TIPS ....

WALLS OF ILLUSION IS NOT SO EASY - EXAMINE WALLS IN FRONT OF YOU WHEN YOU
HEAR SUDDEN NOISES!

SEARCH AFTER EACH VICTORY AND IN FRONT OF A DOOR WHEN YOU DONT KNOW WHAT'S
WAITING FOR YOU BEHIND IT.

THE PLACE IN THE GAME IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SEEMS OVERWHELMING .....
BUT THERE IS ALWAYS A WAY OR AN ASSIGNED TACTIC WHICH EXPERIENCE BRINGS.

IF THE ENEMIES ARE VERY STRONG AND HARD TO OVERCOME SAVE YOUR STRENGTH AND
HAVE MAGIC SPELLS READY.
