From the start go West and then North. It is best if you avoid the fight at this point. You will see a pump-handle, play with it for a while if you like. Recruit Kudsac, pick up his possessions and then kill him.
Your next task is to visit the two inns to recruit four characters (choose one scolar, Eliandr, one magician, Zeloran, one archer, Fandhir, and a warrior of your choice). Buy a sword, a bow and some arrows from the armourer and food from the shopkeeper to recover physical strength after fights.
Next go to the harbour (S-SW) and force a passage. You will be captured and handed over to the village chief who will tell you of your mission. Return to the starting point and then go South and then East. Kill the three thieves and find the dead woman, pick up the pendant and eat if necessary. Return to the village to recruit and buy helmets and shields.
Go to the extreme East and into the forest, then go North to pick the black and white mushrooms, then the dandelions which are surrounded by stones in the extreme North. Fight the wasps and enter the forest clearing on the South side. Kill the orcs and the chief orc using arrows as much as possible, then pick up the necklace.
Return to the village and hand the necklace to the chief to recover the boat. Eat, sleep, buy arrows, arms and food. Go to the harbour and select the town landing-stage.
Go right through the town to the library at the extreme North East and pick up the fortress parchment. Kill as many enemies as possible to gain money and experience. Buy arms, helmets and food. Recruit if necessary, eat and sleep to recover psychic strength and return to the harbour in the direction of the fortress.
Follow the wall on the right and try to keep moving East at all times. You will come across many skeletons to fight. There is a passage to the South. There you should pick up the treasure in the cul-de-sac at the South end and the skull in the cul-de-sac to the East. Leave the passage again and continue East and then South. In the large room take the extreme South East, then South, East, and corridor to the North to activate two handles - one on the right hand wall and one on the left hand wall.
Continue due North into the passage and follow the corridor into the large room. Activate the handle on the wall to the North and leave the passage again, take the extreme South East, follow the corridor and pick up a skull in the cul-de-sac. Re-enter the corridor with handles and walk around the West wall. On the other side, enter the room, pick up the treasure, skull and arms. Return to the landing stage and then to the town.
Buy fighting gear, arrows and as much food as possible because big fights are just around the corner. Buy two monk's habits and five fur coats from the clothes shop (not far from the harbour, in a road leading to a little square to the North). Go to the library and examine a parchment on potions. Go to the bank (West of library), enter the street with the guards and kill all of the guards in one go (you can't make a return trip), using arrows and spells. Take the door opposite and pick up the 100,000 po. Deposit 10,000 in the bank (on the other side).
Go shopping: buy a magpie, a monkey, an eagle and a parrot from the pet shop (extreme South East of the town). Opposite is an armourer. Depending on your budget, buy arms, helmets and shields. Go down to the South, after the bend and buy five ropes from the shopkeeper. Move West, buy potions for the troublesome priest (Humbolg) and ent reviver (Jablou).
Continue to the West and you will come to three crossroads. North, then West, then first East. Kill the guard, then if necessary, regain strength because there are more difficult fights to come.
Enter the Blue Velvet nightclub (only open at night) and you will get thrown in prison. Release the magpie through the bars and pick up the key. Open the cell and put on five monk's habits. In the fortress take the passage (open between midnight and 4am). Pass the monk and enter the sacrifice. Recover the prison key from the monk's belt and leave the passage again. Find the invisible wall and cross it (where one of the characters notices a draught). Leave the prison and you will have to fight with the guards. Return to the harbour where you will need at least 10,000 po and an iron shield. Take the boat for the island where you started.
Go extreme East. Follow the East coast and find a magician. Give him 10,000 po, then send out the eagle to pick up the mountain parchment. Return to the extreme West, along the coast, find the standing stones and continue to the West end. Pick up the relic at the foot of the standing stone and Golem will wake up. Kill him (most spells will have no effect). Turn round and fight Golem a second time.
Return to the harbour. In the direction of the mountains, take the landing stage to the South.
In the mountains you must put on the fur coats (take off armour) and attach the ropes to avoid falling. Move East and pick up the cauldren in the snow. Set off again in the opposite direction following the mountain road along the precipice. Go into the mountains and find a rhinoceros. Kill it and take its horn.
Return to the landing stage, select mountains, landing stage to the North West. If necessary make a return trip to the town for repairs. On leaving the harbour, travel East. Follow the coast then take the passage to the West where you will get involved in a fight with two giants. Pick up the living sword in a mountain hollow and leave the passage again. Continue Northwards and at the end you will find a priest in cul-de-sac. Prepare the Humbolg potion and give it to him, then pick up the tree island parchment.
Return to the harbour, select the tree island and if necessary make a return trip to the town for repairs.
Put on the pendant recovered from the dead woman and take the crossroads to the left, then to the North and second on the right. At the end find an ent. Prepare the Jablou potion and give it to him to drink, then pick up the pendant. Go down to the South again, then to the West and enter the village. Visit the huts: two open huts give various information. Return to the harbour and take the extreme East. Here you will have to fight some Ewoks. At the end pick up the relic and return towards the harbour. Take North, East, North, East and follow the road. At the end is a stone druid, place the horn on it and it will wake up. Next give it the iron shield and pick up the magic shield (protects against fire). Turn round. At the crossing go North then East and first North. Fight with the monster and take first West.
Negotiate the labyrinth, avoiding false trails and aggressive eagles to arrive close to the dead woman at the end to the West.
Collect the key to the Town Hall from around her neck and return to the harbour. Oh, by the way, you'd better hurry!
Go to the Town Hall (extreme North West). Enter the town hall and pick up the idol. Go to the Temple (West of the bank) and give the idol back to the monk, now pick up the Air Elemental Pendant. Go on to the bank and draw out some money. Buy arms and food, then eat and sleep. Keep 7100 po, then return to the harbour and go to the fortress.
Follow the left hand wall, always moving North as far as the passage. In the circular corridor take the invisible wall to the North. Follow the corridors and enter the flooded area. In the maze keep taking the corridors to the North until you leave the catacombs.

Return to the North and take the access to the East. Stop in front of the wall and take the invisible wall to the South. Pick up the treasure and the skull and return to your initial position in front of the wall. Cross the invisible wall still oving East. If blocked take a side-step to the South then continue East. Enter the prisons (you can find other treasures if you pass other invisible walls at the end of the maze). Follow the corridor to the East and kill the lion guard. At the Eastern end, click the prison key in the lock: all cells will open.
Turn round. In the first cell to the right you find treasures behind an invisible wall. In one of the cells is a blind girl. You must recruit her, so you must dismiss one of the characters (archer or warrior). In the second cell to the South, starting from the West, is a secret passage through an invisible wall.
Follow the corridor and enter a vast room. Beware, this area is cursed and some characters will be inverted. To un-invert them you must cast the curse lifting spell.

At the next crossroads go West (not essential), there is a maze where you will fight with orcs and pick up arms and treasures, to the North is a fight with a dragon. To kill the dragon use the same method as your fight with the Fire Elemental. The protection spell must always be validated, otherwise you've had it. Use the healing spell as often as necessary. The dragon is so more-ish, you can have several goes at killing it.
Continue North and pick up treasures in the crannies. At the next crossroads go North. There is a secret passage in the North wall. Continue. You will fight wizards and skeletons. You then come across a maze with invisible walls. At the end, activate the handle. Return to the crossroads and go down to the South.
