Hint: Hidden song:
Throw coins in the bard's tray in the center of townduring a single player game.

Hint: Defeating Draak:
Reach the last Boss and watch his transformation. Immediatelyafter the FMV sequence, cast the Magic Door spell and warp backto town. Buy about three invisibility scrolls and stock up onmana and healing potions. Instead of using the magic door to returnto Draak's lair, use the start menu to visit last places. Select"Town Exit" and warp there. Continue to do this townby town, all the way back to Draak's lair. Once you are just outsideof the gates, before Draak can see you, use the invisibility andthe Time Orb. You will notice the magic door is still there. Walkup to Draak, and he will have his back to you . Get as close tohim as possible then hold X and start attacking him. Watchthe Time Orb's timer. Once it gets to about ten seconds, run backto the magic door and warp back to town. Use the menu to warpall the way back to outside level 29 and replenish the Time Orb.Reenter the level and repeat. Make sure to use an invisibilityscroll to get the drop on Draak. As long as you only use the magicdoor to get back to town, it will stay there. This strategy willprevent Draak from being able to replenish his life and give youa easy win.

Before he transforms, use Magic Door and gather potions and equipthe best fire resistance items then head back out. Let him transform,then equip a long range weapon (need to have at least 80 in Dex).Use the orb and belt potions and run back to the entrance untilyou cannot see Draak. Fire in the direction Draak was standing.After a short period of time, an intermission sequence will appearand you will have defeated the Dragon. Gather the key, scale,and hand then open the gate. Gather all the money (900,000 dependingon the level of your character) and gate to town.

Do not use the hammer given to defeat Draak. Instead, buy bowsall through the game. Each time you buy a high power bow aftera level or two, a new higher power bow will appear at Gunther'sstore. Buy that one, and sell the old one. Use a bow with 40%to hit or higher. With that bow, you can stand out of Draak'sreach and kill him. First, equip you bow and get to a corner(by the gate of gold) where Draak cannot reach you. Start hittinghim. Make sure the X Draak appears in your text box. He willgroan each time you hit him. Thunder will sound when he re-energizes. Count the number of times you hit him before he re-energizeshis power. If it is fifty or less, you are in good shape. Putthe Time Orb on your belt. If he re-energizes at forty-nine hits,count up to forty-eight hits and activate the Time Orb. He willdie at the forty-seventh hit the next time around.

Hint: Casting spells faster:
When using a mage to cast spells such as Magic Missile,walk towards or away from your targeted enemy. While walking selectthe spell command as fast as possible to skip the spell castingsequence.

Hint: Level up faster:
Create a new character, then begin a new quest. Whenyou are in town, equip the items you have. After you have donethis, exit town and start to fight enemies. When you level up,save your attribute points. Keep doing this in Ardyl until youfeel comfortable with the level you are at. You should reach expertlevel in about one hour. This will work as if you are at leveltwo the entire time. Doing this trick can turn a warrior intoa warrior/wizard. Note: If you quit the quest, this will no longerwork; or if you are leveling up slowly again (after level 16 or18) buy learning.

Hint: Selling equipment easily:
Play as a mage with the spell Magic Door. When youcannot carry anymore items, use the Magic Door spell to returnto town. While at town sell all of the equipment you need to selland rest for 100 gold. Go back through the gate and get the itemsyou need. Repeat this as needed.

Hint: Easy money:
You will usually get more money for selling items ifyou repair them first.

Play in beginner level 20 or under and get fairly far in the game.Completing it would be best. Then, play through the game as abeginner again, but with the same weapons, armor, and items frombefore. You can sell all the objects you do not need and you willnot have to buy anything.

Immediately buy a level 1 Repair skill and leave the town. Startbattling monsters and getting the equipment that they drop. Whenyou get to the point that you cannot get anymore equipment, startrepairing your inventory. When done, go to the town and sell allthe equipment to gain more gold. Every time you get enough gold,raise your Repair level up by one.

Hint: Buy multiple unique items:
When you have a decent amount of money, you can purchasemore than one of any item, even one-of-a kind items such as strengthpotions, spell books, etc. Fill up your inventory to the maximumbefore buying anything. Then, simply purchase the item and insteadof it disappearing from the shop window, it will stay there andthe item you purchased will merely fall to the ground.

Note: You can avoid having to keep your inventory full (eat thosemushrooms and sell that armor) to purchase more than one "unique"item, such as that ring that gives you +15 to all attributes.When the item disappears from the magic shop listing after buyingit, simply exit from the magic shop, then talk to him again. The"unique" item will be there. The other tip may be quickerif you want something such as Dexterity Potions, but for powerfulrings or spellbooks, this method is much quicker and allows youto sell your dungeon loot for extra money beforehand.

Hint: Extra food:
In the scenario were you have to get the Horn Of Plenty,keep using Abundance to continue getting chicken legs.

Hint: Extra money:
When you get far enough into the game, buy a mace fromthe priest section of the "Buy" menu, then sell it.You will get more money than what you bought it for.

Hint: Easy Lycanthropy:
While in Lycanthropy, press Magic Spell Button 1or Magic Spell Button 2 (whichever it is set to) to resetthe timer. This is very useful for walking faster and keepingyour attack power high.

Hint: Playing as a thief:
When using a thief, always uae a throwing weapon. HoldX and it will keep throwing. Buy Magic Doors and keep replenishingthose instead of going back through all of the levels. Do notlearn any spell books. Thieves do not need them, and you willnot have to carry any mana. When fighting a difficult opponent,run until they are just out of sight then start throwing yourweapons. You will still be hitting them, but they cannot hit you.This also works with Draak. Never pay money to rest. Instead,use the "Rest" option when you are in town. Then, justeat a piece of fruit or something else; it is cheaper.
