Druid: Daemons Of The Mind - Getting Started Taken from the Public Domain 1) Every person you meet is either meat for your battleaxe or a person to interact (i.e. talk, use something on him etc) 2) Look for all orange cursor spots in game - some of them can be missed at the first time 3) Explore all the screens - some of them can be missed at first time 4) Be sure to look at corpses - some of them have more than one item Slash 2 green monsters and quit to bottom of the screen. You get to the library - take all books you can & take amulet. Look at painting (this painting is dull but almost all of them contain new spells or useful info so I won't mention them after this). Read all books and one of them contains a gem - use it on amulet. Now you should be able to exit via door - you'll be briefed by Druids & will be sent to The Common Ground (you are here indeed). Talk to man to find out he can sell you card for 15 coins (if you have coins hacked then it's no problem but if you play fair you have less money now). Go up. There you can pick a bar with which you can pick the doors to the jail. Search corpse by the way. You may enter jail and slash a couple of monsters but I doubt you can find something valuable here for now and you'll eventually come to man who'll ask for your papers but you don't have them. Ah! There is a spot at the jail screen (not inside jail but outside - where the monsters were) with some coins for your sake. Exit jail and go southwest. There you can kill a man with enough coins to buy out a card from a man before. Do it! Now go right from screen where you bought card and you'll come in help a man in trouble. Talk with him. Explore other screens - 2 screens to the southwest of this one you'll find a killed man with papers - get them. The door near him isn't available by now, sorry. Now return a screen back and go down - you should see proprietor of gladiator's fights - show him papers and he'll invite you to battle - go and slash 5 dorks to get a bar for Obelisks. Now return 1 screen back and slash monster barricading your way - you'll come to map where go to 'The Archives' area, where use card on librarian to get through. Chat with librarian. Make sure you find a book with bar inside - that is in first library room - where the librarian is - at the top of the right shelf in the upper row. Also note that if you read a book about poverty more than once - you lose money. Also look for a book about passing the doors through. Now you can enter door which you cannot enter since this but before that go to book collector you helped out and sell him a book in which you found bar for another bar. Now you must have 4 bars for Obelisks now so go to map and travel to 'The Quoits' area, where according to directions on Hint Obelisk use appropriate bars on Obelisks and direct stones inside to face a side they should (you'll figure it out by yourself) - if you succeed a man will come and zap you to the first island to visit : Keown ... - o -
