HELP! for BARBARIAN
8/11/87: Stayed up all night and finally got through this baby. By far
the greatest graphic adventure to hit the ST.
Unfortunately, SKILL is a major part of this game and makes a
clear-cut solution impossible to document. That's good in a way because I
don't want to ruin the fun. Start by following these basic guidelines:
1. Throw ye old joystick on a pyre for this game. Use it and forget
it!
2. <G>et stuff without stopping (in case you are walking or running),
and ALWAYS use the keyboard <G> command, so you don't waste time
shuffling between menus (lots can happen in that time).
3. You must ATTACK to KILL in this game, so in this document, "attack"
and "kill" mean the same thing.
4. I've found it useful to use the keyboard and the mouse in many
instances. ATTACK refers to use of the icon--<A>ttack refers to use
of the keyboard.
The screens aren't numbered, so in order to follow this
document, so try to pay close attention to how many screens you've
completed. (I tried to make it as simple as possible)
Here's those hints:
Screen 1: WALK right--don't even try to do the game backwards. You die if
you walk left.
Screen 2: STOP about 1/3 into the screen. ATTACK when the monster's next
jump will surely hit you.
Screen 3: WALK up the stairs and JUMP immediately after you 1st see
yourself emerging from behind the pillar (or whatever that is you
walk behind)
Screen 4: STOP and ATTACK without mercy. You should be able to kill it in 2
swings. WALK to screen 5.
Screen 5: I usually go DOWN the ladder here and let that hooded monster live
all that violence makes me nauseous). If you live for adventure
and wish to <G>et the arrow on the right of the screen, wait at
the very left of the screen until the rockthrower throws his first
rock. ATTACK the hooded monster and <G>et that arrow.(That guy
make some wild soundz!)
Screen 6: WALK down the stairs and take ONE (1) step on the GROUND (no more
and no less). ATTACK the beast with one swing.
Screen 7: RUN and then JUMP when you reach the 5th or 6th pair of planks on
the bridge.
Screen 8: STOP just on the other side of the 1st pillar. Start ATTACKing as
fast and furiously as you can, until you kill your adversary.
What's that junk on the ground? Walk DOWN the stairs, then a few
steps towards the ladder. STOP, then turn and start WALKing
right. Stop when you see something jump up and go down, trying
to eat you on its way. Its safe after he disappears. Go <G>et
that arrow!
Screen 9: Press LEFT icon as you go down the ladder and be sure to run into
the wall. When you've stopped (just by the ladder), turn RIGHT,
RUN, and JUMP. Press JUMP before you see yourself take the first
step here. You probably already know what happens if you don't.
Now be sure to go DOWN the steps before you fall off the left
ledge. That wimp on the ground level is easy to kill.
Screen10: RUN, and go up the stairs to get the two arrows. If you don't RUN,
then say hello to an arrow thru your ankles.
Screen11: Just walk right up to your adversary and ATTACK him (without
stopping first). <G>rab the two arrows, turn LEFT, and walk back
down to screen 10.
Screen10: If you chose not to go for the arrows, (believe me, you'll need
'em) RUN and JUMP when you see the little man shoot his arrow from
a trap door on the ground. ATTACKing your adversary should be no
problem. RUN off the screen. If you took the arrows, your
adversary will be waiting for you when you reach ground level.
Just turn RIGHT and ATTACK until he's dead. It's pretty simple to
finish him off, just don't walk past him.
Screen11: Just RUN. There's no traps here. get ready to go straight DOWN
on the next screen.
Screen12: Go down the ladder. There's The Evil One. Since he gave me
access to his BARBARIAN file, I usually let him live.
Screen13: Go DOWN (you've got no choice).
Screen14: RUN LEFT off the ladder. Farewell if you don't.
Screen15: This guy's no problem. ATTACK him whenever you want to. RUN, to
save time
Screen16: Go DOWN the stairs immediately. NO, YOU CANNOT KILL THE TIN MAN
AND GET THE BOW, SO DON'T EVEN TRY. There's another bow you'll be
able to get pretty soon. After you reach the ground, turn RIGHT
and <G>et the arrow. Turn LEFT and RUN to screen 17.
Screen17: RUN to and go DOWN th ladder and while you're descending, give the
tin man the pink enema!!
Screen18: Go LEFT to screen 19, and while RUNning, JUMP as you reach the
fifth division (look from the ceiling) from the left of the
screen. Run or WALK under the third division and get squashed!
Screen20: WALK until your man is between the 1st and 2nd pillars. STOP, but
the minute you see the rhino monster move from his rest, <A>ttack
(use the keyboard here, not the icon). <G>et those arrows!! RUN
back through screen 19, avoiding the trap in the same manner as
before (jump at about the 2nd division from the left of the
screen).
Screen17: Your back where you stared from. Keep RUNning. Those striped
monsters go through humans like they were floppy disks, but thier
easy to jump. You can ALWAYS jump these guys by RUNning toward
them, and JUMPing just as their feet hit the ground after the 1st
jump. It always works.
Screen18: STOP when you are just above the attack icon at the bottom of the
screen. <A>ttack when Rover (that's the dog, of course) is in the
air during his first jump. I thin I've wasted more time on him
than the tin man.
Screen19: Go DOWN that ladder!
Screen21: Forget about the arrow! JUMP over that striped monster as
described in screen 17.
Screen22: RUN to the right of the screen, but STOP just short of entering
screen 23. ATTACK to screen 23.
Screen23: ATTACK 3 times. WHen your adversasry moves toward you, you will
notice that he stops and raises his sword. As he lowers it,
ATTACK him. WALK to screen 24.
Screen24: There's your prize! Thart's the bow you're gonna need, but it
won't be easy. Follow these steps quickly and carefully:
1. STOP immediately as you enter the screen (from screen 23)
2. JUMP to the platform
3. RUN to the bow
4. <G>et the bow
5. Turn LEFT, quick!!
6. <J>ump twice
Just make sure that you <G>et the bow, because once you've got it,
you'll be reincarnated with it if you die trying to leave the
crumbling platform (assuming, of course, you have some lives left
to come back with). Go back to screen 23, ATTACK your adversary
the same way you did the 1st time, RUN to screen 22, go DOWN the
ladder, and get ready to criss-cross your way from screen 25 to
27, ATTACKING 2 easy monsters on the way. TAKE MY ADVICE AND
CONSERVE AS MANY ARROWS AS POSSIBLE (ie: don't use them at all
until you get to the dragon).
Screen28: <G>et the arrow on the left, then <G>et the one on the right. WALK
RIGHT to screen 29.
Screen29: Here's a good place to exchange your weapon. Select your bowfrom
the weapons menu (choose center icon, then click the bow). You're
gonna need it for the next screen.
Screen30: <A>ttack TWICE with your bow. Immediately FLEE to outrun any
fireballs the dragdon has breathed. (don't flee past screen 29)
Screen31: After <G>etting all your stuff you left when you fled, RUN past
screen 31. There should be a ladder leading up, but don't use it.
Screen32: Immediately JUMP over the statue. <G>et that shield!!! It's the
most important, and the last weapon you'll pick up. Turn LEFT, RUN
toward the statue, but jump over it again before you reach it. If
you don't jump, it's FRIDAY THE 13th REVISITED, man!
Screen31: NOW, you go UP that ladder.
Screen32: No biggies here. <G>et that arrow and proceed upward.
Screen33: Another arrow to get. WATCH OUT if you decide to go right fresh
off the ladder. If you do, that junk on the top platform may try
to munch you again (you can't kill it). Go up the steps, to screen
34!
Screen34: The Caveman on the top level will approach you, and after he lowers
his hammer ATTACK him (remember, try to use your sword here in
order to conserve arrows). RUN, and JUMP over the gap separating
the two upper platforms.
Screen35: You don't need to place your lives in danger here. If you're
RUNning, then go straight UP the ladder.
Screen36: WALK LEFT.
Screen37: ATTACK adversary, then go UP ladder. WALK RIGHT, back to the upper
level of screen 36.
Screen36: ATTACK adversary. If you are not a good swordfighter, use arrows
to kill all these cavemen. You're gonna have to become a good
swordfighter in order to complete the entire quest, however. RUN
RIGHT.
Screen38: RUN past the ladder. DON'T WORRY ABOUT THOSE ARROWS DOWN THERE!
IT'S A TRAP!! JUMP when you get near the three markings on the
ceiling near the right end of the screen. I don't know what they
are, but I know what's bound to happen if I hang around to find
out.
Screen39: THE PENDULUM!! Watch out!!! Get as close as you can to its swing,
then immediately after it goes back up, RUN like there's no
tomorrow. Ive had the most luck waiting just underneath the third
line in the ceiling, then RUNning just after the pendulum
disappears.
Screen40: Go DOWN the ladder and ATTACK your adversary. Be careful to avoid
the trap by RUNning to him. He's usually pretty easy to deal
with.
Screen41: Go DOWN the ladder without stopping. Don't worry about the arrow
on the Right top of the screen--it's very heavily guarded. ATTACK
your adversary on the bottom, then go down the ladder, to screen
42.
Screen42: Go left, and <G>et the arrow, but don't get too far to the left,
because as usual, there's a trap (I'll leave it to you to find out
what it is). Go DOWN the ladder and ATTACK your adversary.
Sometimes he's fairly difficult to kill, so use the bow if you
need to.
Screen43: You're nearing 50% completion! Go DOWN the stairs. DON'T WASTE
YOUR TIME TRYING TO MAKE YOUR WAY THROUGH THE TOP, YOU'LL HAVE TO
GO DOWN TO FINISH THE GAME! ATTACK your adversary, and make sure
you get your bow out before screen 44!
Screen44: Wizard #1. Use an arrow to ATTACK him the minute you appear on
this screen. If you get too close, get out your sheild and try to
<D>efend yourself with it (he'll start hurling fireballs at you).
Screen45: Two more wizards here. Now you know why you needed those arrows!
Shoot 2 arrows in quick succession the minute you appear on the
screen(<A>). GET YOUR SHIELD OUT BEFORE YOU REACH SCREEN 46, AND
COVER THE <D>EFEND KEY ON YOUR KEYBOARD!
Screen46: WHERE'S THE CRYSTAL? You've got to kill this guy first! WALK
toward him and <D>efend yourself the minute he hurls his fireball
at you! Only his own fire can kill him (the fireball will bounce
off your shield and hit him, exposing the crystal). WALK to the
crystal and let the computer take over for a while.
Now the only task that lay before you is to ATTACK your way
back through the volcano, before it erupts. The same adversaries will
confront you, and all traps will be reset.
GOOD LUCK (you're gonna need it!)
