Might and Magic 4 Submitted by: Dj Simo GENERAL TIPS ------------ Equip your crew with bows, as well as their main weapon. Click on the bow icon on the main screen when enemies are in sight (but not close enough to attack). This unleashes a volley of arrows from your party, and will wipe out lesser monsters before they get close enough to be a problem. It will also take the edge off some of the nastier critters. Don't sleep unless you absolutely have to (i.e. "Your Party need rest"). Your team will age rapidly otherwise, and their effectiveness will go down. Casting a lot of "Cure"-type spells is a necessary evil. To swap items: Fire up the weapons/armor list for the party member you wish to transfer the item out of. Click on that item to select it, it will change color. Then click on the picture of the party member that you wish to transfer the item to. The "Wizard Eye" spell is really handy. It shows secret areas that are otherwise impossible to find. Especially useful in dungeons. Enchant Item spell: This spell turns generic weapons/armor into better stuff. I.E. casting on a "sabre" could turn it into an "amber sabre" or a "poisonous sabre". This only works on items that do not already have any special qualities. You will need to use the "Levitate" spell to walk upon clouds without falling through. This is needed for the areas at the top of the various towers. The Levitate spell also lets you float over hidden pits in the dungeons. It won't save you from hidden elemental traps (ie. fire, gas, etc). You can use the jump spell to avoid those traps. NOTES: You will need to have at least 1 character with 100+ Might before entering the Northern Sphinx You will need to have at least 1 charater with 100+ Intelligence before entering the Dragon Lair Trick to Dragon Lair: walk backwards, slowly. Use "Teleport" spell to avoid Dragon Tax.

Your map will only show the areas where you have 'physically' walked through. The Wizard Eye spell will show ALL areas (only a small radius near your party) on the map. Food: 5 days worth at Vertigo tavern 20 days worth at Rivercity tavern Characters may get up to Level 20 (max.). There are 2 level bonuses, if you get them both AFTER level 20, you can get to Level 22. Vertigo - Train up to level 10 Rivercity - Train up to level 15 Newcastle - Train up to level 20 +1 Level bonuses in: Golem Dungeon, Shangri-La NEWCASTLE: You will need to buy this for 50,000 Three sets of improvments will have to be made Each improvement will cost 5 King's Megacredits Megacredits are found in the Temple of Yak, Tomb of 1000 Terrors, and Golem Dungeon Each improvement is made by the Master Builder in Castle Burlock The final improvement will require an Excavation Permit from the Royal Advisor in Castle Burlock (you will need to free Crodo from Darzog's Tower first) The first improvement fixes the main floor of the castle The second improvement adds a second floor, after which the locals immediately set up shop (Blacksmith, Trainer, Bank, and Temple) The third improvement finishes the dungeon, in which you will find the weapon you need to finish off Xeen, as well as a few "Potions of the Gods". NOTE: make sure that your troops are not max'ed out on Miscellaneous items. If there isn't enough room in your inventory, you will be throwing away your possible 4 Potions of the Gods. Golem Dungeon: 1) Wood Golems area - Flip all of the switches and use a "Teleport" spell to get out 2) Stone Golems area - push the buttons until 6 out of the 8 blocks are destroyed 3) Iron golems - flip the switches to create path to diamond golem area. "Teleport" works well here if you have trouble with the switches. Northern Sphinx: There are the following spells available here: Teleport, Item to Gold, Divine Intervention, Starburst There are also several thrones to sit in. If the correct Party members sit in them (Dwarf, Orc, Elf, Gnome, Human) you will get experience. Also, there is a special throne for Thieves (more experience). NOTE: One of your Party members will have to have a Might >= 100 to open the Sarcophagii. WARZONE: Go here to gain experience. You can take on assorted monsters and rapidly increase the experience levels of your party members. Be sure that you don't get any of them killed, as this causes permanent damage to their maximum-obtainable stats. It seems that each time one of your characters gets killed, all of their stats are reduced by 1. Drums in clouds above Tower of High Magic - Rumor has it that by beating on these drums, you can cause all of the Gems in the area to be replenished. This provides a method of getting more Gems (lots needed to complete the game), if you have already used up all the Gems otherwise available. I have NOT verified this! So don't take my word for it. King's Megacredits: 8 - Temple of Yak 8 - Tomb of 1000 Terrors 14 - Golem Dungeon Shangri-La is at the bottom level of the Volcano Cave.

ARMOR / WEAPONS NIGHTMARE ------------------------- Here begins the Mitch Aigner version of the incredibly complex weapons/armor system. It is followed by the Phil Rice version. -------------------------------------------------------------- In each version, you start with the "base" class for a weapon or armor, and then modify appropriately depending upon the Material or Magic modifier. There are literally THOUSANDS of possible combinations, making a comprehensive list unworkable. As a result, you will find a few blanks we were unable to fill in. Please send me any info that you may have that might shed some light on this otherwise cloudy and confusing picture. Phil and I each came up with a different way of organizing this nightmare of statistics. Pick whichever one works for you. Both systems contain pretty much the same info, just organized differently. Since Phil's lists were a compliation of several people's data, they were more complete than mine,... so I admit to stealing some of it to fill in the blanks in my system (sorry about that Phil). One last note: There are some unresolved discrepancies between the two lists. It seems that some of the Material/Magic modifiers don't always have the same values from game to game, item to item. We have yet to figure out why this is. So consider all values to be approximate. One last final note: No responsibility is assumed for any stress, insanity, or psychopathic behaviour caused by trying to understand this screwy weapons/armor system. All blame resides firmly with New World Computing.

Phil did it a little differently. I particularly like the method he came up with to classify Armor/Weapons by material. Take it away, Phil............. First of all, I would personally like to thank the following people for sending me their lists, corrections and input: James Zarbock James Reed Keith Bilafer Mitch Aigner I found that there is a lot of info, but it needs to be organized in a format that is easy to extract the info that you need. That is the part I have been working on a lot (not to mention all of the cross checking). With the weapons, I tried to come up with a ranking system that would be accurate. Example: SPEAR 1-9 CUTLASS 2-8 The spear does 1 pt of damage more than the cutlass, but the cutlass does a minimum of 1 pt of damage more than the spear. So, what is fair? What I did is just add the minimum and maximum damage together to get a 'average' (I just didn't divide by 2 -- no real point). Rank SPEAR 1-9 1+9 = 10 CUTLASS 2-8 2+8 = 10 According to my rank, they would be equal (IMHO). So now you have these two good lists. Now when I am playing the game, I have five or six different type of weapons to choose from. I check the list, but I found that it takes a while to add all of the value, write them down, and then compare them. So I came up with a cross reference chart. Now there are couple of different ways I could have come up with a numbering system, but I took the easy way out and did it by order. Well, I am probably rattling on a little too much. Here are the lists. I hope you find the information useful. NOTE: Please note that the ranking order between the weapon and armor materials are different. That is why they are on two lists.

When I put together the magic list, I did it after I finished the game. I had a few questions about whether certain spells affected one, a group, or all monsters. Since I finished the game and almost all of the monsters are dead, I couldn't verify some of the spell stats (and I wasn't going to start over :-) Some of the spells seemed pretty straight-foward (ie. Cure Poison), so I did not include an effect description for those. I also separated the combat spells from the rest of the spells. I did this because I did not want to wade through the entire spell list while in an intense combat situation. Now you can glance down, pick a spell, and still keep the momentum of the fighting. There are a few holes and questions. If anybody can fill in the blanks/ questions, please e-mail me. Thanks again to everybody that helped out and expressed interest in the list.
