Might and Magic – Swords of Xeen

Might and Magic - Swords of Xeen

GENERAL HINTS:
 
Many of the people and places mentioned below must be freed
somehow or need some items, until they can be found at their
locations. All three towns must be freed to use their shops, so
take care that you kill all monsters outside. Most monsters
cannot cross water . Finally I had two characters with
decreased endurance and hitpoints, don't know where or how
that happened. Restore aged characters at the Well of Youth.
Try to get near harder monsters like dragons without being hit by
their breath, use teleport or walk carefully. Weaken those creatures
by casting 'Mass Distortion'. Be sure to wear the Elder Weapons
when entering the spaceship. Always use the spells 'Day of Protection'
and 'Day of Sorcery', if you have enough gems. I only mentioned the
more important places, some values and enchantments are missing, too,
so there are still some goodies to be found. There are some barrels
increasing attributes, the colors are:
 
Green   -       Endurance
White   -       Luck
Red     -       Might
Orange  -       Intelligence
Blue    -       Personality
Purple  -       Speed
Yellow  -       Accuracy
Black   -       Poison
 
 
You don't need all the spells, which can only be learned from the guild.
There are no spells to be found in the game. You'll probably need:
 
 
CLERIC SPELLS:
 
Awaken          - some of the monsters turn your characters to sleep
Bless           - cast before combat, if you don't have 'Day of Protection'
Cold Ray        - like 'Fireball' of the mages
Create Food     - if you don't control your stats sometimes
Cure Disease
Cure Paralysis
Cure Poison     - I've only been poisoned in game,  you perhaps could spare
                  the other two above
Cure Wounds     - nice for the beginning, if you don't have enough gems and
                  spellpoints
Day of Prot.    - I always casted that, includes Light, Protection from all
                  elements, heroism, holy bonus and bless
Divine Interv.  - Cures whole party of all damages, costs 5 years, until you
                  restore them at the well of youth
Fiery Flail     - nice combat-spell with permanent spellpoint-costs
Heroism         - cast before combat, if you don't have 'Day of Protection'
Holy Bonus      - cast before combat, if you don't have 'Day of Protection'
Mass Distortion - removes half of the hitpoints of your opponent
Power Cure      - effective way of curing party-members
Raise Dead
Revitalize      - later in game you should spend days drinking of a hitpoint-
                  fountain, if you sleep, they're gone, but your party is
                  getting tired, so revitalize 'em, then
Town Portal     - more comfortable way of traveling
Turn Undead     - seems to do some damage to undead creatures
 
 
SORCERER SPELLS:
 
Awaken
Day of Sorcery  - always casted that, includes Light, Levitate, Wizard Eye,
                  Clairvoyance and Power Shield
Energy Blast    - nice spell hitting one creature, grows with the caster
Fire Ball       - you must have it 
Implosion       - more comfortable way of killing monsters
Incinerate      - nice medium damage spell with permanent costs

Mega Volts      - just at the beginning of the game an effectiv spell
Power Shield    - cast before battle, if you don't have 'Day of Sorcery'
Super Shelter   - sometimes makes the rest more easy
Teleport        - sometimes usefull to reach bad-breathing monsters without
                  getting hit too much
Time Distortion - for lazy people, who don't want to move all the way back 
                  or a more honourable way to end combat than being killed
Wizard Eye      - if you don't have 'Day of Sorcery' and fear to overlook
                  something

                  if you step forward at south-east, you'll arrive on a
                  single plate. Then step north, the next one east and
                  the third one south. You'll come to the middle, where
                  you can step ahead to the Underworld, or, if you have
                  pushed the orb to there, catch it.

Finally there are some things to mention, I have found no password for
the terminal at north of level 3 of the spaceship. If there is a right
one, it must have something to do with stars or constellations. Nobody
I know found the hammer of the weapon-smith at sandtown. If you have
no chance against the creatures into the spaceship, be sure to wear
the elder-weapons and visit the fountain at F 5 ( 7 / 4 ) and drink,
until you're drunk for 20.000 hitpoints. You can jump over the areas,
which cause alert. More information about armor and weapons in the
files SOXARM.ZIP and SOXWPN.ZIP in this library.
