Well, if it was called the sacred sword at the beginning then I guess I just missed that. You'll have to excuse me for not wanting to restart the whole game, at this point, just to look at initial message. Heh. Finally found the Sphinx's town, & got the list of answers, only to be asked the classic riddle (for which I didn't need hints). Such is life. *Goes back to sword hunting in cleared caves...*

Get hints for it by talking to the crazy townspeople (they will say all the answers in one go) at the nearest town (or wherever the NPC who asked you to kill the Sphinx is).

Well, I didn't exactly tell the user you needed the sword to kill the Minotaur, but it is called "the sacred sword." Sorry.

While it's nice to know (now) that I started with the relic weapon, it is stated repeatedly in game that there are *5* relics, and when you get all 5 of the sacred armor, you get a message to go to the Minotaur. When starting the game, is the player told that their starting weapon is *the* sacred weapon they'll need to fight the Minotaur? I obviously don't remember. I dropped it pretty quickly as even the maces were better. I hope I can refind it soon... the snakes & wolves are doing 5dmg/attack. Current Stats: 1064 XP 43HP 61ATK 70DEF. *Which cave did I drop that sword in anyway...?*

@CluelessWonder: First of all, I am impressed that you played for so long, but in answer to your questions: 1. You start the game with the indestructible weapon (the sacred sword) and its attack goes up once you have the 5 armor pieces. 2. The reason lesser monsters do more to you, is because you have achieved a level I didn't think anyone would reach. If you had played through the game as quickly as possible, for instance, the greater monsters would always do more damage overall (with the possible exception of reapers). 3. I'll fix that text. It was just that you typically would go to the Minotaur once you have all 6 sacred items (including the sword). 4. Yes, there are clues in game. Talk to the crazy people in the town closest to the dungeon with the Sphinx. They should spout off a whole string of words that answer each one of the questions. 5. Equip the sacred sword (the weapon you start with), if you know where you put it, and then go to the Minotaur's cave.

Not bad, I kinda like it. However, I have a few questions: 1. Where is the indestructible weapon? Currently I am buying out entire towns of gladiuses/weapons just to make it through a dungeon w/o running out of weapons. It takes me 4-8 gladiuses to clear a dungeon. 2. Why if a dungeon is filled with 'lesser monsters' and a Harpy/Satyr/etc. do these 'lesser monsters' average 4-6 per hit on me, while the dungeon boss does 1 per hit on me? For the record that was with full sacred armor and 64 Def. 3. Zeus tells me to help kill the Chimera to receive a sacred item, but by the time I do, I have the 5 *already* from elsewhere, and get a mere 500gold. Er, what? 4. Are there any clues ingame to the Sphinx's riddle? 5. I have (and am wearing) all the sacred armor, yet am still not allowed inside the Minotaur's cave. I have also defeated 7 of the 8 Monsters in the 8 dungeons, and the Sphinx's dungeon is clear except for the Sphinx. What do I need to do to enter the Minotaur's cave?

@Faux: Torches are used by being put in the offhand (where the shield goes). Equip the bow and press the direction of the enemy to fire arrows at it.

I've always loved these types of games. This one is no different, even with it's flaws I had fun playing it. My suggestion is to put in a way to examine items and objects. It wouldn't even have to tell you what the stats of the item or enemy was, just what it was. More than once I had no idea what I was looking at bought a piece of armour thinking it belongs in a different slot than it actually did.

I'm starting to see how the item descriptions work. A bit complicated, but not bad. It would be better if you gave descriptions without having to talk to the people.

For some reason I move 2 spaces instead of 1 soooo... it is difficult to get anywhere.
I cannot seem to find the monster and I am getting tired of looking.

To the developer: If you want to make a good "286 era RPG" like this, try playing the Geneforge series to get an idea of what you should be doing. And get someone else to do your graphics. 1/5 Terry S

setting the quality to low got rid of the lag for me. This game might not be perfect but it uses up more time with less mouse mashing than others. *rated up* because i want to see it improved.

I want to play, and I tried . Way to laggy, mazes are just completley stupid. Had to quit at over 120 exp so obviously I tried. I want to rate this high to encourage games like this but, it needs alot of work. First off I should be able to see stats of items outside of a shop, make something worthwhile if I chose to go through the mazes I went through two and got nothing but exp and basic items. Maybe a better system of mapping Frustrating to walk for hours without an idea of where I'm going, the zoom in works but it's needs improving. Make it better and you may have something here.

I really wanted to like this game but found the mazes infuriating. I tried to like this game longer than I should have. for that 2 stars. I found it difficult to navigate all the maps, in dungeons and in the open.

I fould a huge glitch, when I loaded my game I became invisable and when I finaly found my way to the exit of the town I found myself blocking the exit.

@benammo: That "tracking cookie" saves all your information in the game (all the maps, monsters, and stats). Furthermore, it is not a tracking cookie, it is a shared object, which is only referenced when playing this game.

The biggest problem I have is returning to a dungeon in which I've emptied the first floor and have already found the stairs. It's very long to go back anywhere in a dungeon in this game.

Nice hack n slash, but too easy to win. As long as you can do damage, putting every point into defense is the best option.
