1 Intro:
Wizardry V, Heart of the Maelstrom is a game for the Super Nintendo
Entertainment System. It was released in 1993 and is based on a PC game
of the same name. This game starts you in a maze called "The Maelstrom"
This maze was created by an evil force referred to as "Sorn". I have
been playing this game off and on for years and i have finally beaten
it. All names and other copyrighted words are the property of their

2 Creating a Party:

Creating a party is the most crucial step to playing the game. Beginners
should use the following setup:
1.Fighter(Fighter/Lord/Samurai/Ninja)
2.Fighter(Fighter/Lord/Samurai/Ninja)
3.Fighter(Fighter/Lord/Samurai/Ninja)
4.Thief (Thief/Ninja)
5.Magic User (Cleric/Lord)
6.Magic User (Wizard)
-My party consists of 1 ninja, 2 samurai, 2 lord, 1wizard.

Notes on character order:

-First, you should arrange it so that all your characters can attack. An
easy way to do this is to give 3 of your characters long-range weapons
and put these 3 in the back.
-Characters with heavy armor should be placed before those with light
armor.


3. Walkthrough

Quest 1: The Orb and The Statue
The maze is long and difficult to memorize. A map is needed to navigate
the convoluted passageways. There is a magic spell that has the same
effect, but magic is best used for other purposes. Magic points are
scarce in this game. The map is an item called the Solemn Statue. To get
it, you first have to have the orb of Llygamyn. What you need to do is
advance your character's levels by fighting the various monsters in the
maze. Once one of your characters learns the Mage spell Dumnapic, use
this spell to find your current location. It is now time to get the orb.
The orb is located at the coordinates(E18,N9) Get Orb, save your game,
and go back to town to rest up and see if anyone gained any more levels.
Now it is time to get the Statue. There are two things that you need to
get the statue: the orb, and 37500 dollars. The Statue can be found at
(E8, N24)
You must purchase it from G'bli Gedook. He has many wise words for you
as well. If he does not wish to speak, give all your gold to one party
member, save the game, quit the party, and restart just the member with
all the gold. Have him go in alone. It is never a good idea to fight
G'bli Gedook or steal from him. He has spells that can kill off your
party very easily. Buy the statue for 25000 dollars, then go to Boltac's
Trading post and identify it for 12500 dollars. If you're wondering how
to get the gold to do this, go
to the vampire statue at (E20, N27) and repeatedly give the wrong answer
to fight the bats. These are the best sourse of experience on the level.
By the way, the correct answer is "Vampire." The correct answer reveals
a door. In this area, you can meet Ironnose the Dwarf. I met him at
(E16, N28). you need to buy a key from him for $300. Charming him works
well. BEWARE! there is an enemy in this area(E15, N23) known as a
"living rock" He packs quite a punch. If you do beat him, he leaves a
mace. After raising your level high enough that you have 6 uses of
Dumnapic, its time to proceed to the second floor of the maze. The
creatures there should increase your fortune quite a bit. (Make sure you
explore the area behind the vampire statue first.) The next section is
on getting to the second floor of the maze.

Quest 2:
The Purse, the Motor Room, The Hurkle Beast, and Level 2
Before you take up this challenge, go back upstairs to the Adventurer's
inn and see if you gained any levels. Then save the game at the foot of
the stairs. First of all, you need the purse it is at (E4, N4) you have
to search the corpse and fight some undead monsters to get it. To get to
the purse, you must turn off the motor. To do this, you need the Brass
Key from Ironnose. The motor is located at (E6, N4). Use the key to get
in and select the actions in this order to de-actiavte the machine
D,B,C,A. Collect the Bag of Tokens by defeating the monsters. The bag in
in the chest that they leave behind.
The Token Booth is located at (E12, N4). It lowers you to part pf level
two. This sealed area contains a teleporter at (E7, S4) that can take
you to levels 2,3,4,or 5. The corner (W3, S14) has a chest containing
the bottle of soda. Somewhere in the area is the Hurkle Beast. He has
about 38 hit points and his attacks cause poison and paralysis.
He doesn't leave an item. Hang around this area and fight monsters to
your heart's content. If you want to explore more of level 2, there is a
rope leading into another sealed room at(E9. N5). The pit located in the
small room next to (E11, N1) leads to the same room. This is damaging,
though, so its better to take the rope. This small room has pits at
(W17,S1) and (W16,S6) that damage you. The rope to get back up is
located at (W5, N2).

Quest 3:
The Legendary Den of Theives:
The idea of this quest is to build your levels higher. First, go to the
Inn and check your levels. Its also a good idea to buy weapons and
armor. Make sure you got the map before coming here. To get to the den,
go to the shimmering portal on the first floor (E15, N9). You should see
lots of black. Use the map to find your way to the door. This is the
door(E10,S1) to the den of theives. Inside you will find strong enemies
and several bands of roving theives led by NPC's. Busted Brian, Rick the
Pick, and Le Dombo can all be found here. Make sure you charm them and
get their advice sometime during the game. Always save at the room with
the "Den of Theives" sign so you can restart there in case the theives
steal one of your good items. Their hints cost $250 each. Avoid fighting
the Blackblades, Armor Eaters and Assasins if possible.

Quest 4:
Level Three, The Mad Stomper
This is where the enemies begin to get hard. Level threeconsists of
three parts. The first part is the hallway surrounding the maze part.
The maze part is the second part.
The third part is the top area. Until you get the Litofeit spell stick
to the hallway area.
Aviod the gastrap at (E21,S23).
Its a good idea to try fighting the enemies in lovel 5 to speed this
process. Don't enter Manfretti's yet, i believe you cannot leave for
awhile if you do so.

These are found throughout the game. They offer advice, sell items, or
sometimes steal from you and can even attack.

Level 1 NPC's
G'bli Gedook
He is found at (E8, N24) He should not be attacked and you should not
try to steal from him either. When angered, he calls acolytes and casts
death spells. He is not easily charmed. Buy the Statue from him.

have a list one of these days. They can be charmed easily.

Big Max:
This guy is located at (E7, S1) he sells tickets to Manfretti's. He
packs quite a punch, so try not to anger him. It may take several times
to charm him.

10. Pools and Swimming:
Swimming is an important skill in this game. Items and gold can be found
in pools, as well as monsters and stat alterations. A Character's swim
rating is show in the status screen. This number is the number of levels
they can swim without drowning. To raise this level, save the game and
make the character dive a level deeper than the rating. If your
character drowns, reset the game, otherwise, save and continue. There is
an item that allows characters to swim as deep as they wish without fear
of drowning. This item is called the rubber duck. You can buy it from
the Mad Stomper on level 3. Once you equip it on a character, he/she
will never drown.

11. Character Classes:

You know who these guys are. They're strong and they beat up stuff.
Upgrade these as soon as possible to a Lord, Samurai, or Ninja. Fighters
can be good, neutral , or evil. A character must have 11 Strength to be
a fighter. Gnomes make the best fighters.

They cast cleric spells and are  very necessary. THese Characters should
be upgraded to wizards or lords as soon as possible. Clerics need 11

Thieves are used to open treasure chests and locked doors. They can hide
and ambush as well. They can also steal from NPC's. obviously, theives
