Linda, the "Wrath of God" machine is interesting to play with, but I actually went through the game the first two times without bothering with it.. and once you get it working, it's just as dangerous to you as to the Fire Demons... it's not essential to winning the game.. The Winged Key isn't too difficult to get.. you just have to watch out for the Couatls that appear. The key is found in the same large room with pits and Couatls where the lock is... head North and West to find it.. More items appear in the Supplies for the Quick area after you've been up to the Level just under the Corbum bomb pillar for the first time.. also, one of the hidden rooms in the "Supplies.." area will contain better items if you go up first and return to the Supplies area later.. Unfortunately, there ARE no "cheat modes" in the game.. I know of at least two supposed "cheats", and both of them were APRIL FOOLs jokes printed in English games magazines.. the guys at FTL got a big kick out of them when I told them about the "cheats"..! Keep at it... it sounds like you're doing pretty well, in spite of all the dangers you've faced... BobR (You *could* always get a good hintbook, you know.. :)
