Mongoose's Hints and Tips Sent in by (yes, you guessed it ...) Mongoose In this issue, Mongoose looks at Ultima V and Crusaders of the Dark Savant. More of his hints on Savant are in a later file. Ultima V (on the Amiga) -------- Team: Jaana............Yew Katrina..........Maginicia Gwenno...........Britain Geoffrey.........Buccaneers Den Search hollow trees, fireplaces and walls in towns for secret passages. Also beware of trapdoors, although in Yew, after getting some keys, it is well worth falling through one. When you start this game, avoid the nasty towns, visit the friendly ones, to gain as much information as you can. Also improve your weapons as soon as possible. You can also get money and weapons by getting on a bridge and waiting, but it does mean a fight. Crusaders of the Dark Savant (on the PC) ---------------------------- Get all players up to over 10 skill points for swimming; drowning is not fun. Get the Moonstone, New City ... under a statue. Go to Munkharama. Go to church in New City before leaving because you will indirectly need help from a munk when you reach the bridge? Search the waters round a statue in Munkharama, make the right sacrifice, then hold up the Moonstone for the statue. Finally, for this time, in the Dungeon under Munkharama, to stop falling down a level you must follow the wall around until you are on the west side of the trap door and then use the notched stick in the hole in the wall. Go back to the room behind the lever door and the trapdoor is frozen shut. You can then use the stairs. ------------------------------ | ____ ____ ____ | | | | | | | Part section | | | | | |___ of Dungeon | | | | | level one | |---------------------------- under | | | ( ) |/////////// Munkharama | H>| | S T |D \L | | | ( ) |/////////// H = Hole | ---------------------------- S = Stairs | | | | | ___ T = Trap | | | | | | D = Door | |____ |____| ____| | L = Lever |____________________________|
