How to leave prison with champions?...

Post by luke41 »

I didnt thought it CSB would be that hard!
I have choosen 4 champions, made a map of the Prison, by clicking on every wall found even the two hidden gangways - but no exit to any further level!!!
The two ways behind the fake walls just lead to a room with either rockpiles or mummies, but in both cases these rooms both lead only to the 2 extra Champions.

Is there any other fake wall or a hidden button to find a way to the dungeon?

I have found some hints about saving a game and using "Make new adventure", but that was for originalk Amiga or ST versions with floppy disks etc.
After choosing 4 Champions in the prision I save the game, then restart CSB, and then when I "RESUME" the game - I am still in the prison...

If you are using CSBWin then it works just like the Atari version.
You must create a new adventure from your game saved in
the prison. (it simply adds those chosen characters to the
main dungeon.)

If you are using RTC or DSB then you must wait for someone
else to help you.

I seem to recall with RTC that there's some kind of "import party" funtion somewhere but it's been several years so I can't remember. DSB I haven't used at all.

If you are using RTC, then save the game when you have chosen your champions.
Then restart RTC and click the scroll in the bottom right of the screen.
From there, click 'Make New Adventure' and select your party from the saved game.

I think that's the same as in the original (and thus, CSBWin) version of the game :).

+1 ( from the 1989 ).
The idea was mostly to import a strong party from Dungeon Master, the CSB manual recommended a party that had, at least, seen Lord Chaos.
I think the prison was an alternative, providing new champions with high stats right from the beginning.
You,ve certainly seen there are two hidden super prisoners, a dark ninja ( Kazai) and a white fighter ( Lor ). You cannot have both, once you've hired one, the other is not available.

Thank you all - it was my lack of ... whatever. It really goes as under the original Atari ST:
1. Creating a party in prison, saving game (A, B, C, D).
2. Quit CSB
3. Open CSB again, then press "UTILITY" - and choose the previously saved game. The progam converts a "Prison"-SAVEGAME into a "Dungeon"-SAVEGAME
4. Restart CSB again - then RESUME. Choosing the game from 3.) - and here we go!...

Besides, the reason why I reply after so many days is... that I actually was successfull in getting into the dungeon, and since then... spend hours playing this wonderful game!!! (The first room IS REALLY HARD!...).

Good to know you managed to get it working okay :). Now you can have fun dying over and over again in the many, many ways CSB has of killing you :D.
