In a previous message, I asked how to get past level 27. I recieved three letters in return, informing me that I needed a ring of teleport control, and scroll of teleport, and a potion of confusion. (thanx guys ;-]) Is there NO other way to get past level 27? What if you haven't found a rung of teleport control yet? Is the Minotaur's wand of digging a complete red herring? Thanx in advance, -- Peter Golde

Use wand of digging, from Minotaur, to break apart immovable rocks on the maze level. (Push rocks that can be moved). Under one of these rocks will be a wand of wishing. You can use this if your luck is high enough (go throw some gems at a Unicorn if not, good way to catch up with a unicorn is to drink a potion of speed), to wish for whatever you don't have. (i.e. ring of teleport control). It's also useful to get a potion/wand of levitation, to get over the moat to the hellhound and the Wizard. Any other questions? I "broke" hack at work last summer, when someone made it so a) all items are known and b) after eating a dead giant rat, you go to 31st level. Yes, it was cheating, but yes, it was FUN. -andy -- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Andrew S.

After i few seconds i realized it looked exactly like level 27! I didn't look for another amulet but when i went up, the up staircase was in the same place proving that the two levels we're identical. Pretty weird huh??? Andrew Linder AECOM

Anyway, level 28 is the same as 27, so it wouldn't do any good. Hint: You DO (can) use the wand of digging. You don't have to leave level 27 Search EVERYWHERE (very important) potion of object detection couldn't hurt -- -- Kevin Chu -- !{ucbvax,lll-crg,dual}!ucdavis!vega!ccs020 -- ucdavis!vega!ccs020@ucb-vax.arpa
