722.0. "CHAOS STRIKES BACK" by CURRNT::BADMAN (Ice cubes: square yet cool!) Tue Jan 02 1990 05:13

    I've finally got my hands on a copy of CHAOS STRIKES BACK - the
    sequel to DUNGEONMASTER !!!
    
    It's brilliant !!! (But then you could have guessed that yourselves!!!
    
    There are new creatures and re-designed existing ones and from the
    word GO you're neck deep in deep smelly brown stuff !!!
    
    The dungeon changes as well !!! From one game to the next, a path
    can lead to quite different sections of the dungeon !!!
    
    Luckily though there's a hint utility (I get the feeling I'll need
    it !!!).
    
    I've not yet found ONE secret button, though I've come across loads
    of really clever traps ...
    
    It's going to be a LONG month ...

    There are a few secret buttons hidden (arn't they always??) around.
    I think I've nearly finished, I will know in the next few nights.

    How long has it been out for then ???!!! It came out last week here
    (England).
    
    I found a bug in it; are there many ? The system bombed when I tried
    to climb down a pit just past the "Give up; pull the lever" wall
    just as some creatures were about to pulp me ...

722.3I got mapsKAOFS::H_SWAFFIELDAll is not lost, just misplacedThu Feb 22 1990 08:599
    Well, I finally got Chaos Strikes back, and, I also got ahold of some
    maps for it.. I anyone would like, I could upload the maps into my
    directory, in an ARC format, and you could copy them. They are not
    totally complete, from what I understand, but, as the guy said, I'ts
    better than nothing... I got them from Compuserve.

722.4Sleepless nightsBREW11::LOXTONThu Feb 22 1990 10:5511
    I just got Chaos Strikes Back.
    
    It's was worth buying an ST just to play Dungeon Master and Chaos looks
    even better.
    
    	But much harder!!! 
    
    Re -1 
    I had the maps quite early into Dungeon Master,and I feel they spoiled
    the game a little.I'll try Chaos without (but please don't delete
    them just yet)
722.5Gimme mapsSAC::OKEEFE_NOne wheel's enough...Fri Feb 23 1990 10:259
For those of us too busy getting annihalated to map, can you give us a pointer
to the maps. I've got a lot of pieces of paper with scrawlings on them, but I'm
really not sure about their accuracy given the enormous amount of wierdness going
on in the new dungeon. Any corroborative evidence would be a great help.

Thanks in advance.

Neil.

722.6You want maps? Drop me a line.KAOFS::H_SWAFFIELDAll is not lost, just misplacedFri Feb 23 1990 12:1619
    My previous note regarding the maps, was a bit say, hasty. I do have
    the maps, and finally got down to actually playing Chaos last night
    using them. Unfortunatly, they are not complete, (as previously stated)
    and, I had some trouble using them. Level 2 seems to be complete, but
    level 1 and level 3 seem to be missing some areas. I was up untill 2:00
    this A.M. playing, and ran into the Dragon on LIII. I couldn't defeat
    him, so, I went to bed, and drempt Dungeon Master for the rest of the
    night. I can upload the maps I have, maybe somebody else can make some
    sense of them. 
    	They are drawn in Degas, maybe elite? I'm not sure, I don't have
    the Elite version of Degas. I am currently in the process of drawing my
    own set  of maps, and if I do it in a reasonable time frame, I will
    upload that. If you want the present maps, write me a email at the
    above node address, and I will upload into my account here, and make
    them available..

722.7Chaos HintsUBOHUB::SHELDON_RWhaaaaat Is That??????Mon Mar 19 1990 09:5810
    
    In the March edition of ST Action there is a 2 page hint section
    on Chaos Strikes Back. It gives details of people trapped in the
    prison such as strentgh, stamina and mana. It also gives details
    on the various "nasties" down there as well as a list of spells
    and what they do. I can't think of anything else. If you want a
    copy of these hints then send a mail to Robert Sheldon @UBO and
    I will send you a photocopy.
    
    Robert.

    	I finished the game a while back, so if anyone needs hints let me
    know.   
722.9Trouble with knightsWELSWS::WICKHAMWed Mar 21 1990 02:1913
    	Thanks for the offer in .8. 
    
    	The knights with two swords are causing my group death. I have
    	tried fighting them with weapons while zapping them with spells
    	from the back row. They do not fall down! After a while I hear
    	the cry of the crow in the distance and its time to reload a
    	saved game. Worse, the knights seem to seek my group out
    	- usually in a DEAD-END.
    
    	Have you got maps?
    
    	I like the game but my group seem as impotent as a baby hobbit
    	when confronted by the Nazghul.
722.10CLO::HERSHBERGERWed Mar 21 1990 09:5812
    	I have maps, but only on graph paper. Mapping was very hard, much
    harder then D.M.
    	Some knight info follows:
    
    	Fireballs are of little or no use against knights, only weapons
    seem to work.  They are not real fast, so if you can catch them in a
    four step area you can keep hitting them, then move.  They have very
    high hit points.   All my characters were at least first level masters
    in all four classes.  Made monster bashing a little easier.  I thought
    I read somewhere that the dispel spell works on knights but never
    tried it.  Good luck.

722.11Not so....BIOMIC::LANED��d ߥ D�wn...�vi� D��d IIThu Mar 22 1990 06:503
    I have killed knights using fireballs only, but it does take a lot of
    them. I had to do this after I fell into the "Surrender Your
    Possesions" pit, and didn't have any weapons.
722.12Doors Doors give me doorsOPG::CHRISCapacity! What Capacity ?Thu Mar 22 1990 07:306
    
    What I used to do in DM was to get behind a door and open it a fire
    with everything I had then close the door, rest, then have another go.
    Seemed to work.

722.13SIEVAX::JAMIEUse me, Use me... OOPS excuse me!Thu May 10 1990 06:348
I read in a magazine recently that there are secret doors to be found
in the hall of champions. Going down the revealed staircases, you find
some more mirrors; those containing the REAL heroes!

722.14Dragon Killer (Maybe!)UBOHUB::SHELDON_RWhat A Marvellous Delivery!Fri May 11 1990 10:3514
    
    
    I read in a magazine that to defeat a dragon cast the spell MON
    ZO GOR SAR. Then freeze the game by pressing the ESC key. Holding
    down the ALT key type in LORD LIBRASULUS SMITES THEE DOWN. If this
    works you should kill the dragon and it will leave behind several
    dragon steaks and the Firestaff so your party will become invincible
    and you can win the game. I tried it but the message said that the
    spell was meaningless perhaps you may have better luck.
    
    Robert.
    
    P.S. Swaff-) if you read this can you send me your full address
    so I can send you the Chaos hints again.
722.15P.S.UBOHUB::SHELDON_RWhat A Marvellous Delivery!Fri May 11 1990 10:376
    
    
    Just a quick addendum to my last message, yuor party must be stood
    IN FRONT of the dragon.
    
    Robert.
722.16Chaos EditorBOOZER::LOXTONTue Jun 12 1990 10:466
    	In the July edition of ST Format there is a Chaos Strikes Back
    editor.
    	You can view or print the maps,open/close all doors or edit
    the dungeon,using your save game.

722.17New, and needs help badly!DTIF::BRAMHALLWes Bramhall (age 14)Sun Oct 06 1991 20:3511
    I got this game about a year ago but have had almost zilch success with
    it.  In the priest section, how do you get by all the pits and the
    "Diabolical Deamon Director" place?!  
    
    Help with the wizard section?!??
    By the way, how the heck do you open the door to the REAL prisoners??!?
    
    Please, I need help badly!
    
    Tanks in advance
    Wes
722.18I sorta got it, but now there's anotherDTIF::BRAMHALLWes Bramhall (age 14)Mon Oct 07 1991 20:117
    It's me again. I went in again and the door was open! I don't know how
    it happened but it did.
    
    Is "LOR CHAMPION OF GOOD" the only super prisoner, or are there many
    more. (PLEASE!!!)
