Hi folks,
yes I know it's a real old game, but it has charmed me enough to spend
a -very- long night playing it until Level 12 - only to get stuck there
hopelessly.
Well, one hope remains anyway: Perhaps someone reading this article still
remembers the game and can answer me the following question:
What on earth shall I do with that f... mirrorimage of mine which parted
from me in an earlier level and since then has cheated me one or two times
by drinking potions I had meant for me ?
On the top of Level 12 it comes along again, but this time it swings a
sword it has found there and stabs me ! Not a great problem for a swordsman
one might think, but if we fight, everything I do to the image also happens
to me, so every hit scored on that nastie also wounds me. It is possible to
"win" the fight anyway, for that brat has less energy than I have, but when
my mirrorimage dies (from a final hit or from a deep fall down the level),
I slump down dead, too - very nice !
Trying for quite a while I could neither find a trick to bash the ghost nor
another way to continue the game for there is no door or something like that
to be seen.
I'm looking forward to hear from you solving my problem !
Yours sincerly
--- Niels
