I don't think I've got one in my inventory (and I've got a lot of saved games) but I seem to remember a rope that had the capability to slash...

Flame Whip? I don't recall ever seeing one of those...

I think Dain is easy. Cast Freeze Life a couple of times, whack a few buttons, grab a chest and leg it. Of course, that's if you come off the Junction of the Ways at the correct destination, otherwise you'll have legions of Rives and Water Elementals to fight before you even get close. Oh, and you n...

Don't forget that you can bash the door to the poison room open; makes for an easier escape.

Who is in your party? Certain characters can help you if you are in Moria.

Gor was deprecated during design, which makes sense from a programming standpoint — lots of games have features that are never used — but then why wasn't it used in any of the sequels? Why leave it in and not use it?

It was used in the versions of CSB with the magic map.

but have to use magic to do it

Did you pick up the Vorpal Blades on level 6 (riddle room level)? They come in very handy on this level...

When will this be out then?

Have you tried upping the memory? There is a tab under hardware then RAM. I can understand you not using the PC version, it's not always the most stable version but rather than emulation you might want to try CSBWin, it has the Atari ST versions of DM and CSB available and runs perfectly. Go to http...

This has been done before, hasn't it?

Can you let me know what a good balanced party would be I am not sure if many people will agree but I think: 1. Leif - good, strong fighter who later becomes a great spellcaster. When reincarnated, he can certainly become a great all-round character. 2. Halk - again, he is a good fighter and I've h...

It can go a lot further than that. The generator is just less than half the maximum strength.

Well, my turn I guess. I am Ian, I am 22 and from Lancashire, UK. I got into DM on the Atari ST in the 1980s. I remember swapping saved games and character portraits with friends at school and I also remember being the first one to finish CSB. I got an editor on disk some time in the early 1990s and...

If you take the activated Firestaff back to the doors, nothing will happen, it needs to be the one you get on level 7; the level with the Stone Golems. Also, there is a secret mechanism that prevents you from taking the activated staff up any further than the Chaos level, it can be avoided though.

You actually fought off the knights Ian, Very impressive. I was getting wiped out in seconds.

Quite easy with an EE Master Fighter and Sonja's axe. There is a really easy way to avoid them altogether. You would probably need the likes of Tiggy or Gothmog in your party though...

Ohhh, so that's why the knights ended up down that pit! I thought "hang on, I've just proven my innocence and now I am being attacked!". Good thing I had a well-trained Leif and Halk on my team

I remember fighting hundreds of them but they didn't seem to appear every time I entered the Moria. Maybe I was carrying a dodgy item that kicked it all off, or I stole an item from somewhere.

I am assuming you left the key int he door to keep it open. I've completed the game with one character before (I usually change Torham's stat's to match Leif or someone from DM) and I have done that part fine. I have never had any trouble moving the torch or the reflectors. There is a program that y...

It opens an alternate and less intense (but less obvious) route to the Ful Ya pit. Have a look at it in CSBuild.

I've never tried it with a reincarnated Tiggy; I've always used a stronger character such as Leif or Halk (they also become great wizards after training). I once tried it with Boris but gave up because he kept getting killed too easily and running out of food.

I agree, Dragon fireballs seem to be very weak. It might have something to do with the multipliers. I am working on a dungeon and in it, I have a Demon and a Dragon that have brought a test party with 999 health each down to near-death. They even do 200+ damage when I have cast Firesheild a couple ...

I've learned quite a lot of stuff about CSBuild (i.e. and/or gates) by looking at the original CSB and DM dungeons. That's probably the best way to go about it. Are you placing the text on the square directly in front of the mirror? Also, there is no need to touch any of the advanced options unless ...

some heroes have a portrait with their face totally brown !

That happened to me too. I found that putting a scorpion on the level seems to fix it...

Simply putting a champion's portrait in a mirror is not enough. You need to create a floor text right in front of it, you will see the option to edit the champions stats when you edit the text, make it invisible. as for your items appearing with different names, you might be using the DM graphics.da...

I am assuming that you have dropped into the Council Chamber from above... if so they are fairly easy to kill, there are quite a lot of them though.

I already tried the obvious solution a wizard would try but it doesn't seem to work...

There is another way in if you step into a teleporter then press a button. I think it is quite near if you go up the stairs after getting the KU Corbum. If I remember correctly, it isn't a million miles away from some Boots of Speed...

I can't imagine how many more things that were blantently obvious that I missed simply because I wasn't paying attention. I wouldn't be surprised to find that there are whole major sections of the dungeon I haven't even found yet. heheh Fiery Cerberus is a bugger for that! And it's ok. I've got max...

When will version K be available?
