Foreword Having cheated Death during the Night of Shooting Stars, you find yourself as far from your village of Sweet Water, as old Fallagar's magic could take you... Three years have passed, while Fallagar imparted what knowledge he could, to train you in your chosen professions. But the time came at last, when he could teach you no more, and you have ventured into the world to seeks your fame and fortune. Now, a world away from your lost home, you have stumbled across evidence for a terrible conspiracy, involving a new religious cult. Five letters from King Roland to his wife Catherine and a letter from King of the Devils to a wicked traitor named Sulman have turned up in an abandoned goblin camp. Your faith seems inextricably bound to these letters and that awful Night and your role in the events to come may be larger than anyone could imagine! The tools you have is but a small sum of gold, your wits and a lot of potential. The roads ahead are infinite and all the choices are yours to make - so choose wisely! Good luck! Might and Magic VI is not a game to be played once and then thrown away. You'll need a lot of patience, wits, logic thinking, to solve all the secrets. This game is a pure RPG with some sci-fi in it - I'm speaking about the hi-tech buildings (the Hive and The Control Center) and the Blasters. But don't think that this makes the game worse! 1. Forming the Party To form a party, you'll need to choose four of the six classes available in this game. These classes are: Knight - The Knight is the only character in the game, which can't cast spells and possess no magical abilities. But that's not that bad - it allows him to advance in other areas of skill - like in Disarm Trap (you won't do well without this skill!), Perception (you'll need this skill no matter what you think of it!), etc. He is extremely skilled in combat, great addition to every type of party. Just give him two weapons (preferably Sword and Spear), good armor and a bow, and he'll become the ultimate fighting machine in Might and Magic VI! His first promotion is to Cavalier, and later on, he becomes a Champion. When starting the game, give him more points on Might, Endurance, Accuracy and Speed. I propose to give him the next values: Might: 20, Intellect: 5, Personality: 5, Endurance: 20, Accuracy: 13, Speed: 13. Choose Bow and Shield or Bow and Disarm Trap as additional two skills. *** Knight The Knight class is the workhorse fighting class. Knights start with the largest selection of weapons and armor, and may ultimately use any type of weapon or armor. Being the toughest warriors of the classes, Knights begin with the greatest number of hit points and get the most number of hit points when they advance in level. Knights can be promoted to Cavalier status with a two hit point per level gain, and then to Champion status with another two hit point per level gain. Knights may never learn spells, nor may they ever learn (or need) the Meditation skill. Cavalier The Cavalier class is the first promotion of the Knight. Cavaliers may use any type of weapon or armor, but they may not learn spells. Cavaliers enjoy the benefit of an extra two hit points per level, and can be promoted once more to Champion status with another two hit point per level gain. Champion The Champion class is the second and last promotion of the Knight. Champions may use any type of weapon or armor, but they may not learn spells. Champions enjoy the benefit of an extra four hit points per level. -By Degenerate4Life- Paladin - The Paladin is much like the Knight, but he has certain spell power. He is able to learn the Magic of Spirit, Mind, and Body and thus to act as a backup healer. The Paladin is able to learn all weapon skills and I believe some would use him than the Knight. You should concentrate on fighting and healing abilities and leave someone else do the dirty work. He is supposed to be the backup healer and a good fighter, right? However, the drawback of the Paladin is that he has less Hit Points than the Knight, and not that much spell points - this means that he won't be able to cast a lot of spells. His first promotion is to Crusader and the second promotion is to Hero. When starting the game, you should give him more points on Might, Endurance, Speed and Accuracy. If you want add a point or two on Personality to raise his SP, but they are not that much when beginning the game. So, that's what I'll give to my Paladin: Might: 20, Intellect: 5, Personality: 12, Endurance: 15, Accuracy: 13, Speed: 13, Luck: 9. For the next two skills, I always choose Chain and Shield, and buy the bow skill as soon as I can. *** Paladin A cross between Knight and Cleric, Paladins perform both roles well, but not as well as the more focused classes they borrow from. Like Knights, Paladins can learn to use any type of weapon or armor, although they don't have as many choices to begin with. Paladins also begin with the Spirit realm of magic, and can also learn to use the Clerical Mind and Body realms. They cannot, however, learn to use the greater realms of Light and Dark, nor any of the Elemental realms. Paladins that are true to their cause may be promoted to Crusader (gaining one hit point and spell point per level) and ultimately to Hero (gaining another hit point and spell point per level). Paladins may learn all of the secondary skills. Crusader Crusader is the first Paladin promotion. Crusaders can learn to use any type of weapon or armor, and they can learn the Clerical magics of Spirit, Mind, and Body. Crusaders enjoy the benefit of an extra hit point and spell point per level, and can be promoted to Heroes, gaining an additional hit point and spell point per level. Hero Hero is the second and last Paladin promotion. Heroes can learn to use any type of weapon or armor, and they can learn the Clerical magics of Spirit, Mind, and Body. Heroes enjoy the benefit of an extra two hit points and spell points per level. -By Degenerate4Life- Cleric - This is one of the most important characters in the game. Large amounts of spell points and hit points for the spell caster classes, he can master all the Clerical spells and the powerful spells - Light and Dark. However, he is a little underpowered, and should have good armor (chain mail) and a good shield. Don't worry about his fighting skills - he'll become a good fighter after you give him a blaster. His first promotion is to Priest, and later, he becomes a High Priest. The stats he should have at the beginning, assuming he won't be a fighter, but a spell caster: Might: 5, Intellect: 7, Personality: 20, Endurance: 14, Accuracy: 13, Speed: 12, Luck 7. The other two skills he should learn are the Mind and Spirit magic, because learning spells is expensive. You'll waste less money on other skills. *** Cleric Clerics in Enroth are adventuring, spell casting holy men. A Cleric is a mediocre fighter but an excellent spell caster, with spells concentrating on healing and defensive themes. Clerics and Sorcerers are the only two classes that can learn from the Mirrored Path of the Light and the Dark, and the awesome spells these realms of magic offer. They are, unfortunately, rather limited in their weapons, with mace, staff, and bow being their only choices. Armor is a little better with plate being the only kind forbidden them, and they have no restrictions on secondary skills. With much diligence and study, Clerics can be promoted to Priest (gaining one hit point and spell point per level) and eventually to High Priest (gaining a nother hit point and spell point). Priest Priest is the first Cleric Promotion. Priests can learn spells from the schools of Spirit, Mind, Body, Light, and Dark. They are, unfortunately, rather limited in their weapons, with mace, staff, and bow being their only choices. Armor is a little better with plate being the only kind forbidden them, and they have no restrictions on secondary skills. They enjoy the benefit of an extra hit point and spell point per level, and can be promoted to High Priest to gain another hit point and spell point per level. High Priest High Priest is the second and last Cleric Promotion. High Priests can learn spells from the schools of Spirit, Mind, Body, Light, and Dark. They are, unfortunately, rather limited in their weapons, with mace, staff, and bow being their only choices. Armor is a little better with plate being the only kind forbidden them, and they have no restrictions on secondary skills. High Priests enjoy the benefit of an extra two hit points and spell points per level. -By Degenerate4Life- Archer - The Archer is the Knight/Sorcerer. He is a good fight are can learn to cast spells. He is a good addition to every party, for he can shoot enemies from afar. Speaking about weapons, you should give him something two-handed, for he can't use a shield. This means either two swords, a Two-Handed Axe or a Spear-Halberd-Trident. As for the magic, he can attain masteries in all four elemental classes, but he is much like the Paladin - with much HP and less SP, so, he won't be able to cast powerful spells lots of times. He is first promoted to Battle Mage, and later on, to Warrior Mage. The stats that an Archer should have, assuming he'll be your fighter and marksman are: Might: 15, Intellect: 12, Personality: 5, Endurance: 15, Accuracy: 18, Speed: 14, Luck: 9. The other two skills that he should learn are: Axe/Spear and Fire Magic. *** Archer Like Paladins, the Archer is a hybrid of the Knight and Sorcerer classes. Archers may learn to use any type of weapon (specializing in the bow, of course) but they may never learn the shield or plate armor skills. They are compensated by beginning with the Air realm of magic and may eventually learn to use the rest of the Elemental realms. The greater realms of Light and Dark are, however, beyond their grasp. Archers can be promoted to Battle Mage (gaining one hit point and one spell point per level) and eventually may become Warrior Mages (gaining another hit point and spell point per level). All of the secondary skills are open to the Archer. Battle Mage Battle Mage is the first Archer promotion. Battle Mages may learn to use any type of weapon, but they may never learn the shield or plate armor skills. They may also learn the four elemental schools of magic of the Sorcerer. Battle Mages enjoy the benefit of an extra hit point and spell point per level, and may be promoted to Warrior Mage, gaining another hit point and spell point per level. Warrior Mage Warrior Mage is the second and last Archer promotion. Warrior Mages may learn to use any type of weapon, but they may never learn the shield or plate armor skills. They may also learn the four elemental schools of magic of the Sorcerer. Warrior Mages enjoy the benefit of an extra two hit points and spell points per level. -By Degenerate4Life- Druid - the Druids are protectors of the forest and every living thing. They are able to learn all elemental and Clerical classes of spells, but are unable to reach the powerful Light and Dark magic. They are better fighters than the Sorcerers and are allowed to carry a shield and a mace. If you are intended to use a Druid, concentrate on his magical abilities and spend all his points there. After you have achieved mastery in all realms of magic, go for the expert mace and master Leather armor. After that, save points for the blaster skill. He is first promoted to Greater Druid, and after that, to Arch Druid. The Druids' spell points depend on both intellect and personality, so you should increase these stats most of all. I propose the next stat points distribution: Might: 5, Intellect: 20, Personality: 20, Endurance: 14, Accuracy: 5, Speed: 14, Luck: 9. You should also learn Body and Water magic as two additional skills. *** Druid Druids are a hybrid of the Sorcerer and Cleric classes. They make poor fighters (better only than the lowly Sorcerer) and have relatively few hit points. On the plus side, Druids can use both Sorcerer and Clerical magic. Druids may not learn Light and Dark magic, and they can only use the staff, dagger, and bow as weapons while wearing only leather and shield as armor. All secondary skills are open to the Druid, and as an added bonus Druids may begin the game with the Learning skill. Druids can be promoted to Great Druid (gaining one hit point and one spell point per level) and eventually to Arch Druid (gaining another spell point and hit point per level). Great Druid Great Druids are the first Druid promotion. They have access to both the Sorcerer's four elemental magics, and the Cleric's schools of Spirit, Mind, and Body magic. They may not, however, learn to use Light or Dark magic, and they can only use the staff, dagger, and bow as weapons. Great Druids are also restricted to leather and shield as armor. Great Druids enjoy the benefit of an extra hit point and spell point per level, and may be promoted to Arch Druid, gaining another hit point and spell point per level. Arch Druid Arch Druids are the second and last Druid promotion. They have access to both the Sorcerer's four elemental magics, and the Cleric's schools of Spirit, Mind, and Body magic. They may not, however, learn to use Light or Dark magic, and they can only use the staff, dagger, and bow as weapons. Arch Druids are also restricted to leather and shield as armor. Arch Druids enjoy the benefit of an extra two hit points and spell points per level. -By Degenerate4Life- Sorcerer - This character class is necessary, no matter what happens! He is the weakest in body, but the strongest in mind... And can cast the most devastating spells without getting low on spell points too quickly. Give him a dagger in both hands, make him master in leather and then spend all the rest of your skill points on Meditation and the spell skills. The problem is the lowest amount if hit points... He will often go unconscious, maybe even die! Look after him very, very carefully. At the beginning, he should have the following stats: Might: 5, Intellect: 25, Personality: 7, Endurance: 17, Accuracy: 5, Speed: 16, Luck: 9.He should also learn Air and Water Magic. *** Sorcerer Students of the realm of Elemental magic, Sorcerers concentrate on offensive and utilitarian magic. Sorcerers are downright rotten fighters barely able to learn to use the dagger, the staff, and the bow effectively. They are forbidden any kind of armor or shield and have the lowest hit points of all the classes. With that aside, Sorcerers can wield mighty offensive spells and have access to the Mirrored Path of the Light and the Dark, from which come the best spells in the lands. After plenty of spell casting experience, Sorcerers can be promoted to Wizard (gaining one hit point and one spell point per level) and then to Arch Mage (gaining another hit point and spell point). No secondary skills are forbidden Sorcerers. Wizard Wizards are the first Sorcerer promotion. They are downright rotten fighters, barely able to learn to use the dagger, staff, and bow effectively. They cannot use armor better than leather or a shield and have the lowest hit points of all the classes. With that aside, Wizards have access to the elemental spells and Light and Dark magic. Wizards enjoy the benefit of an extra hit point and extra spell point per level, and they can be promoted to Arch Mage, gaining another hit point and spell point per level. Arch Mage Arch Mages are the second and last Sorcerer promotion. They are downright rotten fighters, barely able to learn to use the dagger, staff, and bow effectively. They cannot use armor better than leather or a shield and have the lowest hit points of all the classes. With that aside, Arch Mages have access to the elemental spells and Light and Dark magic. Arch Mages enjoy the benefit of an extra two hit points and spell points per level. -By Degenerate4Life- I believe this should be enough for a short info about all the characters and will help you to choose your starting party. On my opinion, groups like: Knight-Archer-Cleric-Sorcerer or Knight-Paladin-Cleric-Sorcerer and the best-balanced parties in Might and Magic VI. But... I personally, prefer parties with lots of magic in their blood: like Cleric-Sorcerer-Sorcerer-Sorcerer. It's extremely difficult till you make this group endure for awhile longer in the beginning... But as soon as you get to higher level, you'll see, that this group is unbeatable. Some tips: 1. Every member of your party should have skills for close combat and shooting, just as the required weapons or spells for that. Every character is able to use the following weapons in the game: Knight - ALL WEAPONS Paladin - ALL WEAPONS Archer - ALL WEAPONS Cleric - Mace, Staff, Dagger Druid - Mace, Staff, Dagger Sorcerer - Staff, Dagger 2. Every member of your party should attain expertise or mastery in their available armor skills. You should know, that certain classes can't learn to use some armor skills: Knight: ALL ARMOR Paladin: ALL ARMOR Archer: Leather Armor, Chain Mail Cleric: Leather Armor, Chain Mail, Shield Druid: Leather Armor, Shield Sorcerer: Leather armor 2. Character's statistics, factors, primary and secondary skills. 2.1. Primary statistics. The primary stats are the Might, the Personality, etc. The factors are the damage that your party member inflicts with a hand weapon or a bow, and also, his condition. We'll go through this now. Might - this stat represents the strength of your character. The higher that value is, the higher will be the amount of damage inflicted in combat. Intellect - represents the ability of your character to perceive the surrounding world. Sorcerer's, Archer's and Druid's spell points depend on this skill. Personality - this skill represents the willpower of your character and his personal charm. Cleric's, Druid's and Paladin's spell points depend on their personality. Endurance - this skill represents the physical might and toughness of your character. This skill reflects on the amount of hit points of your character. Accuracy - this is the skill that represents how accurate is your character with his weapon. Higher values of this skill will allow your character to hit more accurate and quickly in combat. Speed - represents the quickness of your character. This skill increases your character's armor class and reduces the recovery time after an attack. Luck - I don't think this stat needs description... Resistances - their work is to lower the amount of damage your character will receive after hit with certain spell. Be aware, that some points on a resistance won't make your character immune to this spell class (fire, air, etc.). 2.2. Factors. Hit points - this is a counter, which shows how much damage your character will endure, before going unconscious or dead. You can replenish your character's HP after 8 hours of uninterrupted rest or paying for healing in a temple. Spell points - another counter, which shows how much spells you character may cast. This counter may not go below zero. When your character gets low on spell points, he won't be able to cast certain spells, until his Spell points are replenished. This happens with 8 hours of uninterrupted rest or by paying in a temple for healing. Armor Class - this stat shows how difficult will it be for your opponent to hit your character with arrow or a hand weapon. The more there points are, the better is the chance to evade damage from an attack. Condition - shows the current condition of your character. The default condition is good, and all other conditions should be cured as soon as possible! They can affect greatly your character's ability to hit, endure and cast spells (for instance, if your character is insane and you sleep to heal, when he wakes up, he won't have any spell points, unless you have something to regenerate Mana over time). Quick Spell - this shows which spell your character has prepared to cast when needed. Just press "S" button to cast this ready spell. Age - shows how old your character is. It can be changed by magic and the older your character is, the weaker he'll become. Level - shows the development of your character. Every level advancement adds more Hit points and Spell points to his amounts. Experience - this is an indicator for your character's experience. When this indicator is green, you are able to train to the next level. If it's white, you may click on it - it will show you how much experience you need to advance to the next level. Attack Bonus - a complex factor of skills, stats, etc. that show your character's chance to hit the enemy with his wielded weapon. Attack damage - this field shows the damage your character will inflict with a successful hit. Shoot - a complex factor that shows the chance your character has to hit successfully his enemy with the equipped bow. Shoot damage - shows the damage inflicted with every successful attack. 2.3. Weapon skills. Sword - this skill covers all the weapons, longer than a dagger. Basic: Skill adds to attack bonus Expert: reduces recovery time Master: May use a sword in the left hand Staff - two-handed weapons, good enough for both attack and defense. Basic: Skill ads to attack bonus Expert: Skill adds to armor class Master: chance to stun equal to skill Dagger - this type of weapons can't inflict large amounts of damage, but are very fast and your character may be able to hit twice in one round. Basic: skill adds to attack bonus Expert: allowed to use dagger in left hand Master: chance to inflict triple damage equal to skill Axe - often all axes are slow, but do inflict lots of damage. Basic: skill adds to attack bonus Expert: skill reduces recovery time Master: skill adds to damage Spear - this skill covers all weapons of the spear type, like spear, halberd and trident. They can be wielded in one or both hands, but work better two-handed. Basic: skill adds to attack bonus Expert: skill adds to armor class Master: skill adds to damage Bow - this skill covers all shooting weapons, except blasters! Basic: skill added to shoot bonus Expert: skill reduces recovery time Master: bow fire two arrows each attack Mace - this skill covers all weapons from club to mace. Basic: skill adds to attack bonus Expert: skill adds to damage Master: chance to stun equal to skill Blaster - This is a weapon made before the Silence. Be sure. That it will deal death faster than any other weapon you've ever seen! Basic: skill adds to attack bonus Expert: double effect Master: Triple effect 2.4. Magic Skills. First, I should say that all spells' power depends on the level, which your character has attained - basic, expertise, and mastery. That's why I will only describe a brief outline of the spell classes. Fire - is a source of attack spells and spells, afflicting the speed of your characters. Air - mainly defensive and informative and includes all spells connected with the light. Water - both defensive and offensive, this spell class is concentrated on moving the objects. Earth - mainly defensive. The spells are used to strengthen your characters. Spirit - concentrates on the type of magic that includes life and death. You'll be able to raise dead bodies, and resurrect your party members. Mind - offensive and informative spell class. Body - includes the spells, connected with the healing and removing harmful effects on your characters. Light - is one of the most powerful magic types. Mainly defensive. Dark - is extremely offensive and includes the most devastating spells in all Enroth. 2.5. Armor. Leather Armor - the lightest suit of armor that your character may wield, but gives the least protection. The good thing is that leather Armor slows the least you character and thus reduces the recovery time. Basic: skill adds to armor class Expert: reduces recovery time Master: Recovery penalty eliminated Chain Mail - armor of average weight. They offer more defense and protection than the Leather Armor, but slows you character a lot. Basic: skill adds to armor class Expert: reduces recovery time Master: Recovery penalty eliminated Plate Mail Armor - offers great defense and protection, but really, really slows down your character. Basic: skill adds to armor class Expert: reduces recovery time Master: Recovery penalty eliminated Shield - this skill directly increases your armor class. Basic: skill adds to armor class Expert: skill adds to AC (double effect) Master: skill adds to AC (triple effect) 2.6. Miscellaneous skills. Identify Item - allows you gain some insights about certain items during the game. The higher this skill is, the better your character will identify items. Master is able to identify the strongest item - like artifacts and relics. Basic: More points increase the chance of identifying an item Expert: Double effect of skill Master: Triple effect of skill Merchant - helps in buying and selling stuff, making the prices better for you. Basic: makes prices in shops better for you and your party Expert: Double effect of skill Master: Triple effect of skill Repair Item - allows you characters to repair broken equipment if their skill is high enough. The better they are in repairing items, the better broken items (even artifacts or relics) they'll be able to repair. Basic: more skill points allows the repairing of better items Expert: Double effect of skill Master: Triple effect of skill Body Building - this skill adds directly Hit points to your character's HP totals. The points of skill multiply with the class bonus (4 for a knight, 1 for a Sorcerer) and the sum is added to the HP value. Basic: Skill adds to Hit points Expert: Double effect of skill Master: Triple effect of skill Meditation - skill adds directly Spell points to your character's SP totals - 4 for a Sorcerer, 0 for a Knight. Basic: skill adds to Spell points Expert: Double effect of skill Master: Triple effect of skill Perception - increases your character's chance to evade damage from blowing chests and noticing hidden traps and doors. THIS SKILL IS NECESSARY AT LEAST TO EXPERT LEVEL for one character. Basic: skill increases chance of finding hidden doors, treasure and evading damage from traps Expert: Double effect of skill Master: Triple effect of skill Diplomacy - helps to decrease the bad effect on your reputation while bribing, begging and threatening NPC's. Basic: Skill decreases chance of lowering the reputaion while begging, bribing and threatening NPC's. Expert: Double effect of skill Master: Triple effect of skill Disarm Trap - this skill helps opening a chest without taking damage if it is booby-trapped. Basic: Better chance of opening chests without taking damage Expert: Double effect of skill Master: Triple effect of skill 3. The Obelisk Puzzle. If you successfully read all obelisks, you'll be able to find the Captain's Treasure. Te obelisks are in 15 different areas in Enroth and have numbers from1 to 15: 1. Sweet Water (near the big lake) 2. Paradise Valley (after the Temple of Baa) 3. Hermit's Isle (near the oasis) 4. Kriegspire (NE corner of map) 5. Blackshire (in the sands) 6.

Each one of them has a specific task for you. These are the quests (and the lords): 1. Regent Wilbur Humphrey. You'll have to find Lord Kilburn's Shield. It is in a chest ear Blackshire town, protected by werewolves. Kill them and open the chest, get the shield (if you're lucky, you may even get an artifact there) and return it to the Regent.

Go to Ironfist and complain to Humphrey - he'll give you the Cloak of Baa (the topic is "Silvertongue's refusal". Now, go to Kriegspire and find the Superior Temple of Baa. You'll be allowed to pass, for you have the cloak. Be sure to have at least one character with Expert Perception and get inside. Clear the rooms and collect all the bodies. In two of the High Priest's bodies, can be found the High Cleric's Key and the High Sorcerer's Key. Use them to open the locked chest. Inside is the letter from Zenofex. Bring it to Slicker Silvertongue, and expose him as a traitor! He'll threaten you and disappear, making your reputation Saintly. 2. Lord Albert Newton. Find the room with a single Master Monk and a chest in it. In this room, there's a switch on the wall. Push it and a passage will open. In the passage, there are two chests. One of them is holding the key to Gharik's Laboratory. Take it and go to New Sorpigal. On one of the islands you'll find a building, named "Gharik's Forge". Be sure you're strong to enter it, because it's not an easy task! Clear the forge and go down the elevator. Open the door and you'll get into a room with lots of warlocks and sorcerers. Kill them and proceed to the next room. Go up and up, open the door and walk till you get to the Library. Inside the chest is the Hourglass of Time. Bring it back to Newton and his representative will vote for you! 3. Lord Osric Temper. You need to get the "Devil's Plans" scroll. It can be found in the Devil outpost in Kriegspire. The outpost is in the canyon between the volcano and the snowy lands. Inside is a "Devil of Baa". He'll drop the scroll you need. Take it and head back for Free Haven. 4. Lord Stone. He wants you to capture the Prince of Thieves. He's in the Free Haven Sewers. Take the quest from Stone and go to the Sewers. Take the right passage immediately and kill everything till you hit a room with a wardrobe and a bed. Click on the bed, and you'll capture this person. Return him to Stone to get some gold and gratitude. 5. Lady Loretta Fleise. She wants you to fix the stable prices in all 9 Coach Companies in: New Soprigal, Castle Ironfist, Free Haven (2), Silver Cove, Blackshire, White Cap, Kriegspire and Darkmoor. Click on "Price Fixing" in all these stables then return to Loretta for some gold. (Depends on your haste with this mission it's 5000 or 25 000, so work fast!) 6. Lord Stromgard. He wants you to put and end to the winter in White Cap. Go to Kriegspire, cast fly or hire a Wind Master and each the mountains. On the mountain, there's a tiny hut, where the Hermit, who caused the winter lives. Ask him to stop the winter and he'll do so. 6. The Oracle Missions. After you have done all of the six Lords' quests and exposed Silvertongue, you'll have the permission to enter the Oracle. He'll ask you to find his memory modules in order to wake him. They could be found in Alamos, Kriegspire, Supreme Temple of Baa (in Hermit's Isle) and Darkmoor. The crystal in Alamos is protected by a password. In order to get it, you must find the white marble bridge and jump down. Kill the Magyars under it and start searching the area after the tunnel. You should find and orange switch. Press it and try to find a large hall, full of Air Elementals and Warlocks. Now, kill everything there and enter the room with the elevator. You should hear a specific music, showing that the crystal is nearby. Cross the narrow passage over the cages and enter the room with the crystal. You'll be asked for a password. It's JBARD. Type it and go get the crystal! The crystal in Darkmoor is probably the most difficult to acquire. First, you should find a blind corridor, in which at it's end are three Liches, and a plate. Read the plate and a lever will appear. Press the lever and go search for the cube with orange walls, hanging from the ceiling. Push it and one of the walls will open! Proceed through the opened wall, and fight the eyes till you get to a staircase leading up. Climb on it and press the wall. A secret door will open. Walk forward till you find yourself above a large hall, full of Liches and Eyes. Kill them or run to the bottom of the hall. In a small niche is the crystal. Take it! The Crystal in Kriegspire is difficult to locate. Find the four large circles that are forming an "Arena". You should be on the second floor of this arena. Walk on the thin edges till you get to the very center of it. You should see a column and a light green switch on it. Press it and return to the orange door before the arena. It should now open. Walk into the corridor and you'll son have the Crystal on visual! In the Prison area, where the cages are, you will find a Letter from Roland (Ironfist). Take it. Take the crystal and get out of here. The Crystal in the Supreme temple of Baa is easy to locate. Just travel down and down, till you reach the lowest floor, just before the magma. You'll find a bridge and levers on all the entrances. Just press the switches till you get access to the room with the crystal! Take it and all is done. You have all four crystals, required to wake the oracle. You'll get 100 000 experience for each placed crystal, so go straight to Free Haven, get your reward and level up. After this is done. The Oracle will ask you to find the Control Cube, which allows you to go in the Control Center, where you may find blasters. Pretty good weapons! Now, it is the time to go to Dragonsand and enter the Temple of VARN - it's building, which looks like a pyramid. Clear the entrance area and enter the room that is full of Genies and a single Defender of VARN. Kill them and collect the bodies. You should find a key. New enter the large room. Go left and find the door in the left wall. Kill everything there and find the switch, which looks like a scarab. Press it and a chest will appear. Open it and take EVERYTHING that is inside. Take the Crystal skull and put in your inventory. Then, enter the inventory, pick the skull and close the window. You still hold the skull, right? Thus you'll never suffer radiation damage while in this pyramid. The drawback is that you won't be able to collect bodies, for the skull will go back to your inventory. I propose that you go on a money-collecting raid after you've killed everything here. Now, go to the large room once again and enter the red door. Kill everything here and jump through the opening in the floor. You'll reach a hexagon. Now, find the corridor with orange wall and clean it, until you find a room. Inside there's a chest. Open it and you'll find another scroll, another key and a few items. Return to the room with the pools and the Well of VARN. Go north and take the west (left) passage. Kill everything till you hit a door. Open it and proceed in the corridor. Kill the two genies and you'll reach the Back Door. You have the key for it, so open it and proceed right near the wall. Continue walking in this direction till you reach a path leading upwards. Climb on it and you'll reach the Water Temple. You have the key for it, so open the door. Now, go kill everything and find the chest. Inside it is another code, another key and a few items. Return through the corridor leading to the Back Door till you reach the place, where you've fought with the Guardians of VARN. There is a big entrance to the south, which leads to the library. Running or fighting - your choice, get to the library and open the chest. Get the new scroll and the new key. Then click on the two pictures near the chest. You'll find the last 2 scrolls. You need to go back to the room with the Well of VARN. Get all message scrolls and the key in one single character and jump into each pool. Write: - For Communication Officer - ARUHU - For Navigator - ULUS - For Engineer - YTTOCS - For First Mate - KCOPS - For Doctor - YOCCM After you're done, go to the Well of VARN, cast Feather Fall (or you should stick to the walls!) and write the Captain's Code (KRIK). Fall down and kill all the units. Inside the chest are the Control Cube and some items. Return the Cube to the Oracle. Now, you'll be able to get in the Control Center. Just go to the first room to the left and read the plate. You'll get the Blaster skill! In the Control Center, you will find 8 Blasters and 4 Blaster Rifles. Be sure you've found all four Rifles before you get out! They are much more powerful and efficient than the little blasters. Unfortunately, you can't use two blasters at a time :-)) Pity... You'll need the blasters to destroy the reactor in the Hive, located in the village of Sweet Water. But first, you should go to Castle Ironfist and talk to prince Nicolay. He'll ask you to find the Third Eye, a gem, which is required to open the Archibald's vault, where the Tanir's Bell is. The Gem is in the well near the castle. Click on the well and you get it. Now, return to the castle and trade the gem for the Tanir's bell. Go to the library above the Castle and free Archibald. He'll thank you and gives you "The Ritual of the Void" (the scroll, required to evade reactor's explosion, which will consume the Earth), and will disappear. Now, you are free to go to the Hive and finish the game. 7. Artifacts and Relics in the game Finding artifacts or relics isn't easy. The places, where you may find lots of these wonderful items are Paradise Valley, Hermit's Isle and Dragonsand. Some exceptions are: Excalibur (the artifact sword in Eel-Infested Waters - requires 200+ Might to get it), Mordred (the Artifact Dagger in the Dragoon's Keep in Free Haven) and artifacts, which are found in the chest after solving the obelisk quest: Igraine, Morgan and Guinevere. So: 1. Zeus Type: Relic Item: Plate Armor AC: 64 Special powers: +50 to Hit points, Spell points and Luck, -50 Intellect 2. Apollo Type: Relic Item: Chain Mail AC: 46 Special powers: +20 to Luck, Resistances and -30 Endurance 3.

Item: Mace Special powers: +30 Fire damage, +25 Fire resistance Attack: +14 Damage: 4d2 +14 NOTE: The reason I put a question mark here was this: artifacts only give to stats and never take anything. Relics give a lot and take a lot. Since Ares only increases you damage and Fire Resistance, it should be considered as an ARTIFACT, not a RELIC). 9. Athena Type: Relic Item: Amulet Special powers: +100 Intellect, -40 Might 10. Hera Type: Relic Item: Amulet Special powers: +50 to Hit points, Spell points, luck and -50 Personality 11.

Arthur Type: Artifact Item: Crown Special powers: +25 Spell points, of the Gods (+10 to all stats) These are all the Artifacts and Relics in the game. Just to be sure, I used Might and Magic VI Character editor to see if there are any more. No, there weren't any new artifacts or relics, so I assume that these are all available in the game. 8. The simple weapons, armor and magical items in the game 8.1. Swords - this is the most common fighting weapon throughout Enroth. Good enough for both Attack and Defense, they are preferred from all Knights and Paladins. 1. Long Sword Type: Longsword Attack: +0 Damage: 3d3 +0 Value: 50 2.

But first of all, You'll have to find a small key that opens his cell. Do it and he'll give you the required item. Then go to Ironfist area and find "Snergle's Caverns" through the teleporter. Enter it and try to collect all the gold and gems that are found in the caves. After you reach the door, be warned! When you unlock it, you'll get surrounded by dwarves and may die if you can't escape into the large room or with a portal or beacon. In any way, start killing the dwarfs and collecting their bodies. In one of the bodies (that of Snergle), you'll find a fine axe. Bring it to Anviril Smithers and he'll start teaching you to Master Axe skill. 3. Saved the Mayor of Mist.

Kill them and open the SECOND chest. Inside it is the harp. Return it to get some gold and experience. 6. Retrieved Ethric's Skull. Go to the Temple area in Free Haven and search about the houses. You'll find an alchemist, who wants you to find the skull of the First Lich, Ethric the Mad. Travel to the south till you hit the river. Now, go east till you hit the mountain. Here's the entrance to the "Tomb of Ethric the Mad". The tomb itself is now hard to complete, assuming you can fight the liches. Just press all switches you come upon till you find the room with liches. There are a few such rooms and Ethric is in one of them. Be sure to collect all bodies - you'll find "... an item (Skull)". Return it to the Alchemist and he'll give you 7500 gold and surely you'll gain a few levels. WARNING! While searching the niches, you can catch a disease!!! 7. Killed the Spider Queen. Please read the information about "Rescued Angela" and "Retrieved Baa Candelabra" missions first. After you have saved the girl, continue venturing into the Abandoned Temple. You'll reach two small rooms, full of snakes and with a chest and six snake eggs lying on the ground. Kill the enemies and collect the Eggs and the items in the chest. Now, continue walking forward until you hit the large room with the spiders. Now, don't go into it, just wait in the entrance. The spiders will come alone, I assure you! Kill them and in one of the bodies you'll find the Spider Queen's heart. Now, go to the end of the room and open the wooden door. You'll find a chest with some GOOD items inside! (The last time I found a Stellar Bow and a Cardinal Cloak) 8. Saved the Monolith You must get this quest from Silver Cove and find "The Monolith" building in the same area. Inside it are quite big bunch of Druids and Earth Elementals, who may prove to be tough opponents if your party isn't that strong yet. However, be sure to click on all rocks, trees, stones, etc. They will either give you money or open passages, doors, etc. You'll find lots of gold inside! When you reach the Altar room and deface the Monolith, all Clerics and Druids in your party will gain +5 Personality permanent. You'll also get 3000 gold for completing this mission! 9. Destroyed the Wicked Crystal. Go to Bootleg bay and take the mission from the house in the temple. Now, travel to the "Temple of the Fist" - it is to the west of the main town, when you're facing the temple. This mission is no that hard to complete and the only problem may be the locked door of the inner sanctum of the Temple, where is the crystal itself. To open it, find the white arrow behind the three barrels and push it. The wall will move, allowing you to push a newly discovered button. It will open the locked door for you. Kill everything in the inner sanctum and destroy the crystal by clicking on him. Now, return to the house for your reward. 10. Rescued Emmanuel. Go to Blackshire to take this mission. Emmanuel can be found in the Temple of the Snake in the same area in a little island - this means you'll have to either have "Water Walk" of "Fly" spell. Otherwise, you must take the damage from drowning... Nevertheless, you are now inside the building. Start killing everything there (well, you may have certain difficulties with the Gold Dragon inside!) and then jump in the pit under the dragon. Take a close look at the walls and you'll find a button. Push it and continue the fight with these medusas. It is advisable to have "Protection from magic" cast at all times, because the medusas tend to stone your characters! You'll soon get into a large hall, full of medusas. Kill them and you'll see two cages there. In one of them is Emmanuel. Return him to his wife and you'll get a little gold and a lot of gratitude! 11. Found Zoltan's Artifact. Now, this is a mission you're going to like! Go to Free Haven, and near behind the Training Grounds, you'll find the house of Zoltan Phelps the Merchant. He'll ask you to find a powerful artifact for him - Mordred. This long dagger is in the Dragoons Keep to the south (south end of map) from Free Haven. Enter this building and if you can endure the fight with lots of enemies there, start venturing into this dungeon! Its corridors aren't spacey, so if you have the "Sparks" spell, it should work perfectly. Be warned that the levers that open the locked doors are really far from the passages, so you may have to walk quite a bit till you get to the opened door. Proceed down the stairs and open the wooden doors using the levers in the wall. The pull all the levers and be sure to pull the lever in the bottom room last. The door will close - a trap! If you're low on HP, you have enough time to rest and heal. After the rest, you'll have 2 attacks of rats and one attack of fighters. Kill them all and return to the main corridor. Now, the keep door is open. Kill the Fighters there and open the chest. The artifact is inside. But now comes the fun! Return the artifact to Zoltan Phelps and he'll tell you that he was expecting something much grander than this "knife". So, he'll refuse to take it and pay you 30 000 gold for finding it! Isn't that wonderful? You get money and an artifact together! 12. Rescued Sherell. Go to Free Haven and in the port area lives a person, who'll give you this quest. Now, you need to travel to Bootleg Bay, to the northern island (you can get there from Mist) and enter the temple of Tsantsa. Usually, you'll have to clear the whole temple form enemies, for there are some levers to pull. I urge you to kill everything in there and then try to find the room with the big white lever. Push it and then go to the room of the female cannibals and pull the next lever. Now, find the room to the south of the hall with the colored doors (it has five bones in it, you can't miss it!), pull the next lever and you'll gain access to the hall. Kill everything there again and you'll soon find the prison area. Now, return to the rooms of the male cannibals and open the chests there, if you haven't yet. In one of them is the "Cell Key", which is required to open the prison door. Talk to Sherell and return her to Free Haven and get the reward. 13. Rescued Sharry. Go to the Town Hall in New Sorpigal to get this quest. Now, travel to the Shadow Guild Hideout in the Castle Ironfist area. Enter the area and you'll find yourself in a blind corridor. Open the door to the left and kill the enemies. Near the door on the wall you can find a lever. Push in and the wall that was blocking the corridor will disappear. Continue forward now till you find a door to the left. Open it and enter the next hall. Kill the Thugs and the Brigands and leave the room from the opposite door. You'll find yourself in another blind corridor. Enter the room to the left - it is something like storage. Between the barrels on the east wall of the room you'll find a new switch that will open the rest of the Shadow Guild hideout dungeon. Enter the room to the right, kill everything there and open the chest - it contains the key required to open the locked door in the beginning. Sharry is inside this room. Return her to the Town Hall in New Sorpigal for a nice reward. 14. Rescued Angela. You must travel to New Sorpigal to take this quest. After you're done, go to the Abandoned Temple near the town. Please read the instruction for the "Retrieved Baa Candelabra" quest. After you've taken the Candelabra, continue venturing deeper into the temple, till you reach a large room with Snakes, Bats and Spiders inside. This room has a passage leading to the right and downwards. Walk into it and in the new room you'll find the little girl. 15. Broke the Blackshire curse. This quest is taken from Blackshire. Go to the "Lair of the Wolf" near the town and fight till you get to the room with a Wolf Head in the middle and a white altar. Now, search carefully the passages to the left and to the right. In one of them is the Ghost of Balthazar - a soldier, who lost his life while fighting the Werewolves. He'll ask you to find the Pearl of Purity in the opposite corridor. Search carefully the opposite passage and you'll come upon the pearl. Now, use it to purify the altar. The Blackshire curse is broken! Talk to Balthazar again. He'll ask you to bring the pearl to Wilbur Humphrey, whom actually, it belongs and he'll a sk you to find the Pearl of Putrescence, the Black Pearl. Now you can return to Blackshire and tell the good lady that you've done the quest and bring the pearl to the Regent. 16. Killed the Werewolf leader. So, you want to complete the dungeon? OK then! After you've destroyed the altar, the wall in the wolf's jaws will disappear. Continue to the right and fight till you get to the teleport stairs. Now, start searching the area for a large room full with lots of Werewolves. One of them is the Werewolf Leader, who is holding the Pearl of Putrescence. Collect his body and return the Pearl to Balthazar. 17. Solved the Goblinwatch Combination. Go to New Sorpigal's Town Hall to take this quest. The lady will give you the "Key to Goblinwatch" - use it to enter the outpost. Now, you're inside! Open the door to your right. Continue moving along the corridor till you get in the room with the panels on the wall and goblins inside. Kill the enemies and push the red panels on the walls. Some of them will reveal chests. In one of them is the Goblinwatch combination scroll. 18. Returned with the Chime of Harmony. Go to the Town Hall in New Sorpigal to take this quest. It will appear after you've finished the "Solved Goblinwatch Combination" quest. Now, travel to the "Temple of Baa" in Castle Ironfist area. The temple looks empty... But it's not that! After you enter each room, you'll be attacked. In each room you'll find a key. The first key is in a statuette in a blind corridor with lots of curves. You'll find it easily! The problem may be the central area of the largest hall after the entrance. It has four doors and four plates. Click the doors using the following order - north, east, west, and south. But, if oriented using the map directions, it's - south, west, east, and north. The doors will open, but be warned - after you open the chest, you'll be ambushed by quite big bunch of Apprentices and Skeletons. After you've killed them and have found "The Hidden Door key" and "The Treasure Room Key", you may open the door with the fireball trap. Walk carefully, evading the fire blasts and continue up. You'll reach another big room. Kill everything there, but be warned! After you go behind the altar with the gong, the room will fill with skeletons! If you want, open the hidden door and escape in the corridors. Walk to the left and using the Treasure room key, open the hidden door above the large room with the skeletons. You'll enter a smaller room with a chest. Inside it is the Chime of Harmony. Return it to New Sorpigal to collect the 5000 gold reward. But there's another treasure room here, on the opposite end of the corridor. Walk to the right this time and carefully search the wall after you go past the curve. You should find hidden 5000 gold coins. Having found them, continue up and open the next hidden door (should be visible on the map already!) - you'll find yourself in the Treasure room. There's a lot of gold here! 19. Retrieved Emil's Egg. Go to Kriegspire town and take this mission. Now, enter Castle Kriegspire. Kill the Minotaurs that are guarding the entrance and walk left after entering the small corridor. You should find a wooden door. Open it and continue the search. In a fine-looking niche you'll find a chest. Inside it is the Emil's egg. Be careful! The egg itself is not mentioned as a "QUEST ITEM" in its description! 20. Placed Twillen's Statuettes. Go to Blackshire and find Twillen's house. He'll ask you to place the statuettes inside the chest, which can be found just outside his house on the pedestals in Sweet Water, Dragonsand, Mire of the Damned, Kriegspire and Bootleg Bay. Do it and return to Twillen. The reward is nice! 21. Aided the Lord of Fire Go to the "Hall of the Firelord" in Bootleg Bay area and enter the building. Talk to the colored head you'll see on your entering the dungeon and he'll ask you to unlock the warded doors. This happens when you have an amber piece with you and click on the door. The first door is ornamented and colored in yellow. The next door is somewhat buried in the ceiling and is gray. Click on the first, then on the second and you'll open the warded doors. Return to the Firelord for some experience bonus. (Using the bug, you can click over and over to get more experience added - click about 8-10 minutes to get you characters' experience to 16777126 - the maximum amount for now, allowing you go reach level 183.) 22. Delivered the 6th Letter to Wilbur Humphrey. This is the letter, which your first character is carrying in his backpack at the beginning of the game. First, go to New Sorpigal's tavern and show the letter to Andover Portbello. He'll give you 1000 gold. Now, you may go to castle Ironfist and show this letter to the Regent. He'll take it and give you 5000 more gold. 23. Allowed to use the Royal Yacht. After you're done with the six lords' quests, go to castle Ironfist and speak to Wilbur Humphrey. He'll tell you that now, you may use the Royal Yacht to travel to Hermit's Isle... Travel length - 21 days!? 24. Destroyed the Book of Liches. Please read carefully the description of finding the Memory Crystal in Darkmoor castle. After you've taken the Crystal, click on the plate under the cube. A message will appear "The Fires of Death shall burn forever" and the cube will change its color. Click on the cube and you'll find yourself in a room, in which on a small pedestal lies the Book of Liches. Destroy it and return to Terry Ross in the village beneath the Castle to get 5000 gold and some experience. (If you steal from the dead, though you may find really good items, you'll get you reputation lowered quite a bit!!!) 25. Super Goober. You don't have to get this quest from anywhere - it simply exists. Enter the Control Center and try to find the large room with lots of Units of each type (Patrol, Enforcer, Terminator) and destroy them. Walk near the wall to the right of the entrance and you'll reach a door. Open it and you'll find yourself in a room with a chest. Open it and read the scroll - it should be "Congratulations! I hereby promote you all Super Goobers!" 10. Town descriptions and teacher locations. 1. NEW SORPIGAL.

Hints, tips, secrets and advices. *** 1. The NWC dungeon (New World Computing Dungeon): Once in the shrine of the gods, on the eastern wall, click and you will be teleported to the NWC Dungeon. It is wise to cast Lloyds Beacon once you enter, because the dungeon is large and can be annoying when trying to get out in a hurry. Once you enter, it's pretty much straight forward of where to go to actually get to the excitement. It seems like a cave, but is filled with employees. None will talk to you about hints on the game or anything, which stinks, but whaddya expect? Throughout the dungeon there are two goblins. One, the weaker one, is John Van Caneghem. I think he's supposed to be a Goblin Shaman. The other goblin, Trip Hawkins, I think is stronger, but they aren't that hard. They both have between 20-60 health, and in the beginning it's not necessarily a walk in the park, but you should still survive. There are no traps and the only ways to die are use magic on yourself or die at the goblins, so you should have no trouble. It is wise to cast Expert level Wizard Eye if you have it, because there are many little treasures lying about. Really you can just explore. A lot of times you will open a door and be in what seems a "prison cell" with another employee, but my guess it is like a cubicle. Throughout the cavern there is about 2, maybe 3 thousand gold (great for beginners), a longbow, boots, light armor, rings, herbs, potion bottles, hats, the works. But the only reason I ever visit is because in one of the rooms, there is a huge cabinet next in a small room. There is a small white box next to the cabinet to help you tell which one it is. Remember to always click on the boxes as much as the possible. Anyway, if you click on the cabinet you can get unlimited food! Just keep on clicking, and you can get more! Sometimes you get "bad food", which poisons you, but if you keep using one guy, the poison will only affect that one man. Also it is helpful to have a cleric with the Cure Poison spell, but it doesn't matter if you don't. I got over 500 food after clicking for a minute or two, and it's been a year since then and I am only down to 450! Really helpful. So, just explore and collect, and you should be well off if you are just starting the game. I didn't visit until I was far in the game, so I was only helped by the food. Hope this helps! If you click on the blue chest multiple times, you'll get up to 10 000 gold. This can be used for another bug. Go to New Sorpigal and leave ALL your money in the bank. Now return to NWC and hit the chest again. It should give you another 10 000 gold. You can do so till you get tired of it. -By Griffon Rider- 2. The "Q". Yes, Q is surely that alien form who made the blind Jordi LaForge from Star Trek movies see clearly again... Q is really tough. He has 16 000 HP and casts "Finger of Death" all the time. There are several ways to beat him: - Wait for him to get stuck in some of the corners (thank God, they are many!) so he won't be able to kill you (his spells will be hitting the wall in front of you, and you'll take absolutely no damage) with his spell and start hitting him with your hand weapons. - Use the "Sparks" spell, from many of the sparks will hit him. Never remain visible for him, for soon some of your characters die by his spell "Finger of Death" - but if you win, you'll get the Horn of Ros and three books - Town Portal, Lloyd's Beacon and Stone to Flesh. 3. Secret beacon? On my game this thing works, so you should try it either. After you buy the Lloyd's beacon spell, click on one of the empty spaces in you book while "Recalling beacon", and you'll be teleported to Castle Alamos in the Eel-Infested waters. 4. Entering the Shrine of the Gods. There's a secret beacon on the roof of the Bucaneers' Lair in New Sorpigal. Face the Gild of the Self and then turn back. Now click on the roof before you. You should be teleported to the Shrine of the Gods. Run, run and run inside, click on it, take +20 to all stats for your characters and then enter the NWC Dungeon as described by Griffon Rider. After you're done, leave the place turn left and run forward. On the wall before you is a beacon back to New Sorpigal. If you're quick enough, you won't die, for the Dragons need some time to breathe fire. 5. The Experience bug. By aiding the lord of Fire, you may click multiple times on the "Quest" button and thus get some more experience added to your character's totals. If you click for about 8-10 minutes, you'll get to level 183 (16777216 exp), which means that you'll win the game really easy. I suggest you skip this bug. Playing on level 183 is not funny as playing on level 55. If you don't like the difficulties, train to 183. If you like challenges, don't use this thing. 12.
