I"ve heard that there is an alternative ending/solution to DM1 which
involves going back to level 1 and out the front door of the dungeon.
Is there any truth to this rumour or is it a wind-up ?

I tried doing this at one point where I was stuck right before the ending. What happens is that the bad guy (can't recall his name right off hand...) shows up, thanks you for bringing the firestaff to him, blast you dead with a couple of twin fireballs, and (presumable) goes out to conquer the world. At any rate, you're dead so that not a particularly good way to end the game... Mike

RE: RETURNING TO THE ENTRANCE TO THE HALL OF CHAMPIONS WITH THE FIRESTAFF....Yes, this is CERTAINLY NOT the ending you want! There is a way, however, to return to the upper levels with the Firestaff AND the gem intact!! Just assemble the Firestaff and gem and then TURN 180 degrees and THROW the Firestaff through the door to the Gem Room! Now, you can go ANYWHERE! (the FUSE option makes short work of the Water Elementals on the Clockwise Level!)

RE: "the 'bad' guy shows up.....NOPE. This is NOT the bad guy (Chaos) This is the Grey Lord who punishes the Champions for being stupid enough to go all the way back to the beginning. Actually, if you haven't finished the game I won't give anything away....but you'll get the picture at the TRUE ending of the game! -- 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

Ending #1: You die. (By whatever means. You may see this one more than once...) Ending #2: You bring the staff back to the dungeon entrance, Lord Law meets you there, thanks you, and you die. You can't do this unless the staff is without the gem. Ending #3: You put the gem on the staff, go and fuse Lord Chaos, and HE dies. (Well, not really, but that's another story...) Ending #4: You put the gem on the staff, throw it across the room, and go pick it up. When you march back up to the entrance, nothing happens. (The designers didn't forsee this one...)
