[comp.sys.amiga.games] Dungeon Master hint wanted

dsmith@spam.ua.oz.au (David Smith) (05/20/91)

I've been playing Dungeon Master for a little while now, and was really
enjoying it until I came to a dead end. I am on level 2, and have just
disposed of my second monster -- a screamer. The screamer was behind
a locked door, which I used my last key to open. But just behind
the screamer is ANOTHER locked door which I can't seem to open. There
are no keys left, I have tried all sorts of (random) spells to no avail,
and mapping the dungeon and examining everything in sight hasn't helped 
a bit. There are no other unopened doors around, so without opening this
one I am stuck.

Anyone out there willing to help out a DM newbie to get further
in this great game? Please email -- it's hardly worth wasting the
bandwidth on the solution to a problem which I am sure is perfectly 
obvious to all but myself! :-)

Dave.

Yep.  I'll help.  I haven't devoted much time to the game since Easter
and then it was only to get through level 3 .  At present I don't have
my maps with me HOWEVER at the moment I would suggest starting again
and attack the rooms in a different order.  There was one time when
I started ALL OVER AGAIN just to have a party with plenty of food by
the time I got to where I was before so that I could waste a little more
time.  Yes, I got stuck but then realised it was because of how I tackled
the rooms.
