3. General Info
================
***IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ! (No, really!)***
So far this walkthrough's goal and concept is to get you as fast to the end
-without cheating - as possible. I do make use of my knowledge from previous
games. This might be a spoiler sometimes since, you wouldn't probably have
gotten the benefits of a certain event or a spell, at that early stage in the
game unless you were somewhat lucky. I will also make heavy use of the various
statistics boosting fountains and the like. They must be there for a reason,
right? Nevertheless I will try to not ruin all the fun of the game and I think
that the challenges will still be entertaining the way I went through them.
What I am trying to say is, that if you want to follow the imaginery red line
completely step by step, you'd be better advised to explore the world of Cron
on your own. If you can live with the fact of killing high level monsters at a
very low level then go ahead! Have fun!
***THANKS FOR READING!***

4. The Party
=============
Mgt = Might : Defines how much damage is dealt through weapons.
Int = Intellect : Sorcerer spell points depend on this value.
Per = Personality: Cleric spell points depend on this value.
End = Endurance : Hit points depend on this value.
Spd = Speed : Armor class and initiative in battle depend on this value.
Acc = Accuracy : The Ability to actually hit a target.
Lck = Luck : Random factor for all dice rolls.

0 = no protection 100 = maximum protection
First of all it is a good idea to create the characters in the order in which
you want them to be later in the game. First the fighters then the spell
caster. This will save you the trouble of re-arranging them every time you
leave the inn. I am myself a big fan of the two clerics party. If one dies you
still can revive him with the other one and don't have to head back to town to
get your party complete again. And one thief or ninja for locks and traps is
always handy too. Also thiefs are the only ones that may accompany others on
the single character Mt. Farview quest. Archers may learn sorcerer spells and
Paladins cleric spells later on.
But in the end it's all up to you. If you're playing the game for the first
time I would suggest though, that you spread class, race, sex and alignment as
much as possible. There will be situations when that matters and the more
variety your party has, the more quests and benefits you can get. If you're
using this walkthrough as a steady guide, I highly recommend to put at least
one cleric and one sorcerer in your party. Their spells make traveling and a
lot of the quests easier.
My party consisted of two clerics, a sorcerer, a barbarian, a ninja and a
knight. I like to give them expressive names, like Robin (Hood) for a human,
male, good aligned archer since the characters don't have any pictures, so
that I can see at one glance who's who. But that's just me.
Theoretically it's also possible to play with a party including every class,
hirelings not counted. You just have to leave two at the inn and exchange them
from time to time, so that those left behind may level up too. This may cause
some confusion with ongoing quests though.
If you notice during the game that you made a bad choice by NOT taking a
certain class there's of course always the option to use a hireling with the
same profession instead.
And now...

5. General Tips
================
- If you wait a while at the main menu, a demo will start which will introduce
you into the world of Cron.
- A hint for almost any RPG: Save often! At least before any major battle.
- Go to the blacksmith if you want to see how much '+' bonus your weapons
have! Unequip the item and go to the sell menu, but don't sell it of course!
- There's a city ranking. They get better (training, items, etc.) but also
more expensive. They are connected by portals which allow you to travel in
the appropriate order, from the cheapest to the most expensive city. The
ranking is this: Middlegate - Sandsobar - Tundara - Vulcania - Atlantium.
- The colors stand for different difficulties going from green (easy), over
yellow, over red, to black (toughest).
- Sometimes you cannot find a clue or a place because you are FACING in the
wrong direction.
- Leave the heavy wounded monsters for the weak fighters in your party.
- In order to enable a bonus from a newly aqquired skill you have to REST.
Resting is always a good option to turn on/off a certain effect or spell. If
you want to leave an elemental plane resting will help too.
- You start with a cautious disposition which will be the one I use throughout
this walkthrough, too.
- If you rest many times at the same spot, you may be attacked even at such
safe places like a city. Resting inside a building seems to be secure.
- Always search the place after you have won a battle. It's the only way to
find any treasures.
- If you're looking for a certain item, for Lord Hoardalls quests for example,
use the "search" tool on this text to find it. Most text writing and viewing
programs have one.
- Hirelings get cheaper if you treat them well and don't let them fight
bare-handed.
- You can only have two hirelings in your party at the same time.
- Hirelings cost money every day even if you don't rest.
- In other eras the roads aren't safe anymore!
- Stealing castle treasures really doesn't pay.
- The four corners of the coordination system:
NW = 0,15 NE = 15,15
SW = 0,0 SE = 15,0

charges.

Normally ranging from 1 to 40.
Armor Bonus:
For shields between 1 and 7, for helmets between 2 and 4 and for armor between

their initial charges. Sometimes you will even find items with empty charges.

11. Monster List
=================
The Results of the Identify Monster spell for every creature that dwells
in Cron.
HP = Hit Points; How much damage a creature can take before it
dies.
AC = Armor Class; How hard it is to hit a creature. Sometimes
the AC can be so high that the creature won't even be
affected by your weapons.
Undead = Important for the cleric spells "Turn Undead" and "Holy
Word" some others like "Pain" or the sorcerer spell
"Fingers of Death" won't work on undead creatures.
Special Power = ALL have one according to the Identify Monster spell,though
I haven't seen all of them use it. The special powers of
the creatures vary and are described in the brackets.
Bonus on Touch = ?
Magic Resistance = Immunity to some or all magic spells. Also depends on the
level of the spellcaster.
Special Powers:
swarm, breathes, sprays = attacks the whole group
collapse = unconscious
juggle = changes the order of the party
casts and invokes power = mostly a very powerful hit
lose statistics = lose levels and/or statistics

15. Unsolved Questions
=======================
- Why is there a special power for "identify monster", if ALL monsters have
one!? In the manual for the PC version, many monsters don't have a 'Y' at
their special power.
- What's the exact use of the Navigator skill? wide, open places? desert
Does it work on this system or only PC version?
- some meals
- Bonus on Touch?
- Hand to hand combat? Fight? Shoot?
- Year 1000, end of the world? It doesn't happen, why is it written there?
- Drinks have no effect in this version? In the PC version they have the
following effects:
Orc Beer - Strength
Straight Shot - Accuracy
Id Elixir - Personality
Academic Ale - Intelligence
Rare Vintage - Level
Mystic Brew - Spell-Casting
=========
16. Bugs
=========
- Hirelings mostly name the wrong inn.
- If you want to consider this a bug: Almost all quests can be redone.
================
17. Easter Eggs
================
- At 11,3 in the Sandsobar there's a message written backwards on the wall. It
says:
'All roads lead to Tundara. Are you lost yet. Kilroy was here! Slumrats
rule.'
Kilroy is that famous, very simple drawn guy who is looking over the edge of
a brick wall. Only his eyes, his long nose and his bold head can be seen. A
popular graffiti in the 80's.
- Queen Lamanda's Dungeon: The walls are actually letters.
When turned around 180° they read:
"Central Research Observational Nacelle"
Now if you take the first letters of each word, it says, you may have
guessed it: CRON
Most hirelings are characters taken from movies or comic books:

18. Walkthrough
================
18.1.* Middlegate*
Shops:
Standard shops:
Middlegate Inn - Well, the inn. Save your progress here. Also the place to
pick up your hirelings (if you got any).
Slaughtered Lamb - Local tavern. Listen for rumors and buy food here.
Gateway Temple - Local temple. Healing and new cleric spells are found here.
1,12 (no sign) - Join the local mage guild to learn new spells. Costs: 20G.
Sleepy's Mage Guild - Buy your sorcerer spells here. Members only!
S.J. Blacksmith - Weapons, armor and other useful stuff.
Lock and Key LTD - Buy the Green Castle Key here. Frees the Green Bishop in
Castle Woodhaven.
Turkov's Training - My fave, it has the best music of all shops.
Level up here. It costs a fee though. You should only
train here if absolutely necessary. The better the city,
the better the training, the more Hit Points you get.
Here's the city ranking:
1. Middlegate (as you wouldn't have known)
2. Sandsobar
3. Tundara
4. Vulcania
5. Atlantium
The Poorman's Portal - Buy a trip to Sandsobar for 10G. Cheap traveling that
saves you time. A trip across the nearby river costs
you 5G btw.
Arena - You can fight monsters here for money. It's also part of a quest. Buy
a ticket at the local blacksmith for 10G.
Unique shops:
Brain Detoxification - Very useful later in the game, when you want to get rid
of that useless secondary skill you wasted your money
on. Can only be found at Middlegate . Cost: 100G.
Unfortunately it removes BOTH secondary skills!
Travel Moore - Ah, lovely Murray's Resort Isle! A trip can be bought here for
the *cheap* price of 5000G. If you always wanted to see giants
playing volley ball book this. Not recommended for beginners.
You do get to see somewhat of Cron though, on the way to the
island. Nice sightseeing! Ah well, not really.
Track and Trail - Forest travel for 2000G. Actually 4000G since at least two
party member need this skill.
Edmund's Expeditions - Mountaineering for 2000G. Same as forest travel. Two
people need it.
Otto Mapper, Esquire - Pay 10G and the places you visited will stay visible on
your auto-map.
We start our journey at Middlegate. Exchange your team members if necessary.
Strong characters like knights in the front row and weak ones like sorcerers
in the back of course. Oh and don't forget to give everybody a weapon in the
equipment menu! One step forward and the dead Corak greets you and tells
you what lies ahead. Innumerable battles indeed. Step through the door and
turn right. At x8 y4 (check auto map) is the fountain of clairvoyance. It has
the same effect as the sorcerer spells "Eagle Eye" and "Wizard's Eye" and is
insanely helpful. Sadly it'll vanish after you rest but since you're
practically lost without it, I prefer to go back to Middlegate and rest there.
It's really worth the way!
Now go the Tavern left of the Inn which you just left. Enter the
"Slaughtered Lamb" and listen for rumors. You will hear that the children can
be found at 0,15 (=x0, y15 on your auto map). This refers to the dungeon
underneath the city. If you tip Amber (as soon as you have money of course)
she'll tell you to donate at all temples. Leave.
Leave the town at the city gate (5,15) to the north. Make one step forward and
you meet a Pegasus. It will tell you that it's your guardian pegasus and it
will help you once per year if you find out his name. Later more on this
quest...
18.2.*Quest: The Death Spider's Riddle*
Ahh, the outer world of Cron. Take a deep breath, smell the green grass and
walk north, then west towards Castle Pinehurst. We need to get to A2 2,9
(remember? auto map!). In order not to trigger random fights, walk all the
way on the road straight ahead till it makes the first turn south. There's
also one more sign here. Now instead of following the road, go straight ahead
(facing W) to the mountains and from there into the Ice Tundra to 2,9. You
will meet a hungry giant spider which has a riddle for you. The answer to
the riddle is KEYS (capitals or not doesn't matter, thank god!).
If you visit Mark BEFORE visiting the spider, you'll find out what he's
missing but he will also kill one of your party members just for not having
his keys, the friendly guy he is. Anyway the reward for his keys is great. Go
to C1 1,1. That means walking the whole way back to Middlegate and instead of
walking west, go north this time and follow the road north. 1,1 is two squares
away of the road. This is no forest so you can walk through the trees without
any trouble. So you give the young lad his keys back and you gain unbelievable
10K experience for each character. Now if you only had the money to train!
*Quest End*
So, I fear we have to do some fighting. Before we begin we can take some
preparations. Go back on the road and walk a little back south from where you
came. Now don't follow the road toward the river but keep going on south on
the grass way. Follow the left one to reach a fountain at C2 1,13. Drink from
it to boost your accuracy up to 40. This will only last for one fight though,
sadly. Most statistic changes are not permanent. Then take the right way and
enter the legendary Corak's Cave, but Corak has still to wait a bit for our
visit. We're here for something else. After you entered face south. There's
a secret passage there. Just go two steps forward (don't leave of course) and
voila! - you got the powerful Lloyds Beacon spell for your sorcerer which lets
your party return to any place (outside) you want. And it's only Lvl 2!
Leave the cave.
Back on the track! Follow the road north and then west towards Tundara till
you reach the Ice Tundra, then go north on the grass way next to the mountains
till you reach the very end of it (B1 11,14). Break the frozen water in the
fountain to raise your might to 40. Now you're well prepared for a (one) fight
with low level creatures. I'd suggest you go to Tundara and do some fighting
at A1 12,4 or in the city. This way you can easily go back to the frozen
water fountain and repeat the process. Don't forget to search after you have
defeated your enemy to get your treasures. Monsters that you have defeated in
the ouside, in cities and dungeons do respawn after you leave the map or area
except if they're unique monsters!
After two battles I had gathered in total 438 gold. Enough for now. You can
also already start training your characters. The costs are for Middlegate
100G, Sandsobar and Tundara 200G, Vulcania 300G, Atlantium 500G for each
character. It gets more expensive every level.Keep in mind the city ranking if
you do so. Better city, better training. That simple! You should raise your
sorcerer up to level 3, so that he may cast level 2 spells, because we're
going to need the spell "Levitate" to get us some 'real' money!
18.3.*Gemmaker Volcano*
And what could be a better place for that then a dungeon with the name
'Gemmaker Vulcano' or how I like to call it - treasure cave? A place with no
monsters but a lot of gems and some treasures. Sounds fun, huh? Where's the
hook, you're asking? There's one, well, two in fact. First, levitation is
essential, but we already took care of that. Second, and that is the nasty
part, we need to get past a volcano which randomly erupts and likes to throw
hot lava and magma chunks on our heads, which of course means at our level
instant death for all party members. Luckily I do know a shortcut, even for
the non-climbers among us.
First we need to get to Vulcania. Either by traveling through the portal at
Tundara or by crossing the river with a ferry which is cheaper (5G). You have
to take the upper road since you cannot cross the mountains yet.
The way to Vulcania is Goblin territory and on the road you have a good chance
of being ambushed by them randomly. So either you can run and try again or you
can try to fight your way through. They're among the weakest creatures of Cron
but they come in packs of twenty, which might be to much at this point. If you
get too frustrated over it just use the Tundarian portal inside of the 'Lucky
Dog Saloon', as i said. It costs 50 bucks but for me it was worth it, saving
me that Goblin trouble. 'Peaceful Goblin village nestled in the mountains',
they must be kidding! Anyway, leave Vulcania towards the west, traveling on
the road till you reach the end of the canyon (the first grass square), then
take the path north. At D1 13,9 a wishing well can be found which raises
everybody's personality to 65. Go further north on this way till you almost
reach the end of the Cron world map. To the east is an entrance to a larger
valley but don't enter here before you haven't cast your levitation spell or
else you will become hot and crispy. Go to the single tree square with the
exotic fountain at E1 3,10. Face east, you can get on the mountain here.
Then face south, one more step and you're back on the grass. Now keep going
south on the mountain with the cave. Note: You can only enter the cave from
this side unless you have mountaineering skill! 'Your levitation spell saved
you!' A sentence you will be reading annoyingly often from now on.
Enter and cast a "Light" spell or use a comparable item. No monsters in here.
At 3,3 you can find the sorcerer Lvl 9 spell "Enchant Item", but we're not
able to reach it, since we can't walk through walls yet (spell!). Loot the
place! Nothing can happen! Things of interest: 1. Gems variously scatterd
around. You will need tons of them later on for all the powerful spells. A
rich deposit of them is located in the large hall. 2. Some info concerning
elemental talons and 3. of course the reason we came here for - fiery weapons.
They can all be found in the large hall. Make sure you grab everything: Fire
shield (AC 7), Fire Glaive +4, Fiery Spear +4 and of course the Flaming Sword
+10 which is worth 22K(!). When used as an item the weapons also create a
"Fireball" (S4/3).
In the end I came out with a total of 580 gems. Leave the vulcano and go back
the way you came.
*Dungeon End*
Shopping time! Even though it hurts, you have to sell the Flaming Sword.

First of all take a look at all the statues in the slots on the west and east
side of town. They provide you with vital information to solve the Mt. Farview
Quest. Don't worry, I will remind you later!
Go to Odysseus' Tongue and let your sorcerer learn the Linguist skill (Int +5)
for 500G. Then make a donation at the temple (500G). Leave the city at 15,15.
Face west and go through the wood till you get to the western tip of the
island. There's a fetid pool but this yummy brewery really is a statistic
booster (one fight). Actually it's the second highest boost you can get from
a fountain. Only a well guarded fountain in the Desert of Desolation gives you
more power. All your primary skills are at 100 now. Get back to the city. Oh,
and drinking of the other fountains is NOT a good idea. Use the portal to
travel back to Middlegate. And don't get yourself in any fights!
Buy forest travel and mountaineering for two party members each. Also buy the
cartographer skill and join the local mage guild. After that buy all sorcerer
and cleric spells and make a donation at the temple (100G). You'll probably
get blessed for one day by the cleric. This blessing also includes the cleric
spell "Walk On Water"! Your gold should have melted to 10K or near that but
now you have all the basic skills you need to get to wherever you want to.
Well, almost let's say. We still can't enter the castles yet. Time to change
that! We have actually been working on it already. It's all about being
generous. Yup, that means more donations. Onward we go to Sandsobar.
18.6.*Sandsobar*

Go to The Wizard's Eye and buy the spell. After that we make another donation
at the next temple (200G). Leave the town through the citygates. Walk westward
and at the junction head north.Walk the whole way back to the river near
Middlegate. Go to C2 11,1 and buy the cleric spell "Walk On Water" for 50G
from the curious looking fellow. Go to the road near Middlegate and keep on
going north towards Woodhaven. Go to C1 5,3, then 5,5 and look south. You'll
find the Lvl 9 cleric spell "Holy Word", which is at the moment of course of
no use for you. Back on the road. Walk two squares west now, instead of east
and drink of the fountain there (C1 1,5). That will give you 200 spell points
for the next fight. Remember that spot, when in need! Now head over to
Tundara.
18.7.*Tundara*
Shops:
Standard shops:
Tundaran Arms Inn - Save your progress here. Also the place to
pick up your hirelings (if you got any).
Lucky Dog Saloon - Local tavern. Listen for rumors and buy food here.

Can be found in the northern part of the monster
freezing section. Keeps party from becoming lost in
large, open spaces.
Go to the "Lucky Dog Saloon" and order a specialty. We are going to eat 'Wolf
Nipple Chips'! Mmh, tasty! Costs:100. Leave.
18.8.*Quest: The Castle Key*
Go the final temple, the "White Dove Temple" in the restricted area (2,7) and
donate one more time (200G)! Now that we have donated at all five temples we
deserve an award. Leave the cleric and you're going to find a 'Fe Farthing'.
All we have to do now is go back to Middlegate and flick the 'Fe Farthing'
into the fountain at 15,15.
*Quest End*
But before we do that there's still something else to do. I hope you still
have that statistic boost from the Atlantium fountain on you (No resting, no
encounters, please!)!
You'd better save at the inn because the following part is a bit risky.
Leave Tundara through the city gates. Once outside face west, don't enter the
city but instead go west across the ice tundra till you reach the mountains.
Eventually you get caught by a snowdrift. Try your luck and restart if it hits
you nasty. Step on the mountainsquare at A1 2,3 and drink from the fountain.
You're now level 25, not permanently of course. Advance further in the same
direction and go straight into the elemental plane of air. Two steps and you
reach the end of the Cron world map (So the planet IS a disk and not a globe.
Cron scientists were wrong!). Now walk north till you see the northwest corner
of the world map. Don't enter here (works only if you are blessed) but go to
A1 1,14 and you will find the Lvl 5 cleric spell "Air Encasement". Now go east
but stick to the edge of the world map or you might have an encounter. As soon
as you are on the mountains again keep mountaineering to position A1 8,8.
You'll find the Lvl 4 cleric spell "Air Transmutation" here. Back the way you
came to the mountain and world map edge. Again stick to the edge and walk
through the tundra. Notice the cavern here! At the end you should get to the
Might+40 fountain which you already know. Don't drink from it. It will lower
your Might back to 40. Go back to the road and walk to Middlegate but still
we're not going into town yet.
Take the road west towards Castle Pinehurst. Follow it past the circus
sign till you are in the ice tundra again. There's a huge mountain there. Go
to A2 15,7 and from there walk north to the tip of the mountain. The Mist
Warrior will attack you, but you should be able to kill him with low
casualties. You'll receive 26K experience points and learn the Lvl 7 sorcerer
spell "Dancing Sword". Don't forget to search for treasure! You can revive
dead party members at the temple in Middlegate. And that's exactly where we
are going now.
Enter the city and go to 15,15. You have to figtht your way through, but it
shouldn't be too much of a problem. Flick the Fe Farthing into Feldecarb
Fountain to receive a fabulous Castle Key! At last! Give it to your robber or
ninja and equip it (Thvy +5)!
Rest and drink from the fountain of clairvoyance. Leave Middlegate. Cross the
river and go to Vulcania. If you want to avoid an ambush in Ambush Valley
(hence the name!) just walk on the mountain squares next to the road. Use the
portal to get to Atlantium and train (one of) your cleric(s) till she/he
reaches level 5 and may cast level 3 cleric spells. Leave the city. Drink of
the fetid pool in the west again and let your cleric cast the spell "Walk On
Water". Face east and walk across the water eastwards till you reach the Isle
of the Ancients B4 3,10. Go north to the evil zone and from there east again
till you reach the coast. Walk north and around the coastal line till you get
to C3 0,11.
18.9.*Quest: The Guardian Pegasus' Name*
From there walk south to C3 0,7 to find out the name of the Guardian Pegasus.
It's Meenu. Luckily we have a linguist in our party or else we would not be
able to read it. We'll pay a visit to the pegasus soon at B1 9,9.
*Quest End*
Go two steps back the way you came to 0,9 and then to 1,9. We're not the only
fans of Red Hot Wolf Nipple Chips! He's so excited over it that he gives us
the Lvl 2 cleric spell "Nature's Gate" as a gift.
Now cast Nature's Gate. At this early stage in the game, I casted it on day 12
during daytime, you should be transported to the lake near Middlegate. From
there go to Castle Woodhaven. Stand in front of it at C1 3,13, then go west to
B1 15,13. You'll meet some jolly lumberjacks with blood dripping axes in their
hands. Makes us feel at home here, doesn't it? I hope you haven't fought in
the meantime! Accept the challenge. Should be easy with a might boost of 100.
Even your sorcerer can do this. The prize is an Instant Keep (sorcerer spell
"Shelter" Lvl 5).
Go back to Woodhaven then go to C1 1,11 but take the way over the forest
square to avoid the sight of ghastly 'horrors'! Face north and drink from the
sparkling fountain to gain spell level 9(!) for the next battle! Now go to
the decorated fountain at 1,5 to raise your spell points to 200. Again take
the way over the forest to avoid battling with ghouls.
Follow the road towards Tundara and go to B1 10,15 near the Might +40
fountain. Make one step forward into the ice tundra and go south till you
finally get to the pegasus at B1 9,9. Remember? His name is MEENU. Our reward
for finding out his name is 100,000G. That should last for a while! Search for
the treasure and go back the way you came to avoid blizzards and avalanches.
18.10.*Quest: Mt. Farview Clerics (I): Corak's Soul*
Go back to the road and towards Castle Woodhaven at C1 3,14 but don't enter
here, walk past the castle instead, to the edge of Cron. We need to get to
10,15 without a fight on the way. Walk east across the mountains on the edge.
Remember those statues back in Atlantium? One told us where to find Corak's
soul. Yes, you guessed right! It was C1 10,15! Since you can cast level 9
spells, you can also cast "Holy Word" with your clerics. We already found that
spell in the woods nearby. This is a good opportunity for casting it. All your
foes are undead, which means "Holy Word" will eradicate all of them! Defeat
the undead creatures to gain about 50K experience points and receive the soul
of Corak. This might be handy later.
*Quest End*
Hm, your characters still look a bit weak, don't you think? In the nighttime
of day 12 I had 5 battles fought, 113K gold, 610 gems, 9 food and still a
complete level 1 party except for my level 5 cleric and my level 3 sorcerer!
And I hope that you're still with me here!
So we're going to do some training then. At Atlantium of course! Walk past the
water or travel with the portals to Atlantium. Since we're already here we
might also drink from the +100 pool outside again.
After practicing my fighting skills a bit (dum-dee-dum) I had all party
members at level 7 and 77K gold left. Take the portal back home (Middlegate)!
18.11.*Quest: Nordon's Golden Goblet*
Visit Nordon at 10,2. 'Numerous rewards'. huh? On we go to the cave below
(8,0)! The dungeon should be easy since you're already level 7. Cast a light
spell and proceed.
18.12.*Cavern Beneath Middlegate*
Straight ahead is a message, saying that the moon phase of Cron lasts sixty
days. Go north from there. You will have to do some fighting. We need to find
the goblin lair but that's not too hard since you basically have to walk just
straight ahead. Go to 0,7 to find Nordon's goblet. On the way you will have to
unlock a door or you can bash your way through. "Sleep" spells and "Acid
Spray" worked well for me to deal with larger crowds of goblins and orcs.
Exit the goblin lair and return to Nordon. You get 2K experience, the sorcerer
spell Lvl 2 "Eagle Eye" and unbelievable 1000G if you search. The greedy ...!
I'd rather should have sold the goblet! He tells you to visit his sister.
*Dungeon End*
18.13.*Quest: Nordonna's Children*
She's at 1,2 in the city. Talk to her and she will say that her sons have been
kidnapped and have been taken to the cavern. So go back there.
There are several clues around here. One tells you where to find the "Lloyd's
Beacon" spell, but we already got it. Another one at 8,14 (secret passage!)
will help you to decipher the green messages that are scatterd in the outside
world. Later more on that. Others have info on the Water Disc, the Long One,
Earth Encasement, black battle and J-26 Fluxers. You can go and check them for
yourself but I will tell you everything when it's needed of course.
Now we need to find Nordonna's children. Remember the beginning? We overheard
rumors at the tavern that they were at 0,15. That should be the northwest
corner!
There's a Kobold HQ which is located at 5,14. A little fighting lies ahead. I
used the same spell combination as before, a little curing in between, and my
first rest(!). Don't forget to cast the spell "Wizard's Eye" ("Eagle Eye" on
the outside) afterwards or you can get lost pretty easily. Free Drog and Sir
Hyron. They can be found at the inn and be recruited as hirelings for a small
fee. Leave the dungeon. Nothing interesting here anymore.
Go back to Nordonna. She'll be grateful and all that and tells you that she
has info for you that help you gain untold riches! Wait, somehow this seems
familiar... it's the way to get to the Castle Key, that we already have!
'Untold riches'!! If you loot all the castles maybe. Silly woman!
*Quest End*
I wouldn't bother hiring her sons. They are low level hirelings and all
they'll probably do in battle is die. There are better ones to get.
Go to the 'Slaughtered Lamb' and eat the specialty 'Soup de Ghoul' for 50G!
Let your cleric cure the party if somebody got sick (diseased) because the
dinner was spoiled.
18.14.*Quest: The Green Triple Crown*
Buy THREE Green Tickets at the blacksmith here in Middlegate. Go the Arena and
win one fight. Be careful not to turn around on the fighting spot or you will
unneccessarily waste one ticket! No need to search, at the arena since you
won't find any treasure. The gold is reward enough. You'll get 200 bucks for
the first fight. Leave the arena and use the portal to Sandsobar. Buy yourself
into the local mage guild and then buy the missing cleric and sorcerer spells.
Battle in the Monster Bowl. You'll get 500 gold. Let your sorcerer cast "Fly"
to A4 to get to Atlantium. Drink of the +100 fountain and enter the city to do
one final battle at The Colosseum. You'll receive 1500G.
*Quest End*
18.15.*Quest: Free The Bishop of Green Battle*
Now that we have completed the Green Triple Crown Quest we can take the whole
benefits of rescueing the bishop. Take the portal to get to Middlegate. Go to
the locksmith and buy the Green Key for 500 gold. Now leave the city and go to
..
18.16.*Castle Woodhaven*
Go straight ahead into 'Hoardalls Palace' and continue going north. A jester
will be behind the door, telling orc jokes. All castles have one of them. Keep
going north but don't enter the throne room yet. Take the door east. Then go
south into the Green Room to 10,6 to free The Bishop of Green Battle. You'll
receive 3K experience for freeing him and additional 10K if you have completed
the Green Triple Crown Quest.
*Quest End*
Leave the castle. Scare the ghouls away on C1 2,6. Just visit this spot. "Fly"
(S3/2) to E2. Pick up the inviting fruits. You have 40 food now for everybody.
Lunch still ain't over though, it just began! Go straight up north and you
will arrive at Vulvania or you just cast fly to E1 if you fear to be killed by
the volcano south of the city (watch out E1 3,1!)!
Go to Belinthra's Bar and order a specialty. Meal B - Troll Liver. If you are
trying to leave the bar now, you will be attacked! Seems somebody didn't like
what you ate. The enemies should be easy to kill though. I got only creatures
with one hit point. One or two "Sleep" spells will do. After that a barbarian
and a sorcerer will confront you. Well, seems like somebody DID like your menu
then or at least your fighting style! You can hire them at Hotel Four (So they
say but actually they are in Atlantium!). Be warned that you will always be
attacked in Belinthra's Bar from now on! Meal B is a riot, indeed!
Use the portal to go to Atlantium (or "Fly" to A4) and go to the Boar's Tongue
Tavern. More eating. Let Rowena bring you one of those delecious Devil's
Brownies (specialty). 3000G! Now that's one expensive brownie!
Go to the Carriage Inn and hire Thund R. and Aeril at the hirelings
menu. Leave the inn. It's always good to check the secondary skills of your
hirelings before excluding them from your party forever. Look at Thund R. for
example he's a Crusader and that's exactly what we need right now. Leave the
city, drink of the +100 pool and fly to C1.
Drink of the spell level 9 and the spell points 200 fountains. Go to 1,8 where
the devils footprints were. You will encounter two Grim Reapers who can cast
a quite naughty spell - "Fingers of Death", but they should absolutely be no
problem for you. Just cast "Holy Word". You can even kill them with your bare
hands. Pretty easy, really! You get only 2500 exp. but you find a scroll that
allows you to cast "Fingers of Death", too. It's a Lvl 5 sorcerer spell.
Enter Hoardall's Palace (Castle Woodhaven) and go north directly into the
throne room. Lord Hoardall will only talk to a Crusader about his quest(s).
That's why we brought Thund.R with us! The lord wants us to find some item's
for him. He has four quests of different difficulties for us. Page's Quest
being the easiest of course. You have to seek one non '+' item which can
be found practically in every shop in Cron (check the 'Shop' list of this
walkthrough!). The item he's looking for is randomly chosen. For me it was a
Scorch Maul (Plate Armor, Shock Flail). The Squire's Quest is a bit tougher:
B Ring Mail (Flaming Sword(!), Rapid Katana). The Knight's Quest is very
tough: Dyno Katana (Green Key, G Plate Mail). As long as you haven't solved
the quest you're on, Lord Hoardall won't give you a new one. The Lord's Quest
of course then is the only real quest, if you want to say so. No random items,
but you have to find the Sword of Valor, of Honor and of Nobility. If you have
trouble finding an item or are stuck in any way you can find a quest removal
elixir (19 G) in both random quest castles. In this castle (the other one is
Castle Hillstone) it's in the guard tower at 13,2 but you'll have to get past
the guards first. There's some food (40) at 8,6 which can be reached through a
secret passage from the northern side but it's guarded too and is not worth
the fight.
Depending on the item the lower quests get each character between 64 to 8000
experience points. Don't forget that the experience is now distributed along
eight people instead of six!
So don't bother with the lower quests, just accept the Lord's Quest and leave
the throne room through the door you came in. Enter the next door on the west
side (8,9). At 6,12 (secret door like all small rooms here) you'll find
Rope 'n' Hooks (S2/4) but they have no charges. At 5,9 you'll find a Large
Club. At 4,11 you can find Torches. At 7,10 you'll find a Cupie Doll.
Take one. 3,9 also has Cupie Dolls. Go to 2,11 to get the 'M-27 Radicon'.
Leave the room and go south then east into the Grand Hall. It's full of Large
Clubs, Cupie Dolls and Rope 'n' Hooks. Don't take any of them. They're
worthless. There's a 'safe passage' through the hall, where no items lie to
avoid that annoying messages: three steps east, then north till you reach the
door. Enter and take the way to the right. Enter the next room. At 12,12 you
can find Black Tickets. Take three of them. Don't take anything else. Go back
to the hall and back through the eastern door and leave the castle.
*Dungeon End*
Go to the spell level 9 fountain again and drink. Now look closely at Aeriel's
character. The ugly duckling has become a beautiful swan! Why is that you're
asking? Well, unlike your sorcerer(s), this sorcerer knows ALL spells. She
was just not able to cast them. Till now.
18.17.*Quest: The Green Message*
Various messages can be found across the land of Cron. Look at the following
spots to find all Green Messages.
B2 (14,9) Green Message No. 1: o a ivaoc eehu whss na eTeno aoacs bciltsth k
B3 (12,2) Green Message No. 2: F e iuteeustj ceetuF i virs ri sAb aaoritrs
B2 (14,5) Green Message No. 3: r c nil ot,eer h i Mtr wrl uopptl.Readlh het.
B3 (12,9) Green Message No. 4: h dd bmr y irdao v .a gpfprea orn ew ia
We already found the code to decipher the message in the cavern below
Middlegate. It was " One letter after another 2-1-3-4." Put them in this
order
Green Message No. 2: F e iuteeustj ceetuF i virs ri sAb aaoritrs
Green Message No. 1: o a ivaoc eehu whss na eTeno aoacs bciltsth k
Green Message No. 3: r c nil ot,eer h i Mtr wrl uopptl.Readlh het.
Green Message No. 4: h dd bmr y irdao v .a gpfprea orn ew ia
and read from the top downwards to get this message:
For each individual to become true, see the jury which resides at Mount
Farview. Travel in groups of appropriate class. A Robber can aid all others
with their task.
*Quest End*
Fly to E1 and drink from the fountain at 1,5. Your characters will be level 20
and all statistics will raise to 40. Cast "Levitate" and enter Gemmaker
Vulcano. Once inside, cast a "Light" spell and go to 3,5. You can collect
some gems on the way. Also all items, including the Flaming Sword have
respawned. Collect everything you need and don't forget the gem deposit (about
500 gems)! When you arrive at 3,5 let Ariel cast "Etherealize" (Lvl 7) to get
through the wall. A sweaty person wants to sell you the Lvl 9 sorcerer spell
"Enchant Item". The cost is ten years of your lifetime. All your characters
age ten years. Buy it, cast "Etherealize" again to get out of the room and
leave Gemmaker Volcano.
18.18.*Quest: The Three Hidden Swords of Chivalry: Valor*
Fly to A2 and let your sorcerer cast "Guard Dog" to avoid being surprised by
any monster. Go east till you find the wagon tracks that lead off the road.
This is the way to Sarakin's Mine but we won't enter there, yet. We go to A2
11,2. Prepare for battle! You will encounter six Mountain Men. Being at level
20 your strikes are quite powerful. If that shouldn't be enough to kill them,
let Ariel cast some high level offensive spells like "Star Burst", "Inferno"
or "Implosion". Your may want to let your own sorcerer cast "Dancing Sword",
too. You get 3000 exp. Search the area after you have won the fight to find
the Sword of Valor.
*Quest End*
18.19.*Quest: The Three Hidden Swords of Chivalry: Nobility*
Go to C1 drink of the spell level 9 fountain and fly back to the level 20
fountain near Vulcania. Drink from it, go to 1,4 and from there on continue
westwards past Ambush Valley and the Radiation Zone till the road turns south.
Climb up the northern mountains to get to D1 0,8. Four Priests are guarding
the Sword of Nobility. Use the same tactic as before. They're even easier than
the Mountain Men. Search to find the Noble Sword.
*Quest End*
18.20.*Quest: The Three Hidden Swords of Chivalry: Honor*
Well, you know the routine... Spell level 9, character level 20, then go to
D4 14,11. It's easy to find, since it's only one square northeast of your
"Fly" arrival point. The Guardian (six actually) defends the Sword of Honor.
I found this to be the hardest of all three fights. The monsters have higher
HPs than the ones before (Check the monster list!) and you also do get 6000
exp. instead of 3000. The monsters have a high magic resistance, so
offensive spells seemed rather useless to me, except maybe "Implosion". Try
your luck with Aeriel's "Power Shield" (Lvl 8) to survive the gas breath and
for the rest of the party it's just plain monster bashing. If the battle seems
too tough for you, you might consider using the level 25 fountain (between
Tundara and plane of air, remember?) plus the one near Atlantium. After you
have (hopefully) won, search to get the final sword.
Time to claim our bounty. Go to Woodhaven and talk to Hoardall. You will earn
100.000 experience points.
*Quest End*
Since we're already here we can drink of both magic fountains (SP and SL)
again. I think now would be a good opportunity to raise our statistics a bit.
Go to all the cities and buy all skills according to the class which makes
the best use of it. That would be thievery for ninjas and robbers or
personality for clerics for example. Maybe you will have to remove some of the
old ones at the detoxification specialist in Middlegate to make them fit for
each character. Also buy the Merchant skill which makes things a lot cheapier
at the shops. You don't have to save any space for new skills. Make a hero
of those who still have one space left or give them the same skill twice to
double their main statistics.
Use the "Fly" spell to travel from one city to another. All cities are in one
corner of the world map (A1, A4, E1, E4) except for Middlegate which can be
found at C2. You can use the spell even inside the city as long as you are
outside of a building.
Along the way you can go to Sandsobar and eat the Gourmet Dinner B at the
Red Lantern Tavern. You will meet the ninja H.K. Phooey who likes your taste.
You can hire him at the Hourglass Inn so he says but for me he was at Hotel
Four in Vulcania.
When you are in Tundara buy yourself into the local mage guild and buy the
Lvl 3 and Lvl 4 clerics spells that you're still missing ("Cold Ray","Lasting
Light","Restore Alignment",that'd be.) and the Lvl 4 sorcerer spells ("Feeble
Mind" and "Fireball"). You can find some clues about missing persons and the
snowbeast which is roaming the outskirts of this city. They are at 13,9, 13,4
and 8,8, if you haven't already stumbled upon them. There's also a magical
barrier at 3,5 through which you can walk now with the spell "Etherealize" but
there seems to be nothing at that spot.
In Vulcania check the squares 6,9, 6,11, 8,9, 8,11 and read about the four
elemental kings.
Before entering Atlantium you can drink of the +100 pool. Go to the blacksmith
then. If you have the chance of buying some good weapons or armor, then do it.
I bought a Plate Armor +1 for my knight for 2K (merchant skill!), and I bought
two 'Thief's Pick +5' (2K each) for my ninja but don't spent all of your hard
earned cash on expensive items like a Defense Ring or a Teleport Orb. Buying
stuff for 6 - 10K should be sufficent for now.
You may also want to duplicate, recharge or enchant some of your items
(Flaming Sword for example) but be warned that it will cost a LOT of gems
("Duplication" 100 and "Enchant Item" 50)!
I enchanted the Flaming Sword two times to get it up to +12, then duplicated
it and sold one of it with my merchant for 45K along with that Instant Keep
(25K) we got from the lumberjack competition near Woodhaven.
You might want to train a bit too. It's not necessary to train the hirelings
at the moment I'd say. Their training is free but they get more expensive.
After I left Island Training it was day 20. I had one knight, one barbarian
and two clerics at level 9 and one ninja and one sorcerer at level 8. My
gathered belongings were 104K gold, 906 gems and 40 Food. All party members
except the hirelings were 28 years old. ACs were between 3 (sorcerer) and 24
(cleric), HPs between 67 (sorcerer) and 176 (barbarian) and SP for the
spellcasters between 60 and 70. Each character had 226K experience points and
I had fought 22 battles so far.
..I hope your party is somewhere near mine!
If your level is way too low you might want to go back through some of the
previous battles till you're strong enough. I try to use the shortest way to
advance, so if you have lesser gold (or exp. or whatever) than me, chance is
that you left something out.
Fly to Middlegate and rest near the fountain of clairvoyance. It's time to get
some sleep, so that all your new +5 skill bonuses may apply!
Go to Amber in the Slaughtered Lamb and order "Horrors d'oeuvres" for ten
bucks but be warned: You can now pass the grass path on the way to the spell
level 9 fountain but you will be attacked by the undead monsters dwelling
there (for me they were Coffin Creeps). Of course you can also keep on going
through the woods like you're used to.
Leave the city, follow the road towards Tundara and go from B1 5,3 to B2 5,13
(just go south) to find an Ice Sickle +2.
Fly to E4, go east but don't enter Sandsobar, just continue till you reach the
Lithospheric Barrier of the Elemental Plane of Earth. Walk on to E4 8,8,
staying on the mountains all the time, to find the Lvl 6 cleric spell "Earth
Transmutation". Go east again, into the plane of earth till you reach the end
of the Cron world map. Go south to the corner (you cannot and should not enter
the passage yet) and then to E4 14,1 to find the Lvl 7 cleric spell "Earth
Encasement"
Fly back to Sandsobar (E4). Note the "Fly" spell doesn't work as usual in the
elemental planes. If you cast it on the area you're already in, like here E4,
you might end up somewhere else. I got transported to D4 15,15 instead. The
other squares seemed to work though. If you want to be on the safe side cast
D4 or go back the way you came. Maybe the elemental plane disturbs your
sorcerer's mental abilities? Who knows! If you cast A1 in the elemental plane
of air, you end up at E1 15,15 in the plane of fire. If you cast E1 there, you
go to D1 15,15 and if you cast A4 in the plane of water you get to the earth
plane at E4 15,15.
18.21.*Quest: The Yellow Triple Crown*
Now enter Sandsobar and go to Big Al's Accessories to buy three Yellow
Tickets. Put them, and now this is important, in the first character's
backpack. They have to be at a place in front of the Black Tickets or else the
Black Tickets will be used in the next arena fight, which is where we're
going.
Enter the Monster Bowl and win one battle. Helpful spells at this point are
"Deadly Swarm" for clerics and "Fireball" for sorcerers. Your hirelings are
still pretty weak so maybe you will have to heal them, or even revive them in
the worst case, but all in all this fight shouldn't be too much of a problem.
You'll receive 3000 G if you win.
Go to the Fitpro Locksmith and buy the Yellow Key for 1000 G.
Heal yourself, fly to C2 and enter Middlegate. Battle in the Arena and you'll
receive another 2000 G. Heal yourself again and restore your condition if it
has been altered.
Fly to Atlantium drink of the +100 pool and make one more fight in the
Colloseum to get additional 5000 G. Congrats you have won the Yellow Triple
Crown!
*Quest End*
18.22.*Quest: Free The Bishop of Yellow Battle*
Since you already bought the Yellow Key in Sandsobar and won the Yellow Triple
Crown we can fly directly to Castle Pinehurst (A2) to pay Lord Peaboy a visit.
Walk towards the castle but don't enter yet. Instead go to A3 1,14 and 1,13.
You'll find two fountains here and a voice trying to tempt you. Drink only of
the left (southern) one at 1,13 (+25 speed) and go to 0,14 to find the owner
of the voice: a troll. He should be no match for your party. Spells that focus
on one monster only, like "Air Encasement", "Acid Spray" or "Cold Beam" should
do the job, but by now your fighters should be already strong enough to take
him out without any aid. If you manage to kill him he'll probably have some
interesting stuff on him. I got a Battle Axe +5 and even an Admit 8 Pass which
is a quest item (Corak's Cave). Don't worry if you didn't get it. There will
be another chance later. The main purpose of this fight was to give you one or
two better weapons.
Still we're not going to enter the castle. Walk north but stay on the mountain
squares all the time till you reach A2 3,7. From here go straight north to get
to our level 25 fountain at A1 2,3. If you want you can set a beacon here to
save you some traveling in the future. Now go back the whole way (exactly) and
enter the castle.
18.23.*Castle Pinehurst*
Welcome to Castle Pinehurst or as I like to call it 'Timehurst'!
You'll find yourself in a large hall with many doors some having signs above
them. They read:
'Beware The Time Traps As The World Will End In The Year 1000.'
Quite a threat! A time trap can be found at 2,7. Every time you walk on this
square a full year will pass! If you want to try it, the world doesn't end in
the year 1000. I got to 1002 and noticed no difference. Your characters won't
age in the process, by the way.
Turn left (south) and enter the unmarked door at 12,5. Battle ahead!. After
you have (hopefully) won, go to the Yellow Room and free the bishop. This will
give you 5000 experience plus 50,000 for winning the Yellow Triple Crown.
*Quest End*
This might be a good opportunity to rest. My sorcerer already ran out of spell
points a while ago. If you rest, cast "Wizard Eye" afterwards.
Leave the room and enter the hall again. There are various teleporter in this
castle which may cause some confusion while exploring this castle. So if you
want to avoid any unneccessary fights, just enter the door marked as 'The' at
10,7. You will be forced to fight to get through the hallway, and even if the
monsters are quite a few in numbers in this battle, they're still pretty weak
(about 40 HP max). Offensive spells targeting many monsters at once, like
"Deadly Swarm", "Fireball" and "Sleep" should be sufficient. Pick up the
'J-26 Fluxer at' 7,6 and continue your way to the end of the hallway.
There's a secret passage straight ahead. A message will tell you about the
Queen's Triple Crown.
As I told you there's a time trap here at 2,7 already waiting for us. You can
avoid it if you use the sorcerer spell "Jump". Though if you actually lose one
year it doesn't really matter since all events are tied to days and not to
years. It doesn't make any difference really.
Go to 4,3 to talk to Peabody. He will send you on a quest to rescue his lost
son Sherman. Maybe he will let us use his pretty time machine then which is
in the corner through which you just slipped into the throne room (2,5).
Leave the room through the door at 4,3 and leave the castle, too.
*Dungeon End*
Cast "Eagle Eye" if you rested. Fly to A4 and drink of the fetid pool. Enter
Atlantium and train those who can level up. Your sorcerer should have reached
spell level 5 now and everybody of your party should be level 9 except for the
hirelings. There's an interesting spell that you have aqquired now: Teleport!
18.24.*The Slums of Sandsobar*
Fly to Sandsobar and go to 10,1 to enter the slums. Watch out for your gold
and valuables when in battle. Sandsobar is the capital of the thieves and fast
kills when dealing with those are essential. You might want to consider
leaving a hireling with all your valuables at the inn.
At 11,3 there's a secret message which isn't that hard to deceipher. If you
can't get it, check section 17 of this walkthrough.
At 13,2 an old wino tells you that the snowbeast lives in the city walls of
Tundara and if you continue at 14,3 you will be ambushed by some muggers.
There are secret passages to all the small rooms there but they will all lead
you to some sort of enemy. At 15,0 there's a crowd of beggars. If you don't
give them a gold piece, they will attack you. If you do, they'll tell you that
day 93 is Nature's day. Go to 11,0. Someone is fighting for his life against a
horde of giant rats. Help him and kill the rats. Use "Deadly Swarm" and
similar spells. After the fight the guy has already vanished and you won't
find any great treasure either but we came here for another reason anyway. Go
to 10,0 to find the entrance to the cavern. Descend.

18.25.*Cavern Beneath Sandsobar*
Let your cleric cast "Lasting Light" and your sorcerer "Guard Dog". Beware the
cavern is full of ankle traps! You can avoid them if you cast "Jump" or
"Teleport". Like in almost every dungeon you can find various clues along the
way. One concerns the code to free the good wizard from the Isle of the
Ancients (14,14), one tells you where to find the Earth Disc (0,11), another
one tells you where the N-19 Capitor lies (4,2) and the last one tells you
where you can find the spell "Water Encasement" (5,8).
A 'Dog Whistle' ("Guard Dog") can be found at 12,3 but you have to get past
a pack of Killer Canines first. It isn't really worth the trouble in my
opinion but if you want to get it head south, then through the door east and
south again to get to the Sharp Tooth Den. Teleport is of course always an
option.
There are also two famous thiefs that can be found in this cave. One, the
Thieving Fiend Maxwell (13,9), will trick you and won't teach you anything
after you paid him 250 G.
The other one can raise your robbers' (and robbers only) Thievery +10 for
700 G. He can be found in the northwest corner of this dungeon at 0,12. If you
can't, or don't want to, use "Teleport" be warned that some fighting will lie
ahead! Three fights to be precisely and the last one will probably be against
Ninjas who have that painful assassination skill. Your cleric(s) will have a
busy time there. If they still have a round in which there isn't anyone
unconscious let them cast the usually swarm spell, for your sorcerer I
wouldn't bother with any low level spells. The secret passage to get to his
room by foot lies at 4,9.
18.26.*Quest: Mt. Farview Clerics (II): The Admit 8 Pass*
Go to the door at 10,4 and from there south and then west. There's an ankle
trap at 6,1. Enter the door to the left right after the trap. Combat! It
shouldn't be a tough fight. From here go west again to reach 0,0. You will
meet a zombie who will give you an Admit 8 Pass which is needed in Corak's
Cavern. What a nice zombie! If you're done with the cavern let your cleric
cast "Surface" or just go back to the entrance the normal way.
*Dungeon End*
*Quest End*
18.27.*Nomadic Rift Cavern*
As soon as you're outside of the city again cast "Levitate" with your
sorcerer. This will protect you from rift holes.
