Wizardry : Bane of the Cosmic Forge (Part 1) A walk through by Floyd Gillen Supplied by Phil Darke First a little about this walk through, I will tell you what you need, where to get it, where to use it and the right questions to ask the right people. I will tell you where to go by map names and numbered locations on the maps. At the end of this walk through I will tell you what the NPCs want to know or need so you can get what you need. Some things beginners should know; add points to your scouting or you will not be able to find anything and add points to your thief's skulduggery and don't change your thief's profession because it's skulduggery + level that = open doors. Now search map "Castle LEVEL" for whatever items you can find then go to the north wall where you will find a gate, to the right of the gate you will find a button. Use the search command to open the gate, then go "A" and search and you will find a key of Ramm. Now take any of stairs down to map "Castle -1" and go to "A" search for the cheese, then go to "B" and get the wine bottle then go to "C" face east and use the cheese. Go down the hall way, find the chest and open. There you will find the stuffed beagle you will need it. Now go to "D" and get the jailer key. The jailer key will open most of the jail gates just to the north of here, and at "E" you will find the dead man's log. You will not be able to read the log without another item, you will find it later. Next go to "F" and talk to QUEE QUEG, and buy some mystery oil. Next go to "G" the captain's den and say the password that you got from QUEE QUEG then you can go through the door, there you will see a gate. You will need a key for that gate, to get it go to the southeast stairs and go up to the top of the tower, at the door say "beloved" to get in, there you will get the key you need. Then go back to the captain's den, and open the gate and get the hook. Next go map "Castle LEVEL" and go up the side stairs on the west side and up to map "Castle +1" and go to "A" and get the keys of spade, then go back to map "Castle LEVEL" to the stairs on the left side of the fountain, then go up until you come to the spade door and use the key of spades to open door,in this room you will find a chest with some chrome keys, get the keys. Next back to map "Castle+1" go to "B". Use chrome key to open the door to the king's bedroom then go to "C" and open chest and get the king's diary and the gold key. Next go back to the king's bedroom and go to the northwest corner and go through door then use Ramm key to open gates, open north gate to get items out of chest. Then go on north through gate to "D" altar of Ramm. You are not quite ready for that yet. Now go back down the stairs you came up and go to the northwest stairs go down, and around to the left and down again now on map "Castle-2". Go down the hallway. you will find two gates and a door, go to gate two and use the gold key. Then go through the door, go north until a pit opens in front of you then go to the southeast side and face south wall with the button and search, then go to the northwest and face the button and search, then go back through the door and face the button on the west wall and search, go back through the door to the north wall where the button is and search. Open chest and get the book of Ramm, then go back to the altar of Ramm. While in the character review mode, use the book of Ramm to read it. It will show you the right buttons to push. Once done jump into the pit, and you will be on map "Castle LEVEL" the north gate will open and the south gate will close. Then take the stairs to map "Castle-1". @~More next issue - o -
