Massive spoiler for Faery Tale Adventure. Each point should be separated by CTRL-L's so you can stop when you've had enough. CHEAT SPOILERS: First, when it gets dark, turn up the brightness on the monitor. Works like a charm (or jewel) every time... Save and Load at will. The best trick is to save, do a totem, and then reload your guy. That way you waste no totems. STATUE 1: The first statue you want to get is at the Isle of Sorcery. You need the turtle to get over there. If you don't know how to get the turtle, then look real hard at the map... You need a few blue keys, too. The big bug is that everytime you "Talk" to the sorceress at the castle there, your luck goes up, to a max of 65. So everytime your luck is running low, just motor back to the isle and get re-luckified. The statue is with the sorceress. DRAGON: The next step is to get the wand of dragon breath from the dragon. Check out the ice mountains. STATUE 2 The second statue is at the grimwood. Use plenty of totems to find some discolorations in a clearing -- thats the statue. WITCH When you totem in grimwood, you can see these little purple marks. Those are cave mouths. Turn the brightness up real high on the monitor, and you can see two up in the north west section of woods. Go to the lower cave mouth to get to the upper one. The upper one leads to the witch's place -- you can toast her with the dragon wand (heh heh). SWAN: Take the goodie from the witch, and turtle over to swan island, where you can get a swan. PRINCESS: Swan down to a keep that is surrounded by mountains about 1 inch west and 1 inch north of the lower right corner of the map. Rescue the princess. STATUE 3: Somewhere in Marheim you get statue 3. STATUE 4: Lying in seahold castle (bottom right of map) is a statue. STATUE 5: Go to Hemsath's tomb: Lying in a room in the maze area is a statue. BONE: In Hemsath's tomb is a bone too. Grab it. SHARD: Bring the bone to the crypt house (in the graveyard right by Tambry) at Midnight. Get shard in return. HIDDEN CITY: Right where it says "AZAL" on the map, in the burning wastes, is the hidden city. If you don't do a totem, it will show up (weird...). Inside the hidden city there is a rose. CITADEL OF DOOM: The Citadel is in the mountains around the plain of grief, right above the letter "H" in holm (at the bottom of the map) about an inch above the letter. Do plenty of totems. The Rose lets you walk over lava. The Shard lets you through the force field (I think). Go through the teleporter to the land of OZ (almost...) Beware of ice patches. Use wand to defrock the b*stard. Take Talisman and fondle princess. End of Game. BIG BUG: There is a bug in the map by the citadel of doom. If you are really fast you can skirt by the lava and get on that ledge by the door. Thus you really don't need the rose to win. Which means that you don't need to find the 5 statues because you don't have to find the hidden city. Which means you don't have to kill the witch, figure out the swan, save the princess, or even go to the sorceress. All you need is the dragon wand and the shard. Gotta love it. -- Dan Green -- ARPA: hsgj@tcgould.tn.cornell.edu UUCP: ihnp4!cornell!batcomputer!hsgj BITNET: hsgjIDEecora@v
