"Realms of {7}Chaos" chronicles one of their greatest {7}adventures, wherein they save the land {7}from the dark and evil shadow that {7}engulfed it. Listen well to my tale... {4}SWORDS AND SORCERY {7}At an early age, Elandra showed a true {7}talent for magic, and became a pupil {7}of the arcane arts. The brawny Endrick, {7}however, found he was better suited to {7}swordplay and the martial arts.{6}INTRODUCTION{4}EARLY TRAINING {7}The brother and sister parted, each {7}attending the best academies of their {7}chosen trades. After several years of {7}intense training, they had each become {7}skilled masters of their art. {4}HEROES FOR HIRE {7}Their training complete, Endrick and {7}Elandra reunited. Their skills in might {7}and magic complemented one another, {7}and over the years they became the {7}most widely respected team of heroes {7}for hire in all of Mysteria.{6}INTRODUCTION{4}THE DARK SHADOW {7}Inexplicably, over a period of many {7}years, a creeping darkness spread {7}over Mysteria. The Realms of the {7}Mryaal, a proud race of cat people, {7}and the Goblins, a secretive race of {7}cave dwellers, cut off all ties with {7}the Realm of the Humans. {4}A REALM UNDER SIEGE {7}During this time, an alien race of {7}strange, violent beings attacked the {7}Human Realm. The Humans rose to defend {7}their homes, and were able to stave off {7}the attackers. Everyone knew, however, {7}that the beasts would return in time...{6}INTRODUCTION{4}UNDERTAKING THE QUEST {7}The siblings agreed to search for the {7}source of the evil shadow ruining their {7}world, and destroy it if at all possible. {7}The first leg of their quest was to {7}visit the Realms of the Mryaal and the {7}Goblins. Perhaps the Humans' former {7}allies had information that would lead {7}them to the salvation of their homes. {4}ON WITH THE ADVENTURE! {7}And thus did Endrick and Elandra set {7}off to perform brave deeds in a world {7}gone mad. The rest of the story is {7}up to you...{6}ABOUT "REALMS OF CHAOS"{4}OVERVIEW {7}"Realms of Chaos" is an exciting {7}action platform game that takes place {7}in the fantastic world of Mysteria. You {7}control Endrick and Elandra, the most {7}powerful pair of heroes in all the {7}Realms. {4}TWO HEROES! {7}During your quest, you have both heroes {7}at your disposal, each with their own {7}abilities, and you can switch between {7}them during the action! If one is having {7}problems clearing an area, or has taken {7}a lot of damage, change to the other!{6}ENDRICK'S PROFILE{4}CLASS: {T050}{7} Warrior {P16602001}{4}WEAPON: {T050}{7} Longsword {4}STAMINA:{T050}{7} 3 HP {4}SEX: {T050}{7} Male {4}HEIGHT: {T050}{7} 6'5" {4}WEIGHT: {T050}{7} 210 lbs. {4}AGE: {T050}{7} 23 {4}BLOOD: {T050}{7} Type O- {4}TURN ON:{T050}{7} Chocolate {7}Endrick begins the adventure as the {7}stronger character. He cannot move as {7}swiftly or jump as high as Elandra, {7}but he makes up for it with the fierce {7}power of his sword.{6}ELANDRA'S PROFILE{4}CLASS: {T050}{7} Sorceress {P17802202}{4}WEAPON: {T050}{7} Fireballs {4}STAMINA:{T050}{7} 2 HP {4}SEX: {T050}{7} Female {4}HEIGHT: {T050}{7} 5'8" {4}WEIGHT: {T050}{7} ? {4}AGE: {T050}{7} 21 {4}LIKES: {T050}{7} Strawberries {4}HATES: {T050}{7} Poodles {7}Elandra begins the adventure as the {7}weaker character, but with the range {7}and speed of her fireballs, as well {7}as her lighter, more mobile body, {7}she has the potential to exceed even {7}her brother's powerful abilities!{6}THE MENU FUNCTIONS{4}MAIN MENU (ESC) {7}This can be accessed both during the {7}main game and the title opening. It {7}allows you to choose from a variety {7}of menus and options. Use the arrow {7}keys to highlight an option, then {7}press ENTER to select. {4}SAVE/LOAD A GAME (F2/F3) {7}You can save your game at any point {7}within a level. You may have up to {7}eight different saved games. When you {7}save, you will be asked to type in a {7}file description. Be sure to save your {7}game often!{6}MORE MENU FUNCTIONS{4}SOUND VOLUME (F4) {7}Different sound cards have different {7}amplification, so use this option to {7}adjust the volumes of the sound {7}effects or music until they are each {7}at a level you find comfortable. {4}TOGGLE DISPLAY (F5) {7}This allows you to toggle the Health {7}Point and Mana Gem display in the {7}upper left corner of the screen. {4}HEROES' STATUS (F6)(TAB) {7}This will show you your score, the {7}current level, each hero's health, {7}and the mana gems you've collected.{6}MORE MENU FUNCTIONS{4}QUICKSAVE (F8) {7}This will save your game using {7}the file and description of the {7}last game you saved or loaded. {4}QUICKLOAD (F9) {7}This loads the last game saved {7}or loaded. NOTE: Neither of the {7}"Quick" functions are available {7}in a menu. {4}QUIT TO DOS (F10) {7}Nothing unusual here. Note that {7}during a game you also have the {7}option to quit to the title.{6}MORE MENU FUNCTIONS{4}TOGGLE MESSAGES {7}You can toggle the messages that {7}appear in the lower left corner. {4}TOGGLE BLOOD {7}This game allows you to turn the {7}bloody effects on or off. If a blood {7}password has been instituted, you {7}will be asked to enter the password {7}before the blood will be switched. {4}BLOOD PASSWORD {7}This feature allows you to lock out the {7}bloody effects if you so desire. This {7}is useful if you are a concerned parent {7}or if you live in one of those states.{6}MOVEMENT{7}You must control Endrick and Elandra {7}as they explore the beautiful and {7}often dangerous Realms of Mysteria. {4}Left/Right Arrow {7}Move your character left or right. {7}You can also move while crouching. {4}Up Arrow {7}Grab and climb vines or chains. {7}Elandra aims her fire upward. {4}Down Arrow {7}Crouch. Elandra aims her fire {7}downward, unless she's crouched. {7}Descend vines or chains.{6}OTHER CONTROLS{4}ALT {7}Fire the character's weapon. {7}Endrick is armed with a sword, {7}while Elandra throws fireballs. {4}CTRL {7}Character jumps. Hold the button {7}down longer to jump higher. {4}SPACEBAR {7}Press to change from Endrick to {7}Elandra or back again. {4}RIGHT SHIFT {7}Hold right shift, and press up or {7}down to look up or down.{6}THE ON-SCREEN DISPLAY{7}The display in the upper left corner {7}keeps you appraised of health points {7}and mana gems in your possession. {4}HEALTH POINTS {7}Each time Endrick or Elandra gets hit, {7}he or she loses some health. Should {7}one of them be reduced to zero, they {7}will die, and you will have to {7}restart the current level or restore {7}a previously saved game. {4}MANA GEMS {7}These are used to power magic spells or {7}artifacts. You can read more about them {7}on the following page.{6}OBJECTS OF NOTE{4}MANA GEMS {7}These can be found floating in the air {7}throughout Mysteria. Elandra's fireballs {7}each cost 1 Mana Gem to cast. Some magic {7}artifacts cost certain numbers of these {7}gems to activate. {4}CONTAINER STATUES {7}You will sometimes find hollow statues. {7}Smash these with your weapon, because {7}they usually contain useful items to {7}aid your cause. To pick up an item or {7}gem, just walk over it. NOTE: Slain {7}enemies often drop items as well.{6}COLLECTIBLE ITEMS {7}Steel Coin {4}(50 Points) {P03202510} {7}Pouch of Coins {4}(100 Points) {P03204327} {7}Pearl Necklace {4}(200 Points) {P03206138} {7}Golden Chalice {4}(500 Points) {P03207926} {7}Diamond Ring {4}(1000 Points) {P03209737} {7}Partial Flask {4}(1 Health Point) {P03211520} {7}Full Flask {4}(Full Health Points) {P03213332} {7}Blue Potion {4}(Poisons Hero) {P03215123}{6}MAGIC ARTIFACTS{4}THE PRICE FOR POWER {7}These artifacts exact a cost in mana {7}gems before they activate. {4}MAGIC SHIELD (Cost: 25 Gems) {P02207643} {7}It creates a shield of spinning {7}blades, shredding anything that {7}comes near. Beware, the blades {7}wear out quickly! {4}INVINCIBILITY (Cost: 15 Gems) {P02213245} {7}The heroes become invulnerable {7}for a few seconds. Be warned: {7}spike traps and crushing {7}weight remain deadly as ever!{6}MORE MAGIC ARTIFACTS {4}DEATH BLAST (Cost: 25 Gems) {P02804047} {7}Inflicts incredible damage on {7}every enemy in sight. It's a {7}useful artifact for those {7}desperate situations. {4}POWER UP (Cost: 50 Gems) {P02809651} {7}These tend to be well hidden, {7}but are well worth the effort {7}of finding them. They will {7}increase both characters' {7}weapon power. These do not {7}exist in Super Easy mode.{6}THINGS STARTING WITH "POI"{4}GET THE POINT! {7}Score may be accumulated by gathering {7}treasure. After every 10000 points, {7}both characters' capacity for health {7}points will increase by one, up to a {7}maximum of five. {4}POISONING {7}In "Challenge" or "Psycho Warrior" {7}difficulty modes, beware getting {7}poisoned either by taking a hit by a {7}poisonous enemy or by picking up a {7}blue potion. A poisoned hero flashes {7}blue and slowly takes damage.{6}HINTS FOR SUCCESS{4}SAVE YOUR GAME OFTEN {7}You should save any time you're {7}entering dangerous territory, so {7}that if the heroes die, you can {7}restore a saved game and try again {7}from there, which is better than {7}starting the level all over again. {4}SURVIVING POISON {7}To cure poison, the afflicted hero {7}must pick up a red healing flask. If {7}one isn't immediately available, change {7}to the other hero until you find one. {7}The poisoned hero will not take damage!{6}MORE HINTS FOR SUCCESS{4}KILL EVERYTHING {7}The more enemies you defeat, the more {7}treasure you collect, and the higher {7}score you attain. Every 10000 points, {7}the heroes' staminas will increase, {7}improving their chances for survival. {4}USE BOTH CHARACTERS {7}Each has their own strengths and {7}weaknesses, so learn what situations {7}call for which hero, and be ready to {7}change when necessary. {7}Good luck, and have fun!
