Damocles: Mercenary II (Novagen Software Ltd.)
Last modified on April 5th, 2005
On Midas reference "577-341" you can find a pyramid which contains a magic crystal. To use it, you'll need the book from the trader at Eris Capital City ("13-5"). Reading the book while in possession of the crystal will allow one wish to be granted. You may like to try some of the following wishes:
- "I WISH I HAD A CHEESE SANDWICH"
- "I WISH I HAD MORE TIME"
- "I WISH I COULD RECEIVE 1,000,000 CREDITS"
- "I WISH THE UNIVERSE WAS MORE COLOURFUL"
- "I WISH I KNOW HOW TO USE AUTHOR'S COMPUTER"
- "I WISH I HAD MERCENARY 3 NOW"
Five Ways to Win
- Find all eight explosives and the timed detonator. Go to Damocles. Drop seven explosives and set the eighth to detonate. Depart posthaste and collect the reward of $10,000,000. Note that you can bargain with the State President to get here to raise the reward up to $25,000,000 by turning down her first offers.
- Ditto, but blow up Icarus instead before Damocles passes it. Without Icarus's gravitational pull, Damocles' course is altered so it misses Eris by a good margin. Collect $10,000,000 from the State President and $25,000,000 from Lloyds' for solving the problem without destroying Damocles.
- Using the Nova Bomb instead of explosives, repeat #1 or #2 above.
- Use the Magic Wishing Crystal on Midas and wish that Eris (or both Eris and Damocles) would be saved (the "Wishes Solution")
.
- Using the Author's Computer, blow up Damocles (planet #29).
