***********************************************

You can find a better weapon right away by looking under the kitchen table

drinking from the jug of wine will heal you instantly

drinking water from the chalice will heal 5 hit points

read all of the books in the library to learn about how the game works

balthazar keeps a book in his desk that will suggest some strategies, but some pages are missing.

you can only read the book if you are wearing balthazar's spectacles

the spectacles will also allow you to see some hidden details around the castle

one of the missing pages can be found easily be looking under rhiannon's mattress

the other can be acquired by reading the runes in uzume's room, but only if you've read her tome

putting both missing pages back in balthazar's book will allow you to read the last page

use the sedate spell on your first victims, sleeping mages are easy to hit

your fireflies can aid you in battle

don't go into the west most part of the library if balthazar is still alive in his room

don't go into the dungeon nmaze unless you can fly, have the jailor's key, or have a waypoint in the castle



***********************************************

Balthazar

go after balthazar or lilith first

balthazar is easier to defeat if you sedate him first and summon your fireflies to help you

you have to damage balthazar enough to make him panic and flee before he gets a chance to make you fall down the trap door.

its okay to cheat, if balthazar drops you through the trap-door, you should undo

of you don't want to cheat, you can escape the jail cell by searching the wall, but you'll still be stuck in the dungeon maze unless you can fly, teleport, or have the jailor's key

***********************************************

Lilith

if you sedate lilith before she becomes aggressive you can fight her homunculus

killing her homunculus will cause lilith damage

killing lilith will instantly kill her homunculus

after killing the homunculus attack lilith, she can't charm you if you are fighting her

use her key to unlock her wardrobe to get her tome

her armor is useful, the rest of her clothing is worthless

use stoneskin and fly to improve your armor class

animate anything that looks remotely human

you can enscribe sigils on your golems to summon them, if you have read the summoning tome

***********************************************

Uzume

one way to defeat her is hit and run, attack her and then run away until her elemental dissipates

you can also charm her elementals if you have read the summoning tome

once she has no elementals, uzume is weak in combat

when she teleports away, she appears in her room, fight her there to keep her from escaping

don't summon sacrificed monsters until you need them, they have a limited duration

remember! any elemental that uzume didn't summon can be summoned by you! usually this is only the water and air elementals

***********************************************

Loge

don't fight loge until you are very strong, or let another mage get him

his chest key opens the chest in his room

you can only read one of the five chapters, they each have different strengths and weaknesses

you can only train by fighting the dummy once. use it wisely

***********************************************

Rhiannon

don't fight rhiannon until you are very strong, or let another mage get her

when you are entangled, you are very easy to hit

when you defeat her wear her talisman for protection

earth magic makes for very powerful weapon or armor

use the 'health' spell to compare new weapons, armor, and spells


***********************************************

Ardashir

wear the glasses in the west most room of the great library in order to see the secret book

push the book to open the book case, this leads to the treasury

picking up any treasure will awaken the dragon

ice magic is particularly effective against the dragon

charmed monsters are better to use against ardashir than summoned monsters

place waypoints in the treasury and the throne room, that way you can teleport to pursue ardashir when he flees

remember to banish ardashir's elementals

the jabberwock's sword, or the light magic from loge's book will do extra damage to ardashir

the shadow magic from loge's book reduce any damage taken by you from ardashir's attacks
