1. Introduction/Dedication
Hi, welcome to my latest FAQ for Aidyn Chronicles - The First Mage.
This one's dedicated to everyone who purchased the Prima-Guide and
noticed a few things were missing...
I myself purchased the guide after getting a bit lost in the woods
while walking from Gwernia to Erromon. Since then I've found quite a
few discrepancies between the guide & the actual game. I will attempt
to list them all in this work.
If you want to e-mail me about something I missed; by all means please
do so & I'll give you credit for the addition. If you want to send me
hate-mail, Please don't bother... (I'd just respond in kind & then add
your address to my spam filter, so there isn't really much point)
By the way, if you want to get to a particular section in a hurry;
just type the section name into you're "search" command
(Alt-E-F in most cases) Cut & paste it from the Table of Contents
(Just be sure to include the Section number/letter code as well)
Well, I guess I should get down to business...
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
2. Spoiler Warning
This should be pretty obvious, but just in case...
This FAQ Contains SPOILERS for Aidyn Chronicles - The First Mage (N64)
Location of caves, secret areas, item lists etc...

A. Cities, Towns & Other Maps
Page 32, Map 2-3 Goblin Caves (Interior)
Next to the "Gwernian Banner" marker, there should be a notation
that late in the game the Helm of Tempests can be found in the same
cave.
Page 36, Map 2-4 Road from Erromon/Gwernia to Talewok's north entrance
On the ridge shown on the right side of this map, just north of the
chest marked #7, there is a small alcove shown in the outer edge of
the map. There is a cave here that contains a Mirror Scroll, Boots
of Adamant, some Gorgons & other enemies.
Page 37, Map 2-5 City of Talewok
Not the biggest mistake, but Shops E & F are labeled backwards on
the map.
Page 39, Map 2-6 Talewok Wizard School (Interior)
They forgot to mark everything in this map...
There's a Portal in the middle of the basement floor;
There's a professor in the main room of the first floor (Prof. #1)
There's a professor in the small lower right room on the first
floor (Prof. #2) & another professor in the lower right room on the
Second floor (Prof. #3).
Ardra's room is the upper right room on the second floor & it's
Guarded by a man standing between her door & the stairs to the third
floor.
Page 43, Map 3-1 Road to Port Saiid from Talewok & Southern area
1. In the water south-east of the chest marked #25 there is a large
rock with a man on it. He'll give you the Lighthouse Key if you
make the beach safe for him...
2. In the water west of the chest marked #21 there is a submerged
chest containing a Teleportation Scroll
Page 49, Map 3-3 Chaos Island
This is kind of funny (not really)
they forgot to include a map of the INSIDE of the Temple...
(I'll include one when I get some more free time...)
Page 51, Map 3-4 Cradawgh's Island (Interior)
They forgot to mention that the gate unlocks once you "rescue"
Cradawgh; don't leave the Island until you go there because you
can't return by boat later...
Behind the Gate you'll find 2 Portals (only one works) & a chest
containing a Brilliance Scroll & a Charming Scroll.
Page 54, Map 4-1 Road from Talewok to Darkling Bog & Terminor
1. Just east of the chest marked #10; there's a cave (the river's
source) inside you'll find some enemies & gemstones
2. East of chest #17 there's a (kind of) heart shaped hill shown;
there's a cave just east of the top of the heart
(I'm pretty sure it's empty, but they still didn't show it)
Page 56, Map 4-2 City of Terminor
1. Due West (left) of the Inn there's a grassy area. In this area
At certain times in the game there will be a woman who will give
you an item called "Rabisat's Asp"
2. There is a shop that's only open at night (Shop F) directly
across from Shop B.
Page 59, Map 4-3, Darkling Bog & surrounding area
Where to begin...
1. the 2 caves mentioned for page 54 aren't in this map either.
2. Find Shamsuk's Tower & Elshiva's Tomb in the bog map; now, take
a ruler & draw a line (not really, but line the ruler up)
starting at the tower, going through the tomb & to the edge of
the map. OK, along that line, halfway between the tower & the
tomb, the "Wild Man of the Bog" (short dude) will be walking
around & on the other side of the tomb, just across the river
(North edge of the lake) You'll find the Lizard King.
3. East of Terminor but just west of chest #8, you'll see a sandy
area. (Guess what, they missed two more caves!)
The first is on the north tip of the sandy area, it's empty, but
will let you access the ledge outside & get a Chaos Sword
(on the ledge)
The second cave is down at the southern tip (in the cliffs, by
the sea) Inside that one you'll find some Trolls & Gold
4. (This one's REALLY annoying) See that gray patch at the bottom?
Look Due north of where the Jundar Gate is, see that little "arm"
where chest #35 is? No you don't, it doesn't exist (neither does
the chest)
5. find chest #28 (in the southern gray area) now draw a line due
east to the edge of the map, there's a cave there. Inside, you'll
find an underground city (with no map in the guide, I'll include
one later) besides enemies, you'll find a Wand of Banishing in
this city.
Page 61, Map 4-4 Shamsuk's Tower (interior)
1. The first thing I noticed is that the 8th floor is missing in
this map... that's the unfinished floor that you actually start
on. (I'll map it out if/when I get time...)
2. Stairway A actually runs from the 7th floor to the small round
room on the 3rd floor that's on the other side of 2 secret doors
from the large hex-shaped room.
3. Locate Chest #4, you'll find a Control Elemental Scroll in the
same room.
4. Stairway's H & K are one-way only (H is actually a secret door
& K's more like a portal <but not quite>)
Page 66, Map 5-1 Jundar Desert & Ugarit
1. (get out your ruler) find chest #9 & draw a line due east.
Find chest #5 & shield #2 & draw a second line from #5 through
#2 (shield not chest) & continue till you cross the first line.
After completing the Barrow Quest, You can find Sholeh where
those two lines cross.
2. Find Chest #7, see that bridge next to it? after the Barrow quest
You'll find a Jundar wandering around, talk to him if you'd like.
3. Bottom west corner of the map, see that dark yellow sand patch?
you'll find the Hellhound Cave there (& a Belt of Teleport
inside the cave)
Page 68, Map 5-2 Ugarit City
Once again, lots of fun with this map...
There are 3 shops that are not marked on this map (F,G & H) & two
shops that are mislabeled (C & D)
Middle Level;
From Shop B going clockwise around the level we have;
Stairs to Upper Level, Shop C, Shop H, Shop D, Library, Shop F,
Stairs to Lower Level & Shop G
(at least they only messed up on one floor)
Page 72, Map 5-3 Maxxen
I found the lack of walls in this map to be rather amusing...
there should be a large central chamber with a narrow hallway that
goes completely around it (forgive my poor ASCII art...)
Entrance/exit

They did manage to place all the chests correctly though.
Page 73, Map 5-4 The Barrow (inside)
In the top right hand corner of the second floor (north side) there
is a Cheat Death Scroll.
It would have been nice if they showed the entrance to the room
With the horn inside. (a hallway opens up in the top left corner
of the Horn's room after Lugash has been dealt with.

B. Missing Shops
Erromon (not really any "missing" shops here but...)
