I have recently d/l this game and think it's pretty darned good.*
Could you uber-wizards help me past the first level?* I've found all the rooms (I think) pulled both levers, killed all the critters, put their bones on the triangle shaped sigils on the floor in case of pressure plates, on top of the starburst patterns as well, door to level 2 still no go.* *sigh** 4 hours on level 1 is a bit tedious, hence my groveling to your feet.* Please remember way way back to when you were on level 1 and have mercy on me* * !! Please!!* email me if anyone knows

:tnx:

DITTO!
Maybe a glitch or something but nowhere to go...

Is it a puzzle or what? :crazy:


Thanks HPD [/b][/quote]
The way to level two is to activate both levers and that's it. Manuver carefully to the stairway to level two. (use the arrow keys - not the mouse)

I need runes too. I am at 13 and have about half of them. One thing I learned is to play as a spellcaster. You seem to start out with more runestones.

In first level there is a column with a lever, use it and you open the door.

I've problem in level 22. Were's the entry for the lady? there are 2 closed door and 4 columns whit 4 levers, how operate this levers?

thank's a lot
bye

In case anyone else gets stuck in the first level, I've written a walkthrough for the first level, step by step:

in regard to the directions I'm using: I'll refer to the top left corner of the screen as north, etc.

IMPORTANT: Ancient Evil will hang up if you switch windows (alt+tab) during the game, so either print these instructions or write them down... This seems to be always the case, regardless of which software you're using.

1) Arm yourself with the sword you're carrying
2) East: there's a door, pass through it -> pickup rune stone, gold, RED KEY
3) Door further south, pass through it -> kill boogers, take the loot from them (always move the mouse cursor over their remains to be sure you've seen everything; sometimes you won't see it on the screen until you move the mouse cursor over it, causing the cursor to change to a hand holding something)
East: there's a lever (you'll see it as a column with a handle). move mouse cursor over it until it changes to that hand holding something. then left-click, which will switch the handle. you'll be notified that "a door has opened"
Further east: there's a door, pass through it; pickup bandages, food, gold; pickup and equip yourself with the shield
West-Southwest: here's the door that opened, pass through it -> elixar of healing, and another switch similar to the previous one.
West (in the same wall as the last door): another door; use the red key to open it -> boogers to kill -> rune stone
4) South: another door; pass through it -> boogers. There will be 2 rune stones (at least as far as I know there isn't a randomizer at work, so the gains should be the same each game) to be found among their remains once you've killed them.
Southeast corner: a door, leading to an empty room: nothing to be found, not even a secret door.
East: a short corridor leading to a door; kill the boogers there, then you'll find gold and bandages
South: a door that's already open; pass through it (use the keyboard arrows if it's too hard getting through using the mouse). you'll see a ladder. move the mouse cursor over it until the cursor changes -> left-clicking will bring you to level 2.

Good luck!

Thank you for the info you sent me regarding the above game. I need a bit more help. My finding are here :

Hi



I only found a room with 2 poles at the top near the level 12.



The directions were as follows:





Level 10- Ladder down at the top to Level 11



Level 11 – At the top the ladder up and across the down ladder to level 12



Level 12 – A room at the top with 1 pole with a switch and a secret door leading to a second pole with a switch.



Is this the right combination? I cannot find the third pole. Can you please tell me where is the room with all the 3 poles on which level and whereabouts. Your help would be greatly appreciated as I had put this game on hold for the last 2 years.



PLEASE CAN YOU HELP IN ANYWAY FROM THE ABOVE INFORMATION OR WHERE I HAVE GONE WRONG. HELP IN ANYWAY WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.


MY GRATEFUL THANKS TO BUDA IN HELPING ME FINISHING THIS GAME WHICH I HAD BEEN TRYING TO COMPLETE FOR LAST 2 YEARS. BUDA, PLEASE ACCEPT MY GRATEFUL THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP.

Okay, level 15...How to get out? There is a door at the very south of the center portion of the map. I am almost sure it opens with a pressure plate ("door opens elsewhare") and I think I have traveled every inch of the map and dropped items on every plate. Used all the teleports too - no plate. Where is the stupid thing?

TIP: if you can get the 'revitalize' spell, you no longer need to carry any food, potions or bandages around. The trick is finding the runes to cast it. This game is very stingy when it comes to finding runes! I can't seem to locate any hacks that will let you cheat and add items, although there is a good one that lets you do a lot of other things.
