4300.0. "SOB II" by AYOV18::GBURNS_YTS () Thu Nov 22 1990 04:16

    			 Shadow of the Beast II
    			 ----------------------
    
    This is a game a got free with my Amiga when I bought it.
    
    The game comes with two disks, the first one presents you with a
    graphic introduction/story the graphics are very good. The game
    itself puts you - a one inch hairy guy with a loin cloth - In search
    of Zelek, who has kidnapped your baby sister and taken her to become
    a servant of Malethoth 'The evil one'. The gameplay involves a side
    on view of your character as he runs about the world killing various
    creatures, gathering objects and getting information. To interact
    with characters you can either ask them about a certain object/place/
    person or offer them a object you are carrying. The graphics in
    the game are 'in my view' very good, but then I'm new to the Amiga.
    The Gameplay is very difficult and can sometimes be frustrating,
    but I feel this makes the game very rewarding after you finish a
    particular area.
    
    Now the problem -
    
    Has anyone got to the area after you rescue the man who says his
    companion has been kidnapped and taken to Ishran. Dwon the left
    tunnel after you kill the guy pushing the spiked stone blocks and
    a couple of other traps, you arrive in the area with the two cages
    (lifts I think) the see-saw, the large rock, and the winch. I have
    been able to use the winch to smash the rock (I pretty sure you
    do this) 'then I assume you try and get the rock back to the see-saw
    However I cant seem to get it over the pit of Acid that is in the
    way. There is a sign that says stand clear next to the pit and I
    take it ther must be a way to bridge it. Any help would be muck
    apprieciated.
    
    P.s I would rate this game 8 out of 10.

    Hi Gary,
    
    I've actually completed this game (with the aid of a cheat- see after
    form feed if you want it).
    
    To get over the little pit, you will need to :
    
    1. 	Ask the fellow that you have rescued about traps. He will say either
    upper or lower switch. Remember what he says.
    
    2.	Go along the passage way to the left and kill the demon that flys 
    past you before he cuts the rope.
    
    3.	Kill the demon who pushes the rock.
    
    4.	Kill the next demon and get the key he drops.
    
    5.  Go along the passage and after the see_saw you will see a rope.
    	Climb up it. Use the key on the door at the top.
    
    6.	Walk along the bridge and hit the lever which the man told you
    	about in point 1. Be very careful not to hit the other lever.
    
    7.	Get in lift. You will be lifted up.
    
    8.  Walk to the right. Jump over the gap with the rope. Be very
    	careful not to fall down the hole. Keep walking all the way to the 
    	right and you will see a silver key. Pick it up.
    
    9. 	Walk left. Climb up the first (I think from memory) rope and jump
    	right into a hidden cavity. Collect bonus.
    
    10.	Jump down and go left. Get to where point 8 is (the rope over the 
    	hole with the sleeping demon and caged beast). Climb down rope.
    	Be very,very careful, you must not wake the demon. When you are as
    	low as you can get on the rope without falling off, jump left. This
    	is quite difficult and took me ages to master. When you are on the
    	floor, use the key to release the beast. The demon will be
    	frightened off. Very quickly, hit the LOWER lever to your right and
    	then jump back up the rope (Pressing this lever puts a bridge over
    	the little pit that you are having difficulty with).
    
    11.	Go back to the lift and press down on your joystick. 
        
    12. You will then be able to manipulate and smash the rock as you
    	described in .0. Push it onto the see-saw. Climb up 1st rope and
    	jump onto the other side of the see saw. The rock will fly through
    	the air and land in a lift.
    
    13.	Very quickly, walk left and stand in the lift that is on the floor.
    	It will lift you up and you will do battle with the dragon.
    
    14.	Rescue the prisoner and he will tell you a password. Remeber it, as
    	you will need this when you speak to ISHRAN.
    
    Anyway, that's enuff to keep you going.

    CNTRL-Y if you don't wan't to see the cheat
    
    
    
    When you start this game, walk to the right until you see a pygmy. When
    he speaks to you (& before he trys to kill you) ask him about 
    TEN PINTS.
    ie type 
    A <cr>
    TEN PINTS
                    
4300.2No CheatAYOV18::GBURNS_YTSGod made it easy on meFri Nov 23 1990 04:265
    Great,
          Thanks a lot, but I will not use the cheat, I'm quite determined
    to finish the game on my own.
    
    Gary.
4300.3Even bigger cheat...FILTON::FENTON_RPotassium Ethoxide Rules C2H5OOKWed Nov 28 1990 08:315
    There's a complete solution in (I think the November issue) of Amiga
    Format.

4300.4Help neededCADSYS::MURATORIRich Muratori, SEG/CAD, HLO2Wed Nov 28 1990 12:3312
My son and I are stuck and need a hint:

<possible spoiler info>

We have obtained the parchment, the shell/horn, and the urn (?).
The old man says he needs his stolen ring in order to use the parchment
to perform magic.  Where do we get the ring?  We've run out of areas
to explore.  Also, we haven't gotten past the locked door in the oasis. 
Is this possible?

    Buy one of last months mag's, I think both ZERO and CU AMIGA had
    complete solutions for this game. If you can't get a hold of the mag's
    then give me a shout and I'll Fax the solutions to you.

4300.7PygmyGLDOA::LAETZTue Nov 12 1991 14:218
    Can anyone fill me in on where the Pygmy is (and what it looks like). 
    I would like to do the cheat, but have no idea where the Pygmy is!
    
    Thanks for any assistance you can provide.
    
    Thank you.
