This command is used to advance forward
on the screen. The same command can be also used inside buildings.
Choose your direction with the B Button! When
you select "Go", you can see the directional arrow on the screen. Press
the B Button to choose your way to go. With every single press, your
direction changes. As soon as you're all set, press the A Button to
advance. Don't forget that you can't see an arrow in case you can't go
that way (e.g., in case you're facing a locked door).
Basic Commands - TRAVEL TO
AREA | This command lets you go to other
buildings and locations. Even some remote places can be reached in a
jiffy.
No pain, no gain! You can't use the "Travel to
Area" command to reach a place you don't know about. For example, you
can't leave the town of Giza in the beginning of the game, but after
having collected some gossip around local shops, you'll be able to choose
"The Sphinx" in your Command Menu. (In fact, you might need a certain item
to move). This might be information about a place, local gossip, carvings
on the walls in ruins... So, be sure to check everything
thoroughly.
Basic Commands - EXAMINE
ITEMS | This group includes the "Examine
Items" command to look through your items, and the "Use Item" command to
use them.
You can hold up to 12 items in your inventory at the same
time. Your can hold up to 12 items at the same, including your
items and equipment. As soon as you fill it to the max and don't want an
item at a certain moment of the game, you can sell it at the related shop.
You don't want to trudge through a difficult dungeon for a certain item
just to return to town empty-handed since your inventory is full, and you
can't hold it, do you? So, be sure to sell unnecessary items at the right
time. Just make sure you don't need them anymore.
Basic Command -
LOAD,SAVE | These commands are used to
preserve or restore your game data from the game Disc Card.
Save whenever you think it's necessary! You never know
what traps are awaiting for you in game. So, don't forget to save your
game whenever you feel appropriate. If you save just before battling a
tough enemy, you can restore your game even if you lose the fight! Also,
don't forget to save the game when you want to take a break! Just be
careful since you have only one save slot. In case you save in the middle
of trouble, that's exactly where you will reappear when loading the
game!
This command lets you view your
condition as well as money in possession. HP means your health points.
When this value reaches zero, it's game over. EXP stands for
experience. As soon as you earn enough experience, you raise your Level
and raise your Health. G means gold or your money. You will have only
200G in the beginning of the game. So, don't waste it!
USEFUL HINT Pay attention to your Command Menu
when advancing through the game. The commands like "Turn" or "Attach" are
not available all the time so don't miss those. As soon as you match the
above commands with what you see on the game screen, you'll instantly know
what to do next.
COMBAT! (As soon as you meet an enemy, you're in the
Battle Mode.)
As soon
as you encounter a foe around the town or in the Sand Tower, you enter the
Battle Screen. Here, you can select from the three available commands,
which are "Fight", "Use Item" and "Flee". Let's consider every possible
situation.
This command is used to
defeat a foe with your weapon. In case you meet a strong opponent, you
won't be able to knock it down with a single blow, so you'll have to use
this command several times. As soon as you win a fight, you earn some
experience and money!
You can use some items from your
inventory in battle. It might not be important in a common fight, but it
is of great use when fighting against special enemies.
In
case you meet a powerful adversary on your lower levels, you'd better run
for it. It is also recommended that you flee when you don't have a weapon
equipped or are low on health. There may be a time you're unlucky enough
to get attacked by an enemy and then you can't flee. In case you fail to
escape, you will receive the enemy's attack without a chance to
respond.
TOWN GUIDE (Starting the Game from
Town)
GIZA The game starts in the city of
Giza. Though it's swarming with thieves and its civil order is poor, it
contains many shops which will be vital on your adventure. Your first
priorities should be to prepare your equipment and gather
information.
SHOPS There are
many different shops which can help you in your adventure.
Aunt Amada |
| The woman
known as Aunt Amada manages the inn while taking care of three
rambunctious children. Whenever you're weary from battle, feel free to
take a rest here and recover your HP. Spending the night will restore your
HP to the maximum for your current level. Regardless of how many HP you
need to recover, a night's stay costs 50G. Be sure to keep at least this
much money on you at all times in case of an emergency. Resting here will
also tell you how many EXP you need for your next level.
Muhammad |
| This is the
first place you should visit on your adventures to buy a weapon. Even
though the knife would be the most powerful weapon you can afford then,
it's still better than bare arms. You can also buy a better sword or armor
here as soon as you save on some coins. Muhammad, the owner of this shop,
is an experienced sword dancer and knife enthusiast.

enemies shown below. It is recommended that you fight these foes in the
beginning to earn some starting experience.
Crooked Trader |
Bandit |
Thief |
|
|
|
These foes are rather weak compared to
other two types. But they have tons of money on so be sure to defeat
them! |
These little scoundrels usually loiter
around the town. They might be rather tough opponents in the
beginning of the game. |
This one is basically the boss of the town,
so you're recommended to run in case you meet him when your level is
low. |
HOW TO PLAY
Get your equipment ready when in
town! | As soon as the game starts, you
should head straight to Muhammad's and buy a Knife. Before that, you
should not under any conditions attack enemies even if you encounter them!
Just run away as fast as you can. When barehanded, your chances to win a
fight a close to null. After you've equipped a knife, you should earn some
money and EXP by fighting only Crooked Traders for a while. You are not
advised to fight other opponents since they're way too strong for you
right now.
|
You can level up or collect
information from shopkeepers when roaming around the town. Both activities
are very important. You will easily guess whose and what information is
important. Pay special attention to gossip about various
locations. There's no need to take notes, which is very useful. By
gathering new data, you'll be able to visit more and more new locations.
You can select between five different places to visit; solve the mystery
and there might be one more.
|
When you're around a maze like
the Town, proceed further while drawing a map. Without a map, you
can easily get lost in a dungeon or even on your way to the shop, so
this is serious! It might sound bothersome at first, but when you're
done with the Map, it will be very useful further in the game. Check
the illustration on the right below an as an example.

Game Screen |
Example
Map | For example, see a screenshot with the
Inn above. That place is marked with the ?
sign on the map example.
If you ever get stuck, try
thinking over it once again! | Think
carefully and calmly on what you have seen or done in your way. Is
your Level sufficient enough? Maybe you have forgotten to do
something somewhere? Try using all the commands where and when
available as well as using your items. You will definitely find out
something new. In case you still can't find a solution, try
consulting with your friend.
We wish
you well on your quest!! Well, in case you're this far
in the manual, you're all set for some adventure. From now on, you

way and find the Tear of Isis as soon as possible. You're the only
one who can defeat evil spirits and save the world!!!
