The game starts at your campsite, just outside the city of
Hillsfar. It is here that you must create your character and you
must also return here in order to save your position in the game.
The game is made up of 12 quests, with the quests divided equally
between four characters: wizard, fighter, cleric and thief.
You play each character individually, and complete each of the
quests in order of difficulty.
When creating a character, it is not a bad idea to be "human" as
humans are given more hit points than any of the other races, and
hit points are valuable in the arena.
Get clues on how to defeat your opponents in the arena from
listening to gossip in the pubs.
Use daggers at the archery as these are unaffected by the wind.
Forget about employing a thief when you're one of the other
characters; lock-picking can be frustrating and it is impossible
to pick all of the locks as some have too many tumblers to pick
in the limited time available. It's better to use "knock rings",
or go to the secret room in the wizards' lair and find the
"chime of opening". You will have plenty of opportunity to pick
locks when you become a thief.
Be careful of the crazy wizard! He may leave a pot of gold, or
you may end up in the arena, so you take your own chances when
you ask to see a trick!
Most clues are obtained by opening chests. Some are given by
obtaining higher levels in fighting or archery skills, and others
by talking to characters. Unless otherwise stated in these hints
it will be presumed that the clues are found by opening chests.
