- Subj: Dungeon Master Bug
- From: Wayne Holder, FTL Games, San Diego
- Date: 1/15/87
-
- This memo describes three bugs in Dungeon Master which can happen near the
- end of the game. Not everyone will experience these bugs, and it is easily
- possible to complete the game with a bugged version. Unfortunately, it is
- necessary for us to give away a bit of the ending puzzle to describe the
- bug solutions. If this bug has detracted from your enjoyment of Dungeon
- Master, as president of FTL games please accept my sincere appology.
-
- In order to complete the game you must face Lord Chaos (The black robed
- figure found on the level with the Black Flames.) The bugs relate to him.
-
- Bug 1: You should not close a door while Chaos is standing in it. This can
- freeze the game. Chaos cannot be killed anyway, so this is not useful to do.
-
- Bug 2: Chaos can teleport to escape you, but sometimes he teleports into
- one of the Black Flames where he becomes invisible. If Chaos vanishes on
- this level, you should try "Fusing" the Flames to find him.
-
- Bug 3: In order to win the game you must "Fuse" Chaos. But, Chaos wants
- to escape from this fate. You use the "Fluxcage" power to trap him. Chaos
- is trapped when he is surrounded on all four sides by Fluxcages. However,
- ONCE YOU TRAP CHAOS YOU MUST NOT PUT A FIFTH FLUXCAGE ON TOP OF HIM. Doing
- so will prevent the game ending from working.
-
- We hope to have these bugs corrected shortly. Once again, please accept my
- sincere appology for this problem.
