Caution! Spoiler follows! I have still to find out how to get the bag of gold from the teleportation room to the left, or how to locate that 'unattainable lever.' Never the less, here is what I wrote: >These are the 'secret' things I've found (had help on a couple of them): > >1) how to get to the teleportation diamond (the one right above where you > start. >2) the first treasure chest >3) Clever bonus >4) both health/extra lives bonus >5) the second monster attraction potion (why we need the second is beyond me) >6) realized you ought to open the chest in the crypt (didn't notice it for > a while, though it's really not very secret) >7) how to make sure the spike gets set up to the right of the teleportation > room door, not the left. > > >If there are any additional 'secrets,' I'd love to hear from you! Step by step instructions follow: Move to your right all the way. Turn left. Hit the two monsters with knives. Get two diamonds Climb ladder, but don't go all the way to the top. Fire while aiming to the right. get off ladder, get fruit Go all the way to the right of the platform jump off (make sure you won't land on the monster) knife it. pull down lever. put lever up again (step 1 for getting teleportation gem) get diamond, get gold climb ladder do not go all the way up make sure head is below the level the monster spits fire knife it while still on ladder get gem ignore lever; you need the key go all the way to the left until the three monsters appear get back on ladder go all the way to the top of ladder knife them from there Jump onto next ledge, turn immediately to the right knife the two birds get off platform; get gem and knife upgrade get on platform; get gem ease to the left until 3 birds appear knife them. move all the way to the left turn immediately to the right knife the two monsters that appear get diamond they leave head back to the left. knife the two monsters when they are right at the edge do this when you're as close as possible to them and can still throw knives immediately jump up and get the diamond they leave before it disappears while jumping, hit fire button so you can knife the monster above and to your left. jump onto platform on upper right move slowly to the right knife the 3 monsters and 1 bird that appear (they appear in that order) get treasures move back to the left and pull down lever (leave this lever down until later; it will be referred to as 'L3' later) jump to the left and get diamond and key go back to the armory pull down lever. put lever back up (step 2 to get teleportation gem) enter armory go no further than the knife immediately fire to the right with out moving right you should get the fire spitting face without being attacked get the skull, key, and fireball icon leave armory Get onto the left platform keep going to the left get onto the next left platform then get onto right platform (the one with the highest lever so far) get to right edge of that platform jump up and to the right stay on left edge of that platform hit the first bird coming at you from the right immediately turn to the left and get the two birds coming from the left go down and get the treasures they drop Get back up to the platform keep going to the right and hit the fire spitting face make sure you duck if it spits fire at you Go up ladder cautiously head to the left. as soon as the monsters appear, get the two coming from your right immediately turn to the left and get those coming from that direction get the treasures ignore the first lever pull down the second (middle of the three) lever get the treasures ignore the other levers and go back down to lever 'L3.' put the lever back up go down to the teleport room kill the one monster from above get the treasures you will be teleported up head to your right pull down the up levers, killing whatever monsters appear after the third lever is down, a treasure chest will appear get the key and walk over it make sure no treasures go through the floor - try to get them when they are still in the air go down if they go through the floor go to the left get the spitting face from below (your arced weapons should reach that high climb the ladder until your head is below the level of the fire the monster on the right spits knife it open treasure room get everything within leave treasure room climb ladder and destroy the two monsters as outlined above go to shop door pull lever enter room Bonus should appear if all is going well, you ought to have around 29050 by now go half way to the potion drop everything you have - you can pick it up later and you need the space to hold what you buy (if you play it safe) You ought to have 17185 points if all went well buy 3 shields if you want to play it safe *or* buy 1 life, 1 shield, and density/food depending on your need if you're real good and want max points (you get points for extra lives) Note: in this case you need not drop anything prior to entering shop exit shop climb ladder deal with the creatures to the left first do this by jumping onto the first pedestal to get a further -> jump up to the upper left...as you do this, a creature will appear. knife it fast when on the next higher platform, a monster will appear from the right of the platform knife it. jump down and get those on your right first if you have more than one shield, use it before entering here get the key (and, of course, all treasures) deal with the creatures on your right kill the first two, but after getting the shield, go down to where the potion for summoning the shop keeper was let the third one go all the way to the left, then follow it to the right make sure when you knife it, it is to the right of the lever for the teleport room. also get the fire spitting face go into the teleport room Note: as you were following the third monster, an extra lives bonus should have fallen on you go to the right side of the teleport room first ignore the monster attracting potion for now pull the lever now is the time to use a shield, as the monsters use fireballs destroy them get all treasures pull down the lever all the way to the left ignore the middle one pull down the lever all the way to the right pick up the potion go to the gem all the way to the left pull the lever drop the potion under the platform, or anywhere else; just make sure the monster doesn't fall on you! get the urn and potion pull the lever for the gem leave the teleportation room a clever bonus gem should fall on you. if not, keep edging to the right until it does drop the potion outside of the room walk to the left a second potion should drop (I have no idea why you need ANY potions at this point...perhaps only points) go past the ladder to the left jump up to the platform where the -> appeared edge all the way as far as you can to the right of that platform jump up and to the right to get to the crypt door if you presently are carrying all three items, a key will fall this is a tricky part here if you still have a shield, use it now As you move to the right, a monster will appear from the right you can knife it and still have time to duck its fire spit then, two birds will appear to your left turn and knife them as you proceed slowly to the right, another bird from the left will appear quickly turn and knife it keep going to the right another bird will appear from the right as soon as it does, rush back to the left, quickly turn to the right, and knife it if you stay still while it approaches, it will come down upon you from above where you'd have to jump to hit it. but jumping would put you forwards and more birds would appear keep going to the right a health will appear, as well as another bird this one goes low also, as above, quickly move to the left as soon you get the health then turn and knife it Make a running start to the skull. land on it... this will nuke the birds, but knife them anyways just to be sure don't stop when you hit the skull keep running to the right so that all birds get nuked (assuming you want max points, of course. if not, you can unlock the door and ignore all the extra birds) There should be no more monsters now. get all three items into the crypt you'll need to drop one to get the key, but when the key is used, you can gather all three when you enter with all three, treasure should fall go back out and bring in the potions for more points open the treasure chest for max points get all treasures After the crypt door is opened, a health icon will drop to the right of the door when you walk to the right edge. There is a hidden room I just now discovered!!! look for the stones that seem irregular push those in there should be two; one where you dealt with the creature to the left and one where you dealt with the creatures to the right push those in, and make sure all levers are up a hidden room should appear to the right of that spike; behind the fire spitting face go down, and discover simple treasures for yourself! You can finish with a total of (count them!) *8* lives! I finished with 108917 points, my highest ever...I will get back to all with more solutions, if any appears. - PFREY@DREW.BITNET */ I know this is hastily written, but if you've been over the demo a few times, it should make more sense.
