Some of them are pretty powerful though. There are ones for Summon Daemon, Ressurrection and Negate Time.. --- Resistance p/w="DAWN" Opression p/w="IMPERA" --- Shard of Falsehood: In the underworld below the dungeon DECEIT (the word of power for DECEIT is FALLAX) Shard of Hatred: In the underworld below the dungeon COVETOUS (the word of power for COVETOUS is (opps, can't read my notes) Shard of Cowardice: In the underworld below the dungeon HYLOTH (I don't know the correct spelling, it's the dungeon on the Isle of the Avatar). Lord British's Sceptre: In the center of Stonegate (a keep surrounded by mountains, south of hope bay). Lord British's Crown: In the room and the highest level of Blackthorn's Castle. Lord British's Amulet: In the cemetary (in the underworld) where the slain members of Lord British's party lie. Lord British's Jewles: In the sandalwood box, found in LB's chamber after playing 6789878767653 on the harpsicord. Spyglass: Found in Farthing, given by Lord Steggallion. Magic Carpet: found in LB's Chamber Black Badge: Given to you by the chick on the island north of the drylands. Skull Keys: Found in tree in Minoc. Also, a girl will sell some to you in Serpent's Hold. Shadowlord of Falsehood: FAULINEI Shadowlord of Cowardice: NOSFENTOR Shadowlord of Hatred: ASTAROTH --- P/W for dungeon wrong="DALUD" --- You must yell the correct word of power at destroyed shrines to fix them --- Hidden 6th Circle Spell: REL XEN BET [Combat; Silk+Ash+Mandrake+Nightshade] --- Their is free healing in the towne of MINOC for those poor adventurers. You can always tell there's a secret door cause theres a little red dot, one Hi Res pixel. Check it out. Also, if you get thrown in prison, wait till around 10 PM or Am, and look out the prison door. A guy will try to sell you leys if you mention KEYS, but even if you reply 'no' you'll still get them. --- Gravestones in Yew: (in case it means anything) the sign at the entrance: May all who enter here know forgiveness Alas poor Fred he lost his head Here lies Tack who was on the rack Here lis Pat got eaten by the Bat Here lies The Upper half of Blackthorns tester Lower John was stanical he died on the manicles Here lies Yellowberg cold as an Iceberg Here lies Headwood no better than dead wood Underneath is Leif who turned out to be a thief --- Here's the theory I have on the mantras. If you looked really closely you should hav noticed they weren't ASCII, but RUNES. I think you've got to look them up on the runes chart and learn how to pronounce them right. Each character has a phonetic equivalent, right? So after you've done that, just either talk or yell to the flame, I don't know which... --- Always walk through fireplaces --- One more, the easiest way to tell what a potion does is to decifer the ruinic....for example, if the scroll says (in ruinic) KXC, that means the spell KAL XEN CORP. --- Iolo's hut is where you start out the game!!,this is where smith is,in the barn..(Iolo's hut is south of Yew and south east of empath abbey) --- Maic Carpet:found in Lord B's top chamber,skull keys must be used to get into here..the keys are found in minoc!,search all trees! --- ...Shrines... They are entered by going into a moongate at the proper time/alignment. I don't know what it is and how I've done it, but quite a lot lately I've been hitting them right. When you get there you walk into the middle and kneel before the flame. It asks you which virtue you'd like to meditate upon. You pick one and it asks you for the mantra. So when I told you the mantra was BMP for justice (That's ruinic, sorry) you would type BEH which is the ASCII equivalent. Three times. Then it gives you a sacred quest. My quest when I prayed for JUSTICE was "Go unto the Codex and learn the weakness of the Unjust." --- If you're on a quest for Honesty, I think I figured it out. Now I just have to go on the quest. This is what I was told in the Lycaeum. "A creature of great evil must hide it's name, for it is at the mercy of one armed with such a simple truth." This would solve my quest if it were for Justice (find the weakness, so I'm assuming this is the answer to the Honesty quest) Now I need the Mantra and another shrine. --- Try and find these people for help with the virtue named: Grayson of Britain Compassion Shirita of New Magincia Humility Saul of Skara Brae Spirituality Trian of Jhelom Valor --- Some guy in Moonglow is/has made a GLASS Sword. Tell him EB told you about it --- Ask the following people about the Resistance: Judge Dryden in Yew, and Archmage Flain in Skara Brae... --- To get to the Shrine of Spirituality enter any moongate at precisely midnight --- The GLASSSWORD is to be user on shadowlords, and can be found in the serpents spine. To climb mountains one must go visit LORD MICHAEL in EMPATH ABBEY and speak with him about the "GRAPPLE." To obtain a SEXTANT, go talk to DAVID in GREYHAVEN (Lighthouse) Shard of FALSEHOOD is at bottom of DECIET. To get more Skeleton Keys, visit SHENSTONE the armourer (dunno where he is). --- Seek out the TWIN SISTERS in COVE and ask them about the shard of FALSEHOOD. (basically tells you the information about the dungeon of deciet.) --- trapsin around the Underworld after going thru a waterfall I found this Captain Johne guy...seems he got sucked in there and found this gem broken into three shards, and the evil from it made him kill his companions and they became the shadowlords, he says he'll join too. Found this guy who had turned himself into a rat, had a spell to turn others into a rat R X B sixth circle, silk, ash, mandrake and nightshade. --- To go up a level, hole up in the forest for 9 hours. If you have enough experience, you'll go up. --- Here is how to get rid of FAULINEI, the shadowlord of falsehood. First, you need a few things. 1) LB's Magic Carpet 2) To be able to cast the DES POR spell. Find the dungeon DECEIT. Go in it and make it to the 8th level. Once on the 8th level, if you can't find the stairs to the underworld, then just cast DES POR and you'll be their. You will come out into a series of small caverns and passages. Climb SW across the mountains (assuming you have the grapple) into a system of caverns. Take the passage SW till you hit the first intersection of another passage.Turn NW and follow that passage until it forks to the NE. Go NE and follow that all the way up and around till you hit a big lake. BOARD your magic carpet and fly across the lake to the south until you see a waterfall, or a bunch of waterfalls. Take the waterfall, and then just fall all the way down through the rest of thef falls. Once you hit bottom, fly across the underground lake and in the middle their will be an island with the shard of falsehood on it. Get it. Then cast VAS REL POR to phase 1. You will be near moonglow. Fly your magic carpet north to the LYCAEUM and go in. Find the Eternal Flame Of Truth and stand directly below it. Y)ell: FAULINEI, and the shadowlords will appear right above the flame. Wait ONE move until he steps on the flame, then USE yur shard. The rest is done by the game. He dies. --- To get LB's Sceptre is a real pain in the ass, and you need to be able to get a shadowlord to FLEE from combat. Note, you can't kill one of them by normal means (magic or otherwise) so once you get the CRITICAL, they just run away. You need to get to STONEGATE, and either answer the daemons riddle, or kill him like I did. Then you need to defeat the shadowlords that will try to stop you once you have killedhe daemon. After you make the shadowlords flee and your all alone in the center of the keep, you'll see the sceptre surrounded by pillars and TRAP DOORS. USE your magic carpet to avoid the traps and get the damn thing and get out. If you don't use the carpet, you'll fall all the way down to lava and all your characters will DIE. --- The UNDERWORLD is very big, just as big as Britannia. The one you fall into via the whirlpool is kinda lame. To reach other parts, you have to reach the bottom of any of the 8 dungeons, then finmd the stairs to the underworld. That is how to get the shards. Sir Simon is on Mt. Isle, West of Spiritwood. \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/you have to
