There is nothing worse than getting emails from people who saw an old version asking about things that are already in the newer versions. Well, maybe there are worse things, but it IS annoying! A true walkthrough of Dungeon Hack is by far impossible because of the fact that no two games are the same. However, it is possible to list all the enemies, and the types of level situations that you will run into. This document looks best in Courier New at 9 points.

The Basics 2. The Levels 3. The Enemies 4. Items 5. Spells 6. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 7. Manual Questions (Copy Protection) 8. Cheats Final Words... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. The Basics ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Character Creation: ------------------- You probably don't want to go into a Dungeon as a straight class of anything. Why? Because you need both fighting skills and spells! You're best bet is probably either a Fighter/Cleric or a Fighter/Mage/Cleric. You REALLY need Cleric spells, and Mage spells are a good bonus. Why do you need Cleric spells? Not only to heal yourself (unless you like sleeping for days at a time to get your HP back), but also to get Create Food/Water and Underwater Breathing spells. Another good class is Mage/Cleric. You can't really play this game without having Cleric spells. Yes, I'm aware that both Paladins and Rangers get Cleric spells, but not for a great many levels! Choosing a Difficulty Level: ---------------------------- There are 3 main difficulty levels (Easy, Moderate, Hard) in this game. Those are fairly self explanatory. You can also customize your game if you would like a hard experience but with more food than a hard game normally has, for example. There is one option you might want to get rid of, and that is "Character Death Real", which means that if you die, all your saved games are lost as well. Not fun. Fighting: --------- One of the best ways to fight in Dungeon Hack is to have a Primary Weapon (try to get the most magical one that you can find, a Mace +2 is better than a Long Sword +1), plus you should use your Belt to hold 3 missile weapons. Then when you fight a battle, hit first with your primary weapon, then throw your best missile weapon. Quickly pick it back up and throw it again. And finally hit again with your primary weapon. Repeat as necessary. The only time that you want to use the rest of your missile weapons is if you fail to hit, and the first missile goes right past the enemy. Resting: -------- You can rest any time you get about 4 or 5 squares away from all enemies. There is not punishment for resting, so do it anytime you lose some HP! Spellcasting: ------------- To cast a spell (either Cleric or Mage) you need to first have the Holy Symbol or Mage Book equipped in a hand, then click on it like to attack. This opens your Spell List. Now you no longer need to have the Holy Symbol/Mage Book equipped. You can cast as many spells as you want, the only problem is that while you are casting spells you can't see the small map! Note: Remember you cannot cast MAGE spells while wearing armor. This does not include Mage Robes. Books, Scrolls, and Other Items: -------------------------------- Always save it before looking at a Book or a Scroll. These can often be cursed! Of course, you will also find a lot of valuable Books, such as Manuals of Strength (which permanently raises your strength by a point!). You need not worry about journal pages, they are always safe. This comes to me from smilingesper: It might be worth including how Spiritual Hammers are THE weapon in the game...they do good damage (especially at high levels), you can use two at once, and even if they miss they attack again when coming back...it's like 4 attacks at once... and furthermore you can move backward while throwing so the enemy can't hit you. They last really long too, more than enough for you to rest and re-memorize... And they can't be absorbed by Living Mucks. Identifying Items: ------------------ There are three ways to identify an item. First, however, I would do a Detect Magic to check to see if you should even bother identifying. Once that is out of the way, there are your three methods of Identifying. 1.) Trial and Error. This is the only one available to every character class at all times in the game. Simply use an item, and see what happens. In the case of wands and potions, you will now know what that type of item does. So if you use an Oak Wand, and it turns out that it is a "Wand of Unholy Butt-whupping", then forevermore every Oak Wand you pick up is already identified as the "Wand of Unholy..." This method does NOT work with Swords, Shields, Armors as you can't USE them. 2.) The Scrying Glass. This is the "Strange Mirror" that you pick up. It has the power to identify the items in your hand when used in your other hand. Neat, but has a limited amount of charges. I would recommend Saving before using it, then identifying all Magic Items that you have, then loading. 3.) The Mage Spell Improved Identify. This will identify any object currently being held in your hands. Great, but only if you are a mage. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. The Levels ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Always explore the level completely! You never know what you might find, a new armor, a very nice weapon, a devastating wand. The later levels get really tough and you need all the items that you can get! Tip: Don't just walk around looking at the map! You will miss niches in the walls, and switches on the walls that open up new passages. Each level has 2 normal types of enemies in them. Plus some levels also have a "boss". Not really a boss, but just a much harder enemy of which you will only find one. Usually near the stairs down. Tip: The spell "True Seeing" is your friend! Not only does it work like a Detect Magic spell turning all magic items blue, but it also reveals the hidden passageways. (you can't see them on the map, but you can see them on the normal screen) If you fall down a pit, you can use the Grappling Hook to get back up. Tip: When you find the stairs down to the next level, but you haven't finished exploring your current level yet, quickly go down them then back up. Why? You get experience for passing the level! Almost every item you get is used to open a door somewhere. Bull's Horns, Tiger Eyes, Agate Gems, etc. When you find a locked door with a weird thing by it that when you click it says "something is missing", you have found the lock. Now you just have to put the right object there. Tiger Eyes go onto a tiger, Bulls' horn onto a bull, etc. The harder ones are the Gems. You can usually see other gems, or sometimes just a similar color and texture to know which gem to use. Finally there are also other items like Red/Blue/Purple Mallets, which you use on similarly colored Gongs. Often you find the Key by killing an enemy somewhere. Tip: Most doors open via a button that is located right on the door. However, some open with a button that is located on another wall, try looking to the side, or across on the opposite wall. Also realize that some buttons don't LOOK like buttons. If you see an odd looking wall across from a door, click it to see if anything happens. Once you reach the end of the Dungeon you will find the BOSS. He could be any number of creatures, and usually isn't too tough. Once you beat him the game ends. Now for some tips on some things that you will find in various dungeons: Underwater Level: Make sure to have plenty of "Underwater Breathing" a cleric spell of the Third Level. Cast this and you will be fine. If you don't have this spell you will take a small amount of damage with every step and be unable to rest. Also, there is an Ioun Stone that covers Water Breathing. Typical Enemies: Water Elemental, Water Weird No Magic Zone: This isn't a full level. You'll know that you have entered a No Magic Zone because you will have "a strange tingling". While in the Zone you can't cast any spells. However, any spells you already had cast, such as Aid, are still in effect. Darkness: This one is fairly annoying. You can't see anything. Since your map still works that means that you have to use that exclusively while in the Darkness. So if you see a blue dot you have to try to pick it up. If there is a door you have to find out how to open it, which could include unlocking it. Finding a keyhole isn't so difficult. They are always about 2/3 up the wall, so just grab a key and try to put it in the center of the wall 2/3 up. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. The Enemies ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Enemies often have a range of hit points, that is, two enemies of the same type often WON'T have the same amount of hit points! Also realize that some enemies have items on them that could be of great importance, so don't run away from them! Ankheg An acid spitting bug monster. Balor A tanar'ri-demon, hittable only by +1 weapons. Blue A dragon-resistant to magic, and immune to electricity. Bone Naga Skeletal snake, takes less damage from sharp weapons. Bugbear A large goblinoid. Carrion Crawler A giant centipede with a paralyzing bite. Chimera A fire spitting creature with 3 heads: goat, dragon, lion. Cockatrice Cross between a bird and a lizard, its bite will petrify. Death knight An unturnable undead warrior. Earth Elemental A creature of Earth, hittable only by +2 weapons. Elemental Lord The final monster in the dungeon. Immune to all magic, hittable by +2 weapons only. Ettin A large tough two headed giant. Very powerful, and very dangerous (if not feyr dangerous). Flesh Golem Magical humanoid creation, hittable only by +1 weapons, and resistant to most forms of magic. These move slowly, so hit and then drop back by 2 steps to wait for them to come up, then hit them again. Repeat. You shouldn't get hit at all. Warning! Don't back into new enemies/pits/traps or you may end out in a far worse situation than a mere Flesh Golem. Gargoyle +1 or better needed to hit this stone-like monster. Ghoul Ghost warrior-undead, resistant to death spells and cold. Goblin A wussy humanoid, usually seen only on the first level. Grave Mist Strength draining undead, hittable by +1 (or better) weapons. Greater Feyr An invisible blob. A very tough enemy in that he ignores your armor class. Never ever fight two of these at once! If you are forced to, do this: hit one of them a few times, then run away, rest, and come back. Repeat as necessary. Greater Medusa Shoots poison arrows and petrifies with its gaze. Groaning Spirit Hittable with +1 or better weapons, undead. Hag Fast robed figure. Hobgoblin A stronger version of the goblin. Lich Powerful unded, magic using, and requiring +1 or better weapons to hit. Living Muck One of the worst enemies EVER. If you attack him with a sword, the sword will be ABSORBED into the Muck! If you kill him you may get your things back, but still... that's evil! (it's not likely that you will get anything back, however!) So attack with spells. One good and easy spell to use is Flame Blade, you can use it to attack like a weapon, but it can't be absorbed! Meazel A hag like monster. Minotaur A half-bull half man warrior. Mummy Undead, +2 or better to hit. Ogre Slug These big things have a 50% protection against blunt weapons, that is, if you hit them with a mace you do half damage. Orc A wimpy humanoid. Otyugh A grotesque monster. Has a lot of attacks. Scaladar Scorpion-type monster resistant to electricity, and bladed weapons. Shade Warrior An undead warrior. Wimpy. Shade Wizard An undead wizard, wimpy, but worth lots of experience. Shadow Strength draining undead, hittable only by magic weapons, with a resistance to cold spells. Shambling Mound An animated compost heap. Resistant to fire, lightning and cold, with all weapons doing 1/2 damage. Sheet Ghoul An undead spitting corrosive acid. Slithermorph Immune to electricity, does a lot of damage. At first glance you might mistake this for a Living Muck, but then its Snake Body pops out to attack. Spectre Undead, +1 or better to hit and its touch can drain levels. Spirit Naga A snake monster, with a poisonous bite. Steel Shadow An electricity reflecting undead. Sword Wraith An undead warrior. Tlincalli A poisonous half-man, half scorpion monster. Troglodyte A lizard warrior which reduces chances to hit. Troll Regenerating monster, well affected by fire. Umber Hulk Capable of confusion beetle monster. Undead Beast Resistant to fire and sharp weapons. Watch Ghost Resistant to cold, death, poison and paralysis. Water Elemental Hittable only by +2 weapons. Only in water levels. Water Weird A tentacle-like monster, unaffected by sharp weapons. Wererat Hittable only by silver or magic weapons. Wight Silver or magic weapons only, level drain ability. Save it before you tangle with these guys, and if you lose levels, restore it. (Lvl 7 Cleric, Restoration) Wraith Silver or magic weapons only, level drain ability. Wyvern A dragon-like creature with poisonous sting. Xill A beetle man with paralyzing capability. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Items ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Items can be identified by use of the Scrying Glass, by using them, or through the spell Improved Identify. You can only identify items in your hand at that moment, so place the item you wish to ID in your hands first. The Scrying Glass looks like a strange mirror. If you use a wand, or any other usable item such as a potion, you will learn not only what that item is, but every identical item. So if you use one Wand of Lightning, you will forevermore be able to recognize Wands of Lightning. This list comes from the Terratron guide, courtesy of Albert van Os.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: I just threw a missile weapon, and now I can't find it! A: It's possible that you threw it through an illusionary wall. Go straight ahead from where you threw it, and try going through the wall. Q: What are Coins for? A: There are 2 types of coins, silver and gold. You will find a weird looking thing in walls that looks like a small Blue Gong with a slot under it. Put a coin into the slot. Silver gives you all HP, Gold gives you all HP and cures your status (like poison). Q: I've found a door that I just can't open! There's no buttons, or locks! A: This means that you are on the wrong side of the door, there is a lock/button but that it is on the other side. Heh. Q: I lost my weapon attacking some weird black blob, how can I get it back? A: You can't. If the weapon doesn't reappear (and it shouldn't) when you defeat the Living Muck, then it is gone for good. This is really bad when you lose a Named Weapon (like the Mace of High Priest Myrh). Q: Help! It won't let me cast spells! A: That just means that you are in a No Magic Zone. Move around until you get out of it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7.
