My trouble is that i get black screen and the game freezes even before i get started. I chose charadter and when the king tells me to meet him in the palace this is where the game freezes. Anyone knows what to do? ...anyone

Ahoj,
didn't help
I ran setup in dosbox, chose Soudblaster Pro and in Dosbox started the game. The only change there was that I could see a flash of the next screen (guards B4 the castle, I guess).
What did I do wrong?

Download the CD version (with full speech) from here, and see if that helps eventually.

Thanx guys!!! I'm in the game now! Kinda sleepy at work today as I played almost till morning

I seem to have gotten myself into a dead-end situation. I'm in the Urbish Mines, I've dropped down a pit into a tiny L-shaped room with a pressure pad. Putting an object on the pad opens two pits, and when I drop down either I end up in a room full of flying snakes which I can't possibly defeat. There seems to be no way out of or back up from the L-shaped room

Also, I can't find Paulson, so I'm still in a party of two. I read that he's supposed to be around the Mines somewhere but I haven't seen him at all. I hope I'm not going to have to restart!

Well,you have to defeat the flyng snakes but without Paulson is pretty impossibile.

Maybe this guide will help:

I actually did the same thing on my first ever real game. (After just poking about and not understanding the game - I was 9 at the time). From this I learned the very valuable information of always having multiple savegames. Anyways, it's been a year since I played this game, but I think I recall the following about the room.

1. You're not supposed to have paulson at this point - and yes, it is very possible to complete.

2. The snakes will appear out of 'holes in the wall', (you will notice this by a different graphic than the average stonewalls in the mines). Obviously if you stand next to theese holes, nothing can spawn. So stand here and fight them all of, then try to sleep.

3. You can change difficulty settings mid-game, in options. Enemies are set to Normal by default, but you can change this to Easy/Wimpy or whatever it is called.

4. The "Freeze" spell is very usefull in this room, if you got the MP to use it. Since it might kill off as much as 4 of them at the ti

5. You can always try running. Although I am not sure how easy this is, but there should be a lever on one of the walls. Get a mappack to find out which. Beware though that there are 1 or two of the walking fireplaces (That's what I called them when I was 10) - whatever the stone-thingys that drop the bloodstone are really called.


That's my tips for the day, it should be totally possible, but if your characters are not trained enough, yes this can be hard. Hope you manage to fight through though =)
