Opening Chests

Alternatively, in some versions, you can kill the dragon by falling on top of him through a pit on the level above. Presumably this is mechanical as the party and a monster cannot co-exist on the same tile.

I only found out about that on accident something like 20 years after I first played the game. Because I got startled by the phone ringing and accidentally hit the wrong direction button, and fell into a pit, then saw the "smoke" you see when a monster is killed, and a bunch of dragon steaks at my feat.

Game envy here. I've never had the pleasure of this experience.
Anyone know if you can time a fall through one of the pits above the dragon,
being reasonably sure you'll kill the brute?

[Prince of Elves]

I suppose you can save your game just before going down a hole and then check where he is in relation to you, checking out the most promising options. May take some reloads but unless he's stationary till you visit him and spawns right under a pit that would seem the best option to me.

You should be able to use a Magical Box to freeze time for a few moments

Andy Jaros recalled the telefrag bug and said it was fixed in later versions. Do you know if that's the case Christophe?
