If you exchange items inside an inn, they will be lost forever. Instead, do all your exchanging outside. If you are exchanging one or more items with a character who is not in your party permanently, include him or her in your party and leave the inn. Then perform the exchange and re-enter the inn.

When you find the brother Zeta (of Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta) in the Arachnoid Cavern, he's supposed to give you the name of his missing brother: Epsilon and to reveal the date (day 99) when the Shell of Serenity can be retrieved. Due to a known bug in the program, he won't tell you anything.

• Beacon - VERY important spell. Casting it, places a marker in the current location. Casting it a second time, you can return to that location, or set a new one. Note that not all places allow you to cast this spell.
• Etherealise - a very good spell. Allows you to walk through doors and traps. Good for avoiding those traps that are placed around the corner or just behind a door. For traps around the corner, cast etherealise, then side step to move away from the trap. In a dungeon, don't bash down all the doors. Cast etherealise to get through a door, and the monsters won't be able to follow you. Heal your party and go back for the monster(s). Great way to take cover.
• Implosion - does 1000++ points damage to a single enemy. Works best against those tougher opponents.
• Jump - lets you skip the single square just in front of your party. Use it to avoid those swinging blades, pits, etc.
• Recharge item - another great spell. Find some items that cast some spells you wanted a lot but don't have enough spell points to cast (e.g. a medal of implosion, walk on water, etc.).
• Teleport - a much better spell than jump, allows you to move up to nine squares ahead. Works in both dungeon and wilderness.
• Town portal - a very useful spell. It allows you to go back to any one of the five towns.
• Walk on water - allows you to travel on water for a day. Only a druid or ranger can cast this spell.
• Wizard eye - great spell to have, good for exploring.

You'll quite often need to travel to locations that are quite far away. Knowing how to save time is very important, especially when you want to keep the temporary effects of the fountain (i.e. you must be able to go anywhere from any place and complete your mission within a single day).

Each town has a mirror that can teleport you when you say the right word. By using the mirror, you can always go to a town or place that's near your destination. Once reaching it, you can either walk or teleport to your destination.

Enter "DOE MEISTER" to be transported to a Secret Room in Dragon Cavern. The room contains a vast and secret hoard of gold which belonged to long dead dragons. Use Lloyd's Beacon or Mr. Wizard to leave the secret room, or perish in an eternal trap.

Enter "ORB MEISTER" to enter the twisting passages beneath the pyramids, where you can obtain a King's Ultimate Power Orb. Grateful kings offer much experience for the return of such orbs.

Enter "BLASTOFF" to view the award winning End Game sequence, after which you may restart the game and continue your adventures throughout the Isles of Terra.

If your level is low, get a temporary increase to your statistics, and then try again. Donate to a temple to be blessed. The number of times you must donate is relative to the current day. The amount of blessing you receive, is also proportional to the amount you donate.

There are many fountains that increase your statistics temporary. Once you have found them, note down their locations, because you'll need to visit them often when you aren't strong enough. Leave a beacon at the place where all the tough guys were, then visit temples, fountains, etc. Once you think you are strong enough, cast the beacon spell again to go back to those guys. See the part on travel to shorten your time needed when you intend to visit many fountains.

The total strength of your first two characters is used to determine success or failure in bashing down a door. So, try to let them have the strength increases whenever possible.

Tired of paying hard-earned money to have your items identified? Frustrated with forgetting exactly what's so special about a Pearl Ring? Well, here's a partial list of items. The original list was Copyright (c) 1991 by Andrew C. Hatchell.

To use the list, look up the basic item in the first list, then refer to the second list of modifiers. Classes of KPACSTNBDR refer to Knights, Paladins, Archers, Clerics, Sorcerers, etc., respectively. Damage and to hit modifiers apply only to weapons, and the modifiers in the AC column only apply to armor. Modifiers in the resistances/attribute modifiers column apply to both weapons and armor (thus an Armored weapon gives +4 AC). "?"'s indicate unknown quantities (in other words, the original author hadn't found a flaming weapon or diamond armor). This list should have everything a beginning party is likely to find.

There are a total of thirty one UPO's in the game. You'll need to give eleven UPO's to one of the kings. It's doesn't matter who you give them to. But bear this in mind, if you give eleven UPO's to the Good, all party members change their alignment to GOOD, and the other two castles are destroyed. Approach the kings carefully as you don't give them ONE UPO at a time, but rather the king takes all you are carrying (e.g. don't bring five UPOs with you, if you only intend to give one away). Upon giving eleven UPO's to any one of the kings, you'll be allowed to walk past the force field to reach the end of the game. A message saying "Only the worthy shall pass" is at the entrance of that door.
