                  Part 7 of an exploration

     As played by Ron Rainbird on an Amiga 500 (1 meg)

@~Continued from last issue

Having killed the Dragon (I hope), go North, looking at all
recesses which could contain treasures etc. Eventually you should
reach a further crossroads. Keep heading North until you spot a
secret passage in the North wall. Go down this passage until you
enter a maze. This will need careful mapping as there are loads
of invisible doors, but I've known many worse mazes than this so
keep going.  At the end of the maze you will see a lever which you
should pull and then go back to the crossroads.

Now go South until you come to a room with spikes. These you will
need to carefully negotiate, but keep going and you will reach
the Fortress. Now move around the edges of the room if you want to
survive. There is treasure at the Southeast end of the room,
whilst in the Northeast end there is another handle to pull.  Now
to the Northwest corner where there is a door guarded by a Knight.
Naturally you must dispose of him before you may use the door.
Leave by the room's North exit and proceed along the corridor
until you come to a small room on the West side. Enter and operate
the mechanism there.

Back to the corridor and go to the end. Here there is a Gorgon
which takes a bit of getting rid of. Once past her (its?) corpse
you will find a life-giving fountain so drink until your life
points are restored. Go South to a labyrinth and, at the end, go
South then East until you find another room to the West, which
you must enter to operate some more mechanism. Back to the passage
and follow it to the end.

After a fight with some Guards, activate the trap door next to a
grille which will open. Walk through, and when you arrive at the
next crossroads, go North. At the end of this passageway you will
find treasure and more mechanism to be operated. Back to the
crossroads and go South where you will encounter a Magician. Talk
to him - he is friendly (I think). Go back to the corridor and
head North.

At the end of the passage, put the parrot before the large ear and
wait. The passage will open. Carry on walking until you arrive at
a room with some lethal ceiling blocks. Dodge them as you go
through the room (easier said than done). In the next room, again
work your way around the edges and you will be ready for the last
battle.

Cast a Psychic Spell and go to the North Door. Shandar appears and
you now have the chance to kill him. Having done that (ha, ha)
work your way back to the harbour and watch the grand finale.

The End
