Dungeon Master - General Hints

                Taken from SynTax PD disk 12

FIRST LEVEL:

CAST YOUR INFLUENCE: You throw a 1/6 spell to open the door then
you throw a object through the door.

LOCKED DOOR..BLUE SHIELD, YOU SEE A CHEST: Find the door and 
strike it down with your sword.

SECOND LEVEL:

After going downstairs face the left wall. Go 6 or 7 spaces and 
you will find a switch which opens a secret panel where you will
find a compass to use with the Matrix room.

Vault room: Remove coin and replace with something else - the 
door will now stay open.

Time is of the Essence: Push button and move very quickly to get 
through first passageway. Push button, turn around and throw 
something through the blue field. The pit will then close. Push 
the button and walk backwards.

Chamber of the Guardians: Push the button next to the chest until 
the chest appears outside. In chest use the mirror of dawn to open 
secret passage next to blue eye.

LEVEL 4:

Transporter Room: The way through to get to the room is as you 
land you turn RIGHT..RIGHT..180..LEFT..180..RIGHT

Button Room: You push the buttons as they show up until you have 
pushed 5 of them - you may have to push them more than once. Mark 
them as you push them so that you can keep track.


Neverending Room: Find the button on the wall. Push it, then go 
back to where you came in the big room. Turn left and follow the 
wall to get to the next room.

Pit Room: In the room to the left there are many secret rooms 
starting to the left by walking through the wall while facing the
arm and wood shackles. There are 3 secret rooms in all after
entering.

On level 3 there is another staircase that leads back to level 2. 
There is a room that has a closed gate. In that room you will find 
screamers. When you leave the room the door will close and they
will be reborn, therefore it's an endless food supply.

LEVEL 5:

Riddle room:

   I am all- I am none: mirror of dawn

   An arch but no back: bow

   Hard as a rock, blue as the sky, twinkle in a woman's 
   eye: blue gem

   A golden head but no body: gold coin

Midas room: Place a coin in the hole in the wall.

Room with locked gate and no way to open it: Place a heavy object 
where the transporter appears and turn it on.

After going through the locked door you will come across a room 
that is locked and in it you will find a magical box. As you leave 
you will see a ring on the wall. Push it; you will open a secret 
passageway.

Strength Hall: shoot an arrow or throw a dagger - if it comes back,
try again. If not, go around a corner and a gate will be open.

LEVEL 7: 

The easiest way to shut off the fireballs is to drop down into the 
pits and then drop into the next one and bring yourself back to 
the surface and walk forward. In front of you will be the shut-off 
for the deflector and the fireballs.

LEVEL 8:

     When is a rock not a rock: when it is nothing.

Step to the left one step and walk through the wall. As you get 
through the wall, mark it so that you can find your way back.

Also on that level there is a area in the hallway that spins you 
180 degrees so you end up going back where you came from. Use 
magical footprints or throw things down the hallway. When they come 
back you are there. Mark that area and when you get there, turn 180 
as you get there.

     What is at your feet is overhead: you step on switches and 
     fireballs hit you.

The easiest way is to put something on the switches as you get 
out of the way of the fireballs. With something on the switches 
they will only fire once and you can pass right through. There are 6 
floor switches, 3 on each side.

     What is lighter than air: the corbamite you found earlier.

     Beware of my twisted fate: The room is set up like a snake, you 
     have to go through in a winding fashion.

Clockwise room: go counter-clockwise to get to all the different 
area of the room. You must start at the sign that says clockwise 
and move to a different section by going counter-clockwise.

Poison Room: get the sword and stay where you are until the cloud 
clears. When the cloud clears step forward and kick off another trap 
and move back to the clear area until you're out the door.

How to kill the Dragon:

Lead him back to the stairway you came down and then attack him 
with spells and weapons. When you see a fireball coming, run 
upstairs to safety.

To get the power gem to merge with the firestaff you must use the 
Zokathra spell. A little advice... have everything you want in the 
dragon area before you do this for afterwards there is no way out.

Next to the power gem in the locked room is a rebirthing chamber 
so save those coins - it's the only way in.
