This message contains a spoiler for those who have not yet been to the entrance of the DDD area. I have heard that some people who have played CSB have made it through the entire game without meeting CHAOS. Well, you were lucky! I have met him, and to me it seems that I have met him quite early on in the game, because although I have only one Corbum, there he was at the top of the stairs. QUESTION #1 - I started from the entrance to the DDD, this is the DDD stairway which has the "fire pit" creatures on your left and rock creatures on the right, with snakes dead ahead? At the bottom of this set of stairs, facing the stairs let's say - I have the coin-operated room on my left, and a long hallway on my right. If I go down the long hallway, and stay to the stairs near the right, and then climb them , well, there he is. If he doesn't appear at first, he will. And until he appears, there are these giant floating eyes wearing something like a hair net. They are not the problem, cause I can zap them unless they crowd in, however when Chaos appears, he seems to want to block me from entering the area at all. After a few dozen fireballs and such I am forced to retreat down the stairs. I know that there are other stairs, does anyone know if he "guards" the particular set of stairs that I spoke of, or does he just not want me on this level? QUESTION #2: - Concerning the area I mentioned above, where I encountered Chaos, is this the topmost level or is there one more? Question #3: - Concerning the term "Bridge room" - do people mean "an area with pits on both sides", or do they mean "command center"? thanks, great game isn't it?!?!?!? Todd

RE: Questions on CHAOS: OK - I think you may be confused about where you are referring to - you CANNOT get to LEVEL 1 (CHAOS LEVEL) from this part of the dungeon. You can only ascend to this level (there is no other level after the CHAOS LEVEL) from a CORBUM PATH accessed through the DDD. There are stairways up from each CORBUM PATH. I encountered CHAOS throughout the level, except for the area of the NE section. I think he appears randomly. You can repel CHAOS by using one of the following: (1) CROSS OF NETA (2) WAR CRY (3) ANY STAFF THAT HAS THE 'BRANDISH' OPTION. If you bug him enough, he'll warp outa there. Hope I answered all your questions.... -- Stewart Mckinnon - via FidoNet node 1:221/171 UUCP : watmath!xenitec!zswamp!178.0!Stewart.Mckinnon Internet: Stewart.Mckinnon@p0.f178.n221.z1.fidonet.org
