You should also have areasonable knowledge of how best to equip your party of characters and howand when to use spells.This is not a detailed step by step set of instructions. The walkthroughdoes provide general hints and instruct you in what items to seek, and inwhich general locations. This will help you progress efficiently withoutspoiling the general experience of exploration and the adventure of findingthe unexpected. There will be many buttons to push, pressure plates to stepon and locks to open. I have rarely mentioned these explicitly. And, thewalkthrough virtually ignores the ever present monsters in every locationthat you will have to clear out before safely exploring most locations.Everywhere you go you will find useful scrolls, weapons, health improvingitems, clothes, armor, etc. Collecting and using such items will beessential to progressing, but I only mention picking up especiallysignificant items which will be absolutely necessary to complete the gamesuccessfully.Stone Prophet is not a linear game, so this walkthrough is only one orderof events while many others will also lead to a successful game completion.---------------------------------------------------------------------------MAPSI have created the following maps from the on-screen automaps from thegame.

Click here to download SPMAPS.ZIP.GENERAL HINTS  1. This walkthrough assumes you either use the quick start party or     create your own two characters: a magic user/fighter and a     cleric/ranger.  2. If you run low on water, clerics should cast the create water spell.     It is a good idea to pray for the create water spell. Alternatively,     there is a well to the north of Muhar.  3. The little round green containers hold a yellow salve which when     ingested cures poisoned or diseased characters. It is called Keoghtams     Ointment.  4. The periapts will slow harmful effects on your party members if you     keep them in your inventory slots rather than in a sack or chest.  5. There are several NPCs (non-player characters) available who can join     you on your adventure. NPCs can be dismissed from the party and can be     collected later from where you originally found them, provided they     are not dismissed when dead. You will only be able to dismiss an NPC     when you invite a fifth character to join your party. Your maximum     party size is four.     The Undead Paladin is a special case. She will leave of her own accord     when you complete her particular quest. So I have left it to the end     of the game to complete her quest. You can complete her quest at any     time earlier once you have the skill, knowledge and equipment to do     so.     The available NPCs are listed here in my order of preference together     with the location they can be found.        o Undead Paladin - north-west of Burial Catacombs: Ground Floor        o Jackalwere Cleric - north-center of Sphinx: Hall of Insight (V1.1          only)        o Wemic Fighter - north-east of Obelisk in the desert        o Troll Fighter - on the way to the far north of the desert        o Ranger/Cleric - east of Neferti and north west of Set in the          desert        o Piotra the Thief - south-east of Muhar  6. I found the cleric spell, Flame Blade, was incredibly useful and I     used it almost constantly against all monsters. This works if you keep     your cleric at the front of the party. I also found Summon Insects     very useful, but they can hurt your party too.  7. Pyre elementals can be easily killed using Lightning spells or, if you     are protected against fire, just hack at them with conventional     weapons.  8. Use the Improved Detection spell to identify your best weapons.  9. Magic users will not be able to cast spells if they wear non elven     armor. There are some powerful cloaks of protection and elven chain     mail to be found. 10. Use the teleport tiles to travel quickly from place to place. They can     usually be found at the entrance or just inside each location. Use the     teleport spell (once you have found it) to travel quickly within a     region or between regions. I found the teleport spell particularly     useful in getting around awkward places. 11. Wear the Helmet of True Seeing as much as possible once you have found     it. This will enable you to detect illusionary walls and other     illusions. 12. Combine the pieces of the Seals in your inventory by clicking one     piece on another. You need four pieces to complete each seal.---------------------------------------------------------------------------OPENING SEQUENCESent to investigate a problem in the hither to unknown land of Har'Akur,your party of adventurers encounters a dying woman. She speaks of herbrother Poitra and the importance of her dagger to her family. As she dies,you become aware of a wall of fiery heat trapping you inside the desert ofHar'Akar.---------------------------------------------------------------------------DESERTPick up the dead woman's Vistani dagger.

Also visit the woman whose husbandhas left her and taken all their supplies. You will find supplies, spellsand clues in the other tents.---------------------------------------------------------------------------DESERTNow you need to get build up some experience and/or get some help beforeyou can easily cope with exploring further the Forgotten Shrine of Neferti.Wander extensively around the desert, killing desert zombies and giantvultures with regular weapons and dust devils with flame and fire spells.It is probably better to avoid any other monsters at this stage, so runaway if anything else approaches you.

Go to the Obelisk in the central part of the desert.---------------------------------------------------------------------------OBELISKThe main objective here is to find all eight scraps of paper (four blueedged and four red edged) so that you can read the inscription on the firstlevel. This is a translation of the inscription:"Hot gales the sands arise. Flesh corrupts and falls away. These are the signsof their coming. The wrath of Ankhepot burns the land. Who hopes to rule mustlure the evil to him. In the Ancient Burial Hall the Guardian of the Gate ofthe Dead awaits. She shall judge them by deeds both good and bad. Her son thesweet lute did play.

Walkthrough the hands going south to the rock. Turn east at the rock and walktoward another rock. Then turn south and walk into the Temple of Ra.---------------------------------------------------------------------------UNDERGROUND TEMPLE OF RAFind the eight tears of Ra (five on the upper level and three on thelower). Find the pictures of the hand maidens in the west central area ofthe Temple Grounds. Place one tear on each of the pictures of the handmaidens. Get the Seal piece. You should now have the complete HeirophantSeal. Place the seal in the circle of the pattern on the wall nearHeirophant's mummy. Leave the temple of Ra.Travel to Pharaoh's Rest in the far north-east of the desert.---------------------------------------------------------------------------PHARAOH'S RESTFirst it is a good idea to become invisible to avoid being attacked by theStone Golems. Use the dust of disappearance so you can attack the StoneGolems without them attacking you. They can be destroyed by +3 weapons.Alternatively, use the Fly spell to avoid the Stone GolemsVery carefully, as you must do this in exactly the right order, locateseven pressure plates on the floor. Step on them in this order: south-west,west, north-west, north-east, north-east-east, east, south-east, or inother words clockwise starting from 7 o'clock. On the map of Pharaoh'sRest: Tomb of Ankepot I have numbered the locations of the pressure platesin the order they should be stepped on.When you do this correctly, the way north will open. Go north and headdownstairs and fetch the Mallet and Iron Shield Key. Return upstairs.Return south and go upstairs (the stairs are toward the north-west of thesouthern area). Open all the doors with the Iron Shield Key or the Knockspell. Get the Gold Ankh Key. Wear the Mask of Hathor. Use the Gold Whistleon the picture of the falcon. Put the heart in the inventory. Returndownstairs. Make your way further north, opening the door to the north withthe Gold Ankh Key. Keep going north until you find a picture of a man onthe doors to the north. Put the heart in the hole in this picture. Get thelast Seal piece.After combining all the Seal pieces, you should now have the completeAnkhepot Seal in your inventory. Return south and place the Ankhepot Sealon the circular pattern on the wall. There should now be a one-way teleportbetween Pharaoh's Rest and the Temple of Ra. Don't go through the teleportyet.You need to create a safe and easy between the north area and the one-wayteleport. I recommend opening all the doors in the corridor on the westside by pushing all the buttons and/or using the Knock spell.Alternatively, preferably if you are fire resistant, plan on using the eastmost corridor.Return to the Gong and hit it with the Mallet. Go south then west or easttoward your safe corridor making sure Ankhepot is following you. He must bethree or four squares behind your party or he will stop following. Thiswill make it very easy for him to attack and kill your entire party, so youwill probably have to quick save and restore several times during thissequence. Also you may have to cast Fly if the stone golems get in your wayas your invisibility spell will keep failing. If you lose Ankhepot bygetting too far ahead of him, use a wand of enemy detection to locate himagain and retrace your steps accordingly. Once you have led Ankhepot downthe north-south corridor, head east (or west) then south toward the one-wayTemple of Ra teleport. If you are flying you must come down to the groundbefore you can enter the teleport. Make sure Ankhepot is behind you, thenenter the teleport.---------------------------------------------------------------------------UNDERGROUND TEMPLE OF RAIf you were successful, the scene should change to a fight between Ankhepotand Heirophant. Leave the Temple of Ra as soon as you can.Return to the Temple of Set.---------------------------------------------------------------------------TEMPLE OF SETGo down to the Dungeon of Set via a pit or the stairs down. When youencounter Senmet, kill him then use the Scroll of Retirement.The Undead Paladin will leave permanently now, so you can collect one ofthe other NPCs to join your party.---------------------------------------------------------------------------END GAMEReturn to the area above the Temple of Ra and go east into the now safeWall of Ra. Explore the red zone until you find a red scroll, the Scroll ofReturn. It will appear as a yellow dot on the automap. Use the Scroll ofReturn. Enjoy the closing sequences!---------------------------------------------------------------------------
