Combat tips
|
|
In this game, healing spells is very rare. So if possible try to
|
|
win all combats without injuring yourself. This may sounds
|
|
difficult but it is possible. I did! The best weapon is the
|
|
crusader's sword, followed by the longsword. So, when you started
|
|
playing, get the longsword as soon as possible, it is in the
|
|
armoury. The armoury has lots of weapons and armours but don't
|
|
take the armor unless you are carrying very little items, get the
|
|
shield instead, choose the one which give the best protection.
|
|
Weapons skill improve through practice, so stick to the
|
|
longsword at the beginning. Don't waste your spells on the
|
|
guards, save them for the gremlins that are inside the garden
|
|
maze. Fight at the in until you reach the monster's lair. Cast
|
|
two spells into the cave to finish the monsters inside. Once the
|
|
monsters in the lair is destroyed, none will appear anymore. Get
|
|
Elvira's ring and then use it to get the crusader's sword.
|
|
|
|
Make a save before any fight. When in combat, try to guess which
|
|
direction the enemy is attacking, prepare to block when they did.
|
|
If you are injured, carry on the fight but load in the saved
|
|
game and try again until you have defeated the enemy without any
|
|
injury. At first it might be difficult, but once you have a
|
|
weapon skill of 60 and above, combat is easy. So in the mean
|
|
time, endure! Remember one thing though, monsters get lesser and
|
|
lesser as you finish them off. So after a time, you don't have to
|
|
worry about combat anymore. To block an enemy attack correctly,
|
|
all you need is to block/parry at the correct timing, after a few
|
|
fights, you should be able to judge when to block/parry. As for
|
|
attacking, you can try any manner of attacking, but once in a
|
|
while change your combat style a bit to confuse the enemy.
|
|
|
|
Spell Ingredients
|
|
Ingredients are very limited. So try to collect them when you
|
|
came across them. Click on anything you see in the screen. Click
|
|
on trees to get herb, click on plants to get flowers, leaves,
|
|
etc. Click on hole to look inside them. Click on skull to get
|
|
the bottle inside. So, you can see that almost anything that is
|
|
visible is worth clicking. Try not to avoid those area you have
|
|
been to, they might contains some useful items.
|
|
|
|
Six gold keys must be found to open the chest.
|
|
|
|
1. Look for bolts in the drawers or cupboard upstairs. Find a
|
|
silver crucifix. Go to the blacksmith place. Get the crucible in
|
|
the box and place it in the fire. Place the silver cross inside
|
|
the crucible to melt it. Then put a bolt in the crucible to make
|
|
a silver tipped crossbolt. Go to stable. Look at man, when he
|
|
transform into a wolf, use the silver bolt to kill it. Now go
|
|
inside and check out the stable closely. One of the iron ring can
|
|
be removed, behind it is a gold key.
|
|
|
|
2. Go to kitchen. Mix the light spell. Turn left and click on the
|
|
dumb waiter. When Elvira opens it, drag the glowing pride to the
|
|
tunnel to light it up. Elvira will then enter it and give you a
|
|
gold key.
|
|
|
|
3. You will need to practice your crossbow skill with the wooden
|
|
target some where in the garden, just opposite the locked door.
|
|
Practice a few time until you have master it. Now go to the
|
|
falconer, when he release the falcon, use the crossbow to kill
|
|
the falcon. There is a gold key on the dead falcom.
|
|
|
|
4. Fight you way in the jail until you reach the torturer
|
|
chamber. You should see a fireplace with a pair of tongs. Click
|
|
on the iron ring on the floor and drag it to your inventory, This
|
|
will reveal a skeleton and a gold key. Bring the skeleton to the
|
|
catacomb to one of the empty coffin and let it rest in peace.
|
|
|
|
5. Kill the captain in the guardroom. Get the notice. There is a
|
|
gold key behind it.
|
|
|
|
6. Go to the knight which cannot be killed in close fight. When
|
|
he is approaching, use the crossbow. He will fall down the
|
|
castle. You will need to find his body in order to get the gold
|
|
key. His body lies beyond the gate under the well. You will need
|
|
a iron key to open it. The key is guarded by the weretiger at the
|
|
catacombs. You will need the crusader's sword to kill it.
|
|
Before you get the sword, you will need to find Elvira's ring.
|
|
The ring is in the monster's lair in the garden maze. Fight you
|
|
way in until you reach the cave. Cast a few spell into the cave
|
|
to kill all the monsters that are hiding inside. Go in and get
|
|
the ring. Go to the church. Go infront and click at the cross.
|
|
Now drag the ring to the hollow in the cross. A passage will be
|
|
revealed. Go inside and get the crown, go forward to see the
|
|
painting. Use your prayer scroll to open up the painting. Place
|
|
the crown on the king head and get the crusader's sword. Now go
|
|
and look for the weretiger. TIming is criticle, only hacking at
|
|
the right moment will you destroy it (one good hit will kill it).
|
|
Go to the chamber it is guarding and you will find a iron key in
|
|
the coffin. Go under the well, unlock the gate and look for the
|
|
knight's body. It is laying in the middle area, i.e. between the
|
|
wall and the vegetation. Remember, when you see the message
|
|
saying that you don't have enough air, surface immediately.
|
|
|
|
The chest
|
|
|
|
Get the pair of tongs in the torturer chamber. Remember, it can
|
|
only be place in a container or the torturer will get you. Go to
|
|
the kitchen. Move tongs out of the container, click on burning
|
|
coal and drag it to the inventory. The tongs will automatically
|
|
grabs the coal. If you enter water later on, the coal will when
|
|
off, and you can ignite it by coming back to the kitchen and
|
|
dropping it into the oven. Now go and find the cannon. Use the
|
|
tongs with the lit coal to light the cannon. This will blow part
|
|
of the tower off. The chest is in the blown off area. Go find it.
|
|
Remember, you will need 6 gold keys to open the locks. Take only
|
|
the scroll, leave the dagger alone first. Now drag the dagger
|
|
outside the chest, so that it is not on the screen but in the
|
|
room. Now click on the red 'R' to exit from the close up view.
|
|
Now drop your backpack, click on the room icon and drag the
|
|
dagger into the backpack. Then drag the backpack into your
|
|
inventory. You might get killed if you try other ways. So be
|
|
really careful.
|
|
|
|
Emelda
|
|
|
|
She is hidding inside the catacombs. At exactly the middle of the
|
|
catacombs is a small little hole in the floor. Click on it to see
|
|
a close up view. Drag the rune stone to the hole, this will make
|
|
the hole bigger. Make sure you have the following before
|
|
proceeding: ceremonial dagger, scroll of spiritual mastery, and
|
|
the crusader's sword. Go down the hole and you will find Emelda
|
|
draining your life force, so better act fast. First you must drag
|
|
the crusader's sword to the pentagram to weaken Emelda. Then use
|
|
the scroll of spiritual mastery to weaken her further. Then use
|
|
the ceremonial dagger to go for the kill. With this you have
|
|
completed the game. Congratulation !
