- Since this documentation is a "how to win" guide for windwalker, so if
- you want to enjoy this game to the fullest extent, you should really stop
- reading this. However all you want is the fighting actions and to see the end
- fast, or just getting stuck, this will definitely help.
-
- The first thing you should do in windwalker is training, get yourself familiar
- with the various moves [especially the ranges and recover time (ie. time to
- recover from the attack movement) of all the attack forms that you have] and
- the enemies of course.

- Section 1: ( getting started )
-
- After "vigorous" training, you can venture forth into the "Real World", the
- first thing you should do is to find some thiefs or assasin and kill them for
- money and food. Use the money to buy incense, food ( if necessary ). Then
- go to the shrine to the north of the village(1st village) and talk to the
- monk about incense, he will blessed your incense. Then read the scroll in the
- holy shrine. This scroll will tell you how to use the incense.
-
- Note :
-
- 1. When you burn the incense, you will be prompted for the "prayer" to chant
- these prayers are recorded in the scroll in the shrine.
- They are :
-
- Heal my Body, Restore my Honor, Empower my spirit, Exorcise(fireball)
- è
- their function are self explanatory, and they required blessed incense.
-
- 2. If you are having trouble beating up the thief and assasin, here is an easy
- way to "go about it". First, when you see an enemy and then save the game,
- after you engage him, and the combat isn't going your way, press <q> and run
- away. This will get you back to the "overhead" screen. Choose recall game and
- do the fight again until you win.
-
- 3. You will see a blind man in front of the store, give him the money he asked
- you and ask him about his shoe, buy this shoe, it will come in use later.
-
- Section 2: (after you feel ready to leave the 1st village, ie. you can take on
- tougher foes.)
-
- Get a boat near the shore and sail east of the holy shrine(1st shrine) until
- you find the island with a house on it, this is the explorer's house. Go
- inside and get the map in the cabinet, this is the best map available in the
- game.(you will also find a scroll that is a clue to solve the game but it's
- not important because you have me). After that go to the monastary(mark as
- a walled circular building in the explorer map). Speak to the older monk
- inside, he will ask you if you want to join their brotherhood. You will
- of course join them ( because they will give you the Staff and Robe ).
-
- Note.
-
- 1. In order to join the monks, you 'll have to follow the way of life for one
- day and observer the vow of silence. This mean following the older monk
- the whole day. After that you are tested in combat against yourself, if
- you win, you will get the staff and robe
-
- 2. There are scrolls on the second story of the monastary, the one about
- Nubia is essential in winning the game. But read them all anyway.
-
- 3. If you happen to see another boat in the sea hail it. If it is the fisher-
- man, ask him about buying supplies and buy 4 striped turtle shells.
- (the shell is about 10 bucks each)
-
- 4. If you happen to pass an island where the Heron bird is resting (standing)
- on, disembark and run into the Heron, this will gives you some heron feath-
- ers.
-
- Section 3: ( getting magical talisman )
-
- There are four magical talisman in this game, each one requires a
- special item and a striped turtle shell for the Shaman ( living in a cave
- on the Northwest corner of the Isle of Dead. [approach the island from
- the northwest corner] ) to make. Here are the list and where to find them
-
- Talisman Items required Comments
- (beside the shell)
-
- Invisibility Blind man's shoe buy it from the blind man.
- Mantra is : unseen presence
-
- èWaterWalk water beetle manibles While invisible attack a Water beetle
- The beetles can be found in water in
- the Isle of Dead or a cavern Northeast
- of the Imperial Palace.
- Mantra is : the solid path
-
- Invulenbility Sea dragon's scale While invisible and water walking, at-
- tack a sea dragon. The dragons can be
- found in the water of the Isle of Dead
- Mantra is : the armored one
-
- Levitation Heron's feather Heron's feather
- Mantra is : on the wing
-
- After obtaining the require item and a striped turtle, go to the shaman and
- ask him about "things" and then the name of the talisman.
-
- Note. while on the Isle of Dead, and it happens to be full moon, go to the
- cavern which is just southwest of the Shaman's cave where the tree of
- Immortality grows, there the normal Panda guarding the tree will reveal
- his true form as the God of Luck, he will give you the peach seed that
- is required to win the game.
-
- After you get the Invulenbility talisman, you have pretty much finished
- the game, because when you use it, you won't take damage from any
- combat and the talisman only drain your spirit at a slow rate and the
- money from the defeated foes can be use to purchase incense by the
- truck load and replenish your loss spirit. You can literally start a
- massacre of the Warlord's allies.
-
-
- Section 4: (knocking off your arch-enemies , the warlord and the alchemist)
-
- Once you have the invulenbility talisman, walk into the palace with your monk
- robe on. Go to the building in the back. March up (kill any foolish guards who
- happened to be in your way (or maybe you just hate his face)) the stairs and
- meet the warlord. With the talisman, this should be no problem.
-
- On any night of a new moon ( preferably the 1st night), go inside the palace
- (this can be done before obtaining the talisman but you should had the monk
- robe on to pass through the guards at the front door, unless you go inside the
- palace from the secret entrance from the cave where the water beetles are), go
- to the building in the lower right corner. Copy the scroll on the table and
- go upstairs to the astral gate ( you 'll see the alchemist waiting outside the
- gate doing absolutely nothing.) wait until it is midnight ( you can actually
- sleep there), when the alchemist go in the astral gate, cast an "exorcise"
- (fireball) at the gate. (this will sealed up the gate and trap the alchemist
- within. After that you will have to go back to the two shrines and save it
- from the spirit the Alchemist brought from the Astral Plane. All you have to
- do is cast an "exorcise"(fireball) at the pocessed priest(monk) in the shrine
-
- Note. Be careful while casting the exorcise, it takes a lot of spirit. You
- need a full spirit to cast it.
-
- Section 5: ( to save the emperor )
- Assuming you have kicked the Warlord and the Alchemist, you 'll have to save
- the Empreror who is now imprisoned and drugged. You 'll have to make an
- antidote to free the emperor from the "Fu Ma Ren" drug. You 'll have to
- get a copy of the Alchemist scroll to the medicine man in the SW corner of
- the realm and he will informed you that he has no knowledge of making the
- antidote and refer you to the 2nd medicine man hiding in the cave just NE of
- the Imperial Palace and give you a letter of introduction. Go to this 2nd
- medicine man and he 'll give you a key (which open the cabinet in his house)
- and ask you to fetch a copy of the scroll found in the cabinet. This scroll
- will tell you the 5 ingredients needed for the antidote. They are:
-
- Rhino horn - in the Warlord's cabinet in his room ( get the keys from the
- concubines)
-
- Jasimine flower - From the Nubian Princess living in the bottom left corner
- of the Warlord's house ( back building in the Palace )
- The Princess doesn't speak English, so when you are talk-
- ing to her, first say "Salah"(hello), then "dohnteh"(tea)
- and then "pluumfir"(flower the Jasmine flower)
-
- Seed from the tree of Immortality - from The Isle of Death ( see above
-
- Gold - given by the explorer when you go to rescue him in the Thief's hideout
-
- Jade - found underneath the throne in the throne room ( central building in
- palace )
-
-
- Once you have all five of these ingredients, go back to the cave with a copy
- of the scroll from the 2nd medicine man's cabinet. The second medicine man
- will then leave the cave and go back to his house to make the antidote,
- follow him to his place and wait until he is finished to the Antidote.
- Once you have the antidote, go to the jail ( SW corner of Palace, and use
- invisibility to avoid the Jailer ). Go to the 3rd cell ( counting from
- left to right ) and open the door with the key the Warlord had dropped
- when he fled. There you will see the emperor and once you give him the
- antidote and he 'll recover and Moebiuse will elevate you to the level
- of "Windwalker" and End game
-
-
- PS :
- There is a lot of interesting feature in Windwalker, for example
- if you talk to the Nubian Princess while she is bathing, your honor will
- got deducted, and you can actually go through the Astral gate into the
- Astral Plane, etc... Try them out, it's fun
-
- If anyone of you manage to explore the entire Astral Plane, tell
- me about it.
-
- I have included my own savegame in this solution for those who just want to
- see the ending, all you have to do is load it and talk to the emperor and give
- hime the antidote. The filename is end.zip ( character name is Crusader )
