- BLACK CRYPT FOR WIMPS - Part 1
-
- by Mary Scott-Parker
-
- Anyone looking for an excellent R.P.G for the Amiga, with the
- minimum of disk swapping, coupled with wonderful graphics and
- spell effects, need look no further than Black Crypt. I think it's
- the best R.P.G since Dungeon Master. Actually, I think it's
- better than Dungeon Master, but only because it has been able to
- build on DM's excellent standard. There is a built in hint book,
- which makes mapping unnecessary, as it contains maps for all the
- levels. The game is hard, but there is a crafty cheat, which makes
- it much more playable for those who like the odds on their side.
-
- LEVEL 1
-
- The first thing to do is to activate the automatic map maker, by
- clicking on the Magic User's book and then on the Wizard Sight
- spell. Keep this activated at all times and the compass spell,
- when it becomes available, about half way round level 1, when
- Magic user gains a level [keep him throwing the knives]. On level
- 1 there is one door which cannot be opened without a key from
- level 2. In the big room on level 2 resides the twin-headed Ogre,
- who can only be killed with the sword Ogreblade [access to which
- is through the locked door on level 1]. To get the necessary key,
- you need to move the Ogre from his current position, and it's
- easiest to do this at the beginning.
-
- Get the Backpack and the Wooden Shield, then turn x 2 and go F
- [forward] x 2, then R [right] x 3 to the stairs [at 05.19.1]. Go
- down the stairs, step Right and open the Right hand door
- [08.27.2]. Advance 3 steps into the room and pick up the bag and
- the leggings. Step F once more and the Ogre will see you. Retreat
- 4 steps without turning round and then turn x 1 to the Right, so
- that you are now facing the wall. Step back once and when the Ogre
- has stepped through the door onto the adjacent square, hit the
- right arrow and exit sideways up the stairs. Now the Ogre will
- wait there until you return after doing the rest of the level.
