 II.  INTRODUCTION
=============================================================================

---------------------------
 A. Emperor’s Exhortation
---------------------------
Once, my kingdom knew peace.  Now it only knows evil.  Renegade forces have 
infested my realm, destroying Kodan’s second largest city.  Their 
provocations continue unabated, threatening the safety of my people and 
making travel unsafe in many parts on my kingdom.

They approach the seat of my power, lurking insolently in the catacombs under 
my castle.  At the head of the devilry is an outcast wizard.  Plans to 
dispatch him have failed, as he has set up magical barriers that have 
befuddled even my most experienced scouting parties.

As the ninth Emperor of the Kingdom of Kodan, I call upon you, brave 
adventurers, to seek out the source of this living malice and restore calm 
and civility to Kodan.  For you success, I promise these riches:  100,000 
pieces of gold and choice southern lands for each member of your party.  
Beyond these, you will bring honor to your family name, a name which will be 
repeated through the centuries with great reverence.

Whether you are driven by ancestral duty or adventurous desire, go forth with 
fortune in your future.  Be diligent in your journey.  Gird yourself for 
battle, recover from the setbacks that may befall you, and above all, 
pleasure in the nobility of your cause.  Remember, he who fights and dies is 
honored, but he who fights and lives is honored and rewarded.

Emperor Nakamoto

----------------------------------
 B. Greetings from the Deathlord
----------------------------------
Stupid adventurers!  Your weak party is not enough to stop even my most 
slack-spined drone.  I would encourage you to stay in the security of your 
little homes, but I thrive on misery and dread.  Your futile quest to stop me 
is sure to yield just that.  Even if you defeat my lowly pawn, you still must 
answer to me, face to face.

Should you insist on pursuing this fatal course, I offer these clues:  seven 
words, six items, and your ineptitude prevent us from meeting.

Go now.  And prepare to embrace your Emperor in my hell.
	
---------------
 C. Your goal
---------------
Your goal in Deathlord is to identify and defeat the source of evil loose in 
the world of Lorn.  If you succeed, you’ll earn the gratitude of the Emperor 
of Kodan and his promised reward.  To do this, you need to collect clues and 
articles.  You also need to build up your party, gathering strength and 
knowledge to help you accomplish your aims.



=============================================================================
 III.  CHARACTERS
=============================================================================
	
----------------------
 A. Creating a Party
----------------------
Assembling an effective party of adventurers is crucial for success.  Each 
party can have from one to six members.

 1.   Preset Party
--------------------
When you first start Deathlord for the first time, six adventurers await your 
command.  If you're an inexperienced player, you may want to use them to 
sample Deathlord before you send your newly-crafted characters into the lap 
of a demon.  Once you're familiar with how Deathlord works and know the types 
of adventurers you want, you can replace them.  Even if you're an experienced 
player, you can use this party to get an idea of the scope of the game.

-----------------------------
 B. Creating new characters
-----------------------------
When you create new characters, you choose such things as race, class, 
alignment, and sex.  As you assemble your group of adventurers, be sure that 
each character complements the party.  A proper mix of warriors and magic-
bearers makes a well-rounded party that has the option of using muscles or 
magic.  Add a thief to pick a lock or two, and the party could have the 
gratitude of the Emperor in no time.

 1. Races
-----------
The first step in creating a character is to pick from one of the eight 
races.

Human             Humans are hardy and strong, which, incidentally, makes 
                  them the predominant race in Lorn.  Of all the races, only 
                  Humans can be a member of any class.

Toshi             Toshis are intelligent, which makes them good magic users. 
                  They may be physically weak, but they've got long lives.

Nintoshi          The Nintoshi is a hybrid of Human and Toshi, being smarter 
                  than the former and stronger than the latter.

Kobito            This dour, durable race has magnificent stamina.  Although 
                  they aren't large, they are strong and tough.  Kobitos 
                  prefer to avoid the magic arts since they have a tough time 
                  casting spells.  They're best as fighters or thieves.

Gnome             The Gnome is like the Kobito but has a greater respect for 
                  nature and is more social.  Gnomes also like to use magic, 
                  with Genkai high on class potential.

Obake             The Obake is a darker and dumber version of the Toshi.  
                  Tiny and nimble, they make fine thieves and assassins.

Troll             These homely humanoids are strong but fairly slow-witted 
                  for spell casting.  Senshi is the best class for them, but 
                  if truly desired, you can make a Troll a Shisai.

Ogre              A hybrid species of Human and Troll, the Ogre is stronger 
                  than the Human and brighter than the Troll.  They're 
                  usually fighters and thieves, but can also become decent 
                  Shisais.

 2. Attributes
----------------
All characters have seven mental and physical attributes, each ranging from a 
value of 3 to 21.  While values are distributed randomly, you have a measure 
of control over each character's values when you create your party.  During 
the course of play, a character's attributes will rise and fall as events 
occur.

Strength          The amount of damage your character can inflict on an 
(STR)             opponent during combat.  You'll want to make your fighting 
                  character strong.

Constitution      Your character's health and, ultimately, his or her ability 
(CON)             to survive.  A character with a higher Constitution is 
                  tougher to kill.

Size              Fighters tend to be large while magic-users are small.  Big 
(SIZ)             characters are better at smashing down doors and doing 
                  other things where greater mass is an advantage.

Intelligence      A character's mental capacity.  High Intelligence for magic 
(INT)             users improves their spellcasting abilities and lets them 
                  recover Power faster.

Dexterity         Agility and nimbleness.  High Dexterity helps your 
(DEX)             character avoid hits and land the first blow during combat.  
                  Dexterity is also important to thieves for success in 
                  picking locks, avoiding traps, and stealing merchandise.

Charisma          Your character's physical beauty and persuasive abilities, 
(CHA)             which can affect transactions and negotiations.

Power             A character's magical aptitude.  It's important to 
(POW)             spellcasters since Power determines the number of spells 
                  that they can cast.  Power is consumed one a one-to-one 
                  ratio (i.e. a 4th level spell costs 4 power points).
	
 3. Classes
-------------
The classes you get to choose from depend on the character's race and 
attributes (see Options charts below).

Senshi            The ultimate mercenaries, Senshi hire out to any mission 
                  that pays well.  The combat-hungry Senshi can wear any 
                  armor and use any weapon.

Kishi             These noble warriors are dedicated to the principles of 
                  honor, justice, and order.  They also enjoy casting a 
                  Shisai spell or two.

Ryoshi            This solitary class of scouts and trackers is skilled with 
                  all types of weapons, although they favor bows and axes.  
                  For maximum mobility, they should wear light armor.  Ryoshi 
                  enjoy working with Shizen orders.

Yabanjin          Northern and primitive to the core, Yabanjin are 
                  instinctive survivalists and tough in a fight.  What they 
                  lack in technique, they make up for in sheer meanness.  
                  Yabanjin shun heavy armor.

Kichigai          Come battle time, Kichigais go into a frenzy which gives 
                  them great strength, but leaves them prone to attacks from 
                  opponents.  Like the Yabanjin, they avoid heavy, 
                  restrictive armor.

Samurai           Another honorable order, the Samurai takes pride in his or 
                  her fighting technique.  Samurais reach their skill peak 
                  with special weapons of honor.

Ronin             Ronins are corrupt brutes who look out only for themselves.  
                  They enjoy a kicking, gouging fight where they can employ 
                  dirty tricks.  A patron deity supplies the evil Ronin with 
                  a few Shisai spells.

Yakuza            The cunning Yakuza is best at lockpicking and trap-
                  neutralizing and not so good at fighting.  For 
                  extracurricular activities, the Yakuza enjoys stealing from 
                  merchants.

Ansatsusha        These assassins are better fighters than the Yakuza and 
                  also have a greater selection of weapons.  They possess 
                  limited thieving abilities.

Ninja             The Ninjas are specialists in hand-to-hand combat, as 
                  befits a secret order.  They also aren't too bad with 
                  conventional weapons.

Shukenja          These disciples of holiness resemble Ninjas in makeup, but 
                  train for enlightenment and not assassination.  Less 
                  skilled than the Ninja in combat, the Shukenja compensates 
                  with some spell-casting abilities.

Shisai            Shisai of different lands share common rituals and spells.  
                  They use medium-weight armor and smooth weapons, and can 
                  cast many curative and protective spells.

Shizen            A secretive class, Shizens like the outdoors, drawing from 
                  nature to cast spells.  Metal armor cuts their casting 
                  power, so they usually don leather armor.

Mahotsukai        This rare class is highly respected.  They may be weak 
                  fighters, but they have a variety of potent spells to 
                  neutralize and slay opponents.

Genkai            The Genkai confuses and befuddles opponents with a variety 
                  of illusions.  Their numbers are fewer than the Mahotsukai.

Kosaku            The peasant Kosakus are the untouchables of the realm--
                  mainly because nobody would care to touch them.
	
 4. Alignment
---------------
In most cases, there are three alignments to choose from:  good, neutral, or 
evil.  Alignment has some bearing on what characters can be put together in a 
group.  Characters who are innately good or evil will have their alignments 
assigned automatically.

 5. Sex
---------
The character's sex has little bearing on his or her abilities to carry out a 
task.  Female fighters are just as capable of handing a dragon its head as 
male fighters.

 IV.  COMMANDS AND ONSCREEN ACTIVITIES
=============================================================================
You can use the following commands almost anywhere.  In most commands, the 
program assumes that the party leader is performing the action unless you 
indicate that another character will act by entering his or her roster 
number.

-------------
A. Commands
-------------

Key         Command           Description
=============================================================================
A           Attack            Press this key and a direction to initiate 
                              combat.  During combat, just press "A" to 
                              return attack.

B           Board/Disembark   This command either helps your party leave land 
                              for a waiting (and friendly) ship or disembarks 
                              them onto dry land.  Follow up the command with 
                              a direction.

B           Break Camp        This removes your party from a pitched camp.

C           Cast              This puts your character into a spell-casting 
                              mode.  You'll be queried for a character number 
                              and then a spell name, which you must type in 
                              full.  You can also press  and "?" 
                              simultaneously to get a list of the spells that 
                              character can use.  Next to the word "cast" 
                              you'll see a value for Power.  The more spells 
                              you cast, the lower it gets.  You can't cast 
                              certain spells unless you have enough Power.

D           Drop E/F/G/T      Enter "D" and then the letter of the type of 
                              item you want dropped (E=equipment, F=food, 
                              G=gold, T=torches).  Once you drop something, 
                              it's gone for good; you can't change your mind 
                              and pick it back up.

E           Enter             Press "E" and a direction key to pass through 
                              something.  An area doesn't have to be visible 
                              to be enterable.

F           Search            Press "F" and then enter a direction to search 
                              the area for traps, secret doors, or anything 
                              unusual.

F           Flee              Use this if you'd like your party to make a run 
                              for it.  The sooner you use this command during 
                              combat, the better your chances are that you'll 
                              get to flee.

G           Get item          This command opens chests, coffins, and 
                              coffers, removes money from urns, and steals 
                              from a merchant's counter.  Press "G" and then 
                              a direction.

H           Hide              Hide may (or may not) successfully hide the 
                              party from monsters.  While hiding, any new 
                              actions will reveal the party and their 
                              position.

I           North             Use this to move your party up one space.

J           West              Moves your party one space left.

K           East              Moves your party one space right.

L           Light Torch       Type "L" and any character's roster number.  If 
                              the character you choose has a torch, he or she 
                              will light it.

M           South             This moves the party one space down.

N           New Leader        Type "N" followed by a character's roster 
                              number to establish a new party leader.  His or 
                              her shape now represents the party.

N           Negotiate         Lets a character negotiate with a monster.  Can 
                              range from offering food to unabashed pleading.  
                              The monster may leave, ask for money and then 
                              leave, or ask for money and still attack.

O           Orate             To communicate with a character outside the 
                              party, press "O" and a direction key.  (This is 
                              a great way to pick up clues for play.)  At the 
                              prompt "Type", enter one of the following 
                              options.

                              B)  Buy     purchases merchandise in a shop.

                              S)  Sell    sells excess or unwanted items in a 
                                          shop.

                              C)  Chat    stimulates casual conversation with 
                                          someone .

                              T)  Talk    attemps to get information from 
                                          someone.

                              I)  Inquire causes "Re" (short for "regarding") 
                                          to appear; type in the subject of 
                                          interest to get specific 
                                          information.

                              OG)OfferGold  offers a sum of money to someone 
                                            who says "Pay up".
                              OI)OfferItem  offers a piece of equipment or an 
                                            item to someone.

                              A character stays in the oratory mode until you 
                              press RETURN without entering information or 
                              press ESC.

P           Pick Lock         Enter "P" and then a direction to have a 
                              character (with the right tools) try to pick a 
                              lock.

CTRL-P      Pitch Camp        This lets you camp for 1 to 24 hours.  Time 
                              goes faster when you pitch camp, enabling your 
                              characters to recover hit points and Power 
                              quicker.  Use this also to wait out the night 
                              hours.  But don't sleep too soundly--you can 
                              still be attacked while you camp.

Q           Saving Game       Use this to save your game at any time except 
                              during combat (You should stick out your 
                              battles for experience, anyway).

R           Read              Press "R" followed by a direction key to read a 
                              sign.

R           Retreat           Moves the character whose turn it is to the 
                              back of the group on the next round.  Good for 
                              injured characters.

S           Smash             Press "S" and a direction to have your 
                              character try to smash against a surface (like 
                              a door).  There's a damage penalty for failure.

S           Skip              Causes the current character, and those after 
                              him or her, to skip their attacks.  Handy if 
                              your spellcasters (grouped together at the end 
                              of the roster) need a rest but the fighters 
                              want to keep battling.  In this case, press 
                              "S" when you get to the spellcasters.

T           Give E/F/G/T      This lets you pass an item.  Type "T" and then 
                              the letter of the kind of item you want to pass 
                              (E=equipment, F=food, G=gold, T=torch).  You're 
                              then asked who's getting the item and who's 
                              giving it.  Remember, you can only hold so 
                              much, so if you transfer something to someone 
                              who already carries a full load, he or she will 
                              automatically drop an item.

U           Use               Press "U" and return.  Then type in the number 
                              of the character whom you want to use 
                              something.  Next, you'll get a list of items 
                              that are available for use.  Choose a piece of 
                              equipment with the arrow keys.  A number after 
                              an item name indicates the number of charges it 
                              has.  Double asterisks (**) after a name mean 
                              that its use is unlimited.

V           View              Follow view with a direction to get information 
                              on the adjacent object or character.

W           Ready Weapons     Select "W" and then the letter of the type of 
                              weapon you want to ready (O for open hands, H 
                              for hand weapon, and M for missile weapon).

X           Exchange          Exchange lets characters swap equipment with 
                              each other.  Press "X", indcate who's getting 
                              and who's giving, and M for missile weapon).

Y           Yell              Enter "Y" and then any word that the character 
                              wants to say.  During your journey, you'll find 
                              special words that the characters will want to 
                              yell, sometimes in relation to a spell.

Z           Drink             Press "Z", a character number, and a direction 
                              to slake a thirst in a dungeon waterhole.

1                             Displays statistics for character 1.

2                             Displays statistics for character 2.

3                             Displays statistics for character 3.

4                             Displays statistics for character 4.

5                             Displays statistics for character 5.

6                             Displays statistics for character 6.

RETURN                        Displays statistics for the party leader.

ESC                           Aborts any action started but not completed.

CTRL-A                        Use this to assign macros (up to four).  A 
                              macro is a string of commands that can be 
                              executed by a single key stroke.  Type "CTRL-
                              A" and then assign the macro to a number from 1 
                              to 4.  Next, enter the commands you want in 
                              succession.  The comma(,) works as a  
                              within a macro command.  For example:  "C, 
                              NASU," would cause whoever was the party leader 
                              to cast a Nasu spell.  It would execute as 
                              follows:  "Cast-1" appears followed by "Name:" 
                              and then "NASU".  "C3NASU," is the same except 
                              that only the third character on the roster 
                              will cast the spell.  You can have up to 15

#           Reorder           Use this to change the order of the party 
                              characters.  Enter "#" followed by a number 
                              from 1 to 6.  The character is moved to 
                              wherever the highlighted box is.

$           Pool Gold         This lets you take the gold from other members 
                              of the party and add it to the sum of the 
                              character indicated (up to his maximum carrying 
                              capacity).  Any excess remains in the 
                              possession of the original character.  The 
                              character whose name is highlighted will give 
                              the gold.  Enter "$" followed by the number of 
                              the character who will get the gold.

:           Time Lag          Lets you set the length of the delay between 
                              the displaying of information in combat.  Enter 
                              any value from 0 to 255; the higher the slower.

Space Bar                     This key causes the party to wait and do 
                              nothing for one move, or forfeit a move in 
                              combat.

^                             This helps a character climb out of a pit after 
                              he or she has had the misfortune of faling into 
                              one.

-------------------------
 B. Onscreen Activities
-------------------------
When you're done creating characters and enter the world of Lorn, you'll see 
a screen full of information.  The upper right box shows the time, and the 
sun and moon cycles.  Underneath that box is your group's name.

The center right box lists the names of those in your party in their roster 
order.  Beneath that is the name of your location (i.e. indoor or outdoor).  
If you're engaged in combat, this area tells you what type of enemy your 
opponent is and how many there are.

The bottom right box shows information related to the commands your choose.  
If you're in the midst of a fight, it shows attacks made by you and your 
opponent.  To change the speed at which the messages scroll by, use the ":" 
command to change the time lag.


 1. Statistics
----------------
During the course of play, you can examine your character's attributes and 
the items he or she possesses.  Enter the number that represents the 
character's order in the party.  (If you hit  without selecting a 
number, you'll see the party leader's statistics.)  First you'll see a 
general description of the character.  Press  (or the space bar) to 
see the seven attributes.  Press  again and you'll see the 
character's possessions.  (If he or she has no possessions, you'll bypass 
this screen.)  Press  one last time to see the listing for armor, 
gold, torches, and food.  The maximum values for these four items are:  
armor=10, gold=10,000, torches=10, and food=100.

 2. Party Leader
------------------
To make playing a little easier, you designate a party leader who 
automatically performs all actions.  The party leader is the one whose name 
is highlighted on the roster.  You can change it by pressing "N" and then the 
number of the character you want to be the new leader.  Having a party leader 
doesn't mean that the fate of the group lies in the hands of one, because you 
can override the party leader and have any character perform any action at 
any time.

Let's say you want a lock picked.  There's two ways to do it.  1) Press "P" 
for Pick Lock and then enter a direction that the attempt will be made.  The 
party leader automatically picks the lock since you didn't designate a 
character to do it.  2) Press "P," enter a character number from 1 to 6, and 
then enter the direction that the attempt will be made.  The character you 
chose does the work in this case.

 3. Time
----------
Time passes at about one Deathlord hour for every five real minutes.  The 
more actions you perform, the faster time passes. (You can expedite matters 
by pressing the SPACE BAR repeatedly.)  At about 6:00 p.m. the sun begins to 
set.  When the sun goes down and darkness dims your way, you can either camp 
out for the night or light a torch and keep going.  Sunrise begins at about 
4:00 a.m.


=============================================================================
 V.  EQUIPMENT
=============================================================================
You'll come across many pieces of equipment, some mundane, some magical.  A 
few items are relics of exceptional power which the character must accumulate 
in order to solve the game.  These items are preceded by a double asterisk 
(**) and may not be sold.  Some have to be traded to receive a more powerful 
item.

Some equipment can't be used by certain individuals.  Note that although a 
character may not use certain equipment, he or she may still carry it.  Make 
use of this fact by giving any extra armor you find to a designated "holder" 
such as a Shisai or Mahotsukai.

A character can carry only one of each of the following items:
hand weapon (i.e. a sword)
missile weapon (i.e. a bow)
armor
shield
miscellaneous armor
miscellaneous item (i.e. lockpick or holy symbol)
jewelry
scroll

-----------------------
 A. Weapons and Armor
-----------------------
You can buy the following items in various weapon shops.  When a character 
buys armor, he or she automatically wears it.  If the character is already 
wearing armor, he or she is forced to drop it unless it's first given to 
someone else.  The table shows what class of characters can use which weapons 
and armor.  Magical items are not listed.

Any class surrounded by parentheses means that class can't equip the item.

 B. Items
-----------
Besides weapons and armor, your characters also carry miscellaneous items.  
They are Gold Pieces, Food, and Torches.  The maximum amount of money one 
character may carry is 10,000 GP.  Maximum food supplies may not exceed 100.  
Although characters do not die of hunger, you should not ignore low food 
supplies.  Food allows characters to slowly gain lost hit point through the 
passage of time.  In addition, magic users' power points (POW) are regained 
in time.

There are many items to be found in Deathlord.  Some more valuable than 
others.  

 1. Item list
---------------
Lockpick
Holy symbol
Scroll-Cure
Scroll-Heal
Scroll-Raise
Scroll-Ward
Torch

--------------------------------
 C. Six Relics and Seven Words
--------------------------------
In order to complete Deathlord, you will need to find 6 relics and 7 words.  
The relics are found around the world and are needed to win the game.

Found in dungeons, the words are distinct from other messages because they
are centered in the text box.  7 words are required to pass through the gates 
of Hell.  The words are hidden deep within 7 different dungeons, each 
offering its own tricks and traps.  Be warned as these words are usually 
located in an obscure location inside the dungeon.  Miss anything and you 
will be unable to finish the game.  There is also the 7th relic that is the 
proof of your final victory.

 7 Relics
-----------
Name                  Location
=============================================================================
Black Orb             Skull Keep.  Fight the Deathlord for it.
Blue Crystal          Lost Lagoon (search the ground around the mahotsukai 
                           that says "Look at all the crystals!")
Emerald Rod           Sultan's Palace on Akmihr.  Search the southeast tower.
Lantern               Greenbanks (search around a tombstone)
Ruby Ring             Red Shogun's Castle (need blue crystal)
Sharktooth            Malkanth (search the Shrine of Chaos)
Sunspear              Twin Rivers (exchange a blue crystal to Senju)

7 relics' uses
----------------
Black Orb         Given to the Emperor.  End game sequence will begin.
Blue Crystal      Permits passage through Rakhammon's curtain.  Curtain will
                       still do 4 dmg to all members though.
Emerald Rod       Casts "Santate".  Effective against demons.
Lantern           Illuminates lvl 1-4 of the 7 Gates of Hell dungeon.  All
                       other light sources will fizzle in those lvls.
Ruby Ring         Casts "Hitate".
Sharktooth        Permits party to locate Hell Island on the map.

 VI.  SPELLS
=============================================================================
Each of the four character classes of magic users has a large repertoire of 
spells.  The spells that a magic user can cast depend on his or her level.  
The following chart shows what level a magic user must be in order to cast 
any spells at that level or lower.  The fighter-mages learn spells at a 
slower rate than the mages.

            Magic User’s Level            Highest Accessibility Spell Level
                  1                                      1
                  3                                      2
                  6                                      3
                  10                                     4
                  14                                     5
                  19                                     6
                  24                                     7

Power is an extremely important aspect of spellcasting.  You’ll notice that 
when you press "C", Power appears in brackets next to the word "cast."  The 
more spells you cast, the lower this number gets.  Be sure to keep an eye on 
it; you may need to cast a healing spell worth four Power points, but to your 
surprise find you only three points left.  Remember, power regenerates with 
time and rest.

-------------------
 A. Shisai Spells
-------------------
The Shisai spells are mostly protective and curative in nature.

Level       Spell       Description
=============================================================================
1           Nasu        Calls on power of patron diety to repair 1 to 8 hit 
                        points of damage on a character, including the 
                        caster.  Does not cure the dead or petrified, nor 
                        will it cure diseases.

            Akari       Causes the air around the caster to give off a pale 
                        blue glow.  Allows players to see more than a torch 
                        would show.  Only effective in the still air of 
                        dungeons.  Lasts roughly 195 "waits."

            Katai       Provides selected character with protective aura 
                        during combat, making him or her harder to hit.  
                        Effects are cumulative.

2           Motu        Paralyzes 1 to 3 opponents for a time dependent on 
                        the caster.  Each monster gets a chance to resist the 
                        spell.

            Dosoi       Slows effects of poison.  Halves hit point loss until 
                        poison is neutralized or character dies.

            Tsuiho      Causes undead (ghouls, zombies, skeletons, etc.) in
                        vicinity to flee.  Creatures may try to resist the 
                        spell’s influence.  One of the few offensive Shisai 
                        spells.

3           Moakari     Lights up a larger area than the Akari spell.  Works 
                        only in still air of dungeons.  Lasts roughly 300 
                        "waits."
	
            Motunasu    Helps paralysis victim recover limb use.  A Shisai 
                        who is paralyzed will not be able to cast this spell.

            Onkei       Blesses entire party during combat and endows 
                        adventurers with better fighting ability.

4           Donasu      Eradicates toxins from recipient’s body.  Subdues 
                        strongest poisons but doesn’t restore points lost to 
                        the venom strike.

            Monasu      Restores from 17 to 32 hit points of damage.  Monasu 
                        works like Nasu, only better.

            Makatai     Casts a globe of defensive aura around the party, 
                        affording them some protection from attack for the 
                        duration of the melee.

5           Hinagu      Shoots tower of flames into air and burns offending
                        monsters.  Potency of spell depends on caster’s 
                        level.

            Inochi      Restores life--but not vitality--in a slain 
                        character.  Those restored permanently lose a point 
                        of constitution and are restored to one hit point.  
                        Success of spell depends on character’s constitution.  
                        Try Moinochi if this fails.

            Honasu      Restores from 33 to 64 hit points to a character.  A
                        stronger version of Monasu.

6           Alnasu      Most powerful curative spell available.  Heals all 
                        damage a character has sustained.  Top of the Shisai 
                        line.

            Kurenza     Blasts all enemies to pieces at the very intonation 
                        of the word.  Damage inflicted depends on the level 
                        of the caster.

            Kaeru       Choose a place that the party can later be 
                        transported to in case of danger.  Cast the spell and 
                        enter any secret word.  At any time, use the "Yell" 
                        command, type in the secret word, and the party will 
                        immediately be transported to the location your 
                        previously staked out.

7           Shinseigo   Causes enemies to be swallowed by the ground and 
                        delivered to Hell’s chambers to suffer eternal 
                        torment.

            Moinochi    Restores life and vitality to a character, except in 
                        cases of petrification.  Causes no loss in 
                        constitution.  Can be repeated if fails it fails at 
                        first.

            Yawarishi   Last chance for a character turned to stone to be 
                        turned back to flesh.

-------------------
 B. Shizen Spells
-------------------
Like those of the Shisai, the spells available to the Shizen are mainly of a 
curative or protective nature, but they tend towards the outdoors.  The 
Shizen also have a few more offensive spells they like to use.

Level       Spell       Description
=============================================================================
1           Kusamotsu   Uses plant life to entwine enemy, holding 1 to 4 
                        monsters fast for warriors to finish off.  Works only 
                        on grass, bushes, or trees.

            Hikakomu    Bathes the opponent in flickering flames for the 
                        duration of the melee and gives a character a bonus 
                        on his chance to strike the monster.

            Ichihan     Lets Shizen question the stones of the dungeon to 
                        determine how far underground the party is.  Useful 
                        after being teleported.

2           Kino        Causes the skin of the recipient to stiffen and 
                        become as hard as tree root.  This cumulative spell 
                        can be cast on anyone.

            Dunasu      Cures 1 to 8 points of damage on any character, 
                        including the caster.  Does not cure dead or 
                        petrified players and does not cure diseases.

            Moya        Raises a thick mist around the party, shielding them 
                        while they try to escape combat unscathed.  Chance of 
                        escape depends on level of opposing monsters.

3           Byokinasu   Cures most illnesses and diseases, including the foul 
                        touch of the dreaded mummy.  Does not restore lost 
                        hit points.

            Konpasu     Helps you find land when you’re at sea.  "Below" is 
                        used only when land is very close or if the water 
                        below is extremely shallow.

            Yobuzuma    Bolt of lightning strikes down from the heavens and 
                        smites enemies.  Nasty offensive spell.

4           Hitate      Causes the group to become impervious to regular fire 
                        and heat.  Does not work on magical sources of fire.  
                        Lasts for 32 steps.

            Santate     Protects party from most common types of corrosive 
                        liquids.  While it doesn’t protect against all types 
                        of acids, it will reduce the damage inflicted.  Lasts 
                        for 32 steps.

            Tabemono    Changes vegetation into edible food (a synthetic 
                        bread that lasts and lasts).  The amount of food 
                        created depends on the vegetation the spell’s casted 
                        on.

5           Hikabe      Creates a wall of indigo flames around offending 
                        monsters.  Damage depends on the caster’s level.

            Drunasu     Similar to the lower-level Dunasu spell, except that 
                        it heals from 17 to 32 points of damage.

            Jishin      Causes the ground beneath monsters to buckle and 
                        split, dropping the less agile ones into the earth, 
                        where they will perish.

6           Hiarashi    Rolls a giant, billowing cloud of flames from the 
                        hand of the caster, scorching any monsters in its 
                        path.

            Kyoki       Causes monsters to go insane.  Most will wander 
                        aimlessly and die, but some, spurred by madness, 
                        fight with greater ferocity.

            Tsukakusu   Lets the party take on the form of the terrain around 
                        them so they can walk unseen through the wilds.  
                        Creatures are oblivious to their presence.

7           Konran      Monsters who fail to resist this spell will stand 
                        still and gape stupidly until they are slain.

            Komaru      Point at foe, intone spell, and foe dies instantly.  
                        A single-digit assault with an excellent success 
                        rate.

            Druinochi   Restores life--and possibly vitality--to a slain 
                        character.  Those raised will have one hit point and 
                        constitution will be lowered permanently by one.

-----------------------
 C. Mahotsukai Spells
-----------------------
Mahotsukai are the fighters of the spellcasting bunch.  Their spells are 
wickedly offensive.

Level       Spell       Description
=============================================================================
1           Todo        Pelts one opponent with small, fiery red bolts.  The 
                        number of missiles depend on the caster’s level, with 
                        four being the maximum.

            Neru        Puts opposing creatures with relatively low levels 
                        into deep sleep.  Length of sleep depends on the 
                        caster’s level.

            Tate        Shields recipient of spell against enemy blows during
                        combat.  Effects are cumulative.

2           Chikara     Fills party with a surge of strength to better 
                        inflict damage on foes.  Effects are cumulative.

            Yowameru    Weakens monsters and reduces the damage that they can
                        inflict on your party during combat.  Has cumulative
                        effects.

            Kowa        Strikes fear into the heart of one opponent.  If that
                        creature fails to resist, it will flee in blind 
                        panic.

3           Zuma        Intone spell to cause a sheet of lightning to spread 
                        from the caster’s outstretched hands, cutting down 
                        the opposing ranks.

            Isogu       Living members of the party will have their movements
                        accelerated, enabling them to get in an extra attack 
                        in every round of combat.

            Kumo        Creates strands of thick, sticky webs from air and
                        entangles monsters in the area.  Holds them fast 
                        until they manage to break free.

4           Hitama      Ball of rosy flames rise upon casting and then 
                        explodes among monsters.  Damage depends on the 
                        experience level of the caster.

            Ugoku       Sends adventurers fleeing randomly from danger, 
                        moving them 1 to 8 squares away.  Fails if wall or 
                        object is in the square to be landed on.

            Mokowa      Wave of fear sweeps the ranks of the opposing 
                        creatures.  Those who fail to resist flee in panic, 
                        dropping anything they are carrying.

5           Dokumo      Thick, black smoke forms a suffocating cloud around 
                        the enemy.  Kills all but the strongest.

            Koori       Pummels monster with fist-sized chunks of ice.  The 
                        severity of the spell depends on the level of the 
                        caster.

            Hohyo       Causes the caster and those with him to become 
                        transparent for the duration of the melee, making 
                        them harder to hit.

6           Korosu      When this spell is intoned, those of an unfriendly
                        disposition must resist or are slain instantly.

            Unmei       Lets the caster point a finger at the opponent and 
                        speak a word of power to destroy that enemy.

            Arashi      Sweeps the monsters with sheets of blazing blue fire 
                        that burn like the fires of hell.  Provides a 
                        thorough roasting.

7           Toki        Freezes opponents in time, rendering them helpless 
                        while you escape or move around unhindered.

            Unpan       Escape spell that teleports a party directly up or 
                        down in a dungeon, up to four levels.

            Taiyohi     Opens a gate between the sun and offending monsters, 
                        raking them with mortifying flames.  Most damning.

 D. Genkai Spells
-------------------
Genkais have a batch of spells that create illusions and are predominantly 
defensive.

Level       Spell       Description
=============================================================================
1           Kiri        Places a sphere of darkness around the party, helping 
                        them to escape unnoticed from enemies.

            Hibana      Showers of scintillating sparks shoot forth from the
                        caster’s hand, damaging all those in its path.

            Shoten      Enhances a character’s vision during combat, making 
                        it easier for the fighter to hit opponents.

2           Nikko       Creates a brilliant silvery light about caster so 
                        party can see better in dungeons.  Only works 
                        indoors, where the air is calm.

            Nijin       Makes a character blurry and translucent, and harder 
                        for creatures to hit during combat.

            Mekura      Fills opponent’s mind with roaring sounds and dancing 
                        motes of lights.  Those who can’t resist the spell 
                        are impaired and can’t effectively fight.

3           Kawa        Strikes overwhelming terror into the hearts of 1 to 3
                        monsters, causing them to flee.

            Nigeru      Pours thick fog around party, obscuring them from 
                        view and giving the party a chance to escape.

            Mamotu      Paralyzes any number of creatures and offers a good 
                        target for a fighter’s solid thrust.

4           Manijin     Makes all living members in the party invisible, 
                        reducing their chances of getting hit.

            Kakusu      Blends the party in with the environment so they 
                        become undetectable.  Lasts as long as characters do 
                        not move or make noise.

            Geneitodo   Pelts opponent with sheets of phantom missiles.  
                        Those who resist suffer less damage.

5           Meiro       Spins a ball of colored lights before the monsters, 
                        leaving them mesmerized and vulnerable.

            Manigeru    Covers opponent with nausea-inducing grey smoke and 
                        loud booming sounds, enabling the party to escape.

            Yujo        Beguiles creatures into seeing adventurers as their
                        friends.  Instant enemy impotence.

6           Uku         Causes party to enter an “unreal” state that allows 
                        them to pass over water as if it were solid ground.

            Makawa      Strikes terror into the hearts and bowels of all 
                        opposing monsters.  A refined version of Kawa.

            Kotoba      Intone this word of power to blast the life from 
                        creatures that the party is fighting.  Some opponents 
                        may suffer little effect from this spell.

7           Honigeru    Creates an illusory duplicate of the party so 
                        adventurers can slip away unnoticed.  Most monsters 
                        are fooled by this spell.

            Yurei       Sends party into dimension of shadows and illusion;
                        creatures see them as acquaintances or cousins.

            Tsukihi     Creates a cascade of blinding silvery fire that 
                        engulfs the nemeses with its hungry flames.

=============================================================================
 VII.  COMBAT AND MONSTERS
=============================================================================

------------
 A. Combat
------------
Combat is inevitable when you meet the monsters that ply the highways and 
byways of Deathlord.  You needn't fear combat, provided your warriors are 
well-equipped with armor and weapons and your offensive spellcasters are 
ready.

Warriors are your best attackers and least vulnerable to monster-inflicted 
damage.  Magic users, on the other hand, are most vulnerable but can protect 
themselves with defensive spells.  Retreating is a good way to shield weaker 
party members.  Negotiating is an option with some monsters, though others 
will dismiss entreaties with carnivorous disdain.  Sometimes it's wisest to 
have individuals retreat or have the entire party flee.

Getting bloodied a few times gives you insight about the strengths of 
different monsters.  It's a general rule that the serious foe is neutralized 
by a combination of repeated warrior attacks and weighty magician's spells, 
while the lightweights may fall under the force of a single spell or a few 
solid hits.  Successful combat has its benefits.  You can reap much in moneyu 
and armor.  You can gain experience.  You can live to see a new day.  The 
bigger the kill, the bigger the reward.

 1. Money
-----------
The monetary system in Lorn is based on the gold piece, or GP.  You can buy 
the goods, services, and information that you need with gold pieces.
	
 2. Experience
----------------
Gold and armor have their material charms, but experience is just as valuable 
to your character.  The more combats you enter and the more monsters you 
attack, the more experience you'll gain.  And as you gain more experience, 
you become more capable of handling the next mess you get into.  Sorry, but 
fleeing from combat or negotiating with monsters won't give you experience.

Another important aspect of experience is that the more your acquire, the 
closer you get to advancing another level.  The higher your level, the more 
powerful and effective you are in your role.  Fighters fight better, thieves 
thieve better, and spellcasters cast more powerful spells.  When a character 
has amassed enough experience points to advance a level, you'll see a plus 
(+) next to the character's name.  All the character has to do is find a 
training center and pay a fee to advance a level. (This fee is necessary to 
cover expenses such as supplies, training costs, spell books, religious 
articles, etc.)

You may only have a maximum of 2 pluses (+) for level advancement.  
Therefore, you should train for the next level as soon as the plus appears.

 3. Healing
-------------
Your characters can expect to be injured in combat or from trying to force 
entry into certain areas.  Time usually heals these wounds, but certain 
spellcasters can hurry the process along with curative spells.  If 
spellcasters lose too much power, they may temporarily lose their ability to 
use certain spells.

The more exotic forms of damage, like poison and disease, require more than 
rest to overcome.  Sometimes it takes a spell.  Other times a drink from a 
magical spring is the cure.  There are also a number of temples throughout 
Lorn offering healing services--with a proper donation, of course.

 4. Life after Death
----------------------
Death is not necessarily the end.  For those unfortunate ones who die in the 
early stages of the game, resurrections are offered in a number of temples 
and religious establishments for a fee.  For those more experienced, there 
are high level spells which restore life.  There are also rumors of items 
which possess great magical power that can bring back the dead.

Should the same deadly fate befall your entire party, the game stops.  Remove 
the scenario disk, insert the boot disk, and reboot the computer.  You can 
then disband the characters using the Character Options and use another 
character (who's alive) to resurrect them.

Another option, although, not the most honorable, is to copy the characters 
from the last backup disk you made of your group.  A final alternative is to 
assemble an entirely new group of characters and head out anew.

--------------
 B. Monsters
--------------
While you will encounter many people during your adventure, you will also run 
into monsters.  There are over 128 different kinds of them each eager to send 
you to an early grave.  You can easily identify most monsters because they 
will be colorful as opposed to your one color of white.  The undead are 
usually white and grey.

While the townsfolk are normally docile, if you attack a townsperson, the 
guards will become your enemy.  If you are attacked first though, the guards 
will not bother you.

Monsters that have special abilites like drain lvl and 2x hits can only do 
one or the other.  For example, ghouls can paralyze or hit 2x.  If you see 
only 1 miss, that means it tried to paralyze you but missed.  If you see 2 
misses or 1 hit and 1 miss, that means that it was trying to hit you 2x and 
you won't get paralyzed.

 Complete Monster List (125 of 128 found)
-------------------------------------------
The format will be as follows:

Name   (names prefixed with an asterisk (*) indicates a unique/major enemy.
Rating (E = easy, M = medium, H = hard)

       Special abilities include PAR (paralysis), TOX (poison), ILL 
       (disease), RIP (slaying), drain lvl, stone, summon help, breath (dmg 
       to all), casting spells.

If a monster can be negotiated with, in the description, there will be a "Y" 
followed by the general price. Otherwise an "N" will be present.  A "?" is 
for monsters that haven't been negotiated with yet or if they can be 
negotiated with but the price is unknown.

 VIII.  MAPS AND THE TERRAIN
=============================================================================

----------
 A. Maps
----------
As your party moves through the many dungeons, caverns, and labyrinths, you 
can map their movements so your characters don't have this nagging sense of 
deja vu.  Dungeons are laid out one screen block per one graph paper block, 
with each dungeon layer fitting on a single sheet of standard 8 x 11 sheet of 
graph paper.  Look at your maps with a critical adventurer's eye.  You may 
notice an unmarked area in an otherwise packed map.  Could that be the stairs 
to a lower level?  Or you'll notice something unusual about a corridor.  A 
hidden room, perhaps?

A word about teleporters.  A quick blink of the screen combined with the fact 
that you're somewhere entirely different or not getting anywhere at all 
suggests that you've been teleported.  For instance, you may be walking down 
a corridor that never seems to end.  In fact, you may be getting repeatedly 
teleported a few steps back in the corridor, so you're trekking the same path 
over and over.  As soon as you catch on to the fact you've been teleported, 
correct your map, if necessary.

"Dungeon" maps are usually 32x32, 33x33, 34x34, or a mixture of the three.  
"Indoor" maps are 64x64.

For maps, see section IX. below or go to
http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Realm/4610/deathlord/maps.html

-----------
 B. Areas
-----------
The world of Lorn possesses a variety of climatic zones.  The temperate 
regions have forests, plains, and swamps.  The arid regions are made up of 
desert sands and scrub.  The frozen regions to the north have tundra, frozen 
marshes, and some forests.

To travel between these varied continents, you'll need to sail the great 
seas.  You'll find ports where you can engage the services of a friendly ship 
in exchange for some gold.  An alternative is to forcibly engage the services 
of an unfriendly ship by attacking it.  Seafarers be advised--oceans are 
especially dangerous places.

--------------------------
 C. Buildings and Places
--------------------------

Certain buildings and places in Lorn hold clues and items vital to your 
quest.  The more you investigate, the more you'll find.

Place                   Description
=============================================================================
Castles                 The only known castle belongs to Emperor Nakamoto in 
                        Kodan.  Rumor is that another strongly fortified 
                        castle exists on an uncharted island east of Kodan.

Cities                  Most commerce happens in the cities and the prices 
                        are usually lower here than in other areas.

Dungeons                These labyrinthed caverns and natural catacombs can 
                        be found in any region.  Look for a cave mouth or 
                        grotto, take a deep breath, and enter.

Fortresses              These fortifed strongholds guard mountain passes from 
                        invasion.

Pyramids                These buildings in the great southern deserts house 
                        long-dead kings and are protected by curses on the 
                        living.

Ruins                   The remnants of a town, city, or village may house 
                        ferocious monsters or precious treasure and valuable 
                        clues.

Skull Keep              There is only one skull keep and it belongs to the 
                        Deathlord in "Hell."

Temples                 Found in remote areas, these places are set up by 
                        non-human cults.  Caution is advised around temples.

Towers                  Towers are inhabited by Wizards and Necromancers of 
                        ill repute who chose to remove themselves from 
                        society in order to perform ghastly experiments and 
                        rituals.

Towns                   These are smaller settlements than cities.  While 
                        mostly residential, there are shops for the wandering 
                        traveller to restock his or her dwinding supplies.  
                        Be sure to talk to the townsfolk for the latest 
                        kingdom gossip.

Villages                These peasant communities can offer food and lodging 
                        to the weary adventurer.  Some are rumored to offer 
                        much more...

 A. The 16 Continents
-----------------------
The world of Deathlord consists of 16 continents.  The grid below is 16x16 
and represents the entire world.  Each continent/land is numbered 1-16.  
Every "block" on the grid represents one disk sector (56x56 size).  Some 
continents span more than 1 disk sector.  The block borders are where the 
disk drive will spin.

After each number is the name of the continent, followed by any towns and/or 
dungeons found.  Any dungeons inside of towns are surrounded by parentheses.

.  indicates sector is nothing but water.

Walkthrough:

Level 1:  Follow the path SE.  When you hit the bottom go west about 10
          paces.  Then follow the path north and when you reach a split in
          the path, take the NW branch and follow it north to the stairs.

Level 2:  Take any of the 3 ships available to the south shore.  You will
          have to land next to the swampy shore where there is a ship already
          anchored.  Follow the dirt path westward until you reach another
          ship.  Take this ship south and dock next to the ship already on
          the shore.  Follow the trail eastward where yet another ship will
          be waiting.  Take this ship east to the stairs down to lvl 3.

Level 3:  Board the ship and head west.  Go west until you reach the 2nd room
          with acid in the middle.  Head north through the secret walls until
          you hit a real wall.  Now search north to reveal a hidden door.
          Search the westmost wall in the room to reveal another hidden door.
          Go north to the stairs.  Note there is another set of stairs east
          of the room with the first hidden door.  These stairs lead to a
          dead end in lvl 4.  The correct set of stairs is the one through
          the 2 hidden doors.

Level 4:  There are 2 routes to the stairs: land or sea.  The land route is
          full of pits.  Be careful to search each spot before you step on
          it.  Follow the path which goes in a clockwise direction to reach
          the stairs down.  The sea route avoids all the pits and is the only
          way to reach the treasure chests with the teleporters.  There are
          also 2 hidden doors on the NE corner of the water which lead to
          treasure rooms.  There is also a secret wall to the left of the
          water next to the stairs down.

Level 5:  Take the ship east and follow the water until you can't go north
          any more.  Disembark and head north to another ship.  Board it and
          follow the water to the southeast until you see another ship docked
          in the corner of water that zigzags NE.  Board that ship and when
          you reach the middle of the zigzagging water, you will be
          teleported to the middle south part of the dungeon.  The same spot
          that you are teleported to is also another teleporter so you must
          step off immediately or you will be teleported to lvl 8.  The
          stairs down are in southeast corner.

Level 6:  If you teleported here from lvl 5, then stay on the same spot to 
          get teleported to lvl 7.  If you took the stairs from lvl 5, then
          board the ship and follow the water north until you see another
          ship.  Board that ship and head due south taking the east branches,
          until you see another ship on the south.  Board that ship to the
          stairs down.

Level 7:  If you teleported here from lvl 6, stay on the same spot to get
          teleported back to the square that you first got teleported on in
          level 5.  Step off it otherwise you will reenter the 5,5,8,5,6,7,5
          teleporter loop.  If you took the stairs from lvl 6, then just take
          the ship and follow the water around to the stairs.

Level 8:  If you teleported here from lvl 5, follow the water west until you
          reach the wall.  Then head south until you reach the wall.  Then go
          all the way east to get teleported to lvl 5 in the southeast area,
          which is just above the area where the first teleporter in lvl 5
          sent you to.  If you took the stairs from lvl 7, then board the
          ship and head north to read the sign.  The portcullis can't be
          raised by brute force.  The stairs down behind it are fake.  There
          is no lvl 9.  If you want, you can disembark into the darkness and
          follow the path to a treasure "room" with ghosts (drain lvl).

Note:  The Sea Dragons are preset at first in lvls 5-8.  They can do BIG
       dmg with their breath attack.  Avoid them if you can.

Walkthrough:  There are no stairs up except to leave the dungeon, only down.  
              The first level is earth, then air, then fire, then water.  You 
              can also go roughly near the center and cast UNPAN down 3 
              levels to get right to the word.  Save the game first and so on 
              if you want to see the word really quickly.  Monsters are tough 
              and do up to 25 damage.

Level 1:  Earth.  8 squares south of the entrance there's a barrier to the 
          south.  From this point go WSWSSESSWWSSWSWSSESESSEEN (you should 
          hit a secret door here) NNNN (hit a teleporter to the second 
          level).  Even if you get lost remember there's a whole huge area 
          surrounded by walls that you can't map out.  You can circle around 
          that area and you'll find the illusory wall at the south.

Level 2:  Air.  Go all the way east until you hit a wall (all walls except 
          boundaries are illusory here!).  Go 1 square west and then go north 
          until you see the stairs down 1N and 1E from where you are.  Go 
          east and then north, or you'll hit a teleporter.

Level 3:  Fire.  I stumbled on the stairs down pretty quickly. What I did was 
          to go southwest, northwest, and so on until I got to the upper 
          left.  Then I slowly worked my way east; a lot of the walls are 
          illusory.  I found the stairs that way.

Level 4:  Water.  This is the easiest to map.  Basically, you get on a boat 
          and go in a spiral towards the center.  When you get there, there's 
          an island.  As you've mapped everything else, it's the only place 
          left the word can be, but it has no illusory walls--on the outside.  
          Search the southernmost tip for a secret door.  Enter it and go 
          north UNTIL you can see the word to the north.  Then step west or 
          east (more illusory walls) to avoid the teleporter to the first 
          level, which is the first square to the north that's NOT an 
          illusory wall.  

          Read the word, OSORERU, and hit the teleporter which is now very 
          convenient--it takes you to the sign just south of the dungeon 
          entrance.

Trolls                 1-4

Walkthrough:  The main sources of damage in this dungeon aew from the swamps 
              so make sure you have a Shisai who can cast Alnasu.  The word 
              is on level 4, and you can read it from 11 squares west of 
              where you enter.  You can not Unpan directly to this location 
              without using Uku.  However, you can get close to the word and 
              then uncover hidden doors to work your way to the word.

Level 1:      From the stairs go 3E, 2S, 5E, 2N, 6E, 7S, 9W, 3S, 20W, 19S, 
              26E, 4N.

Level 2:      From the stairs go 3W, 2N, 14W, 8N, 2E, 3S, 2E, 3S, 8E, 10N, 
              8E, 11N, 1W, 1N, 12W, 1S, 1W, 7S, 9W, 7N, 4W, 1N.

Level 3:      From the stairs go 1S, 3E, 17S, 5W, 6S, 6E, 3S, 4E, 1S, 14E, 
              3N.

Level 4:      From the stairs go 2W, 1N, 1W, 3N, 2W, 1N, 10W, 1N, 3W, 1S, 6W, 
              7N, 4E, 9N, 3W, 2N, 3E, 2N, 1W, 1N, 1W.  Now search west to 
              find a secret door.  Search north 2 times to find 2 more hidden 
              doors.  Search east 2 times to find 2 hidden doors.  You will 
              now be left of the sign with the word FUSHIN.

              Short solution?

              Using Uku:  3W, 2S, 2W, 2N, 5W.  Cast Uku.  1W.  Cast Unpan, 
              down 3.  Read north.  Cast Unpan, up 3.  Retrace steps (6E, 2S, 
              2E, 2N, 3E, 1N).

              Without Uku:  3W, 2S, 8W.  Cast Upan, down 3.  1W, 1N, 1W (fake 
              wall).  Now search west to find a secret door.  Search north 2 
              times to find 2 more hidden doors.  Search east 2 times to find 
              2 hidden doors.  You will now be left of the sign with the 
              word.  Backtrack out by going 2W, 2S, 2E, 1S, 1E.  Cast Unpan, 
              up 3.  8E, 2N, 3E, 1N.

          now on level 2 even though there was no sign.  Backtrack 7 steps 
          and you're back on level 1.)

Level 2:  2E, 2N, 2W, 4N, 2E, 1S, 1E, 1S, 2E, 3N, 1E, 1N, 1E, 5N, 1E, 6N, 1E, 
          1N, 1E, 3N, 1E, 2N, 2E, 3S, 2E, 1S, 2E, 1S, 2E.  To the south lies 
          a 3x3 square of open doors.  The center of these nine door is a 
          teleporter to the 5th level.  Take it.

Level 5:  Level 5 consists of nothing but a NW-SE corridor.  Moving one 
          diagonal step NW (either N then W of the other way around) 
          teleports you back to the start of this level so the corridor seems 
          endless.  21 diagonal steps SE teleports to level 8 (an identical 
          corridor, NW teleports you back to level 5 so there is no obvious 
          transition) 

[a side trip:*]  Take 21 diagonal steps SW from the teleport that took you to 
          the eighth level.  This leads to a teleport to the 7th level.

[another side trip:**]  Take ten diagonal steps SW, two steps east, two steps 
          east through illusionary walls.  There is a secret door to the 
          east.  5 steps east is a crossroad in darkness.  The three passages 
          lead to 3x3 rooms with chests.  Go south.  In the south wall of the 
          southeast corner is a secret door.  There is another secret door to 
          the east of this.  This door opens into the room with the word, 
          DARAKU.  To leave, go back to the NW-SE corridor, ten diagonal 
          steps SE teleports you to the 6th level.  24 diagonal steps SE 
          brings you to the end of the main corridor and a teleport back to 
          level 1 (between the stairs out and the sign). 

*Level 8 side trip:  There are illusionary walls that can be stepped into on 
          the east side of the corridor 1 step south of the teleport and 9 
          steps south of the teleport.  Both lead east to another illusionary 
          wall, then a secret door, a passage to a crossroads in darkness:  
          each of the other three passageways lead to 3x3 rooms.  The second 
          set of three rooms (9 steps south in the main corridor) contain 
          treasure chests.  A similar set up occurs one step east and three 
          steps south of the teleport:  two illusionary walls to the south, a 
          secret door, passage south to crossroads in darkness and three 3x3 
          rooms containing urns.  The central portion of the west wall of the 
          southern room is illusionary and opens to a short passage to a 
          portcullis through which you can see the chamber with the word.  
          Unfortunately, you cannot get through the portcullis so you can 
          skip all this.

**Level 7 side trip:  Immediately to the east of the teleport to level 7 are 
          an illusionary wall, another illusionary wall, a secret door, a 
          crossroads in darkness and three rooms of coffins.

  Skull Keep  --  Fortress of the Deathlord [Hell Island]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Type    :  Indoor
Keywords:  none
Monsters:  12 Acid Demons, 1 Cerebus, 6 Smoke Demons, 10 Vapor Demons
Shops   :  none
Secrets :  all monsters reappear when you reenter.  Unsure if Cerebus returns
           , but I assume it does.

           3 Acid Demons are found while walking around counterclockwise.
           4 Acid Demons are found in the first "demon room".
           5 Acid Demons are found in the second "demon room".
           6 Smoke Demons are found around the small rooms in the keep, 1
                per room.
           3 Vapor Demons are found while walking around counterclockwise
                near the magic wall halls.
           4 Vapor Demons are found in the first "demon room".
           3 Vapor Demons are found in the second "demon room".
           1 Cerebus is found in the room before the stairs to the 7 gates.

Walkthrough:  Do not proceed further if you don't have all 6 items:
              Blue Crystal, Emerald Rod, Lantern, Ruby Ring, Sharktooth,
              Sunspear.  Make sure you have all 7 words too.  You will need
              them for the 7 Gates of Hell.

              Since you'll face a lot of demons in here, equip your fighters
              with the Emerald Rod because it is effective against demons
              and it gives very good AC bonuses.

              The keep winds counterclockwise forming an "ankh" type shape.
              After you reach the very end, above the 20 magic walls (1/2 hp)
              , you will be in the middle of the keep.  Search the right
              walls above the magic wall and you will find 2 secret doors,
              each after the other.  Search the second secret door's north
              wall to find a third hidden door.  Search the east wall of the
              third door to find a fourth and then fifth door.  Search the
              fifth door's north wall to find the sixth door.

              As a result of finding the sixth door, you will find that the
              room is occupied by 8 groups of demons (4 acid, 4 vapor.
              Defeat all of them.  Now search the north wall of the room
              the demons were in to find another secret door leading to yet
              another room of demons.  Defeat them all and search the north
              wall of their room to find a secret door.  The demon dog,
              Cerebus is waiting behind the door.  He has about 100 hp and 
              breathes.  Defeat Cerebus and head north.  Now use the blue
              crystal to pass through the curtains.  After passing through
              about 5 curtains, you should see the stairs down on the north
              side of the room.

              Before descending though, heal your characters.  Since this is
              a location of type "Indoor", no random monsters will appear.
              I assume you fought all the demons while walking here so set a
              macro to pass time and have your Shisai heal everyone.  Make
              sure everyone is fully healed and has max spell points as you
              will need it.  Now prepare to enter the 7 Gates of Hell.

Walkthrough:

The dungeon is divided into 16 lvls:  4 dark, 4 fire, 4 acid, and 4 death.
Each level contains the corresponding lord.  The first 3 lords are optional.
You must kill the Deathlord to get the black orb.  The Shizen spell Yobuzuma
will not work in lvls 1-4 probably because it is a lighting spell and 1-4 are
the realm of shadows.

Also you might want to have lots of money so you can negotiate out of tough
fights to conserve your strength.

Level 1:  The next four levels are Malokorai, the Dark Lord's realm.  Use the 
          lantern to see.  Any other type of light source will fizzle or have 
          no effect.  The upon entering, you will see a sign to the right of 
          the stairs.  The top part of the dungeon has 6 teleporters.  1 is 
          the square to the left of the stairs up.  Another one is to the 
          right of the sign.  The third teleporter and fourth teleporters are 
          to the left of the one left of the stairs and to the right of the 
          of the one next to the sign respectively.  These will take you to 
          level 2 so step in either one.  The fifth one is the seventh square 
          to the right of the left wall.  The sixth teleporter is the third 
          square to the left of the right wall.  If you're confused, here's a 
          map, where 0 is wall, s is sign, u is up and t is teleporter.

          0000000000000000us00000000000000
          0       t     tt  tt        t  0

          So the shortest path is from the stairs 1S, 2W, 1N.  That will send
          you to level 2.  Of course you could also go 1S, 3E, 1N and that is
          also fine.

Level 2:  Upon reaching lvl 2 via any of the 2 teleporters, immediately head
          south to avoid the teleporters to the right and left of where you
          were teleported because they will send you back to lvl 1.  Instead,
          walk along the water and head east through the eastern wall which
          is fake.  Now step east 1 more step and then head south until you
          reach some water.  Now follow the walls east and you will see the
          stairs to lvl 3.

Level 3:  From the stairs move 4S, 6W, 2S, 8W, 5N.  You will now be in front
          of the first gate of Hell.  Don't bother trying to raise the gate
          because only yelling one of the 7 words will let you pass.  Yell
          the word "YOKUSEI" and head north to the stairs.

Level 4:  There is a fake set of stairs.  Avoid it and instead, move from
          the stairs 1S, 3E, 3N and you will be in front of the second gate
          of Hell.  Yell the word "NIKUMU" to pass.  Now you will see water
          surrounding the path.  A few more steps and you will hit an 
          intersection.  To the north is an empty room with water that has
          random effects when you drink it I think.  To the west is 
          Malokorai, the Dark Lord's chamber.  To the east are 4 water rooms.
          You could drink the water which could fully heal a character but 
          also be aware that the water could injure, poison, or disease you 
          too.  When you head west you will encounter a group of Shades that
          do not move.  Similar to the humans in Malkanth, they are just 
          "statues".  Just walk north or south through the fake walls to pass 
          through them.  In the center of the room you should see the Dark 
          Lord surrounded by Molochai statues.  Heal up and confront him.  He 
          has about 100 hp and hits for 50 dmg per hit.  He can also cast 
          Taiyohi for 29 dmg to all and Korosu.
          
          When you've dispatched the Dark Lord, head south of his chamber.
          While there are treasure chambers to the left and right (the 7th 
          wall on each side is fake), I'd avoid the money so you don't fight 
          more monsters.  Use the Ruby Ring to avoid the fire damage and head 
          west and you should see the stairs to Frasaak, the Fire lord's
          domain.
          
Level 5:  Fire.  These next four levels are the lair of Frasaak, the Flame
          Lord.  Everything is fire so set a macro to use the ruby ring.  The
          monsters to avoid are the Firebats because they breathe.  This 
          level is just a zigzag with you just following the walls until you 
          can no longer head north anymore at which point you head west and 
          you'll be teleported to level 6.  For the shortest route from the 
          stairs go 4S, 20E, 9N, 5W, 5N, 6E, 6N, 20W.  One more step west is
          the teleporter to lvl 6.

Level 6:  More fire.  This level is similar to lvl 5.  Just follow the walls
          all the way north.  Then go all the way west.  Finally head south
          until you see 4 sets of stairs, 2 on each side.  Take the lower
          right stairs.  The shortest route from the spot you got teleported
          to from lvl 5 is 9W, 16N, 9E, 7N, 12W, 1S, 7W, 1N, 5W, 8S, 6W, 10S,
          1W, 7S, 3E.  One more step east are the correct stairs down to lvl
          7.  All four stairs lead to lvl 7.  The only difference is the
          lower right set of stairs down starts you in lvl 7 the closest to
          the stairs down to lvl 8.

Level 7:  From the lower right stairs in lvl 6, head all the way east and the 
          stairs are behind some secret walls in the lower right corner.  The
          shortest route is 2E, 1N, 17E.  One more step north are the stairs
          down to lvl 8.

Level 8:  From the stairs go 1S, 15W, 3N.  You will now be in front of the
          third gate of Hell.  Yell the word "SEIYOKU" to pass.  Head north
          and smash through the second portcullis.  Head north a few more
          steps and you'll see Blaze Demon statues.  A little further north
          is the Flame Lord.  You can fight him if you wish.  He has about
          135 hp, hits 2x for 30 dmg, and casts Korosu and Taiyohi.  You can
          also negotiate with him for 3500 GP.  In the Frasaak's chamber 
          there are pillars on the left and right sides.  There are 2 fake
          walls between the pillars.  The one on the left side between the
          first and second pillars from the top leads to the Flame Lord's
          personal treasure chambers.  The one on the right side between the
          second and third pillars from the top is where you want to go.
          Once you pass the wall head north and you will see the fourth gate
          of Hell.  Use the Emerald Rod first so you don't get hurt when you
          pass through the gate.  Yell the word "DARAKU" to pass.  Head north
          to the stairs down.

Level 9:  Acid.  These next four levels are the realm of Jhelag, the Acid
          Lord.  Set a macro to use the Emerald Rod.  The monsters aren't
          tough except for the Vapor Demons who can casts spells to hurt
          the entire party.  From the stairs go 3S, 1E, 5S, 3E, 5S, 1E,
          12S, 9W, 9N, 1E, 8N, 4W, 6N, 8W, 9S, 3E, 4S, 5W.  One more step
          west is the teleporter to lvl 10.


Level 10: More acid.  From the spot you got teleported go 3W, 2S, 1W, 3S,
          5E, 1S, 1E, 6S, 1W, 6S, 1E, 5S, 5W, 7N, 3W, 5N, 4W, 2N, 2W, 2N,
          1W, 7N, 10W, 5S, 2E, 4S, 1W, 5S, 4E, 4S, 4W, 1S, 1W, 6S.  One more
          step south is the teleporter to lvl 11.  The one immediately below
          you will teleport you to a different location than the one to the
          left of it.  Take the one below you.
 

Level 11: More acid.  From the spot you got teleported go 2S, 1E, 9S, 9W,
          10S, 4E, 1N, 2E, 5N, 7W, 4N, 2E, 4N, 2E, 10N, 8E, 5S, 1W, 6S, 1E,
          3S, 3W, 1N, 3W, 1S, 1W, 3S, 2E, 1S, 1E, 1S, 4E.  The stairs down
          should be right above you.

Level 12: Head south.  Now head 10W. Take only one step north.  Now search
          north to reveal a pit.  Head north until you're in the last water
          room.  There is a fake wall east of the water.  Go through it and
          all the way east.  Now head north through the fake wall and you
          will see the fifth gate of Hell.  Yell the word "FUSHIN" to pass.
          Head north through the fake wall and follow the passage until you
          see the Rakhammon's curtain.  Use the blue crystal to pass through
          to enter Jhelag's chamber.  You will see statues of Acid and Vapor
          Demons.  In the middle of the room is Jhelag.  He has about 135 hp,
          hits 4x for 18-33 dmg, has drain lvl ability I believe, and casts
          Korosu.  He is negotiable as well for about 4000 GP.  Head to the
          west side of Jhelag's chamber and use the blue crystal to pass the
          curtain.  Now follow the passage and head south through a fake
          wall.  You will see the sixth gate of Hell.  Yell the word
          "OSORERU" to pass.  Now head south through the fake wall and follow
          the passage.  At the end of the passage, head east through a fake
          wall.  You should be in a water room.  You can drink the water but
          it will make you ill.  Stand under the water and search south to
          reveal a pit.  Now head all the way south and then all the way
          east.  Head north to reach the stairs.

Level 13: Death.  These last four levels are the realm of the Deathlord.
          You will fight monsters from the previous 12 levels plus the
          triple team of Vampires, Lich, and Undead Ronin.  Monsters to
          avoid include Lich, Vampires, Firebats, Vapor Demons, and Undead
          Ronin.  From the stairs go 2N, 3E, 3N, 24E, 3N, 1E, 1N, 1E.  The
          next step east is the teleporter to lvl 14.
          
Level 14: The level is shaped like an "S" so just follow the walls around.
          Otherwise from the spot you were teleported to go 2E, 3N, 8E, 1S,
          8E, 4N, 7E, 7N, 13W, 2N, 6W, 3N, 1W, 7N, 4E, 1N, 12E.  The next
          step is the teleporter to lvl 15.  Like the one in lvl 10, both
          teleporters (top/bottom) will send you to different locations
          (left or right side) in lvl 15.  Take either one.

Level 15: Just east or west depending on which teleporter you took and you
          should see water with some Rakhammon curtains and Arkhan's walls
          (1/2 drain).  Head toward the water and go north where you will
          pass a line of statues of the various demons you have fought so
          far.  On each side are 63 chests and 3 urns containing 500 GP or
          more each.  You can take the money if you want but at this point,
          it would be best to avoid fighting additional monsters.  When
          you're ready, head north past the last statues and through the fire
          and acid where you will see the seventh and final gate of Hell.
          Yell the word "CHIJOKU" to pass.
 
Level 16: The entire level consists of 1/2 hp drain magic curtains forming
          the walls of a maze so don't walk too fast.  The Deathlord's
          chamber is in the middle of the level.  There are 2 ways to get to
          the Deathlord: the long but safe way, the short but dangerous way.
          The dangerous way goes through 3 1/2 hp drain curtains.

          Risky way (from the stairs):  1E, 9S, 2E, 6S, 4W.  Then go north
          through the Rakhammon's curtains to fight the Deathlord.

          Safe way (from the stairs):  3W, 1N, 8W, 2S, 2W, 2N, 2W, 9S, 2E,
          2S, 2W, 2S, 2E, 2S, 2W, 4S, 4E, 2S, 2W, 5S, 4E, 9N, 2E, 1S, 2E, 2N,
          4E.  Go north through the Rakhammon's curtains to fight the
          Deathlord.

          Fighting the Deathlord:  First, make sure someone in the front row
          has the Sunspear equipped as all other weapons do 0 damage.  The
          Deathlord has about 225 hp, drains lvls, hits for 3-66 dmg, and
          casts Korosu.  Most spells have no effect on him but Todo works.
          You can also have your spellcasters cast Hikakomu or Onkei.  It is
          wise for the Mahotsukai to cast Isogu to enable the fighters to get
          an extra attack per round.  Once you win, you will see a message
          and then get the black orb.

          You now have to return the black orb to the Emperor in Kodan.  You
          can do this in 2 ways.  One is to save the game and then disperse
          the party and start outside Kawa.  The other alternative is to go
          back through the 16 lvls, through Skull Keep, through Hell Island, 
          and sail back to Kodan.  You can rest safely in the Deathlord's
          chamber but there might be a horde of monsters waiting outside when
          you finish healing.

          Here is how the screen looks after you kill the Deathlord.

=============================================================================
 X.  MAIN WALKTHROUGH
=============================================================================
The adventure begins
----------------------
Begin the game by creating a party of six.  You can create less but your 
chances of success are lower and you must carry six different special items 
to win the game so stick with a group of six.

I would recommend starting off with one Senshi, one Samurai, one Ninja, one 
Ryoshi, one Shisai, and one Mahotsukai.  The Senshi will be used to smash 
doors and portcullises.  The Samurai can equip certain unique weapons while 
the Ninja can eventually get decapitation skills.  The Ryoshi is a total 
package, combining both hand and missile weapons with the spells of the 
Shizen.  He is most useful during the navigation of the open seas.  The 
Shisai and Mahotsukai are both vital to the group, providing the offensive 
and defensive spells.

Note that you could replace the Ryoshi with the Ronin and the Shisai and 
Mahotsukai with a Genkai or Shukenja.  Just as long as someone has healing 
and offensive spells, although the 4 basic spellcasters (Shisai, Shizen, 
Mahotsukai, Genkai) learn the spells at a much faster rate than the 
specialized classes.

After creating your group you should now begin the game outside of the 
village Kawa.  Enter town and gather information, equipment, and money.  
After that you will be ready to fight a few easy battles (Run from brigands 
until you are at level 3 of exp).

After gaining a few levels and visiting Tokugawa on the northwest peninsula 
and the Emperor's Palace west of Kodan, you will be ready to enter the cave 
one screen east of Kawa.  After plundering this four level dungeon and 
killing the Vampire in the third level, you should be powerful enough to kill 
the Daimyo in one of the towns.  Don't worry about killing a townsfolk 
because, the Daimyo attacks you first.  Therefore the rule of thumb is never 
initiate a fight with townsfolk, but they can start a fight with you though.

If you managed to kill the Daimyo, you should be high enough level to enter 
the catacombs beneath the emperor's palace and confront the necromancer 
Kawahara.  Make sure your Mahotsukai has enough hit points to withstand a 
Zuma spell because Kawahara will use it.  After finishing off Kawahara, 
return the document you won to the Emperor.  He will grant you a boat from 
the Tokugawan port and order you to find the source of the evil (Deathlord).  
From here on you can basically go anywhere in the world.

However you may be eager to leave Kodan, don't, at least not until your 
Shisai can cast Donasu since the Sea Serpents in the ocean poison you.  Since 
you have some levels to gain, you can finish exploring the continent of 
Kodan, raid the ruins of Wakiza to the south, or explore the ruins of 
Yokahama southwest of Tokushima.

Now the real adventure begins.  Seek the seven and find the six to ultimately 
come face to face with the Deathlord himself.

Quest for the relics
----------------------
First, you might want to get the lantern.  It's the easiest one, and you
don't need any combat.  In the southwest of Greenbanks, there is a graveyard.
Find the grave to the west that is enclosed by a forest.

Clues to find the lantern:  A Ryoshi in Croyo tells you to look in the
graveyard (SE corner).  A skeleton there says "search my grave in Greenbanks."

Next is the Tooth/Sharktooth.   If you enter Malkanth from the east 
(Hitate/Ruby Ring will save you a few hit points, but it's not really
necessary) and take the first passage south, and search the east end of the
diamond room for a secret door.  Follow that passageway to the end 
(the side room is highly amusing) and the sharktooth is in the west part
of the Shrine of Chaos at the end of the passage.

Clues to find the Sharktooth:  "Search the shrine" in Kashiwa.  Someone
pointed out on the Deathlord list group that you may need the Lantern first.


We must pick the Blue Crystals up next, since they're necessary to pick
up the rod, ring, and spear.  Clues to find the Blue Crystals:  In Kashiwa, 
people say the Lost Lagoon to the north has them.  In the Lost Lagoon, I also
believe that you meet people who say you need a Genkai.  Look for an island
with a Mahotsukai.  Incidentally, PICK UP TWO, unless you want to go back to
the Lagoon.  Why not just one?  Here's why.


The Sunspear is next.  Senju is in Twin Rivers, in the SE corner.  Talk to
him and OI a crystal.  Don't OI twice--he'll just thank you unless, of
course you leave, and enter on a backup disk.

Clues to find the Sunspear:  Sorcerers Guild tells you Senju has it.

The Emerald Rod is next.  Enter the Sultan's palace from the east.  There is
a secret door the third wall past the guard's enclave to the south.  Go
through it and down the corridor.  The room behind the door has a bunch of
magic walls surrounding a chest.  Use your crystal and encounter the Sand
Dragons (make sure you're at full strength before then--they breathe damage)
and then get the emerald rod from the chest.

Clues to find the Emerald Rod:  Mahotsukai in Sultan's Palace tells you to 
search the tower.

Unconfirmed:  I think the rod could also be won from the bosses since I'm 
              sure that I won it from Akhamun-Ra as well.


The Ruby Ring is last and probably trickiest.  It's handy so you don't have
to deal with fire and helps your armor class too.  From the Red Shogun's
conference room, follow the passage to the south.  Follow it as it bends to
the east and then south.  You may want to take a detour here, smashing the
jail door(to the west).  The southwest-most cell has a secret door to the
south which leads to an exit.  Don't take the exit--it wouldn't be a detour
then.  After you get the ring, you may want to get out quickly.  Simply go
back to the gate at the end of the hallway and smash it.  You will then have
to attack the golem, who you'll notice is standing in front of a magic wall.
Use the crystal to get through the magic wall, then search the walls to the
west, which leads to a path and then a small room with just one chest.  That
chest holds the ring.  Now, if you've found the secret door in the cell, you
don't have to exit by the main entrance (and face all those golems and smoke
demons!)  Just cut out the back way, and you'll miss most of the guards.

Clues to find the ring:  Malakorr, the necromancer in the
forest(who--don't worry--does not attack you) tells you the Red Shogun
is hiding the ring.  The Mahotsukai in the room behind the golem says
"search the walls."

Ruby Ring method 2
--------------------
There's a pretty odd way you can get the Ruby Ring, other than stealing it
from the Red Shogun's Castle.  It's on the last floor of the Temple of Loric 
(the nightmarish 16-floor dungeon on Senju's continent).  When you enter that
floor the usual way (i.e. not by Unpan), two small pillar-surrounded cells
 are beside you.  The left one has a coffer.  If you cast Unpan so you 
land next to the coffer, you can open it for a Ruby Ring.


Quest for the Words
---------------------


=============================================================================
 XI.  THE ENDING
=============================================================================
Talk to the Emperor.  Then offer item (OI), black orb.  Disk drive will spin
and you will be asked to insert the boot disk.

Screen changes to a shot of a pagoda on the right side with 3 colored banners
, each with Japanese on it.  The upper left side has Japanese ink painting
styled bamboo.  Below the bamboo in the lower left corner is a black text 
box.  There is a mountain (Fuji?) in the background.

Ending text:
And so it came to pass that the evil tyranny of the Deathlord was broken by 
the heroic efforts of 6 adventurers






& 


Because of their deeds, the cause of much of the evil in the lands was 
banished, and the people knew peace at last.

In the days that followed, a great shrine was raised by the people and it was 
called the Hall of Heroes.

Inside the shrine stood the statues of many heroes of legend, but among their 
ranks stood a statue that was dedicated to:






& 


In this way did the legend of the mighty quest live on for all time!

The End


=============================================================================
 XII.  MISCELLANEOUS TRICKS
=============================================================================
As you journey from place to place, be sure to collect clues.  Mingle with 
the various individuals you meet in cities and towns:  guards, warriors, 
fellow travellers--even mayors and sultans.  Talking and inquiring are your 
best bets for eliciting clues, though a nice chat never hurt anyone.  Some of 
the folks with key information are really shy; be sure to look in odd corners 
for these wallflowers.

Signs scattered throughout inhabited and uninhabited areas also provide 
clues.  If you encounter a valuable lead, take out pencil and paper to make 
note of it.  Try committing it to memory and you may soon forget the game-
completing clue.

Clues can give you insight into certain problems, provide part of a complex 
phonetic riddle, or even tell you where you can find someone or something.

 1. Other tips
----------------
01.   Explore an area thoroughly before moving on to another or you may miss 
      important clues.  Search walls for doors and passages.

02.   If you are in the first-level, avoid going into the second and third 
      level of the dungeon until you feel comfortable with the current level.  
      Make short forays into the dungeons at first--and keep the stairway 
      close by.

03.   When you are low on spell power or hit points, get out of or avoid 
      combat situations.  If you assault "one more monster", you may assault 
      your very last monster.

04.   Diversify your party.  Do not encumber yourself with six fighters who 
      are unable to get out of a situation that one magic user could have 
      swiftly resolved with a spell.

05.   Distribute yourselves strategically within the group.  You will not 
      want your Shisai in the front line being disemboweled by a cyclops 
      while the Samurai in the back row is spectating.  Only the first three 
      characters can attack or be attacked.

06.   Conserve your spells.  There is no point in wasting a sleep spell on 
      two gremlins when a dozen demons lay in wait around the corner.

07.   Save the game whenever something good happens to the party.  Should you 
      meet an untimely demise, you can recall your hard-earned spoils.

08.   Do not worry about equipping the entire party right away.  Just make 
      sure your fighting front line (first three characters) have weapons at 
      the outset.

09.   The inhabitants of the kingdom dislike those who initiate attack for 
      the sheer joy of fighting.  Avoid killing for fun unless you want to 
      make your quest substantially harder.  Once you attack an innocent, the 
      town will PERMANENTLY hate you (the guards will attack you).  Note that 
      some townsfolk are will initiate fights with you without you attacking 
      them.  The guards will leave you alone as long as you did not initiate 
      the fight.

10.   Return any documents that you find to the emperor.  You must also 
      return a very special object obtained from an important battle if you 
      wish to collect your reward.

11.   Ships get stolen so always keep your boats outside of town and NEVER 
      leave town without your ship otherwise it will most likely be owned by 
      someone else the next time you return.

      Also never disperse your group while your ship is in the middle of the 
      ocean.  You won't lose it but it will be "sitting" wherever you were 
      last at.  Unless you want to have a boat in the middle of nowhere, 
      don't disperse until you are on dry land.  Even then make sure you have 
      a spare boat otherwise you may have to pay 10,000 GP for a new one.

12.   While you can still beat the game albeit a harder game by attacking 
      townsfolk, you will NOT get far by killing the instructor at the 
      Training Academies nor by killing Tai (and others like him from the 
      food shops).  

      Killing the Temple Healer is optional depending on how powerful a 
      Shisai you have although I'd rather leave him/her alive.
      
      Also, as tempting as it may be to attack the Emperor himself, don't, 
      because you must give him a special object to win the game.  If you 
      still wish to do so, be warned that he is a powerful fighter (see 
      Ultimate Cheat below for what to do if you kill the Emperor).

13.   Macros are in the game for a purpose, use them.

14.   To camp safely without being attacked, just set a macro with nothing 
      but "space bars".  This will pass time much quicker than you holding 
      the space bar yourself.  Then have the group hide in a bush and use the 
      macro.

15.   Ultimate Cheat
      Ever want to get more than 1 rare item and more gold?  Well, the manual 
      hints at how you do it.  Here's how.  You will need to make 2 copies of 
      the Scenario Disks.  1 is the "real disk" while the other is the "loot 
      disk".  The real disk must never have any towns attacked (that's what 
      the loot disk is for).  It's only purpose is to ensure that you can 
      "reset" the town's view of you.

      You'll notice that the disk drive spins when you enter town, save, die, 
      or descend past a multiple of 4 in the dungeons.  The disk drive reads 
      the town status "as is" from the disk currently inserted, meaning that 
      if you attacked the town, it will be "evil" and vice versa.

      By inserting the "real disk" when you enter town, the town will start 
      off "good".  Once the disk drive stops spinning, you may take out the 
      real disk, insert the loot disk and plunder, murder, etc to your 
      heart's content.  Exit town when you're done.

      Once outside, reinsert the real disk and re-enter town.  The town will 
      be "good" once more.  Repeat the previous steps as much as you like to 
      reap unlimited gold, treasure, etc.

      Some places this trick is useful include the Yakuza Guild, Emperor's 
      Palace (remember to keep him alive after you're done though), Kobito 
      Mine, and any other town or dungeon where there are many treasure 
      boxes.  Note that along with resetting the treasure chests, any pre-set 
      monsters will reappear also (i.e. the Emperor "resurrects").

15a.  Ultimate Cheat corrollary
      If you happen to find a new item through battle and would like to have 
      more than one of it, simply copy the characters with the items you 
      want, rename them, disperse the existing group, form a new group and 
      trade the copied characters' items to your group.

15b.  Corrollary 2
      Be careful to make sure that both disks have ships waiting outside town 
      otherwise you may make the ship disappear when you use the cheat.

16.   Ways to get fast Exp
      a.    Attack ships and have the Mahotsukai cast Taiyohi on the sailors.

      b.    Fight in the Kobito Mine, Yakuza Guild, or any place that has 
            either many preset monsters or monsters that give good exp.

      c.    Fight "summoning" monsters (i.e. Stonebrows, Sailors, Behemoths), 
            always leaving behind at least one so it can summon more.

      d.    Use the Ultimate Cheat to reset preset monsters (i.e. Vampire in 
            cave east of Kawa).

      e.    The deadlier the monster, the more likely it will have better 
            exp, gold, and treasure.

17.   Save money from healing by raising a Shisai or two.  They will more 
      than earn their keep when a couple of your characters are killed or 
      stoned.

18.   To detect illusory doors, have someone, without a lockpick, try to pick 
      it.  If the door is fake, then it will say "Nothing there!".  However 
      if the door is real, then it will say "No lockpick!".  Open doors will
      say "Already Open!".

19.   To tell if you're teleported or not, there are 3 things you can do/look 
      for.
      1.  The screen looks different.
      2.  The shadows didn't move right when you moved.
      3.  Cast Ichihan before and after you moved. (Note: some teleporters 
          send you to the same level so Ichihan will be ineffective)

20.   To read messages on signs as long as you want without removing the 
      message, just use a command like cast, smash, search, etc.

 XIII.  OTHER MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION
=============================================================================

-------------------------
 A. Kawahara's Document
-------------------------
     To his most noble countenance, the emperor of demons & lord of death!

     Greetings Master!  I have done your bidding and sent forth the initial 
wave of creatures that were readied for the invasion of the kingdom.  I have 
also ordered a contingent of skeletons to loot and pillage the surrounding 
area.

     It is my duty to inform you that your legions have met with stiffer 
resistance than was anticipated & although they managed to raze the town of 
gold-rock the wizard somehow escaped destroying fully half of the army in an 
explosion the like of which I had not known was possible.

     I am currently in the progress of restoring the bulk of the army 
sufficiently to allow me to crush the emperor and send his soul to your 
domain that he may suffer for the inconvenience that his treasure has cost.

     Your servant,
                      Kawahara

----------------------
 B. Emperor's Decree
----------------------
     Go to Oceanspray where a vessel awaits you.  Hunt down the wizard's 
master and don't return until he is no more!

-----------
 C. Other
-----------
01.  Shukenja seem to be able to attack with their hands for damage equal to 
     half their level.

02.  Shukenja loses 1 AC point naturally every even level until level 32 when 
     it goes back up to 10.

03.  Fighter-mages learn spells 1/4 as quick as mages.

04.  Characters only gain experience if they attack.  It may/may not be based 
     upon amount of damage inflicted, monster killed, or just simply 
     attacking.

05.  Drinking certain water in dungeons can do one of the following to the 
     character:  nothing, +1 to any stat, fully heal HP, fully restore 
     character's POW, damage, poison, disease, or sex change.

06.  All townsfolk in any one town have all the answers to any valid keyword 
     for that town.

07.  Damage from dragon's breath is proportional to its remaining hit points.

08.  For amusement try drinking fire (will say "Aaargh!" and take 4 dmg)
     For amusement try drinking acid (will say "Aaargh!" and take 8 dmg)

09.  The negotiation price is relative to the monster's difficulty with 
     stronger monsters demanding more GP than weaker ones.

10.  Chests behind a certain sort of vendor are filled with his wares.
     Missile weapon vendor keeps chests with missile weapons, food vendor
     keeps urns with food, etc.  Ship vendors can't fit ships, so they just
     put in 1000 gold or so.

-----------------
 D. Bugs/quirks
-----------------
Here are known bugs/quirks of Deathlord.

Shukenja bug:  AC?  Someone please send me detailed info on it.
Ninja bug   :  AC?  Someone please send me deatiled info on it.  My ninja 
               seems to be unaffected, at least that's what I thought.

Fort Wintergreen bug:  You'll notice that the leftmost area you can walk to 
in the fort is right on the edge of the water which also happens to be the 
end of the disk sector.  Normally you can't leave since you will get the 
message "Invalid command" when you try to walk on water without casting Uku 
first.  Well in the fort, the disk will spin if you push against the water.  
This will cause you to exit the fort and be stuck on water.  You can reenter 
the fort but if you do not have a Genkai in your group with Uku, you will be 
forced to disperse your party either way.

Quirks include the 7 Gates's fire realm where you still need to cast Moakari 
to see even though fire is all around you.

Some monsters like Lost Souls ask for 0 GP when negotiated with.  You can 
refuse.  When negotiating, even if there's only 1 monster, it will still say 
"We want XXXX GP"


-------------------------------------
 E. The 7 Words meaning in Japanese
-------------------------------------

=============================================================================
Chijoku:  Dishonor (of the strong variety--"chi" for dishonor, "joku"
          for shame)
Daraku :  Degeneracy
Fushin :  depending on which kanji is used for "shin", it can be either 
          disloyalty or deceit
Nikumu :  Hatred
Osoreru:  Fear (probably as in cowardice)
Seiyoku:  Lust
Yokusei:  Oppression

----------------------------------------------
 F. Map size explanation (by Andrew Schultz)
----------------------------------------------
The reasoning for 48x48 is as follows:  I think areas are in general stored
in a 64x64 array.  But the problem is that any sector must also include what
the player can see on each side--which is 4 squares in any direction.  So 
they put a buffer of 4 squares on each side (for instance, for continents 
linked together this is necessary) and each sector is 56x56.  Now, if you
could "see" one continent/sector while on another continent, there is the
potential of 1) different monsters and 2)different icons on that other 
continent/area you might be able to see, which might have different 
parameters for monsters, etc.  So the continent must be 4 squares in (range
of view) on each side of the sector borders.  So lone continents can only
be 48x48.

Approximately 33x33 dungeons are a corollary of this.  I would imagine that 
they have a 64x64 map, with (0,0) as upper right and (63,63) as lower left.  
I re-downloaded DoomGolem's Deathlord Utilities earlier today, you can see 
the whole map, and that is the case.  He also mentions the 56x56 thing in a 
readme file I probably read the first time I downloaded it 3 weeks ago, so 
it's possible I read it, forgot that I'd read it on his readme, and told 
you--thought it'd be fair for me to point that out, because it may not have 
originally been my idea.

Here's what happens with dungeons:  "Level 1" is boxed in by rectangle
extending from (1,1) and (31,31) with exit stairs at (16,0) or thereabouts.
"Level 2" is boxed in by (1,33) and (31,63).  "Level 3" is boxed in by (33,1) 
and (63,31).  "Level 4" is boxed in by (33, 33) and (63,63).  Again, this is 
all a guess, but that is the general idea--dungeon is vaguely like a town, 
but it has rock borders on north, south, east, and west, with stairs acting 
as teleporters 32 squares in one direction and maybe in another as well(Unpan 
is not DOWN 1 as much as east/west/north/south 32!)  Row 0 is reserved for 
the stairs up to the outside on level 1 and possibly not used for levels 5 
and down.  (32,0) to (32,63) and (0,32) to (63,32) are all rock/bricks, or 
else you could jump from one level to another, which would be kind of weird--
you can, sort of, in the Pyramid of the Dead.

When you enter town, you start at a certain location.  Using the cartesian 
coordinate system, here is where you start off.  1,1 is the southwest most 
spot.  64,64 is the northeast most spot.

Direction entered    Initial location
------------------------------------------
North                (33,63)
South                (33,02)
East                 (63,33)
West                 (02,33)

                        **POTENTIAL BIG SPOILER***
=============================================================================
About finding Skull Keep, it's about how if you are on Oceana, you enter 
Oceanus's temple from the east.  Then you disembark to the south--illusory 
wall.  Take the boat on the other side to the Shrine of Evil.  You'll find 
that Hell Island is due north.  I saw it after I got the tooth and just sort 
of used it outside, and I stumbled on it.  I made a rough map of the fire 
area, etc. and got down to level 2, but I was just playing around & didn't 
have all the words anyhow.  Besides Unpan didn't work.

Unpan doesn't work because in the Skull Keep, you will encounter the 7 gates 
of "Hell" which are portcullis that CANNOT be smashed.  You yell one of the 7 
words and you can pass through.

 XIV.  FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
=============================================================================
Q:    What is Deathlord?
A:    Weren't you reading this FAQ?  It is a computer role playing game (RPG) 
      for the Commodore 64 and Apple IIe computer systems.  It was made by Al 
      Escudero and David Wong and originally published in 1987 (Apple IIe) 
      and later in 1988 (C64).

Q:    Where can I obtain a copy of it?
A:    Unfortunately, as much as you may want to play the game, Deathlord is a 
      very old game and for even older systems.  Consequently, you probably 
      won't find it anywhere.  However salvation can be found in emulation.  
      The Apple IIe version is available at 
      ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/images/games/rpg/.  Email me 
      for the Commodore 64 version.

Q:    What are the system requirements?
A:    Now this is a question ahead of its time.  Remember, there are only 2 
      versions of Deathlord available so there are only 2 systems it is 
      available for.  For the C64 version, you will need to have a C64 1541 
      or 1571 disk drive and 2 blank disks.  I assume it's similar for the 
      Apple IIe version as well.

Q:    Why are my characters getting mauled by ?
A:    Well I can't really say.  Depends on what monster you are fighting.  In 
      most cases, make sure your characters are equipped (It does no good to 
      buy a shiny new sword and not equip it).  If that doesn't work, have 
      you taken advantage of its inherent weakness? (i.e. Cast fire spells on 
      ice-based monsters).  If you're still having trouble, your characters 
      may not be high enough level to fight the monster.  Just go to an area 
      where your characters have no problem dealing with the monsters there 
      and level up a few times.  Then you should have no problems.  Of course 
      you can always try running...

Q:    I heard rumors of a ship that you can camp on.  How do I obtain this 
      vessel?
A:    You don't.  That's because such a ship doesn't exist in Deathlord.  
      Therefore, it is crucial that you find a town before your food supplies 
      are exhausted.

Q:    I'm broke.  Where can I get more gold?
A:    Have you sold all unnecessary equipment?  If you have, then make a gold 
      foray into a dungeon for the sole purpose of raising money (and EXP).  
      You can also try the cheat mentioned in the previous section.

Q:    I'm lost.  What should I do?
A:    Whenever you're lost at sea, just have someone cast Konpasu.  If you're 
      stuck inside a dungeon, cast Ichihan or Unpan to escape.  Remember, if 
      you keep a well drawn map, you won't get easily lost.

Q:    Do I need a party of six?
A:    Yes!  While it seems that theoretically you could win the game without 
      6 members, you will need them to carry the 6 items needed to win the 
      game.  The minimum number of characters needed to carry the items I 
      think is 3.  Theoretically, you only need the Sunspear, Sharktooth, and 
      Blue Crystal to beat the game.  The Lantern can be done away with if 
      you have the map of the level.  The Rod and Ring can be done away with 
      if you have a high enough Shizen to cast Santate and Hitate enough 
      times.

Q:    I need more help!
A:    Well, if this FAQ hasn't answered all your questions, there is a 
      Deathlord discussion group at http://deathlord.listbot.com/.
