and 10 wisdom for Hobbit.

fights. Adds 15 to strength.

Starting the game:

When you select play for the first time, you are transported to North America 
near the great lakes. Its 1423 BC and you are naked and weaponless. Fortunately 
you are not penniless. Head west across the bering strait land bridge and then 
southwest to where Rome will eventually stand. Towne Linda is there now, and you 
can buy weapons and armor.

You should probably buy an Axe and Chain Mail armor. Anything more may be beyond 
you abilities. Wield and equip them and then head back outdoors.

Now you need to kill some monsters. Use the P key to pass turns while waiting 
for them to show up since it uses no food. Pretty soon the time gates will start 
going. You can step through them if you want, but you're really not ready yet. 
However you will want to use the time gates to get to Lord British's castle if 
you run low on hit points since you don't have a frigate yet. Use the closest 
time gate northeast of Towne Linda to get there.

You need to kill some thieves as that is how you get special items. In 
particular you want Blue Tassels since these let you command a frigate. Once you 
have them, wait for a frigate to appear, and then instead of killing it, endure 
the blasts, board it, move away, and then kill the second frigate. Now that 
you've got a frigate you can kill monsters by firing with the cannons, and you 
don't use up food!

From this point until you are much more powerful, the game boils down to killing 
monsters, collecting items, frigates, planes, and other similar tasks.
Main Game Play:

Basicly, fight, kill, and have fun. Things to do include:

Food -- Keep well stocked on food. If you hit zero food you will die. Food can 
be purchased at any town or village.

Hit Points -- Visit Lord British in his castle on the British Isles in either BC 
or AD. (Hes a long lived SOB, eh?) Talk to him and he'll accept a 50 gold 
tribute in exchange for Hit Points. Initially he'll give you 300 HP for the 
gold, but that falls off after a while.

Negate Time -- Useful when you're up against a very powerful monster. You'll 
need a strange coin to do it... And each time negation uses up one strange coin.

View -- See the whole land. Uses a magic helm.

Frigates -- When you have blue tassles and there is a pirate ship nearby, you 
can board it and sail off. After you move a couple spaces in your new frigate, 
the pirates will successfully procure a new ship and pursue you. You can Xit 
your current boat and board the new pirate ship as well! You can continue this 
until you have as many frigates as you desire. Then simply turn your cannons on 
the pirate ship and send them all to Neptune.

Hotel California -- Once you're enough hit points, food, and gold that you're 
statisfied with your situation, its time to visit the Hotel California in New 
SanAntonio (AD 1990). Offer the cleark there some gold and he'll raise your 
abilities, saying "Alakazam!"

Aierial Transportation -- A single prop plane can be had from New Antonio (AD 
1990) or from the single dwelling left alive in the Aftermath. Unlock the doors, 
walk in, and board the plane. Kill people who get in your way, as neccesary. 
You'll need both a skull key and a brass button to board and pilot a plane.

Keys -- To get past doors you need keys. Skull keys from the theives just won't 
cut it. You need real keys. There is only one way to get keys. Kill a guard. 
You'll get two keys for each guard you kill. Fortunately once you have a couple 
keys, you can go to the village in AD 1990 or the village in Aftermath, take a 
frigate, and blast guards with cannons to get more keys.

The Quicksword -- Santre the Swashbuckler has been imprisoned in New SanAntonio 
in AD 1990. He's in possession of the quicksword, Enilo. If you offer him 500 
gold, he can be persuaded to give it to you. This is good, since only the 
quicksword will harm Minax. You'll have to be rather agile before you can wield 
it though.

The Ring -- Minax's castle is a vicious place. Just to survive you will need the 
Ring to protect you from the force fields. Who has it? An old man under atree in 
New SanAntonio. He'll give it to you for 900 gold, but only with Father Antos' 
blessing.

Blessing -- Getting Father Antos' blessing is not hard. Just talk to him. 
Finding Father Antos is the difficult part. He's hanging out on uncharted Planet 
X. Launch a space ship from the red square in the Aftermath. Make sure you're 
wearing Power armor first. Hyper to coordinates 999 and land your rocket. (On 
grass. Anything else is death.)

On Planet X there is a single castle. Father Antos can be found there in the 
left hand area past a maze. Talk to him and get his blessing. Then head back to 
eart at coordinates 666. Make sure you have plenty of Tri-Lithiums for the trip! 
You wouldn't want to get stuck in space.
Winning the Game:

Once you have the Ring, the Quicksword, 9900+ Hit points and power armor, its 
time to kill a sorceress. Head to the Evil Castle right smack in the middle of 
the Time of Legends.

Head for the northeast corner of the castle. Don't attack the monsters, negate 
time to get past them. In the northeast corner of the castle, attack Minax. One 
hit! That was anticlimactic. No, wait, shes teleported to the the chamber in the 
southwest corner of the castle. Head there and attack again. Keep switching 
between the two until she dies.

Congratualtions! Thou hast defeaten Ultima II: The Revenge of the Enchantress.
