I find it!!!

The 5th statue!

Lev 18 the undead, in the NW room with 4 graves, you cast see reality and you find a teleport.

Now, I go for the destruction of the statues

Thanks Aveiron;

That was VERY helpful imformation concerning the location of the 5th
statue...I found it with your help. Thanks again. (level of the dead
with coffins in two rooms...seems obvious now)

I'm currently banging on the door on level 25 with no luck. Appearently,
you have to "crush, smash or break" the statues on the pentagram
(according to the guidance from some kind person in this forum).

Again, according to the forum imformation it's on the hell level. That
will be my next stop.

Happy Days,

Zapper

The pentagram is in the 24 lev. In SE room with a lot of teleport, one of that teleport in the laboratory with a little pentagram. In accord to a previus msg we must destroy the statues before going in the 25 lev. But is'nt so easy do it. I try and try and try... :ranting:
but nothing

I managed to destroy the statues at last. The reverse order means that you have to start with the statue that is farthest to the right in your inventory and work your way to the right, at least that worked for me.
To find the Demoncrusher you have to use the See Reality spell, you'll probably have to go deeper in the dundgeon to find the runes required

ok for the reverse order, but how to use the demon crusher? I try to use it, but "no use for this" is the response.
:eeeeeh:

Aveiron: Thanks so much for the help with the 5th statue.

Zapper: Sorry if I confused you. As I mentioned before I´m on the 25th level. Used that fireplug thing.

I´m not sure though but I think I remember having sb said that you have to place a statue on each end of the pentagram, which isn´t possible for the small pentagram. I think there is another one. Did anybody get access to that room where the man tortured is still alive? So I didn´t even try. There is something odd about this room though. Nothing special in it. I´ll go cast lot of see reality and tell you if I found out sth new.

Made it! Didn´t finish the game yet (because that son of a bitch caught me unaware and unrested) but I managed to destroy the statues.

Aveiron: You were right about the pentagram. You first drop the statue farthest to the right in your inventory on the pentagram. Make sure it lies ON the pentagram. Then you select use and then demoncrusher. Watch a short movie and repeat the process.

You´ll have company when entering lvl 25!

I would like to thank the folks who created and have maintained this web
site. It is well presented and maintained with an ecellent assortment of
games.

After reviewing this Web site, I noticed that "Ancient Evil" had a lot of
forum activity. This was either due to a level of frustration or real interest
in finishing the game.

I'm not real sure what makes a game interesting. If "Ancient Evil" touts
itself as a "role playing" game, I suppose that would set the game apart
from other games. i.e, strategy, action etc. A Strategy game would need
some form of strategy to finish the game etc. A Role playing game would
seemingly rely on the Role being played and how the Role is played to
spark an interest in the game and to finish the game.

As a Role playing game, "Ancient Evil" rather falls short of the mark. As
the fourm noted, the character selection (Warrior, Sorcerer etc.) seems
to play little part in "ancient Evil". In many games, the Warrior
doesn't cast magic and the sorcerer doesn't carry weapons, but
rather relies on magic) "Ancient Evil" is constructed more like an an
Action Game in that anyone can do anything. This is not necessarily
bad, only unexpected.

The purpose for playing "Ancient Evil" is not real clear. The object for
the game is, additionally, not clear. But then again hack and slash
in lieu of an objective has sold many games.

Normally, there is a defined or perceived reason for puzzles, accumulation
of weapons, money or stores. These are only "speed bumps" in this game.
You end up filling your inventory with useless items. Ultimately, this
only adds to frustration. Maybe you can carry your character into
"Ancient Evil 2" where this "accumulation mentality" will be rewarded.

While there is a lot of variety in the "look" of each level, this doesn't
translate into some advantage for the many different characters that this
game allows one to create. At least the looks of the levels added some
variety.

The game seemed to run very smoothly and easy to play without
a lot of confusing ways to fight the many bad people in this game.

The game only crashed once. I tried to cast an area spell (lightining)
and the game locked up. I had to fight 5 bad guys individually and
take some hits to defeat that bunch of ruffians. This was probably
due to my computer, a 400MHZ machine that I keep to play the older
games. It has two hard drives, one with W98SE and the other with
DOS 6.2. (Dos games run better in Dos sometimes.)

Ancient Evil was a fun game...made a lot easier with the forum provided
by the Web site.

Happy Days,

Zapper

Hi -

I've been stuck on Level 15 for a bit now and need help getting out. I can't figure out the door south of the ladder that you entered the level with. It says it is operated elsewhere, but I've tried searching the walls, etc. I have already gotten the demon statuette.


Thanks!

There should be a secret door in the wall of the hallway. go to the door that you cant get open, face it and go to the wall to the right. than head a few steps back and search the wall for the door. It wont be much farther than 6 or 7 steps away from the door.

Allright... I'm sitting in the front of the door in the 25th level, with the DemonCrusher and 4 statues. I think I've missed one at the minotaur labirynt...
I know they guard two statues, but I found only the one in the room with a stair up. Someone can tell me where is the other one? Please?
And, oh yeah, who's with me in lvl 25?
