Hints, Secrets & Cheats

Location: Blackshire Sub-location: Temple of Snake In the Temple of Snake, kill the golden dragon and jump down into the room guarded by it. Press the button to open the passage and defeat the medusas in the three rooms. Be careful, as the heroes will face overwhelming enemy forces, but if they lure the medusas out and deal with them one by one, they won't encounter any major difficulties. Explore the wall near the southeastern corner of the room, where there were many monsters (the northeasternmost room). A narrow passage will open; follow it and meet the previously unseen enemy Q, who outwardly resembles a monk (in reality, Q is a character from the science fiction series Star Trek, similar to Lorien (the First) from "Babylon 5"). He fights with a club, often uses Finger of Death, and, most annoyingly, is remarkably resilient. Q's only weakness is his slowness. Attack him in melee combat, striking quickly, and standing close (so you don't miss), use combat magic. There is another option: position yourself so that Q is half-hidden behind the corner of the wall (he never leaves his niche). Then his spells will hit the wall and won't reach you. Your magic, however, won't reach him either, but some arrows will, and if you move closer to the corner of the wall, you can attack Q with all members of your group (using melee weapons). After the enemy's untimely demise, search his body to find the Horn of Ros. This item is a dragon horn that allows you to accurately determine the amount of health of any creature, in numerical form. The first chest contains three books with spells you already know, but the contents of the second chest are more interesting: five staves containing powerful magic.
