possessions, then kill him.
Visit  the two inns to  recruit four characters (preferable :
Eliandr,  Zeloran, Fandhir and  any warrior). Buy  a sword, a
bow  and some arrows from the armourer and some food from the
shopkeeper  so you  can recover your  physical strength after
fights.
Go  to the harbour (S-SW), and force a passage: take prisoner
and  hand over to  the village chief who  then tells you what
your mission is. Return to the starting point. Kill the three
thieves,  find the  woman, and pick  up the  pendant. If your
strength  is a  bit low,  eat some  food, then  return to the
village to recruit and to buy helmets and shields.
Go  as far east into the forest  as you can, then go north to
pick  up the  black and  white mushrooms.  Go to  the extreme
north,  pick up the  dandelions, then fight  the wasps. Enter
the forest clearing on the south side, and kill the orcs. For

to the harbour, select the town landing-stage.

ZACH's ISLAND
Tip:  When you travel trough the  town, write down every shop
you  encounter and all the prices  for every armour, helmets,
weapons, shields...  Don't buy anything.  When you've got the
whole  city on  paper, and  enough money,  then buy  the most
expensive  helm,  shield, weapon,  armour... for everybody of
your team.  So you avoid wasting your money when you discover
a better item than the previous shop got for you.
Tip:  After fighting, always share the money that you pickup,
between your team members. Each member will be happy!

Go  right  through the  town to  the  library at  the extreme
northeast.  Pick up the fortress  parchment, and kill as many
enemies  as possible (to gain money and experience). Buy food
and  recruit if necessary. Eat  and sleep to recover strength.
return to the harbour towards the fortress.

passage,  continue east, then go south. In the large room, go
to  the extreme south-east,  then south, east,  and then into
the  corridor to the  north. Activate the  two handles on the

Buy  fighting  gear, arrows  and  as much  food  as possible,
because big scraps are coming. Buy two monk's habits and five
fur coats from the clothes shop (not far from the harbour, in
the road leading to a small square to the north).
Go  to the library, examine the parchment on potions, then go
west  to  the bank.  Enter the  street, and  kill all  of the
guards  in one  go(!) using the  arrows and  spells. Take the
door  opposite,  pick  up(steal!!)  100,000  po.  and deposit
10,000 of them in the bank on the opposite.
Go  shopping: buy a  magpie, a monkey, an  eagle and a parrot
from  the pet  shop on  the extreme  south-east of  the town.
Opposite  is a super-armourer  if you got  the money... Go to
the  south,  then buy  five ropes  from the  shopkeeper. Move
west,  buy potions for the "troublesome priest" HUMBOLG spell
and  "ent reviver" JABLOU spell. Continue to the west, and at
the  next three  crossroads go  north, then  west, then first
east.  Kill the giant guard, which  is a difficult task, then

you  are  thrown in  prison. Release  the magpie  through the
bars,  pick up the key and open  the cell. Put on five monk's
habits.  In the  fortress enter the  passage between midnight
and 4am., pass the monk, and enter the sacrifice.
Recover  the prison key from the  monk's belt, then leave the
passage  again.  Find the  invisible wall  (where one  of the
characters  should notice a draught)  and cross it. Leave the
prison,  fight with the guards. For the next step you need at
least  10.000po. and an  iron shield, if  you have them, take
the boat for the island where you originally started (IRVAN)

west  end.  Pick up  the relic  at the  foot of  the standing
stone.  When Golem wakes up, kill him - remember though, most
spells  won't work on him - then turn round and fight Golem a
second  time. Return  to the  harbour. Select  the mountains,

(not  essential). In the maze fight against the orcs, pick up
arms  and treasures, then to the  north pick a fight with the
dragon.  To kill the  dragon, use the  same principle as with

the dragon.

mummies and the witch. Take the passage to the south, then to
the  east. There's a  mechanism to be  activated in the small

take  the  north access  in  the previous  corridor.  Put the
parrot in front of the ear and the passage opens. In the next
room,  slalom otherwise you bash your  head, then in the next
room  move  along the  edges.  Prepare psychic  shelter, then
fight  against Shandar in the north access. Kill him, go back
