GAME OBJECTIVES:

You have two goals in this game:

1. Survival
2. Find all 8 of the magic Talismans of Sir Cabrius
You cannot finish the game until you have all 8 Talismans, and have re-buried
the bones of the wizard Garamon. In addition, you will need to assemble the
Tripartite key.

General tips:


* Don't kill anyone who is not actively trying to kill you (no matter how
rude they may be)
* If anyone asks you to run an errand for them, do it (the reward is
almost always worth it)
* Trust the good guys (identified by the Banner of Cabrius at their door).
They will never steer you wrong.
* Save your game often.
* Talk to people more than once. There are different threads to most of
the conversations. Try different responses each time.
* Write down what people tell you. It may not make any sense now, but
could do so in the future.
Other useful stuff:


1. When using Fly or Levitate: pressing "E" makes you go up, pressing "Q"
makes you go down.
2. You can make a fishing pole with a Pole and Spider Thread (who says
there's no such thing as a free lunch! Fresh fish are also great for
payoffs and for bartering).
3. Make popcorn with corn and a torch.
4. You can make a torch by pouring an oil flask onto a piece of wood.

Mantra chants:
I have included comments on the relative importance of each. NOTE: this is In
My Humble Opinion (which is bound to be different from your opinion, or anyone
elses).


Chant Skill IMHO
FAL Acrobat Need a little to keep from getting hurt in falls/jumps
HUNN Appraise worthless
RA Attack Need LOTS!
GAR Axe Need LOTS only if you are an Axe-man
SOL Casting Need a little to keep from getting hurt when spells
'backfire'
UN Charm worthless
ANRA Defense Need LOTS!
LAHN Lore Need LOTS! (to identify
scrolls/potions/armor/wands/etc)
KOH Mace Need LOTS only if you are a Mace-man
IMU Mana Need LOTS!
FAHM Missile Need LOTS only if you are a Missiles-man
(bow/crossbow/sling)
AAM Picklock Real handy on upper levels, not so handy on the lower
ones
LON Repair worthless, as Shak works cheap (and as fast as you can)
LU Search Need a little to help find secret doors
MUL Sneak mostly worthless
ONO Swimming mostly worthless
AMO Sword Need LOTS only if you are a swordsman
ROMM Traps beyond worthless
ORA Unarmed Need LOTS if you prefer not to carry around a weapon **
** - The game CAN be won without the use of weapons or armor.

Character Creation:

Throw away all the characters in the beginning. For each character class there
are a number of random skills assigned each time that you create a new
character,... except that they aren't random! Let's say I want to be a
fighter. I create a bunch of fighter characters and throw them all away, but
not after writing down each ones' attributes. Now I quit the game, and
re-start the game. I again create a character. The exact same sequence of
characters will appear in the exact same order, but now I know exactly which
one to keep!!

Strength is the most important skill of all. Most of the rest can be im-
proved later via shrine chants, but not Strength. Fighters, Druids, and
Tinkers generally have high Strength factors. You will want to have a Strength
factor of at least 25 in order to wear plate armor, and still be able to carry
a fair amount of goodies. Your carry capacity (measured in units of "stones")
is exactly twice your Strength rating.

The three primary skills (Strength, Intel., Dexterity) are factored in with
the other skill ratings. The final value used by the game seems to be
proportional to the skill level multiplied by the primary skill level tied to
it. These associations are as follows:

* Strength: Attack Defense Unarmed Sword Mace Missile Axe
* Intelligence: Mana Casting Lore
* Dexterity: Sneak Swim Search Lockpick Charm Acrobat Traps Repair
Appraise
For example: If you are trying to pick a lock, the game uses a number based on
your Dexterity TIMES your Lockpick skill.

Maximum Vitality and Mana Capacities: These seem to depend on several factors.
The present theory is as follows:

* Vitality: Depends on Strength and Experience level
* Mana: Depends on Intelligence, Experience, and Mana skill rating
The precise equations using these numbers remain a mystery.

Fun things to do:

On Level 4, NW corner (accessible only from level 7), there are two hostile
mages. Kill one, and leave the other alive. Then get out of his way, as he
will throw fireballs at you. Go find some safe corner in which to hide. The
remaining mage will "summon" a wide variety of nasties for you to kill
(hostile lizardmen, mountainmen, fighters, spiders, headlesses, etc), each
with its usual assortment of goodies. This gives you the chance to sample
battle with all of the various denizons of the abyss, as well as cover the
floors with loot. Every once in a while you may have to go back to the mage
and push him around a bit, to keep him sufficiently pissed off.

Drink lots of Ale and Port all at once - get drunk and pass out! (Just
remember that you need to save at least 1 bottle of Port for rotworm stew.)

Outright spoilers:


Level 1 levers puzzle
with 0 being top position, then clockwise: Turn the lever farthest from the
door to 1, the next to 2, next one 3, next one 4 (straight down).
Level 2 Goldthirsts' password - "Deco morono"


Level 3 Cup of Wonder
Flute tune is: 3 5 4 2 3 7 8 7 5 Mantra for triangulation: "insahn"

Level 4 Maze of Silas
flip the levers in the following order: Silver - Gold - Gold - Silver -
Silver - Gold

Level 4 Bullfrog puzzle
The floor area is an 8 by 8 grid of movable tiles. The two levers select the
X and Y coordinates of the tile you wish to move. Pushing the upper button
on- then-off raises the selected tile. Pushing the lower button on-then-off
lowers the selected tile. The wand simply resets the floor to its original
state for when you screw up too badly. Build two ramps to get to the two
eastern-most corners. Jump through the wall to get into the secret area in
the south.
Level 5 Ring of Humility
hit NW lever, then SE, NE, SW. STAY OUT of the center of the room while
doing this. Hug the walls.

Level 5 Mine Control Code
with 0 being top position, then clockwise: Left to Right: 7 2 6

Level 5 Garamon
wants you to throw the "talismans" into the "volcano". You CANNOT complete
the game unless you have found his bones on level 8 (Garamon was the
brother of Tyball, and one heck of a mage. You will find several
runestones (one is "Vas") and a magic ring by the right bones). The bones
must be buried in the grave in the tombs on level 5 ("use" the bones on
the gravestone). After the ghost appears, you must answer the questions
correctly. Another way to tell if you have the right set of bones is to
try to stack them on top of another set of bones in your inventory. Like
coins, bones will stack,.. leaving one "bones" icon with a number next to
it to indicate how many are stacked. Garamon's bones will not stack this
way.
Talismans:

Taper of Sacrifice
Level 3, trade with Zak (food)

Sword of Justice
Level 3, Blade is in secret room. Lever to operate is be- hind a
vine-covered wall in the extreme SE corner (Note: you must attempt to
"pick up" the vines to reveal the secret door, just "looking" won't work).
Level 5, Hilt is in the tombs area, accesible from either the Bullfrog
area of Level 4, or a secret door on Level 5. Level 2, Shak will make the
repairs for 20 coins.

Cup of Wonder
Level 3, room where Gazer is (that you have to swim to). Stand on the
little pedastal in the corner and play your flute. The flute tune is
taught by Eyesnack on level 5. The clues to the three-part mantra (and use
of incense) are taught by Fyrgen and Louvnon on level 6.

Standard of Honor
Level 4, from Dorna Ironfist, after slaying the Chaos Knight (aka Sir
Roderick).

Ring of Humility
Level 5, room in NW quadrant with levers. Throw levers in following order:
NW SE NE SW. Stay away from the center of the room when doing this. After
last lever is thrown, ring will be on the central pedastal. This is told
by Derek on level 4 after you give him the Gem-cutter you got from
Goldthirst on level 2 after you slew the Gazer in the mine.

Shield of Valor
Level 6, after defeating the Golem

Wine of Compassion
Level 6, in checkerboard room with 2 headlesses (NW quad- rant of level 6,
off room with dozens of worms). Wine is hidden under a floor tile in the
SE corner. Try to "pick up" or "use" the tile. Told by dr. Owl on level 6
after freeing his servant Murgo from the lizardmen on level 3.

Book of Honesty
Level 6, is in the key behind the hourglass. There is an hour-glass shaped
room (NW quadrant of level 6) with a secret door at the end of it. Go
through the door and jump across the chasm to get to a key-shaped room.
Told by Morlock on level 6 after you deliver the book from Bronus on level
6.

Key of Love
Level 5, from Judy after giving her the Picture of Tom

Key of Truth
Level 6, after chanting "fanlo" at a shrine. Found in the title of a book
in the Library on Level 6, after talking to Illomo (level 6) after finding
Gurstang (level 7) after talking to Illomo the first time.

Key of Courage
Level 3, NW corner (NW area accessible only from level 7)

Key of Infinity (tri-partite key)
made by assembling the above three pieces. Just drop them on top of each
other in your inventory, and they will bind.
Lizard Language

Assorted Notes:


* There are fountains of healing only on levels 1, 2, and 3
* There is one shrine on every level (except level 3 which has three,
and level 4 which has two)
* Mandolins appear to be completely useless.
* Pieces of wood can be used to improvise a torch,.. just douse it with
oil.
* Spikes are for pinning doors shut. Once a door is spiked, only you can
open it.
* You cannot defeat Level 7 without making a few trips down to Level 8
* You cannot kill the "Slasher of Veils", no matter which side of the
moongate you both happen to be on. (Even with Attack/Defense/and Sword
ratings of 250+) (don't ask). You can get him to the "yellow" state, but
not beyond.
* When you and the demon are sucked through the moongate, you must run
down one of the three paths (red, green, blue) that go off the central
area. That is all you can do. The Orb you found on Level 1 tells you
which path to take.
* Maximum skill ratings depend upon the character-type selected
(Example: Fighters can only go to 25 in Mana/Lore/Casting rating, while
Druids can go to 30)
* Maximum Mana capacity also depends upon the type of character created.
Druids and Mages rate very high.
Trick to get past all the Fire Elementals in the Chasm of Fire on level 7:
When you come up from the NE part of level 8, you will find a Golem and a
Key. There is a secret door leading to the Chasm of Fire. Open the door and
familiarize yourself with the route from the door to level 8 and the Chasm.
Go back down to level 8 and kill some time while your Mana re-charges. When
you are up to about 25 Mana points, fire up two "Sanct Flam" spells and
cruise up to level 7 and the Chasm. The Fire Elementals will cease to be a
problem.

Trick to the prison area of level 7: Kill all of the guards ("medallion, I
don't need no steenking medallion!"). The head guard has a key which will
open all of the low-security prison cells,.. and all of the portcullises in
the prison area, ... and all of the portcullises in the other guard areas of
level 7. Real handy. The alternative is unpleasant.

There are at least 8 magic rings

There are at least 15 magic wands

Lots of goodies are hidden under bones, debris, etc. If you see a pile of
debris (of the variety that you can't pick up), look to make sure that every
pixel is in its proper place. If not, carefully click on the offending
pixel.

Go swimming in the rivers in the mines of Level 2. Look carefully at any
sewer pipes that you find. (he he he) (don't worry, it's not fatal).

It is generally a bad idea to kill anyone who is not actively trying to kill
you This is for 2 reasons

1. You may have needed to talk to them some more.
2. Killing good guys gives you negligible exprience points and in some
cases even REDUCES your experience points!
There are more than enough hostile critters around to get you max.
experience.

There are a maximum of 16 experience levels. After the 16th level, that's
it.

There are a maximum of around 9600 experience points. After that the number
will not increase. (Examples: 9646, 9714, 9688, etc.)

There are 5 secret doors in the tombs of Level 7.

There are 3 secret doors in the Maze of Silas on Level 4.

On levels 3, 4, 5, and 6, there are areas in the extreme NW corner that you
cannot get to other than through the door on level 7. This door cannot be
opened until you have defeated Tyball (i.e. finished all of level 7), and
freed the prisoners in the high-security cells.

Talk to the knights on Level 4 repeatedly. They know lots of mantras you can
use to increase your fighting and weapons skills. They do not neccessarily
tell you these the first time that you talk to them.

Using the Detail setting from the menu can really help if you have a slow
machine. Cranking the detail down allows much faster/smoother motion.
Settings are as follows:

* Very High - full detail
* High - no detail on ceilings
* Medium - no detail on ceilings or floors
* Low - no detail on ceilings, floors, or walls
For critical jumps, it is very handy to crank the detail to LOW, make the
jump, and then crank it back up. Especially on slow machines.

To make Rotworm Stew:

* Get the recipe from the green goblin Lanugo on level 1.
* Don't lose that recipe!
* Assemble the correct ingredients in a bowl
* Then "use" the recipe
* You will see the icon for the bowl change if succesful
* There are more bowls/ingredients on lower levels

Moonstone
Once you have the ability to cast a Gate Travel spell (via scroll or
runestones) fire one up. This will teleport you to the moonstone area on
Level 2. There is a secret wall to get out of this area. Pick up the
moonstone and put it down where ever you want. Further Gate Travel spells
will teleport you to the stone.

Tombs on level 7
You need to get the Crystal Splinter from Kallistan (in the prison cells).
Then leave the prison area through the main gate and head south, until you
can't go south any more. There is a secret wall (not a door) that will
shatter when you run into it. This will not happen unless you have the
Crystal Splinter in your possesion, and there is no other way to get into
the tombs. There are 5 secret doors in the tombs area. Three of these are
located at gravesites that do not have headstones. The other two lead back
out into the main areas of level 7. These two are one-way-only secret
doors. They can be opened only from the tombs area.

Silver Sapling:
When you "pick up" the Silver Sapling on level 1, it turns into a seed.
Find some "dirt" floors, and re-plant the seed. The Sapling will re-grow.
This allows you to be re-incarnated if you die. Upon death, you will find
yourself alive once more, at the location of the Sapling. The seed needs
to be planted only once. Re-incarnations seem to be infinite. You can move
the Sapling to a more convenient place by picking it up and re-planting
(if you wish).
Rawstag will only open the door if you give him a red gem (any
type/condition)

To free the prisoner (Murgo) from the Lizardmen, give Ssetharee lots of food
(I used 10 fresh fish that I caught with my fishing pole).

Give the giant gold nugget to Goldthirst. He will be really impressed.

To raid the Goblin treasuries on Level 1:

Grey goblins
Throw up a couple of shield spells and just walk in. The guard will
immediately attack, so be quick. DO NOT counter-attack. If you attack any
one of the goblins, the rest will all come running to his aid (and you
will be up against 7 at once). Once you have all of the goodies, leave the
goblins' area. If you return later, only the guard will be upset.
Green goblins
Don't let anyone see you. Push the guard into the next room and "spike"
the door closed. Then wait until nobody else is looking. Open the door and
close it behind you, as you will be in the treasure room for a while.
Again, if attacked, DO NOT counter attack.
To use incense: Wave a torch or candle over the block of incense. If done
right, the block will change appearance to show that it is lit. Now "use"
(left click) the block, and you will see a vision. Each vision gives you 2
letters of the 6- letter mantra. Once you have used incense 3 times, you
will have all 6 letters. The pairs must now be re-arranged to get a workable
mantra that you can chant at a shrine (3 pairs of letters, three positions =
6 possible combinations).

There is NO TIME LIMIT to complete the game. You can take as long as you
want.

Weapons come in the following calibers: (from worst to best)

* Swords - dagger / short sword / long sword / broad sword
* Maces - cudgel / light mace / mace
* Axes - hand axe / axe / battle axe
* Missiles - sling / bow / crossbow
* Shields - buckler / small shield / wooden shield / tower shield
* Armor - leather / mail / plate
Weapons/Armor/etc come in the following grades: (from worst to best)

* badly worn
* worn
* servicable
* excellent
Runestones:
Numbers indicate the levels upon which they may be found. There may be more
than one of the same kind of runestone on a level (as for the "AN" stone), a
"*" by the level number means that you have to get it from someone (usually
by going off on some weird quest).

never figured out what it does. (It doesn't have anything to do with the
secret door nearby).
* Somewhere it is written that there is a secret way to Level 4. I never
found it.
Level 4:

* There is a pull-chain outside the entrance to the Knights area in the
SW quadrant that didn't seem to do anything.
* There is a Grey Lizardman running around, who claims that his leader
is Iss'leek This is strange, because Iss'leek is the leader of the RED
Lizardmen (Ishtass is the Grey leader). What is this lizardman doing on
Level 4, and what do I say to him?
BUGS

Unfortunately, there are several:
PROBLEM:

Can't talk to anyone below level 1:
This seems to occur only when someone has the Demo of Underworld, and then
loads the real game into the same directory. Solution: backup your "SAVEx"
files, delete everything, re-install, restore "SAVEx" files.
Inventory corruption.
There is a patch available to "solve" this problem from Orirgin (and
available from some FTP sites). It seems to help (but not entirely
eliminate the problem). There has been some mention that reducing the
number of items in a container (pack, box, whatever) seems to help. There
has also been mention that nesting containers (i.e. an item in a box, in a
bag, in a pack) should be discouraged.
Game crashes when entering the NW corner areas (accessible only from level
7).
Solution: try dropping some items. Take only the barest essentials. Also,
if trapped in this area, you may be able to teleport out using a "Gate
Travel" spell.
Screen very dark.
There is a file called "shades.dat" in the UW directory. Rename it to
something else (like "shadez.dat") and delete "shades.dat". This should
brighten things up a bit. NOTE: I have not tried this personally, so I can
make no guarantees.
