Another place to get a triple crossbow
Sent in by Lonica McClure
Besides talking to Gwenneth, there is another place to get a triple
crossbow, if you're willing to give up some karma points for it. Go to
Serpent's Hold, and go to the building that has all the beds in it. There
is a secret door in the north of the building with a magickally locked
chest in it. You can get the unlock magic spell from Horance in Skara
Brae. Cast 'unlock' on the chest, and open it. Inside is a triple crossbow.
How do I get out of Lord British's castle?
Go all the way south from Lord British, until you see the portcullis (it
looks like a door made of steel bars). To the left and right are two small
rooms with locked metal doors. Go into your inventory and use key B, which you
got from Lord British, on one of the doors. Inside, you will find a lever.
Look at it, then move it. The portcullis will be open, and you can walk out
through it!
What do I do next?
The first step in completing the game is to free the shrines. First, you
will need the corresponding rune for each shrine. These runes are usually
found in one of the towns near each shrine-talk to the leader of the town and
he will tell you how to obtain the rune. In section 2 of this hint sheet, we
will list the exact location of each rune. Don't peek unless you're really
stuck! You may free the shrines all at once, or one at a time, in any order
you wish. *Don't worry about the shrines of diligence, passion, or control at
this time!* They must be left for later in the game.
How do I free the shrines?
I've defeated the gargoyles, but I can't touch the moonstone on the shrine,
and I can't meditate. A: You must stand next to the shrine, go into your
inventory, and use the corresponding rune on the shrine. *don't use the
moonstones you get from the shrines! You'll need them later!!* Use the
moonorb Lord British gave you for teleporting (the one that produces a
red moongate- see page 27 in the manual for locations.
How do I use the chart on page 27?
'Avatar', at the center of the chart, means you. The locations listed on
the chart represent where you will go if you place the moonorb in that space.
For example, to teleport to Britain, use the moonorb, then when the white box
appears, use the directional pad to move it until it's 2 spaces above you. The
chart tells you where to place the moonorb to go to each of the other
locations listed. ***Where you are standing and which direction you face do
not matter. What matters is where you place the orb in relation to yourself.
*** You cannot place the moonorb on top of an object such as a tree,
bush, rock, etc., And you cannot use it indoors.
What are the best weapons to use?
We suggest using weapons that allow you to attack from a distance, such as
the triple crossbow or magic bow. Remember to keep plenty of arrows, or bolts
for the crossbow, in each character's inventory. The halberd is another weapon
that can hit several spaces away.
Where do I get a triple crossbow?
Ask Gwenneth at Iolo's bows about 'crossbow'; first you must speak to
someone in Minoc about crossbows.
What do I use Sherry for? How do I use her? Where can I find her?
Sherry can be used to scout around corners, or to go into spaces too small
for the rest of the party to enter- *hint hint*! The manual explains how to
use Sherry on page 26. You will find her in Lord British's castle, in one of
the hallway passages. Make sure you give her some cheese, from the dining
room, or she won't join!
I've freed all the shrines. Now what?
Well, the gargoyles are still around, right? Remember that book of
prophecies that Iolo grabbed just before you escaped the stone slab? Try
taking that to Mariah at the Lycaeum. Perhaps she can translate it for you!
I had Sherry, or I had a moonstone, and now it's gone!! What happened?
Relax! She's in one of your characters' bags! Go into your inventory and
put the cursor on the bag. Press the 'X' button, not the 'B' button!
How do I find the other half of the tome?
First, you'll need to find the gypsies. There are 2 sets of gypsies. For
the ones you want, look in Trinsic. You may have to stay around town awhile
before they show up. Then, when you get their information, look for Homer at
the tavern.
Where is Buccaneer's Den?
You'll need a boat or a skiff, which can be purchased in Minoc. Sail north
from Serpent's Hold to get to Buccaneer's Den Island, at 33S 34E.
Where is Mariah's Study?
It's the room in the northeast corner of the Lycaeum building. The silver
tablet is on the desk- it says 'piece of silver' when you pick it up.
How do I get to the Gargoyles' Kingdom? What do I do there first?
Go through the Dungeon Hythloth- the entrance is on the Isle Of The Avatar:
Use your moonorb to go to the shrine of humility, then look in the northeast
corner of the shrine area. Look for Captain John in the dungeon- he has a
scroll that will teach you the gargoyles' language. Use it immediately! Make
sure you talk to the young gargoyle Beh Lem first- he shows up right at the
exit from Hythloth, but only at noon. Listen to what he says, then add him to
the party. You must have him in your party, and do what he says, to avoid
being attacked by the whole gargoyle race!
Where is Stonegate?
Head south from Minoc in a skiff or a balloon. Stonegate is at 10N, 37E.
Don't attack the Cyclops!! Talk to him!
Why can't I open the doors on the first level down in Stonegate?
Go back upstairs, walk south from the outside door until you hit the wall,
and look for a secret door.
Where in Stonegate is the vortex cube?
Go to level 2, then go to the southwest room. Go down 2 levels, then
look for a secret door in the north wall of the northwest room.
How do I get to the Temple of Singularity?
You'll need the balloon. Talk to Lady Isabella in Minoc. Once you've got
the balloon, go to the slab using your moonorb, then sail north over the
mountains using the balloon.
How do I get into Sutek's Castle?
First, you'll need to blow up the door with a powder keg. Then, look
everywhere for secret doors.
I'm on level 2 of Sutek's Castle, but can't go any further. Why?
In the room at the NW corner, you'll need to throw the wall switch on the
right- not the floor lever. When you get to the horse, turn right. On the next
level down, head south then take the second passage heading east. Take the
ladder down. The plans are on level 4- search the balloonist lying on the
ground at 65S 52E.
Why can't I get anywhere in dungeon wrong?
First, go one room to the right and take the ladder. Now, go straight north
and throw the lever at 11:00, the one below the top left lever. Now, go two
rooms to the left and throw the left lever. Go to the room all the way on the
right, in the middle row of the 3 rows of rooms. Throw the lever. Go to the
room all the way on the left, in the middle row. Take the ladder to level 3,
and look in all the rooms on level 3 for a secret door.
Locations of the runes
1. Compassion: In the town of Britain, talk to the little girl Ariana in
the Conservatory. You will then need to get permission from her parents
at the Blue Boar Tavern, which is just to the right of the Conservatory,
across the road.
2. Honesty: The rune is in Beyvin's Tomb. Manrel, his brother, has the
key. Look for Manrel at the Blue Bottle Tavern in moonglow. To find the
entrance to the crypts, look at the wall to the right of the pail of
milk in the small room at the upper right of the Blue Bottle Tavern.
3. Honor: on the pedestal in the center of trinsic.
4. Humility: Talk to the mayor in New Magincia. William is in the fields
to the north. Conor Starfalcon is on the dock at the south end of the island.
5. Justice: Talk to the prisoner in the jail in Yew: Once you have the
key, go through the door on the east wall. Use the unlock spell on the
south door. The place the prisoner mentions is in Yew.
6. Sacrifice: Talk to Selganor in Minoc. Ben in the forest outside of Yew
has a log. Take it to the sawmill outside of Minoc and have them make
it into a board. Julia in Minoc will make it into a set of panpipes.
Gwenno can teach you "stones".
7. Spirituality: Talk to Marney, the little girl in Skara Brae.
8. Valor: Talk to Andy (Lyssandra) in the tavern in Jhelom.
Locations of the map pieces
1. Search the shipwrecks on the islands west of serpent's hold, at 71S,
15E.
2. In the dungeon shame, near Britain, at 6S, 8W, go to the 4th level and
find the pirate Ybarra. Bring plenty of food with you.
3. Talk to Heftimus, the one-armed beggar in Jhelom. The map piece is on
the 3rd level of the dungeon he tells you about. Look for the dungeon near
34N, 24E.
4. Talk to Arturos, one of the gypsies outside of Trinsic. You don't have
to pay more than 50 gold pieces- haggle with him. The gypsies move
around, but look near 41S, 12E- if they're not there right away, you
may have to hang around Trinsic awhile . . . Use it as an opportunity
to talk to Sandy and do whatever else you need to do in town.
5. Morchella in Serpent's Hold has a piece. The item she wants can be
found in the Dungeon Destard, or by telling Corona you want to join the
order of the Silver Serpent.
6. Look in the basement of the Pirate's House on Dagger Isle at 18N, 79E.
7. Mention 'pirates' and 'Sandy' to the mayor of Trinsic, after you've
done what Sandy (the cook in Trinsic) asks you to do.
8. Look on the 4th level of the ant mounds south of the Shrine of
Sacrifice. The map is at 25N, 86E.
9. Next, go back to Homer for instructions. Be sure to give him the item
he asks for!! It's of no use to you, and will have an adverse effect on
your spell casting while you have it in your inventory- plus you'll
lose lots of karma if you don't give it to him.
Locations of the balloon parts
1. Balloon plans: On the 4th level of Sutek's Castle, go to 65S 52E-
search the man lying on the ground.
2. Silk: Bring 40 pieces of spider silk to the thread maker in Paws.
3. Cloth: bring the thread to Charlotte in New Magincia.
4. Balloon bag: Bring the cloth to the clothes maker in Paws and she'll
sew it into a bag.
5. Rope: Buy from the rope maker in Paws. 6.Basket: Michelle in Minoc will
weave it.
7. Caldron: In the first level of the sewers under Lord British's castle.
8. Use the plans and you'll have the balloon.
