+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Welcome to this FAQ | IDXA0000 |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Hello, welcome to my FAQ to (in my opinion) the best DOS game ever created.
As with all my FAQs I use codes to make you able search quickly though this
FAQ so you can use it only when you're stuck.
You can use CTRL-F type the code and the your browser will look the section
up for you (Apple-F for Mac Users).
I do use seperate codes for the floors, but keep in mind that Lands Of Lore
makes you regulary switch between levels in no specific order I hate that
in this case since it makes it bloody hard to get this FAQ organized, still
I hope you'll find your way to easily navigate through this.
What you need to know is that you can use four characters (see section below)
When I wrote this FAQ I chose Ak'shel as he is the best magician of the bunch
which can grant quite some advantages.
For the good of this FAQ is mostly doesn't matter which character you take
but if you wanna do the same as I did, then Ak'shel is the one to have.
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Playing this game in modern times | IDXA0001 |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Please note, since this is an old game, it may no longer be found in stores.
Undoubtly there are many sites you can download this game from. However, that
is not legal. If those sites say otherwise they are first-rate liars. Even
though this game is old the old copyright rules still apply on it.
There are however (possible) sites which may still be able to get you a legal
copy of this game. I don't know any of them, as I played this from a CD-ROM
which I bought in the old days, but if you know them, I'd be willing to list
them in this FAQ and credit you for your trouble.
Modern OSes may be unable to run this game. So most likely you'll need an
emulator. The one I used was DOSBox 0.63 (for MacOS X). The game may run a
little bit slow in it since Lands of Lore is a pretty demanding game on your
hardware, the game runs properly in it, and I hardly experienced any
difficulties.
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| The main characters | IDXB0000 |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
You have to pick one of the following characters as your main hero in the game.
Ak'shel (Dracoid)
When you want a good magician then Ak'shel is the one to pick. Ak'shel is
physically a bit weaker (hardly noticed), but when it comes to magic he has
the most MP and that can really be handy
Micheal (Human)
Micheal is supposed to be the strongest in attacking. Sorry to say this, but
I never noticed diffrence with the others. His magic capabilities suck. Why
should I pick him?
Kieran (Huline)
Kieran's stats may be low, but don't be fooled. He is very fast and needs the
least recovery time after attacking. If you are a quick player Kieran can really
work out. Even his magic can grow fast once you start gaining mage levels.
If you are an experienced player, then give Kieran a chance.
Conrad (Human)
Conrad is all-round. Not very good in anything but not bad in anything either.
I suppose he could be good if you are in doubt which character to play.
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Characters who join your quest | IDXB0001 |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
These characters can be recruited during your quest.
Timothy (Elf?)
Timothy is in a bar and can join you on your quest to retrieve the Ruby of
Truth. He'll leave the party once that quest is over.
Baccata (Thomgog)
When you need to go into the Drarracle's caves Bacatta will join you. He'll
stay with you till the end of the game. Since he has four arms he can wear
two shields and two weapons. This makes him a really strong attacker and
defender
Lora (Human)
Lora is a bonus character who joins you in the Draracle's caves and will
leave you when you reached the Draracle. I didn't find her that useful, but
when you have her come along the Earth Powder you need later in the game can
be received at Sadie's shop for free.
Paulson (Human)
Paulson will join you once you completed the Urbish Mines. He'll stay with
you till the end of the game. It's hard to find him proper equipment since
your main hero and Bacatta already have that. Still he is an extra hand who
can really prove himself useful.
Dawn (Human)
If you know how to get her then I beg you to e-mail me. She does say she's
planning to join the party when you meet her in Castle Cimeria. However I
never found out how. Back when I was 16 I was quite handy with memory editors
making that I could hack her into my party. This proves that Dawn does exist
as a playable character. How to do this legally is something I could never
figure out. I have the strong hunch that the game makers were originally
planning to let her join the party, but that that idea was dropped on the very
last moment before the game's release.
If you can solve the Dawn mystery then e-mail me.
(No need to tell that this FAQ will let you finish the game without her).
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Walkthrough | IDXC0000 |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Well, you know the deal. Scotia has gotten herself a ring called the
"Nether Mask" and is out to destroy the Gladstone Kingdom with it.
It's up to you to stop her.
Pick the character you want to use to complete this task. Then you'll start
the game in the Gladstone Keep
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Gladstone Keep | IDXCA000 |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Objective: Get the magic atlas and a writ from Geron
Enemies: None (unless you attack the guards, but you can't beat them)
= Move forward open the door
= To the right are two shops. A weapons and a herb shop. You may want to
shop, but money is rare so pick your purchases well.
= The way left of the fountain is the way to go
= When you hit the wall (with Tapestry) turn right and follow the corridor
= Aproach the guards and they'll allow you into the throne room
= Enter the throne room and King Richard will give you your instructions
King Richard will give you the key to his library which contains a magic atlas.
Geron will request you to come to his office before you leave so he'll give
you a writ which you need.
= Go back through the corridor
= When you come to a door open it and turn to the left
= Turn left and use the key the King gave you on the lock
= Check out the books. One of them is the magic atlas.
Great now we have a system that draws a map from all places you've been.
= Leave the library and go back to the entrance
= Here is the door to Geron's office. Enter it to receive your writ
= Now you can leave the Keep to start your quest
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Northland Forest + Thug's hideout | IDXCB000 |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Objective: Receive the Lamp from the Thug's hideout and find the Marina
Enemies: Thug, Boar
= Move forward and take the first way west
= When you hit the trees strafe one step to the right
= Move forward till you hit the trees
= Strafe one step left and meet a thug
He wants your money. Refuse and he'll fight.
If you have Ak'Shel cast a 4th degree spark. When you got somebody else
take the highest level spel you can cast and use normal attacks to finish
him off
= Go into the way he was in
= Go right and follow the way and you'll meet more thugs. Fight them.
With Ak'shel you can get rid of one easily by using level 4 spark. With other
characters this fight is harder (especially with Kieran)
= Enter the hideout
= Follow the corridor flip the lever
= Go into the passage and pick up the lamp (handy in dark places)
= Step once back and turn to the right
= Follow the corridor
= Pick up the rock from the plate and put it on the other plate
= Put a second item (you don't need) on the plate
= South (Check the map) is a hidden switch on the west wall. Press it to open a
niche. Get the thug's key out of it
= Go into the passage that opened (north)
= On the south wall is a button press it.
= Press the button on the north wall
= Push the button on the north wall
= Use the thug's key on the chest to get some treasure. (The lockpicks among
them are very handy. You can open 90% of all the treasure chests with it).
= Now get out of this cave as there's nothing more worth mentioning here.
= Now make your way to the south part of the forest.
Here you'll meet a mysterious woman (guess who she is. Her yellow eyes will
always beray her).
= Go straight south from here and you'll get at the Marina. Enter it and you'll
sail to the south land (show the clerk your writ)
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Southland Forest | IDXCC000 |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Objective: Find Roland's Manor
Enemies: Orc, Giant Lizard
Recruiting Timothy is optional, but I recommend to have him. Completing this
without him is pretty hard (it is possible, but one heck of a challenge).
= Move forward
= When you hit the trees strafe one step to the left and move forward
= When you hit the trees turn left and enter the inn
= Talk to the Blonde man. That's Timothy. he'll join your party
= Also click on the door to the right. The man there will give you a compass
to help you on your quest.
= Now leave the inn
Now that we got a compass I'll just refer to north and south as the compass
does.
= Go west
= When you hit the trees one step south and go west
= When you hit the trees one step north and go west
= To the north is the house of Buck If you need to buy something it can be
done there.
= Keep going west
Okay, now we're getting into Orc territory. Be sure you're rested well before
you go on.
= One step north and go west (Kill the orcs)
= With you hit the trees go south
= First way west
= Follow the path and enter Roland's mannor at the end
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Roland's Manor | IDXCD000 |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Objective: Find sir Roland
Enemies: Orcs
= Head east at take the door north at the end (SAVE THE GAME HERE)
= When the Orc inquires, choose "BLUFF". Mostly the orc will leave.
When you are unlucky he doesn't and then you got a hard fight.
You can load a savegame if that happens or try to fight. The choice is
yours.
= Check out the west wall. If you got Timothy with you he'll tell you that
you found the hiding place.
= Click on the wall and it'll disappear
= Enter the hiding place you'll find Roland dying.
= Use the key to open the chest
= Take everything that's in it (the money in there is your only ticket back
to the keep). If you didn't already find the compass you'll find it in this
chest.
= Leave the mannor.
Now make your way back to the Marina and from there to the keep. It should be
easy to find with the use of the magic atlas.
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| GladStone Keep - Report what happened to Roland | IDXCA100 |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Objective: Report to King Richard
When you have the diskette version you'll be prompted for a password.
This is a copy protection, the word you need is in the manual. When you play
the CD-ROM version you won't be asked for a password.
If you have Timothy I recommmend to strip him of all his equipment.
When you get into the throne room you see that things are out of control.
Timothy will leave the party. Dawn will send Baccata to join you.
She'll also give you a mystic album. With it you can learn new magic spells
(by reading scrolls you'll find during the game). It also contain the heal
spell which you'll really need.
When you are ready leave here.
When you want to buy stuff at Victor's place do it now, because this is the
last time you'll be able to visit the keep.
When you are ready leave the keep and Bacatta guides you to the Draracle's
Cave. Follow his instructions and you'll get there.
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Draracle's Caves | IDXCE000 |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Objective: Find the Draracle in order to find a cure for the king
This is the first multi-level dungeon. I'll divide this place in the same
manner as the levels are divided
Also good to note. Lora can be recruited here. Having her is optional, but if
she's been in your party you can get Earth Powder in Sadie's shop for free.
(I don't know how much she would charge otherwise).
Therefore, for the good of this FAQ I recruited her and will write this FAQ
that way that you will do so too.
IDXCE001: Level 1
Enemies: Bandir, Ratman, Scavenger
= Follow the corridor until you find a horned face on the wall
= Move the horns and enter the passage that opens
= Kill the ratmen you find here
= Continue the way and drop yourself in the first pit you find
(This is officially level 2, but you're here so shortly before you go back to
level 1 that I won't make a new header for it).
= Open the secret passage on the north
= Enter the passage and find some strange things. Examine them. Lora is
trapped in one of them. If you free her, she'll join the party.
= After you got Lora, leave here.
= Get the Sledge from the east alcove and equip it on anybody you like (I chose
Lora, but it really doesn't matter). You cannot complete this place without
that weapon equipped.
= Go to the south and examine the east wall for a switch. Press it.
= Go south and go up the ladder
= Now go back to the room of the pits (Use your map to find it easily)
= From there go west into the south alcove
= Press the three switches in random order
= Go north past the pits and then go into the corridor
= When you step on the pressure plate bandits will come out. Kill them all.
= You can drop an item to keep the plate weighted to loot the room the bandits
were in. Nothing noteworthy there though (unless you didn't already have a
set of lockpicks).
= Go east into the corridor
= When you see a pressure plate Lora will warn you for a trap
= Put an item you no longer need on the plate and run back to avoid being
hit by the things (whatever it is) that will be shot at you
= Proceed east
= Around the corner south
= Fight the Ratmen. One of them drops an emeral eye. Take it with you.
= Enter the "room" and head west
= Lora will mention the wall south is not in good shape
= Turn south and have the person equipped with the sledge to attack it twice
and it'll crumble to dust
= Make you way south until you'll find another crumbly wall (Lora will mention
it)
= Strike this wall three times and it'll crumble to dust
= Go south
= Around the corner west
= Examine the north wall for a switch. Press it
= Continue west and jump into the pit
IDXCE002: Level 2
Enemies: Cave Dweller, Ratman
= Turn to the south and attack the cave dweller that comes to attack you
= Go West
= Then north
= You'll get on a spin spot
= From here turn north and go north
= First way east and open the chest (with lockpicks)
= Along the treasures in there is a Saphire Eye. Take it.
= Go west
= At the end north
= Open the door with the switch beside it
Here you find two dragon faces. With the emerald eye you can open the east one
with the saphire eye the north one.
I took the north one. The east one also leads to the Draracle in the end via a
complete difrent route. Alas this FAQ only handles the north route and not the
east route. Perhaps I might put in that other route in an update of this FAQ.
For now just go north
= First way east
= Go forward till you spin around
= Go south
= Open the chest for treasure
= Go north (you'll spin around)
= Go north
= Go east and go through the wall (it's an illusion)
= From there 1 step south and continue east into the corridor
= Follow the corridor until you get at a T-Cross
= Go north there to find a chest. Open it. Among the treasures is a silver
goblet. You need that item later.
You'll also find a "Freeze" scroll. Use it on any of your party members to
obtain the spell "Freeze" (you cannot finish the game without that spell)
= Go south
= When you hit the wall (ignore the switch. It's a trap) but head west
= Throw a random item over the pit and the pit will close
= Pick up the worn key from the niche and go east
= Around the corner north
= First way west
= Around the corner north
= Around the corner east then north
= Zigzag and go west
= When you hit the wall South
= Go east and go downstairs to level 3
IDXCE003: Level 3
Enemies: Flying Spider, Scavenger
= Go north
= Put the worn key into the lock and the east wall will disappear
= Go east
= Bacatta could tell you that the pit in front of you is an illusion.
He is right, so go over that pit.
(It is possible Bacatta doesn't say that but that Lora instead says the
wall behind you has closed (about which she also is right). In both cases
the pit is an illusion).
= Pick up the empty falsk beside the pit and continue east till you hit the
wall
= Go south and open the chest if you like
= From the chest take the way east
= When you hit the wall go north
= When you hit the wall take the iron key to the west
= Go South
= When you hit the wall one step West and go south
= When you hit the wall press the switch (strafe once left) and go south into
the passage you opened
= South wall is an illusion. You can find an axe there, east is the way to go
= When you hit the wall south
= Zigzag through the small corridor and go south
= At the end west

= Go south through the passage you just opened
= When you hit the wall go east
= Follow the corridor and go downstairs at the end
IDXCE004: Level 4
Enemies: Slugslime (that's what I call it), Flying Spider
What is important is to save a lot here. The Slugslime as I named them (the name
the game makers intended is unknown to me since this monster is not in the
manual) can eat your armor. That armor cannot be recovered. So save your game
often and load your game every time that happens.
= Follow the corridor
= At the crosspoint turn to the left (west)
= Around the corner south
= When you hit the wall west
= Click on the "V" (which is a switch) to open the passage.
= 1 step forward and quickly 1 step right to avoid the fireball
= 1 more step north, then around the corner west
= Go north
= Ignore the switch but go north through the passage beside it
= Go east (when you hit the wall) and break the wall at the end
(You know the procedure by now)
= First throw an item into the passage and wait until the fireball has passed.
Then go north
= Go west until you hit the wall (with the head on it)
= Go north until you hit the wall
= Go east until you hit the wall
= Put an item you no longer need on the pressure plate before and wait until
the fireball has passed
= Go south until you hit the wall
= Go east upstairs
Now follow the path until you reached the Draracle's chamber.
(If you have Lora, strip her of all equipment before entering the Draracle's
chamber)
Click on the archway and small closet will open.
If you took the north route at the two dragon split (like I did) the trinket
to put into there is the silver goblet. If you took the east route then you
must give the jeweled dagger
After that click exit.
Now the Draracle will give you a recipe. The recipe is a riddle (the solution to
that riddle is at the end of this FAQ. Of course when you follow this FAQ you'll
find the answers also).
You'll get the riddle scroll. Take it with you. Now follow the corridors until
you are back on level 1. Once there you can use the map to get out of here.
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Northland Forest - Gladstone has fallen | IDXCB100 |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Objective: Seek out Victor and go to Opinwood
Enemies: Orc (and maybe Boar and Thug)
= You'll be attacked by Orcs kill them all.
= You'll find Timothy (regardless if he was in your party or not).
Now you need to go to Opinwood. The Marina has been destroyed by the Orcs, so
you cannot make use of that. The Keep has also been destroyed, so you cannnot
enter it anymore.
If there's still something you need in this region get it now as when you
continue you'll never get back here.
When you are ready:
= Go south from the Dracacle's caves until you hit the trees
= One step east and continue south
= When you hit the trees go west
= First way south (you'll hear somebody say "Psst" twice)
= At the end turn east and you'll meet Victor.
Victor will give you a long sword. After that you'll be brought to Opinwood
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Opinwood I | IDXCF000 |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Objective: Find the way too the Gorkha Swamp
Enemies: Orc, Pentrog
I know you've been told to seek out Dawn, but it makes no sense yet. You cannot
yet reach her. You need the Ruby of Truth before you can find her.
For that we must go to the Gorkha Swamp.
= Go north
= At the end go west
= At the very end go north
= Zigzag north, first way east
= Follow the road to the north
= At the very end go west
= Turn north and you'll reach the swamp
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Gorkha Swamp | IDXCG000 |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Objective: Retrieve the Ruby Of Truth from the Gorkha chief
Elixir Ingredient: The Deadly Depts (Swamp Water)
Enemies: Gorkha (don't fight them), Boglytes, Living Sticks
There are three Gorkha's in this level. Make sure you don't attack them and
don't even hurt them by accident. They will become your enemies. They are
extremely hard to beat and I don't know if it's still possible to beat the game
if you do this.
The sinkholes will kill you if you step into them. Casting freeze will freeze
the swamp and then you can pass over them. After awhile (the level of the spell
decides how much time that is) the swamp defrosts. In frozen state you can pass
over the pits. Once the swamp has defrosted the pits will kill you again.
If you are on a pit the moment the swamp defrosts you won't be killed unless
you step into that pit again (or step in another pit)
At some spots you there's gas. Stepping into it can make a character fall
asleep (press the rest button and that's cured) or to get poisoned.
There are weapon stores here. Sell the weapons you no longer need there.
I'll point out one that has good stuff to buy for your adventure.
Oh yeah, some weak spots of enemies. The Boglytes (or Blobs if you like) are
weak to the Freeze spell. The Living Sticks to the Spark spell. Nice to know,
eh?
= Turn east
= When your hero warns for a sinkhole fill a flask in it (if you have none you
can come back for that later). The swamp water you'll get is one of the
ingredients for the Elixir
= Go north and speak with the Gorkha. He'll leave and you can pass
= Go east
= At the end north
= At the end east
= Frist way north
= At the very end west
= When you hit the trees (with some Orc heads) go north
= At the very end east
= At the very end south
= Around the corner east
= Go north
= A Gorkha will request to remove your weapons. Just unequipment and he'll let
you pass. Equip your weapons again. He won't block the path.
= Go north
= First way east and follow the way until you meet the Gorkha Chief
The chief will offer the Ruby Of Trust to trade.
Offer him something. He'll decline, but make you a proposal. Accept.
Good you gotta kill living sticks and bring back the helmet they stole.
Now there are serveral living sticks around. Only one drops the helmet and that
one can only be found in a specific place in the swamp. I'll lead you there.
= Follow the way until you reach the T-Cross. Go west there
= Around the corner north, then west
= At the very end south
= When you hit the trees go east
= Around the corner north then east
= Around the corner south
= First way east
= Around the corner north
= Follow the way until you get in a field with three pits.
= Cast Freeze to be able to cross them and go south
= Here you'll find the living stick that drops the helmet.
Now to the east of here, is a blacksmith who sells the best weapons you can get
at this stage of the game. I do suggest to seek him out and buy his entire
stock, as it really pays off.
After that go back to the chief (use the map to find it back) and trade the
Ceremonial Mask for the Ruby of Truth.
After that go back to Opinwood (use the map to find it. It's the exit south
west on the map.
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Opinwood II | IDXCF000 |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Objective: 1st - Seek out Dawn and get her key to Richard's shroud
2nd - Go to the Urbish Mines
In that order (preferably for this FAQ)
Enemies: Orc, Pentrog
This is gonna be a long way...
From the Gorkha swamp entrance:

= Go east through 2 illusions
= At the end north

= Around the corner south
= At the end west
= At the end south
= Around the corner west then south

Now that you have the Ruby of Truth Droek will allow you to speak with Dawn.
Dawn will give you her key to the King's shroud (that's 1 out of 4).
Show her the Recipe and she'll give a clue. (You need that clue to finish the
game).
When you leave she'll give some vials (take them).
If you already have Paulson in your party (not the case if you followed this
FAQ, but you can get him before you get here) she'll also give you a Vaelen's
Cube.
Now find the Urbish Mines. If you followed my directions you'll find it on the
map. Go there and enter
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Urbish Mines | IDXCH000 |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Objective: Seek out Paulson and have him to join the party
Elixir Ingriedent: Butcher the creature whose flesh has never lived (Bloodstone)
The Urbish Mines is one hell of a job to write a FAQ on since you'll yo-yo
between the floors a lot here.
Therefore in stead of dividing this section into the levels it's divided in
I see more fit in dividing it into the main tasks you have to complete here.
Task #1: Kill the Lahkron guarding the entrance
Task #2: Repair the water pump on the main level
(and butcher the creature whose flesh has never lived in the process)
Task #3: Find one of the keys you need to find Paulson
Task #4: Seek Paulson
An overview of the enemmies
Main Level: Lahkron (boss), Mine Crab (or whatever)
Level 1: Little Guy, Iron Grazer
Level 2: Eletric Jellyfish, Worm
Level 3: Avian Worms (in certain areas which you will not get into when
following this FAQ), Living Rocks
Level 4: Living Rocks, Mine Crab (same as in main level)
For your orientation I will note the levels so you can be sure you are in the
same level as I am :)
If you look for a way to kill the living rocks. Use "Freeze".
IDXCH001: Task #1: Kill the Lahkorn
There's a door leading into the mines. When you open it the Lahkorn will come
out.
_______
| Boss
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Lahkorn |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Difficulty: Medium |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Run towards the exit of the mines, and wait for the Lahkorn to come there. |
| The Lahkorn will disarm you and that hurts more than his regular attacks |
| so don't bother re-equipping lost arms. Just throw your weapons to it. Keep |
| this up and you'll see it in damaged state. Keep throwing until it's dead. |
| When you get low on HP get out of the mine to rest and enter the mine to |
| resume the fight. |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Now go down the stairs (on the spot the Lahkron used to be).
From there Task #2 will start
IDXCH002: Task #2: Fix the waterpump (and butcher the creature whose flesh...)
MAIN LEVEL
What is pretty nasty is that you can acquire the Fireball spell on this floor,
but the scroll that contains this spell is on a random spot on this level.
If you are unlucky it isn't even there at all. You can obtain the spell later
in the game, so if you missed it, it's not really a disaster.

WARNING!
I KNOW IT IS TEMPTING, BUT THIS FOREST ALSO CONTAINS A SCOTIA'S BARRIER. IF YOU
DESTROY IT NOW YOU DOOM YOURSELF TO THE IMPOSSIBILITY TO EVER WIN THIS QUEST
(UNLESS YOU'D CONSIDER CHEATING). SO WHATEVER YOU DO. DON'T DESTROY THAT BARRIER
UNTIL YOU OBTAINED THE CRUCIBLE OF FAITH!!
By the way, I know that one ingredient is still missing. Still we must complete
some quests in the tower first before creating the Elixir. So I know what I'm

orc who'll drop it.
NOW I CANNOT STRESS IT ENOUGH!
DO NOT USE IT TO DISPELL SCOTIA'S BARRIER IN THIS FOREST!!!!
NOT YET!

Objective: Find the Crucible of Faith
(You have to come back later for the Elixir)
This is a multi-level dungeon.
It's pretty straight forward, so I can just divide the sections into the
4 levels it has. The last section has a small side-quest in which you can get
a better weapon. No big deal, though....
IDXCK001: Level 1

You'll meet Lyle. Bacatta will recognize him as a thief.

a. You can help him. Then you'll get 10 crowns from him. Then press the hidden
switcc on the wall and get the amber ring from the niche
b. You can kil him. Then you'll find a coinsack with 10 coins. Then press the
hidden switch to open a niche to obtain the ring
c. You can leave. Then he will offer a ring. You you keep trying to leave he'll
insist help. Leaving makes no sense after that offer as you'll have to come
back here if you do. If you help him now you'll get the money and the ring.
Don't equip that ring even though it raises your protection. You need it as
a key-item
= Leave the cell

will open

Enemies: Wraith, Apperition
At the entrance of this level you'll be warned by a ghost to leave.
Paulson may not be impressed by this but you better be, the warning this ghost
gives is one to be taken into account. The wraiths in particular can kill you
quite quickly. All enemies here can go through walls, resting is often
impossible as you'll nearly always be disturbed during your sleep
Worst part is, none of your spells will affect the enemies here, and your swords
are ineffective as well. Nothing can kill them....
Nothing.... except the Vaelan's cube. Use it every time you find enemies and
they'll be destroyed in an instant.

= Enter the room
You'll meet the spirit of an old woman. If you're playing the diskette version
you'll be asked for the word of faith. Check your manual for that one as that's
actually the copy-protection. When you're playing the CD-ROM version the word
of faith won't be asked.
Take the stone head flying in the air.
Now you can make your way out of this place (and claim treasure in the niche on
your way out) and leave the White Tower.

Yvel.
Once you got the Earth Powder you can leave Yvel and go back to the white tower.

Here you'll meet Geron. He'll request you to bring Dawn to him.
= Leave Yvel
= Go back to Upper Opinwood and you'll meet Dawn who wants her key back.
No wait just a minute. Dawn's eyes betray her. The real Dawn has blue eyes and
this version has yellow eyes. Scotia's trademark. Cut short, this is not Dawn
but Scotia.
When you give her the key she will leave. Don't worry if you made that mistake
when you did you will get that key back and this FAQ will tell you how when
the time comes (trust me, you can hardly miss it).
When you try to run away or refuse to give the key Scotia will transform herself
into a giant Lizard and attack you.

| Boss
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Giant Lizard (Scotia) |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Difficulty: Medium |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Basically Scotia has in this form the same properties as a normal Giant |
| Lizard. She only has more hitpoints and can cause an earthquake to disarm |
| you. However a few hard strokes should do it. After taking some damage |
| Scotia will transform into a crow and fly away |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Now go back to Yvel.
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| The City of Yvel - Under Attack | IDXCL100 |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Objective: Defend Yvel
Enemies: Giant Orc, Cabal Warrior
Go back to the Yvel Counsil and Geron will tell you that Yvel is under attack.
Now there will be Orcs and Soldiers all over the city. Just kill all enemies
that come in sight. When you have defeated enough enemies, your hero will say
that the battle has been won.
(HINT! If you're injured. Enter a random building. Inside buildings the enemy
cannot come, so that's a save place to rest).
(It could be you still meet enemies after you won the battle. Those are enemies
who came in during the attack. However after you won no more new enemies will
enter).
Warning! If you have any business with Victor. Do it now. After continuing from
this point his shop will be closed... PERMANENTLY!
Go back to the counsil. The door to the counsil is locked, but Geron left a
note. Take it and read it.
Now go east from the Counsil door and the door leads to Bruno's Lodge.
Enter the lodge and go through the back door
You'll be in a small room. Kill all the giants orcs here. Open the secret
passage north.
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Catwalk Caves | IDXCN000 |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Objective: Make your way through the cave and find the Xeobs and the Knowles.
(And find Geron's key in the process).
Enemies: Frendor (Boss), Cabal Warrior, Spark
The game calls this level 1. There is a level 2, but you won't get there with
the directions of this FAQ (there's nothing worth mentioning there either.
Probably level 2 was meant for purposes dropped before the game's release.
Then a note on the sparks. The only way to kill those is by a level 4 spark
spell. Quite odd, but true.
= Go north
= When you hit the wall go west then north
= Before the alcove west
= There's a way north. Go in and you'll meet Frendor. Kill him and his two
soldiers.
_______
| Boss
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Frendor |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Difficulty: Easy |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| A few blows should be enough to kill him. He has a lot of HP, but that's |
| all there's to it. |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
After Frendor is killed he'll drop three items.
1. A statuette of which its true meaning is unknown to me
2. Geron's key
3. A Gauntlet
It's obvious you need to take Geron's key. The gauntlet will be your only key to
open many doors and passages. Don't lose it, or you'll get stuck.
= Go west
= Use the gauntlet on the hand carving in the wall
= Go west through the passage (it'll close behind you)
= Follow the corridor until you see two hand carvings on the wall.
Both hands lead to a section that has to be completed to earn a key.
You can complete both sections in random order. I take this on in the order in
which I took it on.
SECTION 1:
= Put the gauntlet in the hand on the west
= Enter the passage (which closes behind you)
= Follow the corridor
= Press the button to open the door and enter the next room
= Press the button in the east alcove
= Press the button on the west wall
= Proceed to the passage north (don't fall into the pit)
= Press the button east and make one step to the north
= Press the west button and proceed into the corridor
= Follow the corridor until you get in a small room.
= Proceed east there
= Follow the corridor (with a plate you'll open a close doors along the way)
= At the end open the door by using the gauntlet on the hand in the wall
= Go through the door
= Proceed west until you hit the wall
= Put an item on the northen pressure plate and step in the northern teleporter
= Flip the lever (to open the doorway back) and proceed west
= First way north
= Around the corner east
= First way south
= When you hit the wall east
= When you hit the wall south
= When you hit the wall east
= Open the chest in an alcove north. You'll find serveral treasures, a yellow
key and the Mist Of Doom scroll.
= Go west
= When you hit the wall north
= When you hit the wall west
= When you hit the wall north
= At the T-Cross east
= Follow the corridor and open the door with the switch on the south wall
= Proceed east (you may need a little slalom) until you reach a door with a
hand symbol beside it. Use the gauntlet and the door will open
= Follow the path and go through the illusion wall at the end
END OF SECTION 1
If you did section 2 already then go to BOTH SECTIONS COMPLETED.
If not go to the place where the two hand symbols were and take on section 2.
(West wall is illusion. You can go back to the entrance from there).
SECTION 2:
= Put the gauntlet into the hand on the north
= Enter the north passage (the way will close behind you).
= Go north and follow the corridor (open doors with pressure plates on the way
which will close behind you, you may also spin around at some spots. You may
wanna use the map to check your route and direction when that happens)
= When you get on a crosspoint (where you spin around) go east. The wall is
an illusion
= After the illusion go north
= Around the corner east then go through the illusion wall north
= Go north (you may spin around some times) and go at the end east
= Follow the corridor (and check your way when you step on a spinning field)
= At the end step through the illusion on the south
= After the illusion go west
= Around the corner south
= At the end go through the illusion east
= One step north and continue east
= Follow the corridor until you reach a door
= Open it with the gauntlet on the hand symbol west
= Follow the corridor
Okay, now of all the Cabal Warriors you meet you may meet one who drops a key.
I can't say where to find him, as he wanders around in this large area. I'll
just tell you the regular route to walk, the chance his high you meet him on
the way.
= Ignore the doors and take the corridor south
= Go south until you hit the wall
= Go east until you hit the wall
= Go south through the door
= One step west and go south
= Open the door at the end with the button east
= Enter the room
Now you get at a chest. You need the key the Cabal Warrior drops to open it
(lockpicks won't help here). When you didn't find that guard yet seek him out
and return here.
Among the treaures is a great Axe Master. It increases your rogue skills. Handy
to wear when you cannot open certain chests.
You also find a small key.
You'll also find a Guardian. Using them brings a very powerful attack. I prefer
to save those for the battle with Scotia at the end of the game.
= Leave this room.
= Go into the corridor west
= At the end north, then west then south
= Go through the south illusion wall.
If you did section 1 already then go to BOTH SECTIONS COMPLETED.
If not go to the place where the two hand symbols were and take on section 1.
(West wall is illusion. You can go back to the entrance from there).
BOTH SECTIONS COMPLETED:
= Use the yellow and the small key to open the door east and enter.
You'll meet a Xeob and a knowle. They'll tell you what to do next.
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| The War of the Xeobs and the Knowles (Dungeon) | IDXCO000 |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Objective: Kill one of the two races and go to Castle Cimmeria
Enemies: Xeob or Knowle
Basically there are two races. Both of them want you to kill the other race
completely.
It's not really possible to write any routes out here in this FAQ as you must
search for the members of the race you've chosen to kill, so I'll have to leave
this mission in pointers.
Choose which race you want to help and step in the teleporter which had that
race carved beside it and you'll have to kill the others. Think well, since
once the choice is made you cannot change it any more.
Once chosen you will be in a level called "Dungeon". When you chose to help
the Knowles the dungeon will be filled with Xeobs, when you chose to help the
Xeobs the room will be filled with Knowles. Your mission is simple kill them
all. There is a sphere in which you come in contact with the race you decided
to help. They will not be helpful when you didn't kill the other race, when you
did they'll give you your reward and a key which you can use to enter Castle
Cimmeria.
When you helped the Xeobs they'll increase the fighting level of all party
members by one.
When you helped the Knowles they'll increase the magic level of all party
members by one.
Personally I chose to help the Knowles, so I had to kill the Xeobs. The Xeobs
are easier to kill and cannot contineously quake the weapons out of my hands.
Both races can however consume your armor which you can never get back.
Now you must before you move on after obtaining your reward not leave until you
found Nathaniel's key which you can find in the north section of this dungeon
in a niche in a secret passage. And a Vaelan's Cube which is found in the east
section of the dungeon. (If you chose to kill the Xeobs you have to wait with
getting the cube until the Knowles have rewarded you for completing the mission)
There's also a diamond here. It's in a chest in the center part of this place.
You can use it to free Dawn (who has been kidnapped by Scotia in the meantime).
Good luck.
To help you find the items you need and the exit, after you killed the race
you chose to kill I have here some routes. I'll describe it from the place
where the home of your host race is. So if you had to kill the Xeobs, I'll
describe it from the home of the Knowles and vice versa.

Objective: Find and cure king Richard
Find and kill Scotia
In that order
This level has two tasks which need to be done in order. As long as King Richard
has not been cured you cannot defeat Scotia no matter how strong you are.
I divide this section in two task, but since the levels are pretty big, I'll
also divide the tasks into the levels.
TASK A: IDXCP0A0: Find and Cure King Richard
IDXCP0A1: Level 1 (Task A)
Enemies: Ghost Cabal Warrior, Flying Axes
In order to defeat the Ghost Cabal Warriors use Vaelan's Cube. They'll be
destroyed instantly.
= Go west
= First way north
= First way east
= Open the door and close it behind you
= Open the next door and find a crystal ball. Examine it and you'll see that
Dawn is imprisoned in it.
= Use the Diamond from the dungeons on it and Dawn will be free.
(She'll say she join you later, but if you know when or how that will be
please mail me. I'm curious).
= Leave this room and go back to the corridor
= Go south there
= When you hit the wall go west

= Keep going west until you are warped into a big field
Now the object is to weight four plates to obtain the Dragon Figurine and to
find the door to level 2. This is quite a task and will not be easy to write
down in this FAQ, even impossible. One wrong click and the FAQ won't help you
any more. Just find the four plates and put something on it you no longer need
Make sure you don't fall into a pit. You'll end up in the Dungeons (of the
Knowles and the Xeobs) and without the automap it's very hard to find your
way out.
= When the last plate has been weighted you should be standing in front of
an alcove. Move forward into it.
= At the end press the button in front of you then the button left of you
= A niche should open with a Dragon Figurine. Take it.
= Move out of this corridor to the field

= When you reach the wall (with fireball thrower) head east, then south
= IGNORE THE BUTTON ON THE SOUTH WALL!
= Press the button on the west wall and go east
When you reach the door you may see that King Richard is behind it when you
ask for the map. Leave him be for now. As long as you don't have all figurines
(of which you should now have 3 out of 4) there's no way to save him. Cut short

= Open the east door
= Continue the way east and open the door south at the end
= Go upstairs to level 3
IDXCP0A3: Level 3 (TASK A)
Enemies: Gigantic Toad
TWO VERY IMPORTANT WARNINGS ABOUT THIS LEVEL!!!!
First, it is already possible to challenge Scotia who can be found on this very
level. However as long as Richard has NOT been cured, there is NO WAY TO KILL
SCOTIA. When you meet her you cannot leave the area either, so cut short, if you
meet Scotia now you are just dead.
Second, items you throw on this level are very likely to be lost FOREVER!!! They
may just disappear. As a programmer I can tell you why that is. The engine uses
a buffer for all items that fly. That is, fireballs and other flying objects
which the game throws at you as you trigger boobytraps, and that also includes
items that are thrown. This level contains a meganism that throws fireballs like
crazy in a very short interval. And that from many directions. And once
triggered this will go on forever. Result, the buffer has far too many objects
to process. When there are more flying objects than the memory can take the
engine just removes that object from play to prevent the game from crashing.
Alas this does not just include boobytrap objects, but items you throw as well
which apparantly use the same buffer.
Next, when you proceed forward Scotia will lock you in. You cannot leave this
level any more by stairs, but there are pits and you can use those to go back
to level 2 in stead once you're done here (for the time being).
Also when you arrive at this level the compass will break. Alas this time the
damage to it is permanent, and there's no way to fix that compass. I'll still
be talking into north, east, west and south, but if you are unsure about your
direction use the map. It's still acurate :)
= After Scotia locked you in, one step forward and go east
= Just before you hit the wall go into the corridor south
= When you see an alcove with a pit in it, examine the wall south of it and
press the switch. The wall will disapear releaving a new switch. Press that
one two
= Go back east and go north as soon as you hit the wall
= When you hit the wall 1 eas, one north, 2 east and follow the corridor. (open
the door on the way and continue)
THE SUM MUST BE CORRECT!
= From the sign with this text go south (if there's no passage, read the passage
above on how to open it).
= Press the switches on both the east and west side of the room you get in and
a niche will open.
= Take the humanoid figurine from the niche and put an item you no longer need
in the niche. Also when you gave Dawn's key to the Fake Dawn in Yvel forest
you can find that key back in this niche.
= Press one of the buttons and the passage north will open.
= Go north and follow the corridor
= When you reach the acid drops go into the way west
= When you hit the wall 1 step south 1 west and go into the corridor west
= Jump into the pit at the west alcove.
IDXCPRA2: Level 2 (TASK A) (All preperations done. Let's cure King Richard)
Enemies: Wheel Beast, and something that can stun you.
= You should have the location where Richard is on your map. Let's go there.
= Open the door to Richard with the Carrion Key
= Go to Richard
= There are platforms around his shroud. Examine the one in the sunlight
= Place the cobra figurine here and press "exit"
= Now a second platform is lit. Examine it
= Place the humanoid figurine here
= Place the dragon figurine on the next one
= Place the unicorn figurine on the last one
Now we can place the keys of the counsel to dispell the shroud.
= Place Dawn's key in the upperleft corner
= Place Geron's key in the upper right corner
= Place Nathanial's key in the bottom left corner
= Place Paulson's key in the bottom right corner
= Now apply the Elixr (Crucible of Faith to him)
This will cure King Richard. He'll give you the Shard of Truth. You need that
item later to kill Scotia. If you want you can give the king a weapon, but I
do not know if it makes much diffrence. The king has been saved. Leave here and
go after Scotia.
TASK B: IDXCP0B0: Find and kill Scotia
IDXCP0B2: Level 2 (TASK B)
Enemies: Wheel Beast, and something that can stun you.
Find your way back to level 3 and go upstairs. You should know the way by now
especially with your compass.
IDXCP0B3: Level 3 (TASK B)
Enemies: Gigantic Toad, Scotia (Boss)
IMPORTANT NOTE! IF YOU DIDN'T SAVE THE KING YET YOU ARE READING THE WRONG
SECTION! READ THE SECTION ABOVE FIRST, OR YOU'D BE WALKING INTO YOUR DOOM!
= Go east
= When you come at a corridor go south and a mechanism will start that will
throw lasers and fireballs like crazy.
= Use a 4th level Freeze to keep the fireballs out of the small corridor and
enter it.
= Press the north button to open the south niche.
= Get the gold key from it.
= Proceed west and go north until you hit the wall
= Go west
= When you hit the wall one step south and continue west
= At the very end go through the south door
= You see signs with "Leave ... here". Do so and a niche will open to the south
(You can reclaim your items, so don't worry)
(Note! Shooting weapons oddly do not count as weapons in this puzzle)
= Remove the key from the niche, reclaim your items if you want them and leave
this room north
= To steps east and go north (There are boobytraps)
= Go west
= Follow the corridor until you meet a monster. Kill it (Mist of doom works
well)
= From there go north till you hit the wall
= One step east and continue north
= At the end one step east and continue north
= At the end go east
= When you hit the wall one step south and go east
= When you hit the wall one step north and go east
= First way south
= First way west
= At the end south
= Open the chest with the dull key (lockpicks won't work) and take the silver
key from the chest
= Go back to the entrance of this level (There's a lone square on the map. When
you stand against the wall immediatly south of it you are at the position I
want you to be).
= From there go west and take the first way north
= Open the door and enter the room
= Press the button on the north wall to reveal a door
= To unlock the door use the silver key on the lock west of it and the gold key
on the door to the right of it.
= Open the door
Okay, before you enter. If there's anything left to do, do it now, once you're
through this door, you cannot leave any more for the rest of the game.
(an extra savegame at this spot won't hurt)
= Go to the west door,when you ask for the map you can see that Scotia is
behind it, so don't open it yet.
= Rest if your HP and MP isn't full and combine the Ruby Of Truth with the Shard
of Truth and you'll receive The Whole Truth.
= After that open the door, and enter to face the evil hag.
_______
| Boss
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Scotia |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Difficulty: Medium |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Scotia will immediatly transform into a big monster. After hitting her |
| she'll transform again. After three transformations she'll become |
| invincible and then you practically lost the battle. |
| |
| To prevent that from happening use The Whole Truth on the moment she |
| transforms (it doesn't work on any other moment) and Scotia's Nether Mask |
| will be transformed forcing her back into her human form. |
| |
| Now I often used two or three guardians and she's dead. Easy huh. |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
After this battle the game is over....
CONGRATULATIONS YOU HAVE COMPLETED LANDS OF LORE: THE THRONE OF CHAOS!
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| The Elixir of Tabal | IDXD0000 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
For those who only seek the ingredients for the Elixir to cure King Richard.
The white tower the Draracle mentions is the white tower you'll get to in the
game. On Altar de Blanca (on level 1) you can create the Elixir if you got the
Crucible of Faith (which you get if you completed the tower).
The ingredients are in riddles, so here I'll sum up what all the ingredients
are:
- Butcher the Creature whose Flesh has never lived.
= A Bloodstone. One can be dropped if you defeat the living rocks on level 4 of
the Urbish Mines. (The ones on level 3 won't count).
- You must see the Sweetness of your Enemy
= Giant Hornet Honey. There are serveral nests in Upper Opinwood. Use an empty
flask on it to get it.
- The Third Ingredient must be collected from the Deadly Depts
= Swamp water. In the Gorhka swamp you can get it by using a flask on a pit.
(The swamp may not be frozen at the time)
- Lastly you need powers taken from the heart of your mother
= Earth Powder. You can get it from Sadie in Yvel. It's free if you brought
Lora to the Draracle. (I don't know what she charges otherwise).
Before Sadie will understand that you want Earth power you must have shown
the Draracle's recipe to either Geron (in Yvel) or Dawn (in Opinwood).
And that covers the Elixir.

| A few things to point out (Q&A style) | IDXE0000 |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
These aren't question I've been asked, but more questions I could expect to be
asked. So here I answer them at forehand. :)
Q: Is there a way to prevent Scotia from destroying Gladstone
A: No
Q: What's the password to the keep?
A: Check your manual. It's part of the copyprotection.
(CD-ROM players will never be asked for that)
Q: What is the word of faith?
A: Same answer as previous question
Q: What's the deal with that beggar in Opinwood
A: If you give him 5 crowns you can show him the Draracles recipe for a clue
in how to make the Elixir. This beggar will later move to Yvel where you
find him in Bruno's lodge (the pub). If you gave him 5 crows in Opinwood
he'll give you a whispercloak. If you didn't give him money before he'll
sell it to you for a very high price. Not that the cloak is worth it though
Q: Is there a spell named "Hand Of Fate"?
A: Yes. With hacking it's possible to get it, but I think it's not by playing
fair. I think the idea of the spell was dropped just before the game release.
There is however an ace you can use to cast that spell and when you use the
gauntlet you find in the Catwalk Caverns as a weapon you'll also cast Hand
Of Fate.
Q: How can I defeat the ghots in the White Tower?
A: Use Valean's Cube and they'll be destroyed instantly
Q: I already used the second cube to open the way to Yvel. Can I still take on
the ghosts?
A: No! If you did that you're doomed and then it's impossible to do that without
cheating. If you already used two Valean's Cube you won't get a new one
(until you reached the final mission which you can only reach after this
tower is completed. So that won't help ya).
Q: I have the Crucible of Faith. Can I now use Vealen's Cube safely to destroy
the barrier?
A: Yes. You do not need to fight ghosts any more.
Q: Is that dagger Victor sells for 3000 crowns worth its money?
A: No. Don't buy it. Other weapons are much better, and once you have it you
cannot sell it. Not even to Victor.
Q: Is there any way to get my Rogue skills up?
A: Yes. You can do that by using shooting weapons or throwing things. Throwing
your inventory all the way through a mission makes the mission take longer,
but makes you rogue skill go up.
By equipping a Jade Necklace and the Great Axe "Master" your rogue level
will also increase by one.
Q: Can I live without those rogue levels?
A: You can, but some chests in the final parts of the game, will simply not
budge when your rogue level is lower than 4.
Q: Does it matter to whom I sell my stuff?
A: Yes! One gives more for an item than another. The one who sold you a weapon
in the first place will always give you the same ammount for it as what you
paid to buy it (only exception is the jewelled dagger from Victor in Yvel),
others will always pay less. When you have shooting weapons then always
sell them to a fletcher (there's one in the Gorkha swamp and in Yvel).
They'll pay you twice the price other merchants would pay.
Q: What are the best weapons and where can I get them?
A: The very best is the Great Sword "Justice" you can buy that one from Victor
in Yvel.
The second best is the Great Sword "Doom", you can find it in Castle Cimmeria
Level 1. There are doors you can throw a rock through. Behind one of them
is a wall with sword decoration. Click on it and you'll receive the sword.
The third best is the Great Sword "Trouble" which will be dropped by Queen
Jana (White Tower Level 1) when you kill her.
Q: Is Dawn the princess? In other words, king Richard's daughter?
A: This is quite a question for which the game does not really give a straight
answer. The game doesn't even tell if Richard was married in the first place.
The closest hint the game comes to it, is that man in Bruno's pub in Yvel
who tells you the history of Yvel. He says "Scotia hates king Richard in his
little Dawn too". That "his little Dawn" makes me think that Dawn could be
Richard's daughter. Perhaps "Lands Of Lore II - The Guardians Of Destiny"
could answer it, as Dawn acts there as a helping hand for the hero Luther.
But point is, Lands Of Lore II is not even half as good as Lands Of Lore I
was, and I never finished that game, and after I heard LOL3 was even worse,
I won't play that one. If you know the correct answer, you can mail me.
Q: Is it true that in Lands Of Lore II you are the son of Scotia?
A: Yes. Lands Of Lore 2 makes that very clear from the very beginning of the
game.

Before contacting me, please read carefully.
If you want me to answer questions about the game itself please visit this
site:
http://www.tbbs.nl/QuestionGen.php4
That is my Q&A site where I (or others) will answer all your game questions.
If you do, please check if the question you want to ask hasn't been asked
before. :)
If you want to inquire about me as a person, or when you have anything to
say about the FAQ itself, like asking permission to host, got suggestions
for this FAQ, something like that please mail it to
tric1975@hotmail.com
AND PUT [Tric-FAQ] IN THE SUBJECT OR ELSE MY SPAMFILTER MAY
REJECT YOU!
If you see that I missed things in this FAQ, then in stead of calling me
names, you may tip me about that part, or if you want even come up with
a complete workout of that part, that I will copy into this FAQ (I may alter
your lay-out to make it fit with the rest) and even credit you for your
trouble. This also goes for alternate boss techniques.
AND NEVER FORGET TO TELL ME WHICH FAQ OF MINE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!
I get a lot of mails in which I must guess which FAQ it is we're talking
about, and since I'm very busy as a contributor for GameFAQs, and ocasionally
other sites, I have quite a lot of FAQs here. So it will help me a lot when
I know which FAQ/Game it is you're talking about. :)
And one last thing. Below are remarks I got a lot about my FAQs. Some are
funny, and some are just plainly too stupid for words. I don't want to be
an arrogant bastard or anything, but some of them tire me a lot.
So here are those mails with my standard replies:
M: Fix your English
A: Some people say they hardly hear the diffrence between me and an
English speaking fellow. Others say it sucks. Well, I honestly don't
care in which category you are. English is NOT my first language. If
I spoke my own language you probably couldn't read my FAQs at all.
M: You suck in levelling up
A: I know. I'm a real RPG player. I don't waste my time hours of levelling
up. In my vision that's a sort of cheating. If I wanted to do that,
I'd buy a gameshark. That works a lot faster.
No offense to those who do believe in that.
M: HEY IDIOT! FIX YOUR FAQ!
A: Anyone who sends mail like this won't receive a reply. In fact they
will be banned from ever mailing me again. I can understand you do not
agree with my technique. There are as many as there are people. I can
also agree you detected that I made a mistake. Well, I'm human you know.
Making mistakes is part of my nature, as much as it's yours. If you
detect errors in my FAQ you can tell me about it in a civil way, and
I'll fix it if I agree with you.
M: I took on the bosses you brant HARD on much lower levels with no problem
at all.
A: Good for you.
M: Are you a man? A woman? How old are you? Where do you live?
A: I really got that kind of mails a lot. I don't mind that you know.
I was quite amused by such mails actually.
Well, my name is Jeroen Broks. I'm not going to give my private adres
in this FAQ or anywhere else on the internet, but you may know that
I live in the Netherlands, I am a man, and I was born in 1975. So on
the moment I started on this version of this FAQ I was 31 years old.
M: Fsdasdadasf afsdfasd afdfsaf
A: Whatever you say I don't understand it. If you mail me, please only do
so in either English or Dutch or if you really need in German.
(Be perpared that if you speak German to me, you might get an answer in
English, tough).
I don't speak any other language.
M: May I translate your FAQ into another language?
A: If you ask my permission, mostly no problem
M: Why is Neoseeker banned from hosting your FAQs?
A: I have my reasons which I'm not going to tell.
That's because I want to handle this type of thing as a profesional should
I only noted it to make sure this document would not end up there
unoticed.
M: You know NOTHING about this game or RPG in general?
A: That I know nothing about RPG in general is something you can't say.
I spend 80% of my free time in RPG (which is quite a lot, trust me),
and I even develop them myself for a hobby. And about this game,
trust me when I say that all games I wrote a FAQ about have been played
multiple times from start to finish, and after I completed the FAQ
the game is played over and over again and again, so I can upgrade
the FAQ if I find something new, to make sure my FAQs offer the best
you can get. All games I wrote FAQs about are games I'm very devoted
to. No exceptions. If I am not sure I know the game, I won't write a
FAQ on it.
M: Your FAQs are the greatest!
A: Thanks I'm honored that you speak of my work this way.
M: Thank you for writing this great FAQ!
A: You're welcome ;)
M: Do you have any GameShark/GameGenie codes for game X?
A: No. If you want cheats, you're asking the wrong person!
And so far this FAQ. I hope you have good use for it!
