I just got hack working on Friday. One weekend later, I have 2 questions. Are you guaranteed to get a dog-whistle somewhere on level one? And is there any sneaky trick to avopid getting killed by your own ghost on level 3 or so? -- Laura Creighton sun!l5!laura (that is ell-five, not fifteen) l5!laura@lll-crg.arpa

The secret(at least until you are really tough) is to wake up the ghost and get it to chase you to the farthest corner of the dungeon and then double back and pick up the loot it left behind. This works 'cause ghosts move only about half speed. -- Sarima (Stanley Friesen) UUCP: {ttidca|ihnp4|sdcrdcf|quad1|nrcvax|bellcore|logico}!psivax!friesen ARPA: ttidca!psivax!friesen@rand-unix.arpa

Play a Tourist and blind the ghost with your camera's flash gun. (This is the Tourist's solution to all problems. It works pretty well.) You *can* kill ghosts, but it's difficult. I don't bother. -- Robert Plamondon UUCP: {turtlevax, resonex, cae780}!weitek!robert FidoNet: 10/624 robert plamondon

Get it to follow you up the stairs, lose it and go back down again. It is quite easy to kill ghosts by throwing things (darts, arrows etc.). You have to do this again and again. After a while it works - and gets you lots of experience + big treasure !!!!
