FIDICEN Written by A. D. Williams (Xenon Software) Walk Through by Dorothy Millard (C64 Version) Notes 1. Food is scattered around randomly. When you see some just GET FOOD. This should be eaten as required to keep your strength up, also it can be given to other characters to increase your score (see note 9). It is advisable to keep your strength above 30 and don't fight if it is below this level. 2. You will randomly meet the thief fairly early on in the game. When you do KILL THIEF (you should win but he will only hang around if you are carrying something he wants). Killing the thief adds to your score and prevents him taking things. The thief will only appear once, so if you haven't anything he wants you will miss the opportunity for additional points. 3. When you meet the thug who appears randomly, KILL THUG to add to your score. If you strength is low leave the location immediately. 4. Red herrings - brick and rock. 5. Avoid the creature. 6. When you meet the friendly wandering wizard who appears randomly, SPEAK TO WIZARD and he will tell you to keep away from evil wizards. 7. The chest and the ring are placed randomly. When you find the ring GET RING, WEAR RING (it sticks to your finger and you can never remove it, but your energy will now never sink below 30%). 8. When you fight you will randomly see a dusty skeleton, a shiny skeleton or a decomposing body. 9. Give items to characters in the game to increase your score by two points. Food will do. You can give the same character more than one item. 10. If your strength is getting low and you haven't any food handy visit the blue tower, which will restore your strength to 100% or SMOKE PIPE if you have it. The pipe can be smoked as many times as necessary.
