of that. Go in there. There are some Spiders in there so
be cautious.

Spiders: Killing them is pretty easy, just crouch (R-CTRL) and attack if they
get too close. No strategy involved, really. These enemies are weak
enough that you only need to use Atimar's Blade.
