If you have low hit points, watch out for Slasher Boars. Also, steer clear of swamps and mountains, as they contain the toughest of monsters (Hurlers, Ice Urchins, Spikers, etc.). Grub Snufflers are the best monsters to meet because they have a much greater profit ratio (i.e hit points to gold carried).
The game is finished in the Dungeon of Despair in the realm of sorcerers. You must have about 10,000 hit points and many spells to finish it. An absolute necessity is the "Scroll of Scalna", which can be found in the other dungeon in the realm. The Scroll is a magical map, and it automatically maps your path.
Watch out in the dungeons, and constantly check ahead of you with the "Xamine" command at the bottom of the list of commands, as bear traps or spikes whip up and destroy your armor, or do up to 4,000 hit points damage.
Some weapons are better than others for killing certain monsters. Here's a table indicating which weapon is best against some of the different monsters.
| Monster | Weapon of Choice | Monster | Weapon of Choice | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Giant Cockroach | Fauchard | Spiker | Staff | |
| Mutant Carps | Cudgel | Spincers | Rapier | |
| Ramdarts | Bow and Arrow | Tanglers | Dagger | |
| Slasher Boars | Spear | Wave Slappers | Rapier |
Make sure that you have plenty of food before descending into any dungeons or tombs, as you may get lost and run out of food. Doing so will cause you to starve to death.
Some magic items can help you in your quest (e.g. if you Use the wand of power, you gain 200 hit points, and if you Use the moonstone amulet, you gain 100 units of food.
You begin outside of Folman. Go to Redstone Castle and then go to the Hall of Visions. Use the gold key to enter. Speak. GO UP a LEVEL.
You need cash, so go to Lyton and gamble until you have about 400 in gold. Now go to Seacrest and buy a hatchet and sell your dagger in the weaponry shop. Also buy hit points and gamble to get as much gold as possible.
Go to Octapoint and buy ring mail and sell your rawhide at the armor shop. Buy a rope and some hooks at the travel shop and buy as many spells as possible at the spell shop.
Fight some monsters outside of Lyton to get more gold. Now enter Lyton and gamble to get as much gold as you possibly can. Also buy hit points.
Return to Octapoint and buy as many spells as possible. Go to the spell shop and buy magic missiles and fireballs. You need thirty of each at a minimum.
Go to the Rivercrest Cathedral and loot the chest (not the one next to the priest). Kill the first two guards who attack you. Enter the tomb and get the moonstone amulet. Get the brass key from Morle, then exit the tomb.
Return to the area outside of Rivercrest Cathedral and fight monsters to get gold. Enter Rivercrest cathedral and buy the bread of life. Optionally you can go to Lyton and gamble to get more gold.
Next head for Redstone Castle because you're going to raid it. Note that in order to raid Redstone Castle, you must have at least 150 units of food, the moonstone amulet, and total hit points (i.e. hit points plus the bread of life) of about 600). Steal all of the treasure and kill all of the guards. After you've finished raiding the castle, you should have the following items in your inventory:
Return to Rivercrest Cathedral and enter the tomb. You must have at least 250 units of food and total hit points of about 500 in order to do so. Go to the emerald door and use the emerald key to enter. Get the Wand of Power, then exit the tomb.
