å  THE IMMORTAL
å  **** TYPED IN BY SPECTRE OF NASTY ****

å  THE MORNING SUN HEATS THE JAGGED PEAKS AS YOU FOLLOW THE
FORGOTTEN ROAD DOWN TO THE VALLEY FLOOR. THE BLEACHED RUINS OF
GREAT COLUMNED TEMPLES AND TOWERING CITADELS RISE FROM THE GRASSY
PLAIN LIKE THE BONES OF SOME COLOSSAL BEAST. THIS WAS THE ANCIENT 
CITY OF ERINOCH, DESTROYED BY DRAGON'S FIRE OVER 1000 YEARS AGO. 
MORDAMIR SPOKE OFTEN OF THIS CITY...AND THE LABYRINTH BEL`OW...


å  MORDAMIR. YOU THINK BACK TO THE DAYS WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG AND 
EAGER TO LEARN TO THE SPELLS OF SORCERY. THE OLD WIZARD MORDAMIR 
TOOK YOU IN AND PATIENTLY TAUGHT YOU THE ARTS OF MAGIC. HE TAUGHT 
YOU HOW TO READ THE RUINS AND UNLEASH THEIR POWER. THE POWER OF 
CHARMS AND FIRE. HE SHOWED YOU THE STRENGTH OF STEEL AND TAUGHT 
YOU TO USE YOUR WIZARDS CUNNING. MORDAMIR WAS YOUR MASTER, YOUR 
MENTOR. HE WAS YOUR GUIDE DOWN THE TREACHEROUS PATH OF WIZARDRY. 
HE WAS YOUR FRIEND.


å  MANY YEARS HAVE PASSED SINCE YOU LAST SAW THE OLD MAN. YOU 
ASSUMED HE WAS DEAD - THAT IS, UNTIL A FEW NIGHTS AGO, WHEN HE 
CALLED TO YOU IN A DREAM. YOU WOKE WITH THE UNEASY FEELING THAT 
MORDAMIR STILL LIVED - TRAPPED IN A BOTTOMLESS CAVERN. AND SO YOU 
SET OUT TO UNRAVEL THE SECRETS OF THE IMMORTAL.

CHALLENGING PARTS OF THE GAME IS FIGURING OUT WHICH ITEM THE 
SITUATION DEMANDS. WHEN YOU FIRST GET AN ITEM, THERE'S NO WAY TO 
KNOW WHAT IT DOES UNTIL YOU TRY IT. YOU CAN GUESS AN ITEM'S 
GENERAL USE - YOU WEAR RINGS, YOU DRINK POTIONS - BUT YOU CAN'T 
KNOW AN ITEM'S MAGICAL PROPERTIES UNTIL YOU TRY IT.< DON'T DROP 
ITEMS YOU'LL NEED LATER!!! SOMETIMES USING AN ITEM CONSISTS OF 
SETTING IT ON THE GROUND - FOR EXAMPLE, YOU USE A GEM BY SETTING 
IT DOWN. BE CAREFUL! IF YOU SET AN ITEM DOWN IN THE WRONG PLACE,

å  A GUIDE TO LEVEL 1

å  1 A PLEA FOR HELP
 THE CANDLE FLAME LEAPS AND HISSES AS YOU ENTER THE SMALL 
ANTECHAMBER THAT LEADS TO THE FIRST LEVEL OF THE DUNGEON. A SKULL 
STARES VACANTLY AT THE DANCING SHADOWS ON THE WALL, A GRIM 
REMINDER THAT THIS IS NO PLACE FOR MORTAL MEN. 

 AS YOU APPROACH THE TABLE, AN IMAGE OF MORDAMIR, YOUR LONG LOST 
MASTER IN THE ARTS OF WIZARDY, RISES EERILY FROM THE FLAME. IT 
SPEAKS....

 "MORDAMIR IS HERE!" YOU WHISPER. YOU TURN TOWARD THE DOOR. 
"DUNRIC..." YOU THINK, "ANOTHER OF MORDAMIR'S STUDENTS, NO DOUBT. 
THE MASTER HAS TAUGHT MANY IN HIS LONG LIFE." THE THOUGHT THAT YOU 
AREN'T THE ONLY ONE LOOKING FOR MORDAMIR COMFORTS YOU...FOR THE 
MOMENT. <YOU'LL NEED TO FIGHT VERY SOON, SO READ THE SECTION ON 
COMBAT BEFORE YOU LEAVE THIS ROOM.>

å  2 GOBLIN ATTACK

 THE SOUND OF CLASHING STEEL RINGS THROUGH THE AIR AS YOU ENTER 
THE LONG CHAMBER. BEFORE YOU LIES AN ARMORED FIGURE - A MAN - THE 
BLLOD FROM HIS WOUNDS STILL COOLING BETWEEN THE TILES OF THE STONE 
FLOOR. 

 TO YOUR RIGHT YOU HEAR A SNARL. FROM ACROSS THE ROOM A GIANT 
GOBLIN LUMBERS TOWARD YOU, HIS SINEWY MUSCLES RIPPLING AS HE 
RAISES HIS MACE OVER HIS HEAD. YOU RAISE YOUR SWORD, READYING 
YOURSELF...

å  3 DUNRIC'S SERVANT

 "WHO WAS THIS UNFORTUNATE?" YOU WONDER. YOU SEARCH HIS BODY AND 
FIND A SMALL BAG CONTAINING A RING AND A SCROLL. INSCRIBED ON THE 
INSIDE OF THE BAND IS A NAME: DUNRIC.

 "A FIGHTER WOULDN'T HAVE NEED FOR A SCROLL OR A RING," YOU 
THINK," THIS CAN'T BE DUNRIC. PERHAPS DUNRIC'S SERVANT..."

 THE SOUND OF RENEWED BATTLE SNAKES YOU FROM YOUR THOUGHTS. 
"SOMEONE ELSE IS IN TROUBLE," YOU MUTTER, PICKING UP YOU STAFF...
<YOU CAN SEARCH FOR ITEMûS JUST BY MOVING TO AN AREA YOU WANT TO 
SEARCH. IF THERE IS ANYTHING OF INTEREST IN THE AREA, A MESSAGE 
WILL APPEAR TELLING YOU WHAT IT IS.

å  4 FIRE AT YOUR FINGERTIPS

 YOU GLANCE DOWN AT THE LEATHERY PARCHMENT SCROLL YOU'RE CLUTCHING 
AND REALIZE YOU'RE HOLDING A SPELL OF FIREBALLS. YOU STOP FOR A 
MOMENT. CLEARING YOUR MIND, YOU READ THE RUNES, SPEAKING THE 
ARCANE WORDS OUT LOUD, SLOWLY UNRAVELING THE COILED GLYPHS AND 
WEAVING TOGETHER THE INCANTION. A TINGLING POWER GATHERS AT YOUR 
FINGERTIPS. YOU HOLD THE ELEMENT OF FIRE...<PRESS THE SPACEBAR TO 
LOOK THROUGH YOUR PACK. MOVE THE CURSOR TO 3 SHOTS AND PRESS THE 



JOYSTICK BUTTON. WHEN YOU'RE READY TO CAST A FIREBALL, PRESS THE 
JOYSTICK BUTTON.

å  5 MORDAMIR'S SERVANT

 AS YOU ROUND THE CORNER, THE FRENZIED MOVEMENT OF COMBAT 
IMMEDIATELY CATCHES YOUR EYE. A HUGE GOBLIN, HIS HANDS WRAPPED 
AROUND THE END OF A WICKED MACE, SWINGS FURIOUSLY AT AN EQUALLY 
POWERFUL HUMAN WARRIOR. THE MAN MANAGES TO DEFLECT TWO BLOWS 
BEFORE HE FALTERS AND FALLS BACK - IT'S OBVIOUS THAT HE'S NEAR 
EXHAUSTION.
 REELING ABOUT, THE GOBLIN BARES HIS TEETH AND LEAPS TOWRD 
YOU."DON'T INTERFERE!" HE SNARLS. YOU COULD FIGHT HIM,YOU THINK 
BUT YOUR FINGERTIPS STILL ITCH WITH THE ELEMENT OF FIRE. THE WORD 
OF POWER SLIDES EASILY OFF YOUR TONGUE...
 THE FIREBALL EXPLODES ON THE GOBLIN AND HE FALLS TO THE FLOOR. 
YOU APPROACH THE WARRIOR. "YOU MUST FIND MORDAMIR," THE WARRIOR 
SAYS. HANDING YOU A KEY, HE HURRIES OUT THE DOOR.
 THE KEY, YOU DISCOVER,OPENS A NEARBY CHEST. INSIDE THE CHEST YOU 
FIND A COLLECTION OF STRANGE ITEMS:GOLD, A POUCH FULL OF BAIT,A 
SACK OF SPORES, A BOTTLE CONTANING WHAT LOOKS LIKE NORMAL WATER, 
AND A TATTERED MAP.
 YOU PLACE ALL THE ITEMS IN YOUR PACK."MAY NEED THEM LATER," YOU 
THINK. SLINGING THE PACK OVER YOUR SHOULDER, YOU SLIP THROUGH THE 
UPPER DOOR.

å  6 THE LIEUTENANT'S TREASURE

 YOU SHUT THE DOOR BEHIND YOU AND LOOK DOWN BOTH ENDS OF THE 
CORRIDOR. TO YOUR RIGHT YOU DISCERN THE SHADOWY OUTLINE OF ANOTHER 
GOBLIN.
 THOUGH HE'S NOTICED YOU, HE'S NOT MOVING TOWARD YOU." TWO MORE 
FIREBALLS," YOU WHISPER, LIFTING YOUR HAND," AND THIS ONE'S FOR 
YOU."
 YOU SEARCH THE LIEUTENANT AND FIND A NOTE,A KEY, AND MORE GOLD. 
YOU HASTILY OPEN THE NOTE. THE HANDWRITING, YOU NOTICE, IS 
DISTINCTLY HUMAN. IT LOOKS FAMILIAR.
 "BEWARE OF SHADES,"YOU READ," THEY ARE DANGEROUS, INVISIBLE 
CREATURES THAT LIKE DARKNESS. BY FIRELIGHT THEY CAST A SHADOW BY 
WHICH YOU CAN DETECT AND AVOID THEM."
 YOU DROP THE NOTE AND STEP THROUGH THE UPPER DOOR.
 STONE SKULLS LINE THE WALLS OF THE CHAMBER IN WHICH YOU FIND 
YOURSELF. YOUR WIZARD'S SENSE TELLS YOU THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG 
WITH THIS ROOM, BUT YOU'RE NOT SURE WHAT. YOU'VE SEEN THIS ROOM 
BEFORE...OR A PICTURE OF IT, THAT IS...
 YOU OPEN YOUR PACK AND PULL OUT A MUSTY TOME:THE CODEX OF THE 
SERPENT.<YOU'LL FIND THE CODEX OF THE SERPENT IN THIS MANUAL>

å  7 SHADES IN THE SHADOWS

 YOU NARROWLY ESCAPE THE FLYING ARROWS WITH YOUR LIFE! YOU SLAM 
THE DOOR SHUT BEHIND YOU AND FALL AGAINST THE WALL, CATCHING YOUR 
BREATH. BUT THE ROOM YOU'RE STANDING IN SEEMS DISTRUBING, 
TOO."MORE TRAPS!" YOU CURSE.




 YOU OPEN YOUR PACK AND TAKE OUT THE MAP YOU FOUND IN THE CHEST. 
THIS ROOM DOES RESEMBLE ONE OF THE ROOMS TRACED ON THE PARCHMENT. 
YOU NOTICE SOME CONSPICUOUS RED DOTS - THEY MUST MARK DANGER. 
THERE ARE RED DOTS MARKING TRAPS IN THE NEXT ROOM, TOO. THESE ARE 
SURELY THE HALLS OF HELL! SKIRTING ALONG THE UPPER WALL, YOU MAKE 
YOUR WAY OVER TO THE DOOR.
 THE DOOR OPENS INTO A DARK ROOM. YOU NOTICE THAT THE TORCHES 
ALONG THE WALLS ARE OUT, AND SUDDENLY YOU REMEMBER THE WARNING ON 
THE NOTE - SHADES!
 A FIREBALL COULD LIGHT THE TORCH. MOVING ALONG THE WALL, YOU 
SHOOT YOUR LAST FIREBALL. THE TORCH LIGHTS, AND JUST AHEAD YOU 
MAKE OUT THE SHADOWS OF TWO SHADES.
 ON THE FAR END OF THE ROOM YOU MAKE OUT SOME OBJECTS ON THE 
FLOOR. MINDFUL OF THE TRAPS AND SHADES, YOU CROSS THE ROOM AND 
PICK UP A CURIOUS AMULET AND A SPELL WITH WHICH YOU CAN CHARM WILL 
O' THE WISPS. WITH YOYR EYE STILL ON TH ETWO SHADES, YOU CROSS 
DOWN TO THE DOOR. LOCKED! FORTUNATELY, YOU HAVE THE KEY...

å  8 BY THE LIGHT OF ETERNITY

 IN THE ROOMYOU FIND A DEEP, ABRUPT CAVERN  IN THE DUNGEON FLLOR. 
WHAT TERRIBLE POWER, YOU IMAGINE, COULD BORE SUCH A HOLE THROUGH 
THE EARTH! NO MAN COULD PERFORM SUCH A FEAT! THIS IS THE WORK OF A 
COLOSSAL BEAST. AN ANGRY BEAST...
 YOU NOTICE THE BEAM OF LIGHT PEAKING THROUGH THE DUNGEON WALL.THE 
SHAFT OF LIGHT FALLS ON A DIAL INSCRIBED ON THE FLOOR. AT THE END 
OF THE DIAL, EMBEDDED IN THE FLOOR, IS A BRILLIANT JEWEL AS LARGE 
AS A MAN'S FIST. THE JEWEL AND THE SHAFT OF LIGHT, YOU IMAGINE, 
MAKE UP A SPECIAL MECHANISM OF SOME SORT.
 YOU'RE CURIOUS ABOUT THE MECHANISM, BUT AT THE MOMENT YOU FEEL 
TOO TIRED TO FIGURE OUT HOW IT WORKS. YOU CROSS OVER TO A COZY 
PILE OF STRAW YOU NOTICED IN THE UPPER PART OF THE ROOM. SLEEP 
OVERTAKES YOU QUICKLY, AND YOU DREAM...
 WHEN YOU WAKE, YOU STUDY THE MECHANISM MORE CLOSELY. THE SUNLÆIGHT 
NEEDS TO STRIKE THE JEWEL - THAT MUCH SEEMS OBVIOUS. EVERY YEAR 
THE BEAM OF LIGHT INCHES CLOSER TO THE JEWEL. WHAT?! AT THIS RATE, 
THE SUN WON'T STRIKE THE JEWEL FOR ANOTHER 1000 YEARS! YOU DON'T 
HAVE THAT KIND OF TIME. WHAT MORTAL DOES!!
 PERHAPS IF YOU COULD REFLECT THE LIGHT, YOU COULD FOOL THE 
MECHANISM...AH, THERE'S THE ANSWER!

å  
LEVEL 1

å  I, MORDAMIR, WIZARD OF THE CRIMSON KEEP, WROTE THESE NOTES 
FOR YOU, MY LOYAL APPRENTICES AND STUDENTS, TO EXPLAIN THE 
MYSTERIES OF THIS DARK LABYRINTH.

å  TODAY I GO FORTH TO EXPLORE THE DRAGON'S LAIR. I HOPE MY WITS 
ARE KEEN ENOUGH TO ESCAPE HER CUNNING AGAIN! THUS I LEAVE THESE 
WORDS FOR THOSE WHO MAY HAVE TO COME AFTER ME.


 MAY THEY KEEP YOU FROM AN UNTIMELY END IN THIS FORSAKEN PLACE!

å  DUNRIC -  MY FAITHFUL STUDENT IN THE ART OF WIZARDY  - WILL 

BE THE FIRST TO COME LOOKING FOR ME. HE'S OFTEN ACCOMPANIED BY 
EREK, A FIGHTER.

å  ULINDOR - MY SERAVNT AND BODYGAURD.

å  UPPER LEVELS - A TRIBE OF PRIMITIVE CREATURES KNOWN AS 
GOBLINS. HOSTILE TO STRANGERS, BUT SEEM TO POSSESS REASON, 
INTELLIGENCE, SOME INGENUITY WITH TOOLS.

å  THE TRIBE GOES BY THE NAME OF DRUUL. THEIR KING IS GRESH THE 
WISE.

å  THE GOBLINS ARE CURRENTLY AT WAR WITH A MORE HOSTILE AND 
POWERFUL TRIBE OF CREATURES KNOWN AS TROLLS. BOTH SIDES 
DESPERATELY SEEK CONTROL OVER THE UPPER LEVELS OF THE DUGEON. 
PERHAPS A SHOW OF FORCE WOULD CONVINCE ONE OF THEM THAT WIZARDS 
MAKE BETTER FRIENDS THAN FOES... 

å  A SAFE PATH PAST THE ARROWS. IGOT THIS FAR BEFORE I SET OFF 
THE TRAP.<ROOM LINED WITHS SKULL HEADS>

å  DANGER! PIT TRAPS.<ROOM FOLLOWING SKULL ROOM>

å  IN THE DARK ROOM THAT FOLLOWS ARE DEADLY CREATURES, INVISIBLE 
TO THE EYE. ONLY THEIR SHADOWS CAN BE SEEN IN THE LIGHT. KEEP A 
TORCH LIT AND WATCH THEIR MOVEMENTS CAREFULLY. THEY MOVE QUICKLY!

å  THERE ARE PIT TRAPS IN THIS ROOM AS WELL.

å  RIDDLE OF THE SUN.

å  DEEP IN THE IMMORATL DRAGON'S LAIR
å  ONCE IN ONE MILLENIUM

å  SOMETHING SHINY...<THIS DISCRIBES THE ROOM WHERE YOU FIRST 
MEET THE HUMAN WHO GIVES A KEY TO OPEN THE CHEST AT THE BEGGINING 
OF THE GAME.>


å  
LEVEL 2

å  FROM A TEXT I FOUND ON THE HISTORY OF THIS EVIL PLACE:

å  "...AFTER TWO DAYS OF BITTER COMBAT, ARINAR THE ELVEN LORD 
ESCAPED THE ENEMY, BUT THROUGH HIS VEINS RAN A FATAL POISON, DRAWN 
FROM THE KEEN EDGE OF THE SHADOWLORD'S BLADE. ARINAR FLED OVER THE 
HIGH MOUNTAINS TO THE RUINED CITY OF ERINOCH, WHERE HE ENTERED THE 
LABYRINTH IN SEARCH OF THE FABLED WATER, SAID BY MANY TO HEAL EVEN 
THE DEEPEST WOUNDS."



å  "DEEP IN THE CHILLY CAVERNS OF THE FORGOTTEN LABYRINTH, THE 
ELVEN LORD SEARCHED DESPARETLY FOR THE FOUNTAIN, SLAYING THE EVIL 
MINIONS THAT DWELL IN THAT DARK PLACE WITH SOLONDUL, A SWORD OF 
GREAT MIGHT. BUT ON THE SECOND DAY, FOUL SLIME CREATURES CAUGHT 
ARINAR OFF GUARD AND STRIPPED THE FLESH FROM HIS BODY. TO THIS DAY 
HIS BONES AND SWORD LAY THERE STILL..."

å  LEGENDS HAVE TOLD OF WAYFARERS BEING ATTACKED BY WILL O' 
WISPS, I RECKONED SUCH STORIES WERE THE PRODUCTS OF CHILDISH 
IMAGINATIONS, BUT NOW I HAVE SEEN THESE HATEFUL CREATURES WITH MY 
VERY EYES. I KNOW LITTLE OF THEIR NATURE....ARE THEY INTELLIGENT? 
PERHAPS THEY ARE DISEMBODIED SPIRITS OF SOME SORT, OR MAYBE 
CREATURES OF THE ELEMANTS. IN ANY CASE, THEY ARE EXTREMELY 
DANGEROUS - THEY DISPISE THE LIVING AND EAGERLY ATTACK MORTAL 
FLESH.

å  MAYBE I CAN DEVISE A SPELL TO BRING THEM UNDER MY CONTROL...

å  SPORES - THE GOBLINS SOMETIMES USE THEM AS AKIND OF WEAPON. 
WHEN PLLANTED IN SOFT DIRT, THESE SPORES PRODUCE MUSHROOMS THAT 
GROW TO WAIST HEIGHT IN A MATTER OF SECONDS. THE FULL GROWN 
MUSHROOMS IMMEDIATELY FIRE MORE SPORES IN A RADIUS OF 30 FEET. THE 
SPORES, IT MUST BE ADDED, ARE DEADLY TO HUMANS, GOBLINS, AND 
TROLLS. THE GOBLINS TYPICALLY CARRY THEM IN SACKS TO PROTECT 
THEMSELVES.

å  THEY CAN BE RECOGNIZED BY THEIR STRONG, SICKENING SMELL.

å  YEARS AGO, WHEN SORCERER'S TOWERS STRETCHED TOWARD THE 
HEAVENS AND THE HALLS OF WIZARDY PROTECTED THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE 
SPHERES, THE CITY OF ERINOCH HAD NEED OF LOCKSMITHS. THE MOST 
CUNNING LOCKSMITH, I RECALL, WAS A DWARF BY THE NAME OF LINDLI. 
HIS LOCKS NEVER INVOLVED ANYTHING AS BORING AS A SIMPLE LOCK AND 
KEY. LINDLI'S MECHANISMS REQUIRED THE UNUSAUL - FINELY CRAFTED 
GEMS, BEAMS OF LIGHT, PACES AROUND AN OBJECT...

å  LINDLI PROSPERED WHILE SERVING THE WIZARDS OF ERINOCH. BUT 
WHEN THE DRAGON CAME OVER 1000 YEARS AGO, HIS HOUSE WAS DESTROYED 
AND HIS FAMILY PERISHED IN THE FLAMES. LINDLI WENT QUITE MAD AFTER 
SEEING THE BEAST DEVASTATE HIS DREAMS, AND HE CURSED THE WIZARDS 
WHO UNLEASHED THE DRAGON'S WRATH. HE VOWED TO SEAL OFF THE 
LABYRINTH FOREVER SO THAT MEN WOULD NO LONGER SEEK THE WATER...

å  THE MAGIC DUST CAN BE THROWN TO MAKE AN IRRITABLE OLD FOOL 
­YOUR FRIEND.

å  THE GEMS MUST BE DROPPED IN THE HOLES. GRESH THE WISE, KING 
OF THE GOBLINS, KNOWS THE COMBINATION. ONE MUST DEFEAT HIM BEFORE 
HE'LL SPEAK.<ROOM WITH THREE CIRCLE ENCLOSED TRIANGLES ON FLOOR>

å  
LEVEL 3

å  ONLY THE FIERCE MIGHT OF AN ANGRY DRAGON COULD SPLIT THE 
EARTH AND FORM THIS DEEP CHASM. THE CRACK CANNOT BE CROSSED BY 
ROPE -



 THE BRISK WINDS RISING FROM THE DRAGON'S LAIR MAKE IT TOO 
DANGEROUS! THE ONLY WAY ACROSS IS A MAGIC GATE - A TELEPORT 
MAECHANISM -  HIDDEN IN ONE OF THE ROOMS BELOW. THE SHAFT OF LIGHT 
ON THE OTHER SIDE IS WHERE THE MAGIC GATE LEADS.

å  TROLLS - THE SHINDRAK, AS THEY CALL THEMSELVES, RULE MUCH OF 
THE LOWER LEVELS. FOR THE MOST PART, THEY ARE STUPID AND QUICK-
TEMPERED - SOMETHING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF.

å  A TROLL WILL ONLY THROW HIS RITUAL KNIFE ONLY WHEN HE WANTS 
TO CHALLENGE ANOTHER TROLL TO COMBAT.

å  PROTEUS, A GOD OF THE SEA, WAS A MASTER SHAPE-CHANGER WHO 
COULD TRAVEL DISGUISED AS FIRE AND WILD BOARS. THIS RING WAS 
FORGED BY PROTEUS WHEN THE EARTH WAS YOUNG. IT ALLOWS THE WEARER 
TO TAKE ON THE FORM OF A GOBLIN. BEWARE! SOME ARE TOO WISE TO 
BELIEVE ITS CHARMS!

å  TROLL BOMB. ONE WHIFF OF THESE DEVICES AND TROLLS ARE 
PARALYZED.<SACK WITH FUSE> 

å  RED GEMS LOOK BEST IN PURPLE LIGHT.<SHAFT OF LIGHT ERUPTING 
FROM CENTER OF CIRCLE ENCLOSED TRIANGLE.>

å  
LEVEL 4

å  WHEN DUNRIC INTERFERED WITH THE TROLL'S BATTLE AGAINST THE 
GOBLINS, THEY KIDNAPPED HIS DAUGHTER, ANA, AND DRAGGED HER INTO 
THE LABYRINTH. AS SHE POSSESSES SOME OF HER FATHER'S SKILL IN 
SORCERY, SHE HAD NO TROUBLE ESCAPING THE TROLLS. BUT ON HER WAY 
OUT, SHE LOST A SPECIAL RING GIVEN TO HER BY HER FATHER.

å  SOME RINGS ARE NEVER WORN ON THE BODY<CIRCLE ENCLOSED 
TRIANGLE>

å  
LEVEL 5

å  THE POTION TRANSFORMS AND POISONS YOU AT THE SAME TIME. YOU 
WILL BENEFIT FROM ITS POWER TO SHRINK YOU, BUT YOU MUST FIND THE 
WATER AND DRINK IT SOON AFTERWARD OR YOU'LL NEVER PAST THE HOUR.

å  MANY MICE BUT FEWER MEN CAN PASS THROUGH A CRACK IN THE WALL. 
THIS THE ONLY WAY OUT OF THIS LEVEL.

å  WORM SENSOR -  THE FASTER IT CHIMES THE GREATER YOUR DANGER.

å  THE WEIGHT OF ONE WILL OPEN THE WAY. SET DOWN FOOD AND A 
FLYING LIZARD COULD HOLD THE DOOR.

å  
LEVEL 6

å  WHEN SHE REARS UP, SHE'S READY TO WEB. MOVE BACK!

å  SHE'S MOST VULNERABLE WHEN ALL FOUR LEGS ARE ON THE GROUND.




å  NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO IMBIDE SPIRITS.

å  
LEVEL 7

å  THE GOBLINS CRAVE THE WATER AS MUCH AS MEN, BUT A HORRID 
WATER CREATURE GUARDS THE WAY! IF THE WATER MONSTER WERE 
DISTRACTED LONG ENOUGH, THE GOBLINS COULD OPEN A GATE AND THE 
CREATURE WOULD BE WASHED AWAY INTO THE DEEPEST UNDERGROUND SEA. 
ONLY A WIZARD, ADEPT AT SAILING, STANDS A CHANCE OF DISTRACTING 
THE THE MONSTER AND MAKING HIS ESCAPE.

å  THIS IS THE FIANAL STEP BEFORE ENTERING THE DRAGON'S 
LAIR...DO WHATEVER YOU MUST TO HELP THE GOBLINS OPEN THE WAY. YOUR 
JOURNEY IS ALMOST COMPLETE - IF FORTUNE FINDS US, WE WILL STAND 
TOGETHER AGAINST THE DRAGON!

CLEAN POOPIE -  The kind where you poopie it out, see it in the 
å  toilet, but there's nothing on the toilet paper.

WET POOPIE -   The kind where you wipe your butt 50 times and it 
å  still feels unwiped, so you put toilet paper between
å  your cheeks so you won't ruin your undies with a stain.

SECOND WAVE POOPIE - The kind where you're done poopie-ing and 
å  you pulled your pants up to your knees and you 
å  realized you've got to go again.

POP-A-VEIN IN YOUR FOREHEAD POOPIE - The kind where you strain so 
å  much to get it out you almost have a stroke.

LINCOLN LOG POOPIE -  The kind that's so huge you're afraid to 
å  flush the toilet without breaking it up into tiny pieces 
å  with the toilet brush first.

THE GASSY POOPIE -  The kind that's so noisy, everyone within ear 
å  shot is giggling.

THE DRINKER POOPIE -  The kind you have in the morning after a 
å  long night of drinking.  The most noticeable trait is
å  the skid marks in the bottom of the toilet.

CORN POOPIE -  Self explanatory.

THE GEE I WISH I COULD POOPIE! - The kind where you sit for 
å  awhile and only fart.

SPINAL TAP POOPIE -  The kind that hurts so bad you'd swear it 
å  came out sideways.

THE WET CHEEKS POOPIE (the power dump) - The kind that comes out 
å  so fast you're cheeks get splashed with water.

THE LIQUID POOPIE -  The kind where yellow brown liquid shoots 
å  out so fast it splashes all over the bowl.

THE MEXICAN POOPIE -  The kind where it smells so bad your nose burns.

UPPER CLASS POOPIE -  The kind that doesn't smell.

THE SURPRISE POOPIE -  The kind where you're not even at the 
å  toilet because you're  sure you're about to fart, 
å  But, oops! - a poopie!

THE CLIFF HANGER -  The kind that refuses to drop into the toilet 
å  even though you know you're done - so you pray a shake
å  or two will cut it loose.

å  !THE GAME

You've  just  made a long,  hard climb up the rocky cliff  beneath  Akuma's 
Castle.   You  pull  yourself up onto solid ground only  to  find  yourself 
standing  before  a massive gateway,  your way barred by the first  of  the 
palace guards.  Beyond looms Akuma's palace, where the fair Princess Mariko 
is being held captive.  You must rescue her from the evil Akuma.

You  can withstand only a limited number of hits.   The row of  red  arrows 
across  the bottom left of the screen tells you how many.   Every time  you 
get hit,  you lose one arrow.  If your last arrow disappears, you die.  The 
row  of  blue arrows across the bottom right of the  screen  indicates  the 
strength of your opponent.  As long as you avoid getting hit, your strength 
will be replenished.

Every guard has a different headgear and fighting style.   As a  rule,  the 
guards get tougher as you advance into the palace.

When you kill a guard,  take advantage of the opportunity and run  forward.  
Watch  for  danger when you're standing or  running.   In  these  positions 
you're vulnerable to attack - one well-aimed blow could kill you!
