- Docs For Immortal
-
- Typed by Xanadu/TSL.
-
- The morning sun heats the jagged peaks as you follow the forgotten road down
- to the valley floor. The bleached ruins of great columned temples and towering
- citadels rise from the grassy plain like the bones of some colossal beast.
- This was the ancient city of Erinoch, destroyed by the dragons fire over 1000
- years ago. Mordamir spoke often of this city and the Labyrinth below.....
-
- Mordamir. You think back to the days when you were young and eager to learn
- the spells of sorrcery. The old wizzard Mordamir took you in and patiently
- taught you the arts of magic. he taught you how to read the runes and unleash
- their power. the power of charms and fire. He showed you the strength of steel
- and taught you how to use your wizards cunning. Mordamir was your master, your
- mentor. He was your guard down the treacherous path of wizardry. He was your
- friend.
-
- Many Years have passed sine you last saw the old man. You assumed he was dead
- - that is until a few nights ago, when he came to you in a dream. You woke
- with the uneasy feeling that Mordamir still lived - trapped in a bottomless
- cavern. And so you set out to unravel the secrets of the Immortal.

- COMBAT
-
- When a monster attacks you must fight to the death. The best strategy is to

- himself open.
-

- PARRYING to parry move the stick left & right. Remember if the wizard
- facing you, the movements are reversed.
-
- Lean away from the monsters swing to parry his blow. Your opponent has to pull
- back his weapon before he can swing. When you see him pull back, lean in the
- direction his swing will travel.
-
- USING ITEMS IN YOU PACK
-
- You carry a pack where you keep the valuable items you find. To Look at the
- items press space bar. To use an item from you pack, move the cursor to the
- item and press the joystick button. To exit back to the action highlight a
- blank square and press fire.
-
- Most items are activated by selecting them. A few, however, require additional
- commands:
- Blink spell - once you've selected the blink spell press the joystick
- button to blink.
-
- Carpet - select the carpet to ride through the air select it again to
- deactivate.
-
- Fireball Spell (scroll with '3 shots' written under it) - once you've
- selected the fireball spell, press fire to cast a fireball.
-
- Protean Ring - select the protean ring to activate its magic power.
- select again to deactivate. Note: you can't climb ladders while in
- goblin form.
-
- Sometimes using an item consists of setting it on the ground - eg you use the
- gem by putting it down. Be carefull to pick up again an item if you set it
- down in the wrong place or you'll not find it in your pack later on.
-
- NOTES ON USING ITEMS
-
- Each kinf of item has a specific use - spores can only be planted in dirt,
- while the Troll Ritual Knife can only be thrown. You can't control how an item
- is used, just when and where. Most items are only in a particular place - one
- of the most challenging parts of the game is figuring out which item the
- situation demands.
- When you first get an item, there's no way to know what it does until you try
- it. You can guess an items general use - you wear rings drink potions etc -
- but you can't know an items magical properties until you try it.
-
- PAUSING THE GAME
-
- If you need to pause the game press space to bring up your pack, to resume
- move cursor onto a black square and press fire.
-
- GETTING OUT OF PIT TRAPS
-
- There are deadly pit traps in the Labyrinth - if you are not careful you may
- find yourself hanging by your staff over rows of iron spikes. There is a way
- out before your staff breaks under weight.
- To swing out, gently rock your joystick back and forward at an even pace.
-
- INCREASE VITALITY BY SLEEPING
-
- Piles of straw provide comfortable, SAFE! places to rest and regain Vitality.
- To sleep, move onto the straw and just stand there. After a moment, you'll lie
- down and go to sleep. PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO YOUR DREAMS!
-
- CLIMBING UP AND DOWN LADDERS
-
- To climb up or down a ladder, move up to it and you'll automatically climb or
- descend. Be careful going down ladders - move to the side of the opening with
- the ladder or you'll fall to your death.
-
- COMPLETING A LEVEL OF THE LABYRINTH
-
- Whenever you complete a level, you'll get a certificate. WRITE DOWN YOUR
- CERTIFICATES AND KEEP THE IN A SAFE PLACE. If you quit playing The Immortal,
- you'll need the certificate later so you can start on the level you left off.
- Once you've written down the certificate, press fire to begin the next level
- or quit and resume the game after you've been down the pub to get fucking
- pissed.
- When descending to the next level items not needed are automatically removed.
-
