General suggestions A3 Section 4. FAQ A4 Section 5. Monster List A5 Section 1. About the game A1 Ah, what blind optimism can lead to. NEOPHYTE I is the first in a series of games by Alien Software. All three games were Shareware, but just like Aethra Chronicles, the full version was never released. The game is still quite fun, and has many secrets to unlock. However, it is quite "Oldskool". Before you stand a snowball's chance in Haiti of beating an alligator, you need to be level 3 or 4. Healing items and weapons are quite expensive compared to Neophyte 3. To aid in your quest for money, there are several hidden treasure chests across the land. There are just a few weapons to pick from at the beginning, but they are VERY powerful. The game is considerably LESS reliable than Neophyte III, and it crashes every few minutes. The most common crash happens when you die on specific screens, but it has a simple solution-don't die. All in all, it is a noble prequel to one of the few great PC RPGs. Section 2. Commands A2 (From the rulebook) Keyboard F1 - Help Screen F2 - Save F3 - Load S - Toggle Sound M - Toggle Music X - Hold Down to run I - Inventory Ctrl - Attack Alt - Use tool Space - Accept (reads books/signs, talks to townspeople, opens chests) Esc - Menu, Exit Inventory Joystick Button 1 - Tool Button 2 - Inventory Button 3 - Attack/Accept Button 4 - Run Section 3.

DO upgrade your armor & weapons frequently 5. Stay away from the ruins until you're at least level 6 6. There are lots of treasures hidden beneath trees 7. Buy lots of healing items-this is more important than weaponry 8. If you get stuck, level up, then wander to every screen twice 9. Also check the bookshelves and talk to evryone 10. The Well Cave with all the rats is an awesome place to level-up Section 4:The FAQ A4 Q: Where can I find free stuff at the beginning of the game? A: Here are five locations- 1. Your basement 2. A house in the north part of town 3. From the townspeople 4. In a chest under a tree right outside of town 5. In a chest in the valley near the carpenter's house Q: How do I rescue this woman's kitty? A: Buy a candle from the man upstairs in the Potion shop, and jump off the cliff straight south from your house into the well. Navigate the hideous maze, grab some treasure, and exit the cave a richer and with higher levels. Q: This girl has a blob, but I can't attack it. What do I do? A: Save your game, quit, and start up Wandering Hamster to do some plip-squishing. Q: AAAAARGH! The stupid soldiers and orcs kill me EVERY TIME OUT!!! What do I do? A: Level-up to Level 5 or 6, and pack a bunch of potions, THEN take on them(And the ruins) Q: Is there ANY way to make the dungeon easier? A: Level up, and run from any battles you can. Q:Where are the carpenter's tools? A:Check in the hole next to the entrance to the dungeon AFTER you defeat Vatimacio More questions to come when I get them from YOU. Send your questions to me, Chaz5000, at [email protected] Section 5:Monster list A5 (Taken partially from manual, with additional information provided by Chaz5000 in parentheses) Blob: These little purple monsters aren't very dangerous, but can do damage to you if you're not careful(Located right outside town). Slimes: Though somewhat tougher than the blobs, slimes are rarely much of a problem(Located right outside town). Rat: In the early part of you quest, rats may prove to be a nuisance(Located in caves and wells, but not in the overworld). Spider: The spider is quick and packs a venomous bite. Beware!(Located in caves and wells, but not in the overworld Fish: These water-dwelling creatures are usually pretty easy to deal with(Located only in water, primarily water in wells). Giant Snail: It's a good thing these ugly beasts aren't quick. If they hit you, they can do quite a bit of damage(More cavedwellers). Crocodile : Crocs are mean, fast and can bite your head off if you're not careful(Aquatic areas of the overworld, and caves). Orc: Orcs can be quite difficult to kill, especially if you're facing more than one at a time(Ain't that the truth! Near dungeons and dungeons). Horde: Little is known about the awful creatures of the Horde. You'd better be well prepared before you face one of their kind(Yeah, like level 5 or 6. Dungeon dwellers and near dungeons) Thus ends Part 3 of Chaz5000's forgotten RPG FAQ quest, the previous two being Wandering Hamster(http://www.hamsterrepublic.com) and Neophyte III(http://www.aliensoft.com/aliensoft/neika/neika.html).
