Food Spells and invented spells that work!

Post by Becklar »

Hey folks...Is there anyone who has come up with a good combination that makes FOOD.

Also, has anyone made a cool spell not found it the list? Please share with all of us.

As far as the Atari (and CSB for Windows) version go....What you
have seen is all there is. The code and the list of spells are
very clear. There are few things hidden in the code. The fact that
Lord Chaos is unbeatable is one of those things that is handled
by a special case in the code. But no more spells. Sorry.

Just out of interest, how? Because you can damage him, so I always wondered how it stopped that from being taken off of his health.

Maybe it works the same way fire heals fire elementals. Maybe damage to Lord Chaos simply tries to heal him - in physical, fire and poison form.

The code simply reads something like this:

damage monster:

Is it Lord Chaos? Then set Hit Points to maximum.

End

I cannot tell you where it is in the code. To tell the truth, I
just looked for it and was unable to find it. But I remember that
when I saw it I understood why I could beat on that fellow all
day without any effect.

You can put a Firestaff in the game with DMute and fuze the fellow
however.

You can. But you have to use DMute (or some other editor) to plant
a Firestaff in the game.

Originally it caused the program to crash but I think that I
fixed it several versions ago. Somebody tried it and asked
me to make it work. The code was in the origianl Atari CSB
program but was never used because there was no Firestaff!

yep, that was me, and i'm sure it was 4.0 onwards that had the code instated
You can use the firestaff for invoke fireballs, just not fuse/fluxcage in previous versions
4.0 onwards you can fuse chaos as normal

what happens when you fuse Lord Chaos? DO you get the same ending as when you win CSB the normal way, a different ending, or does it just get rid of him?

Out of curiosity, If you active "Show damage to enemies" in the cheat menu and hit Choas, does it show you anything?

I haven't had the time to play it up to there to see.
