1. Introduction (1)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You start the game as one of three characters, either Vahn, an arcane archer,
Kromlech, a dwarven fighter or Adrianna, an elven sorceress, you start at the
city of Baldur's gate seeking fame and fortune, but as you arrive at night
a gang of thief knock you unconscious and steal all your gold, but before they
could finish the job the night watch scares them off, when you wake up the
night watch tell you to take shelter at the tavern where you try to find out
more information about the thieves...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3. The heroes (3)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Vahn, the arcane archer (Human):
================================
Arcane archers are well known for their supernatural abilities with a bow and
arrow, they have unnatural aim and they have the power enchant the arrows with
the elements. They are fearsome and respectable warriors and are good at
taking down enemies from a distance and taking down those annoying archers
that run away when you get to close.

Kromlech, the Dwarven fighter (Dwarf):
======================================
Kromlech is the youngest of the Bruenghor clan in sunset mountains a gruff and
fearsome warrior very good for hand-to-hand combat and is my favourite
character (at the moment).

Adrianna, the Elven sorceress (Elf):
====================================
She is a very beautiful elf with amazing powers, she is able to cast spells
and like Vahn she is good at taking down enemies from a distance and taking
down those annoying archers that run away when you get to close, she cannot
equip anything that requires two hands like two handed swords and battle axes.

Drizzt Do'Urden (Drow Ranger)
==============================
Drizzt is a Drow ranger, he's good at hand-to-hand combat (obviously, because
he best known for weilding two scimitars) and he starts of with two good
spells (Otiluke's Icy Sphere at level 3/5 and Repulsion at level 2/5).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4. Gauntlet mode (4)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is really hard, Drizzt is very weak compared to the monster you fight
like the Onyx Golem and try be very sparing with the potion their limited,
anyway here is the guide:

Level 1
-------
This is just spiders but it's still quite hard, watch for their poison and
don't get swarmed, while doing that run in then run to a narrow place and kill
the followers.

Level 2
-------
This a mix of kobold and kobold shamans, so go in kill the shaman run to a
narrow place and kill everything that comes near.

Level 3
-------
This is a mix of umber hulks even though there is only three it's still very
hard, they can kill you in one or two hits so don't try and kill them all at
once, so lure them one-by-one to a narrow place or a corner and kill them.

Level 4
-------
This one a mix of 3 spiders and 2 large spiders, lure them one by one and kill
them.

Level 5
-------
This is a mix of gnolls and kobold shamans this is quite easy, so kill the
shamans then kill the gnolls.

Level 6
-------
This is a lot of gargoyles and is probably one of the toughest, so DON'T let
them swarm you because they take of loads of health.

Level 7
-------
This one actually not to bad, kill the spiders and drow first using the usual
Strategie - lure them to a narrow place and kill them - then kill the golem,
be very careful not to get hit because he can in one hit, a strategie i've
come to adapt is to circle him and give him the odd whack.

Well done you finished the gauntlet, extreme mode has been unlocked if you
beat this you will be able to keep Drizzt Do'Urden for the normal game.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5. Inventory/level up screen (5)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can access this screen by (while playing) pressing start then, pressing A:

Note: The little weight on your weapons, armour, etc is the weight of that
particular item, the little weight at the top of the inventory/level up screen
(the one with numbers that looks like this 180/180) is a percentage of the
item you can carry, you get more room as you get stronger. 195/195 This number
would mean your inventory is 100% full (the number depends on how strong you
are) if it's full you need to drop or sell some stuff, 97.5/195 this number on
the other hand means your inventory is 50% full and you have plenty of room
left.

Note: Also at the top of the inventory is the total amount of gold you have,
there is no limit to the amount of gold you have.

Weapons tab: you can view the weapons you have on this screen, the ones you
have equipped have a green background, the ones not equipped are a brownie
colour the one you can't equip (this only applies to Adrianna) are red. You
can have one melee weapon equipped, one bow and how ever many arrows you want
(if you have enough room). You press Y to drop weapons, Press A to
equip/remove them and you use the left analog stick to browse around them.

Armour tab: you can view the armour you have on this screen, the ones you have
equipped have a green background and the ones not equipped are a brownie
colour. You can equip one helmet, one set of body armour, one pair of gloves,
and one pair of boots and a shield. Press Y to drop an item, press A to
equip/remove them and the left analog stick to browse around.

Accessories tab: on this screen there is:

Healing potions: press the button on the top right to use these they heal a
certain amount of health depending on the type (lesser
healing potion, healing potion and extra healing potion).

Rejuvenating potion: press the button on the top left to use these, they
restore a certain amount arcane energy depending on
the type (lesser Rejuvenating potion, Rejuvenating
potion and extra Rejuvenating potion).

Recall potions: these teleport you to the safe place of that chapter (the
safe places are elfsong tavern in chapter 1, Bruenghor
village in the sunset mountains and Sleyvas's hut in the
marsh of cherlimber) then (if you use another one) they
teleport you back to the exact same place you first
teleported from.

you can also equip two ring and an amulet on this screen (obviously if you
have them).

Statistics tab: this tab list all your characters abilities which I explain in
the character abilities (next) section.

Quest tab: this lists and tells you about all your tasks at the present.

spells and feats tab: this lists all your characters spells and feats at their
present rank.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
6. Character's abilities (6)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
These are your character abilities, every four level you get to increase one
of below:

Strength:
This is your characters physical power. If your strength is high then you have
a better chance of hitting with a melee weapon, you will do more damage and
you will be able to carry more stuff.

Intelligence:
This helps you regain arcane energy faster and you get more than you usually
would when you level up.

Wisdom:
If you have high wisdom then you will get more experience than you usually
would when you kill a monster or when you complete a quest.

Dexterity:
If you have high dexterity you have a better chance of hitting with a ranged
weapon and it will upgrate your armour class.

Constitution:
If you have high constitution you will have higher hit points than normal and
faster health regeneration.

Charisma:
+1 charisma = +5 selling price in shops and -5 buying price in shops.

Note: This is the end of your characters abilities and the start of his or
hers statistics:

Experience (or exp as I and most people say (you pronounce it x-p)):
You get experience when you kill a monster or complete a quest, when in two
player mode the player that kills the monster get 60% of the exp while the
other player gets 40%, but both players get 100% of the quest exp.

Next level:
This is the amount of experience needed to get to the next level.

Health:
This is your total amount of hit points, when they reach 0 your character will
die, you can restore them with healing potions or wait because you regenerate
them slowly, leveling up increases your max hit points and your regeneration
rate.

Arcane energy:
This is your total amount of arcane energy, when they reach 0 your character
won't be able to use spells or feats, you can restore them with rejuvenating
potions or wait because you regenerate them slowly, leveling up increases
your max arcane energy and your regeneration rate.

Armour:
This is your characters armour class, the higher this is the less attacks hurt
you, you can increase this by wearing armour (good stuffs better obviously),
or with high dexterity and with the dodge feat (only Vahn and Kromlech can
have this feat).

Base attack:
The higher this is the better chance you have of hitting your opponent, you
can increase this by going up levels, high strength, with a magical weapon and
the sword and fist feat (Kromlech only).

Damage:
This is the amount of damage you do (if you hit), you can increase this by
going up levels, high strength, magical weapon and the sword and fist feat
(Kromlech only).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
7. Spells and feats (7)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
These are your characters special abilities, they give you spells, more
hit points, ect, ect. Each time you gain a level you gain skill points equal
to the amount of level up you are. Some spells and feats have ranks, the ones
that do get stronger or better as they go up ranks but cost more skill points.
Different people have spells and feats for example: the dwarf can have the
feat 'bull rush' while the rest can't but the human can have the feat
'exploding arrows' while the others can't.

There are two types of feats: passive and active.

11. Hints and tips (11)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Break EVERYTHING barrel, urns and boxes are really useful at the start of
the game they hold potions and coins

2. Kill everything, you get weapons, armour, coins, accessories and
experience.

3. Be careful of exploding barrels if it says 'ignite' DON'T hit them they
will explode and at the start they will kill you, when a monster is near press
'X' and watch them blow up.

4. Always save it is really important and it costs nothing.

5. Use the auto map it really helps when you get lost.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
12. Strategies (12)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here are some strategies for the characters:

Vahn, the arcane archer (human)
===============================
Obviously he is really good with a bow and arrow, he can enchant them, sent of
a few at a time and he is also good with melee weapons (but not as good as the
dwarf) anyway my favourite strategie is hide run in say hi then run to a
narrow place and shoot anything that moves.

Kromlech, the dwarven fighter (Dwarf)
=====================================
He's my favourite of the three (at the moment) the dwarf is brilliant with
melee weapons but not much good at any thing else although he does have a
few good feats like Clangeddin's Fist or bull rush, any way my favourite
strategy is run in then run to a quite safe place and kill off all the one
that followed you.

Adrianna, the elven sorceress (elf)
===================================
I have never used her but I do know how you're probably meant to use her, so
she's not brilliant with melee weapon because she can't equip two handed
weapons but she has brilliant spells, so I think you should do the same as
Vahn which is run in then run to a narrow place and blast everything into
oblivion.

Drizzt Do'Urden (elf, I think)
==============================
He's good at hand-to-hand combat, a good startegie is to go in the middle of
enemies and use repulsion.

13. FAQs (13)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Q: Great FAQ! I'm having a problem with the cheat you listed for 190,000exp
however. I can't seem to get it to work. I've tried hitting the buttons at
*exactly* the same time, I've tried hitting them in order, I've tried holding
the buttons down and pressing "A" [this gave me a Drizzt game somehow... =)]
I was wondering if you could give me any advice on how to get it to work.
Should I be listening for a chime of some sort to let me know the cheat worked
or anything? Anyway, sorry to bug you with what is probably a very simple
question, and thanks in advance for any help that you give me.

Sent in by: Brandon.

A: it's me Tom Beers, bad news I'm afraid, the code for 190,000 exp and the
one beneath it were complete crap, I'm extremely sorry for wasting your time,
but I have added you to my credits for helping me, sorry again.

Q: Are there any differences between difficulty levels? Grant it I haven't
got Extreme yet, but I've played as the elven sorceress and I beat it on easy,
played normal and found no difference, so I started a new hard game and still
haven't found it any more challenging that easy. Want have you found?

Sent in by: Marcus

A: There is not much difference, apart the monsters are a little bit harder
bosses are also a little bit harder, if you were to play easy then hard or
even extreme you would definitely notice a difference.

14. Secrets (14)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The codes work, the unlockables are true and easy item duplication works,
move faster works and control flames works (I checked them), so here they
are:

Codes
-----
At the character choice screen:

hold L, R and press A to play as Drizzt Do'Urden

During gameplay:

L, R, X and right on the d-pad for 190'000 exp, 500 skill points and most
spells and feats.

L, R, Y and left on the d-pad then press start for invulnerability and level
warp.

Unlockables
-----------
Gauntlet mode - defeat the game with anyone on any difficulty

Extreme difficulty - defeat gauntlet mode

Play as Drizzt Do'Urden - defeat extreme difficulty

Easy items duplication
----------------------
To do this you must have two save files on your game, first load your game you
want to put the items into (or start a new game) pause and go to the change
character option, highlight the second player window and import the character
with the good items. Select the saved file you wish to import from then choose
the character from that saved game, the game will reload and both characters
will be in the game then make the character with the good items drop them,
then go back change character screen and delete that character from the game
you are left with your first character and all the good stuff.

Control loading screen
----------------------
move left analog stick to control the flames on the loading screens.

Move faster
-----------
jump every where to make it faster.
