I tried first at downloading this game, from the link that was put here.... the one that lead to the underdogs. At first they refused to let me download this game in 110 mb version.... then i clicked back on this site, found a direkt link from this site to the underdogs, found lands of lore once again..... and then i could download it esaily..... just that i would let you all know.

Now back to the game: i stepped into the swamp, and i have now gotten some bronze-horse-shue..... i cant use it on my charaters and cant equip it. I can only get 5 or 10 crowns for it.,....,.,.,
Do any of you know a better use of it???
Can i give it to the guy who drives Dawn in the wagon???
Or is there another hidden purpose of the bronze-horse-shue that i do not know about??


That is the same thing when you i think it is in the white tower, you find a granit-rock.... does that have any other use, than being sold for 5 crowns????
Secondly (i must warn you, this is the most irrelevant thing in this thread, i think): have you noticed that there are 3 different kind of rocks in this game?? Yes, there is rock, granite, and then there is a smothe-rock.... (4 kind of rocks, if you count coal)...... just to let you know..

No, the coal doesn't count. Other rocks can be throwed when picked up to hurt enemies slightly, and also can be equipped as weapons in hands I think, but the damage is very low. The different kinds of rocks do different damage, other than that there shouldn't be anything more behind them.

ok, thanks.
But what do you think of the Bronze horse-shue????
Is that just something you sell for 5 crowns, or does it have a reel use??

[Scatty]

I never found another use for it than throwing it at enemies for weak damage.

ive played this a bit .... now i am at Yvel City 90210.

You allpropably now this: but there is one door in Yvel, which is shut, but you can pry open, by clicking at it.
Ive got a screenshot of it:

the secret door is just in front of the 3 person, and also at the cursor.

You all propably have known of this place. But just to let you all know,,,, they arent that much stuff in there. Only the spell, Hand of Fate think.
And when we now are talking about spells:
Where is it excactly you get the spell "Mist of doom"????
Because i can remember.

Another great thing i found around Yvel, was a Black Great Orc!!!!
Look at my screen-shot:

and soon after another black great orc showed up!!!
Pretty cool

I love this game

Well that's interesting. I never use D-Fend, I just use the traditional DOSBox. Do you mean that in D-Fend, the program will be intelligent enough to raise or reduce cycles according to the game being played? I mean, if I want to play games like Lands of Lore and Anvil of Dawn, I will set the cycles to 8000. But when I played Ancient Land of Ys, the cycles needed to be reduced as low as 250, 'cause otherwise the game will be much too fast. With Albion, however, no amount of raising/reducing cycles really worked for me, it is unbearably slow. So, can D-Fend adjust that automatically?
[/b]

No. Cycles cannot be automatically changed by D-Fend.It wouldn't know what speed you would be happy with! You still have to use Ctl-F12 to raise cycles etc. This is what I mean by setting te game up first time. Once you have started the game the first time and raised/lowered the cycles to what your happy with you would put that information into the game profile in D-Fend. D-Fend can auto cycle up and down by 500 (there's an option to tick in the profile) The main point is that once this information is put into D-Fend, that's it. In your Ancient Land of Y's you have to adjust the cycles everytime you play the game. You also have to mount the drive, and if it needs the CD you have to mount the CD as well. In D-Fend, you do all this just once. And once you put the cycles required into the profile, that's it.

All I can say is get D-Fend, read the readme.txt, or just try it. I am currently playing about 5 Abandonia games. I would hate to go back to opening DosBox, mounting the drives, going to the correct folder and starting the exe, then increasing/decreasing cycles, etc. In fact D-Fend is why I am happy playing 5 games at once. For me it's just a double click on the profile title in D-Fend to start the game. Hardly any more than any modern game shortcut on your desktop! And I haven't even mentioned the fact you have room for comments on the game, you can classify it in a genre, then list by genre, you have many settings you can play around with to get a stubbvorn game working, but it only involves ticking boxes, not entering all those esoteric commands in DosBox! There's many more options too that even I only skim the surface of. It really is an excellent DosBox front end. I personally think the two products should merge. I will close by saying that once you have used D-Fend for a little while you will never see how you managed with just DosBox!

I think you can tell I am a fan of D-Fend! And it's free!

About Mist of Doom: you'll find it in the Catwalk Caverns. As long as you explore everything, I'm sure you'll come across it. (It's kind of funny that, even though I knew the Hand of Fate spell existed, it took me years to find out where it was, and that you discover it even before Mist of Doom...)

About the horseshoes: in all my years of playing this game, I've never found any use for these items. My guess is that they are references to the game "Kyrandia 2: Hand of Fate". There are more references to that game, like the Pseudobushia Hugiflora in the Northland Forest and the Westwood Stick (there was a stick that comes back to you many times in HoF).

About the rocks: the smooth and granite rock do a little more damage when you throw them, but nothing special.

But then again, every time I thought I knew just about everything about this game, it manages to make another surprise. Who knows...

Oops, that would be my post. Sorry...

Thanks for the info. I usually do not play more than one game at a time, and after I finish a game I usually just burn the game along with saved game files into CDs then remove the folder from harddisk, so I may not get much use of D-Fend profile, but thanks anyway for the info k:

If I remember right I think that you have to give the horse shoe to some guy ih a wagon, and he'll give you something for it.. but again I'm not entirely sure which or where he is.. but for some reason I think that is what it is for
