Hidden treasure room:

bottom left corner of the first town. Climb on the roof by using the crates. Walk to the back
of the chimney to be transported to a secret treasure room with many magic and special items

itself in the good king's head.

For an even more interesting cheat, go to the Room of Ultimate Solutions. This room holds
just about every object in the game and teleports to almost anywhere that you'd want to go.
To locate the room, go to the blacksmith's shop in the northwest part of Trinsic. Pile wooden
boxes on top of each other to build a ramp up to the shop's roof. Walk up the ramp to the
eastern edge of the roof, on the far side of the chimney. Walk into the chimney.
Beat the game really quickly:
-----------------------------
In the starting town of trisnic, grab as many crates as you can(preferably at night so you
dont get arrested) and stack them into a staircase that leads up to the roof of the blacksmith's
in the sw corner. It should take a lot of crates, so don't worry. I think you can even use
anvils if you can't get enough crates. Then when you finally get on top, walk around the back
of the chimney and you'll enter a room. Inside this room are tons of crates with all sorts of
great equipment in them! There are even crates of story items. So you can beat the game really
quickly!
Tons of Gold:
-------------
In the casino hall in Buccaneer's Den there is a roulette table. The wheel spins slowly enough
that you can guess a moment or two before it stops what color is the winner. Simply move your
wager to the appropriate color. Repeat ad nauseum.
Copy Protection answers:
------------------------
After you have talked to all of the town's people about the murder in Trinsic and have Chrisopher's
son, Spark, accompanying you, find the Mayor. During the day the Mayor will be in the Town Hall
(large gray building with a pedestal out front). At night, he is usually in the Tavern.
While talking to him, select "report" to begin answering questions. If you have gathered enough
information, you can ask him about "password". The next 3 questions he asks are references from
the "Cloth Map of Britannia" which was enclosed in the game box. This is copy protection for the
game. Don't have your cloth map anymore?
Below are the answers you'll need to get the password and leave Trinsic.
Latitude of Buccaneer's Den: 60
Latitude of Dagger Isle: 0
Latitude of Deep Forest: 60
Latitude of Skara Brae: 30
Latitude of Spektran: 120
Longitude of Buccaneer's Den: 60
Longitude of Skara Brae: 60
Longitude of Terfin: 120
To leave town, go to any gate and double click on the Winch. You will automatically tell the guard
the password (Blackbird).
