DARKSTONE Bonus Song:
-----------
For a lovely bonus in the single-player game,
toss some coins in the bard's tray (in the
center of town.)
Easter Egg:
-----------
When playing as the thief, you can steal from the
chickens in town. Your reward is entirely
appropriate. :-)
Extra gold:
-----------
Begin a new game and give all money from one character to the
other character (money holder). Start another new game, and
select the money holder as one character and create an
entirely new character. Transfer 1500 gold from the new
character to the money holder. Repeat as needed to build
your gold total.
Money Trick:
------------
The fastest road to easy money is by starting a new game with
two monks. Transfer both the money and book of resurrection to
one monk then quit the game. Start a new game with that same
monk and another new monk, repeating the process until inventory
is full of books and money. Ideally transfer books to a fighter
with a good trade skill and sell all the books bringing in a
total of about 180,000gp. Deposit gold and repeat. Mmmm.
Hint: Avoid player killer problems:
-----------------------------------
Use the following steps to save your game when playing over a
network. Copy your save files to another directory that is
outside of the DarkStone directory before joining a network
game. To restore a save, reload DarkStone from the CD, then
copy the saves from the outside directory. Note: Make sure
all three saves are copied.
Play Music in MP3 Player
------------------------
Because the music in DarkStone is stored in MP3 format,
rename the file (giving it an [mp3] extension) to hear
it in your MP3 player!
GameTips
--------
The spell of choice for magic users:
------------------------------------
The spell of choice for magic users, especially between levels
1 and 20, is the Magic Bomb. This is a magical contact grenade
that you can drop directly onto your enemy's head, even from
around a corner or through a wall. I never saw a monster resist
it, and it does around 30 to 70 points of damage per hit.
tired of getting killed:
------------------------
Are you tired of getting killed over and over by spike traps and
mines while you're trying to get to the treasure? The problem
often can be solved by one or two Scrolls of Telekinesis, or a
Scroll of Teleport. They cost a few gold pieces, but can save you
a lot of time.
The Time Orb:
-------------
The Time Orb, once you have it, still won't do you a lot of
good in the battle against Draak. It has only one charge, and
its effect doesn't last long. You have to do hundreds of points
of damage to Draak in about 30 seconds if you want to win the
fight.
