- On the "Astral Rope" (FTL calls them "Materializers") level, some of the
- buttons have *very* remote effects. You have to press a loose brick in one
- part of the level to open the room (small one in the center of a much larger
- one) with the key to one of the "colorful" locks. After you've defeated the
- Knight there, search his possessions for the next key you need. Then you need
- to push an obvious button with non-
- obvious effect. It opens a room way at the
- other end of the dungeon with another Knight and some items you will probably
- want/need.
-
- Capt.Cook: You really ought to explore the "Cowards..." area if you can take
- it (a green Magical Box and/or Horn of Fear might help). There are some very
- useful items there. My take on the next level down is that it is a death
- trap. If you haven't thoroughly explored the Firestaff level yet, now is the
- time to do it. Then I'd proceed to the bottom level (mind you, I've only
- tried this in a very odd way. I know at least four routes to the bottom
- level, and can't say whether any of the other three will get you killed).
- There is something you need down there, which will probably prove useful on
- the Fire Elemental/Demon level.
-
- Hmmm. Well, I finished the game, and not until level 13/14 did I figure out
- that those skeleton heads on the walls were more than just mere wall
- decorations.
-
- I think I found 3 sets of "Boots of Speed", have the back-
- rank characters
- wearing two. No terribly obvious advantage to them, unless my strategy of
- outrunning fireballs doesn't work without them (I don't think it matters).
-
- COREY, your "Boots of Speed" -
- are these speed boots? if so, notice that the
- characters may still move at normal speed while in the yellow load zone. This
- is in contrast to the noticable delay in movement yellow zone normally
- entails. enjoy!

- J.D.THOMAS .... AS I WAS SAYING BEFORE ,AFTER I FINALLY ENTERED THE 10TH
- LEVEL, THE GAME WAS REAL EASY TO LOCK UP. ONE PLACE WAS WHEN I WAS TRYING TO
- GET THE DIAMOND EDGED SWORD FROM THE HALLWAY THAT FILLED WITH POISON GAS. NOW
- I AM FINALLY ON THE LAST LEVEL WHERE I AM TRYING TO GET THE WIZ WITH THE
- FIRESTAFF.
-
- TO J.D. .... IT LOCKS UP WHEN EVER ALL CHARACTERS RECIEVE DAMAGE AT THE SAME
- TIME. ON THE DOOR..,THERE ISN'T A DOOR THERE,I CHOPPED IT OPEN BECAUSE IT WAS
- LOCKING UP BEFORE.
-
- John: The main factor in regenerating Mana is Wisdom. Raise it, and Mana
- will come back faster (there is a way to raise Wisdom).

- The Difference in the upgraded Version are slight but they do have a bearing
- in the game as you go through.
- 1) At the begining of the game there are more small stone that you can pick
- up and use to throw at the monsters until better equipped.
- 2) When you get down to Level 11 (the knight level) in one area you will see
- a sign that says IF you run you will be chased down and kill (something like
- that) In ver 1.0 you had 2 doors and when you entered into the doors it opened
- a secret wall and there where 2 more spiders waiting for you. Well in the
- ver1.2 they put a door there and it makes it much easier. Although they did
- make it a little tougher in another where instead of having to kill one set of
- 2 knights you have to kill 2 sets of them without the assistance of doors.
- That part I like alot.
- 3) they have taken the RING OF TIME from the level 7(ghosts open arena area)
- 4) In the RA LEVEL they have removed the Lock Picks..put that was no lost
- they did nothing anyway.
-
- Generally the Second level is the "Choose Your Fate" level where there are six
- different doors to choose from...
-
- The Third level is the "Meet your Doom", or "Purple Worm" level...
-
- The Fourth level is the "Treasure Stores" level,
-
- and the Fifth level is the "Riddle Room" level...
-
- The names of course aren't "official", but mostly derived from the features on
- the levels...
-
- Ike, when you successfully Fluxcage and Fuse Lord Chaos, you'll know it.. what
- usually happens is that he'll escape from the cage before you can use the FLUX
- option of the FireStaff... either that, or you didn't get him on all sides...
-
- (If you hear the "Transporter sound", like when you step into a "Blue Mist",
- it means Lord Chaos has teleported himself out of your reach... and you have
- to try again...)
