I. Introduction

I.A. Walkthrough/FAQ Introduction
As I was replaying Swords and Serpents one day, I came to a point in the
game that I had forgotten how to get past. So I did what many gamers do today
and looked online for a walkthrough. Much to my annoyance I found only one,
and that one was only 25% complete! So I did what any hardcore gamer would
do and set about righting this wrong.
This walkthrough in its current form will take you through the game step-
by-step. This guide is not complete (although close), however, as there is
much information which I would like to have added but lack the vigor. Such
additions entail a more detailed beastiary, specific spell damage, hit
percentage determination, etc. etc.
If you have any information not found here and would like to add to this
guide, I do accept contributions. All you have to do is go to section
XI.A. to see how!

I.B. The Quest
Your objective is clear, your friends are gathered, and a dungeon lies
before you. You must travel far underground to slay the dragon! Whether your
party can survive and triumph or fail and perish will take luck, skill, and
knowledge. Collect the Ruby treasures of the fallen Ruby warrior and complete
your destiny!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
II. Characters

II.A. Magician

Starting Equipment: Staff, Leather
Primary Attribute: Intelligence
Summary: Although physically weak, this class is one of the most useful as
they possess the ability to cast spells. The game is argueably
impossible to complete without at least one magician in the party.
Level Up Bonuses: +1 to either Str, Int, or Agl; +1-2 HP; +1-3 MP

II.B. Warrior

Starting Equipment: Sword, Leather
Primary Attribute: Strength
Summary: This brute force class combines the ability to inflict a large
amount of damage with having a high HP maximum.
Level Up Bonuses: +1 to either Str, Int, or Agl; +2-4 HP

II.C. Thief

Starting Equipment: Dagger, Leather
Primary Attribute: Agility
Summary: A nimble class which has a medium HP range. The thief has an
unusual propensity to inflict a death blow on an enemy.
Level Up Bonuses: +1 to either Str, Int, or Agl; +1-3 HP

II.D. Pre-made Party

This is the party created if you select "Use Existing Party" when starting
a new game. It is a well-rounded, medium-strength party. A custom party can
have much better stats though.

Class Str Int Agl HP MP
Iago Magician 9 13 12 10 13
Mask Thief 11 9 13 10 -
Ajax Warrior 14 10 11 10 -
Erin Magician 8 14 11 10 15

II.E. Attributes

Strength (Str): The ability to inflict a greater amount of physical damage.
(Max Value: 20)

Intelligence (Int): Determines magicians initial max MP. Allows the character
to act wisely in battle thus determines efficiency (how
many turns to act before enemies and how quickly when
combined with Agility). (Max Value: 20)

Agility (Agl): Determines queue of attack when combined with Intelligence and
likelyhood of hitting enemy. (Max Value: 20)

Hit Points (HP): The amount of damage that one can take before dying.
(Max Value: 31)

Magic Points (MP): The amount of energy available to cast spells. (Max
Value: 31)

II.F. Experience Requirements per Level

Level 1 to 2: 100 exp
Level 2 to 3: 200 exp
Level 3 to 4: 400 exp
Level 4 to 5: 800 exp
Level 5 to 6: 1,600 exp
Level 6 to 7: 3,200 exp
Level 7 to 8 thru 15 to 16: 6,400 exp

Note: When you gain a level your experience points return to 0. Using a
password to restore a game also resets your experience to 0.
Level 16 is the max.

m. "Several men ahead are standing guard."
n. Enemy - 6 Bandits
p. Teleporter to Lv6:
q. Stairs down to Lv2

§1. Your party will mysteriously be plopped down in A11. Your first objective
is very simple - reach the temple without dying. If the party dies,
either your party stinks, you have bad luck, or you over-extended
yourself.
§2. Stick around the temple to heal after a few battles. When you are strong
enough (confidence or level) visit the armory.
§3. Save up and buy better weapons first so that battles are finished more
quickly - remember that the best defense is a good offense.
§4. Pick up Sting at O15.
§5. Once you are equipped, head for the stairs. You will have to defeat
several guards before you can go down to level 2. Be sure to save the
game especially if you are below level 3.
§6. The enemies on level 2 are harder but the experience is much better. If
you only need gold, you can stay on level 1 as they give the same amount.

p. Enemy - 1
q. Ruby Glasses

§1. As always, stay close to the stairs to get a feel for the monster
difficulty. There are no refilling places in the level so keep an eye
on your magic points.
§2. Head to L3 to get a Plus 1 Sword. While it may not be as good as the
best sword
you can buy at the armory, you won't have to save up 750 gold.
§3. Get up to A1 to get Shield. If you can spare the MP, always cast it to
avoid being damaged. It only costs 1 MP and most likely will save you MP
in not having to cast as many Heals.
§4. If you do need to get back to level 1 quickly, take either the zoom tube
(C16) or teleporter (F8).
§5. Head to the stairs. You will have to fight 5 Goblins, so again be prepared
and save it. By this time you're party should probably be level 5.

q. Gold Key

§1. As you travel beware the Mages. There is a Magic Fountain but only after
traveling through the entire level. Use the zoom tube to get back to the
temple quickly. Don't worry, any switches activated will remain activated
when you leave the level.
§2. Follow the hall to the H8-H9 door. This is the only unlocked door in the
room. The rest shall be opened by switches.
§3. Head to the northwest room, pick up the spell, and unlock door I8-I9.
§4. Now go to the southeast room. It is a long spiral hall so be prepared
before trying to get to the switch.
§5. When you come to the deadend, pass through the secret wall to the north
for the switch. Now head back through the halls and go to the northeast
room.
§6. Travel north along the wall for a safe, short path to the stairs. Heal
your party to max HP because you will have to walk past the fountain to
reach the stairs.
§7. Before going down, pass into the secret room just north of the fountain.
When you later find yourself back in the area of level 2, use the Gold
Key on the locked door (Lv2:N15-O15) to obtain the Ruby Glasses. You can
then discard the Gold Key.

roll over after a level up!

one of them can be entered backward to go onward. You'll want to go down

§1. This is the most difficult level thus far. You must get the Ruby Necklace
by fighting at least 6 groups of 7 enemies. Make sure you conserve MP.
§2. First, go to N9 and Passwall east.
§3. Fight the enemies and then Passwall south. Repeat this several times until
you get to the amulet.
§4. If you get winded, the only easy way out of this section is by Passwall
G8-F8. It is a one-way Passwall, so only do this if you're spent.
§5. Always keep an eye on your MP so you don't have to Last Resort.
§6. Once you get the amulet, a few of the enemies will have come back to
block your way out.
§7. There are actually two ways out of this section but the second is very
difficult to reach, but on your way you'll pick up a Mage Staff.
§8. Passwall north from J16 to J10, east to N10, and then south for a total
of 10 battles with 7 enemies each.
§9. Now you have to make your way to Lv10 assuming you have all the Ruby
treasures by taking a zoom tube.
§10. Talk with the man at Lv10:L3 and he will transport you to Lv14:A1.

lightly. Try to avoid fights at this point in the game.
§2. Level 14 and level 15 are somewhat combined as there are many stairs
connecting the two. It is easiest to ignore most of the stairs and Passwall
where you need to go.
§3. Note there is only one relief on 14 and that is the Magic Foutain at H7.
§4. To get the Phalanx spell, go to A4, don't take the stairs, and Passwall
south. Now just Passwall B6-B7 to get into the spell room.
§5. If you need to get back to Lv10, take stairs A4 down and Passwall Lv15:
A5-B5 or get to Lv15:O15 for a zoom tube.
§6. If you want to keep going, go down the stairs at M3.

§1. If you have collected all the green Victory clues and place them in the
order in which level they are, you should have a map to get to the dragon.
§2. Otherwise, there is nothing to do in the level except get killed.
§3. The following is the summary of these directions.
§4. It is best at this point in the game to just run away from the wandering
monsters to save magic for the dragon.
§5. Go to B14 where you will be told that Victory lies here. To avoid two
traps cast Flight before continuing.
§6. Passwall north and turn west.
§7. Take two steps west and backup one space to activate the teleporter at A13.
You will end up at E12.
§8. Going west, Passwall twice and turn north.
§9. Go north and east to K5. Turn south.
§10. Passwall, go south one step, and turn west.
§11. Passwall again and take the corridor to the center of the level.
§12. Defeat the dragon. This is actually quite easy as it is only one enemy.
I have defeated the dragon as low as level 12 so a better equipped party
should have no problem.
§13. If you do need help, simply cast Deadeye, Strength, and Major Heal with
magicians while whacking away with the rest of the crew.
§14. The screen will shake and you get the credits upon the dragon's defeat.
Congratulations!

IX. Secrets/Hints/Tactics

*From the instruction book:

*Your first goal should be to get better arms and armor, while
increasing your experience levels.

*It gets harder to go up an experience level as your characters get
stronger, so you will have to go deeper into the dungeon, as the
monsters on lower levels give you more experience points if you vanquish
them.

*If faced by too strong a foe, don't be afraid to run. Discretion is a
better part of valor.

*If you find yourself low on health or spell points, don't hesitate to
head for a temple, before its too late.

*Magician: Heal Thyself.

*Once you make it to level five, you can use the shop and temple there
as a base for deeper exploration.

*Try to explore a level completely. By looking at the map display, you
can get an idea of where secret doors and rooms may be.

*If you're totally stuck and 100% sure that there's absolutely no way
out, select LAST RESORT from the ATTRIBUTES/INVENTORIES menu.

*The most balanced team is a warrior, thief, and two magicians.

§Tapping the attack button will often let you attack between monster attacks. If
you simply wait for your turn, they get more attacks!

§Experiment with attacking different parts of enemies. For example, Zombies
are very weak to head attacks.

§Keep at least one space open in each character's inventory in case an enemy
would have an item. You won't get anything if you have no room!

X. FAQ

Q1. How do I find ... or get to ...?
A1. This is a walkthrough. Either read up until the point where you're stuck
or do a word find.

Q2. Why does my party keep dying?
A2. You should try leveling up. Even though the bonuses are small, they do make
a difference. Also, the more monsters you fight, the better the chance to
get better weapons/armor. And simply know your limits in your distance from
base.

Q3. I have a high AC so why are the enemies still taking a ton off me?
A3. Your AC is best described by your ability to avoid an attack. It really
doesn't reflect how much damage is dealt. Damage is simply a "roll" after
it is determined that you were hit. You might notice that even with an AC
of 16, Lv1 monsters can still hit you for the same 4 HP as when you had
an AC of 2. They just won't hit as often.

Q4. Can I e-mail you with questions/help/ideas?
A4. I will not lie and say that every e-mail will be replied to. This may be
that you asked a stupid question that has been answered or I have deemed
the current version the last and therefore history. Of course, any great
and unique contribution will be added and credited whether be it an FAQ
or game data.
