PLEASE NOTE: All map directions are in italic.
DAY 27
You arrive at the Rasier Gate Plaza. Khaveen will welcome you
\ threaten you, but he will eventually give you a visa. SAVE
YOUR GAME HERE. Enter the Blue Parrot Inn. Ferrari will
ask you to join him, so walk over to him and SIT down.
He will ask what you want to drink - ask for COFFEE.
When the bartender brings your coffee, make sure you DRINK it.
Afterwards, Ferrari will dismiss you. Explore until evening,
but don't get lost because your Magic Map does not work in this city.
When evening arrives, return to Blue Parrot Inn. Ferrari will
again ask you to join him, so walk over to him and SIT down.
You will be introduced to Ugarte. He will offer to sell
you some information. PAY UGARTE to get this
information. You must talk to Ugarte. ASK ABOUT
SERVICE and ASK ABOUT WATER. It's time to go to
bed now, so STAND and exit off screen left behind
the bar to enter bedroom.
DAY 28
After a rough night, you awaken in the Blue Parrot Inn. Leave the
Inn, and SAVE GAME HERE. Leave the Rasier Gate
Plaza through the top exit, until you reach Rasier Fountain Plaza.
The fountain here is dried up and vandalized - completely
different from the beautiful fountain you left behind in Shapier.
Walk down, and watch, as Ugarte Is dragged off for smuggling
water. Walk down again, and leave the Plaza through door at the
top.
Follow path until a woman in a veil stops you. Follow her
through door on the right, then enter door on the left to find yourself
in the Harem’s House. She tells you that she longs to escape
the oppression here, and asks for your help, so GIVE CLOTHES, and GIVE VISA to
her. She’s the spitting image of you, now. She gives you her MIRROR to
show her appreciation. After she leaves, wait a few seconds, then
leave the Harem House.
Back out in the streets, USE COMPASS to get your
bearing. Head south until you’re back at Rasier Fountain Plaza.
Now walk up, and continue up, until you reach Rasier Gate Plaza
again. Make sure each of your spells is at least level 90 - if not,
practice CASTing spells in the street. But don’t get
lost. When you’re spells are high enough, just wander around
the streets until evening, but don’t get lost.
When evening arrives, return to Blue Parrot Inn. When you’re
able, enter your room and sleep for the night.
DAY 29
After a rough night, you awaken in the Blue Parrot Inn. Ferrari
tells you that it’s been a pleasure doing business with you.
What’s he talking about? It’s almost as if he doesn’t
expect to see you again. SAVE YOUR GAME HERE. As soon
as you step outside, you will be arrested.
The guards throw you into a jail cell. The other prisoner here is
a Katta, but he is very wary of you. TELL ABOUT SELF,
then SHOW PIN to the Katta. He now knows he
can trust you. ASK ABOUT NAME, and he tells you his
name is Sharaf. Now the pair of you need to escape from this
cell, before Khaveen arrives to interrogate you. Walk over to the
cell door, and CAST OPEN. The door will be open in no
time, so simply walk out of the jail cell.
Sharaf reveals a hidden escape route in the walls of the jail.
Before you leave here, make sure you GET EQUIPMENT from
table on the right. Now ENTER PASSAGE to follow
Sharaf through the escape route.
You and Sharaf soon have to part ways, and Sharaf points you in
the direction of the Blue Parrot Inn, before leaving in the other
direction. At the intersection, head left, and follow path until you
meet Ad Avis. Ad Avis hypnotises you, and takes you to the Forbidden City
in the middle of the desert, in search of the Statue Of Iblis.
Outside the ancient ruins, pay attention to what Ad Avis is
saying. He can’t seem to open the door, and in your hypnotic
state, you are powerless to resist him. USE MIRROR to
reflect moonlight onto the door to open it. Ad Avis sends you
in - the door closes behind you, trapping you inside.
You’re in a very dark cave now, and you can’t see anything.
Thankfully, you still have the magic lamp with the Fire Elemental.
RUB LAMP to get some light, then walk left to the
next cave.
There’s a waterfall and a stream flowing through this cave, with
logs continuously falling down the waterfall. SAVE YOUR GAME
HERE. Walk up to base of the waterfall, and stand near the
shore, close to the waterfall. Wait for a log to float
near you, then JUMP onto the log. JUMP again,
once the log reaches the opposite shore. Nice reflexes! SAVE
YOUR GAME HERE. Now notice that hole in the rocks on the left.
Walk over to it, but be careful, as it will try to suck you in.
You need to block the force of the wind, somehow.
No worries - you’re a powerful Wizard! LOOK ROCKS and CAST
FORCE BOLT near the wind hole to make the rocks collapse over the
hole. Now climb up those stairs next to the waterfall, and make your
way behind the waterfall to cave on the right.
SAVE YOUR GAME HERE. You’re back in the cave you began
in, except you are on a higher path now. Walk right to the next
cave, but be careful not to fall.
You’ve reached a Lava Room now, and the heat here is scorching
hot! Follow the path round, but be careful not to step in the
lava flames. USE WATER when you get too hot.
You’re now in the Earth Room, and you’re standing on a path overlooking
the chamber down below. Walk to edge of the rock, then CAST
LEVITATE to float down. Now approach door on the left, and
it will ask you about the name of the power. If you remember
what Ad Avis said outside, you’ll know the answer. Say SULEIMAN to the door.
The door opens, allowing you access to the next cave.
You’ve finally reached the Treasure Room. LOOK around
all you want, but don’t touch anything, because the treasure is
cursed. Walk through door on the left, into the next cave.
The Statue Of Iblis is in this room. This is what Ad Avis has
been searching for. You automatically walk up to the pedestal,
towards the Statue. Ad Avis will appear, grab the statue, and blast
some rocks to block the door, so you can‘t get out. How kind! Then
he teleports himself away, leaving you trapped in this cave. Walk
back down the path, then walk down a little bit, to see something
flash in the darkness. LOOK FLASH, to realise it‘s
a ring. GET RING and read the inscription. Wow,
this is a MAGIC ring! A Djinni appears,
granting you 3 wishes. But what should you wish for? ASK
ABOUT WISHES. Hmmm, so you can only wish for Health, Prowess, or
Teleport to Iblis. Okay, since you are a magic user, WISH
FOR HEALING, and you feel all your aches and pains disappear.
WISH FOR MAGIC, and your skill at magic gets a
major boost. Lastly, TELEPORT, and the
Djinni teleports you to Rasier Palace Plaza.
DAY 30
SAVE YOUR GAME HERE. You’re in Rasier Palace Plaza.
Sharaf, the Katta you freed, will briefly appear and tells you
that the Underground Resistance is almost ready to attack the Palace.
RUN down to the Palace entrance. There are 2
guards at the door, and another guard patrolling on the wall above.
Quickly CAST FLAME DART at the guard above, so
he can’t call for reinforcement. Now CAST DAZZLE on
the guards at the door to blind them. Finally, CAST OPEN on
the palace door, and enter the palace. You’ll
automatically work your way through the castle, until you reach the
last chamber. Khaveen is guarding this chamber. CAST
CALM to distract him, and he will wander off.
Now CAST LEVITATE to float down to the floor below
you. SAVE YOUR GAME HERE. There is a door at top of
the stairs on the right. CAST OPEN on the door.
Now before you enter, CAST REVERSAL on yourself (you’ll
see why, soon enough). RUN through the door to find
yourself in the Ritual Chamber.
As soon as you enter the room, a big stone statue will come to
life and attack you. Ad Avis is also here, and he’s almost finished
his ritual. Quickly CAST TRIGGER on the statue
to make it crumble to bits, then CAST FETCH on an unlit
candle to disrupt Ad Avis’s Summoning Spell. He’s furious at
you now, and starts using shape changing spells on you.
Hopefully, you’re protected by the Reversal Spell (you DID cast that
on yourself before entering the room, didn’t you?), and his spells
will just reflect off you. Khaveen, still under the influence of
your Calm Spell, enters the room at this point, and is turned into a
snake (couldn’t happen to a nicer guy!). Ad Avis
realises you’re protected by a Reversal Spell, so he changes tactics,
and plans to cast a spell that will set you on fire. Run into
centre of the room, and CAST FORCE BOLT on the
wall between the first and second pillars on left side of the
balcony. The spell will reflect into the brazier, the brazier
will fall onto Ad Avis, and Ad Avis will fall over the edge of the
balcony. The Djinni will reappear, tell you the real prophecy, and
then vanish again.
With Khaveen and Ad Avis gone, you can restore Rasier to it’s
former glory.
Now sit back and enjoy the ceremony in your honour. You truly are
a hero!
The End!
