  Subj: LORD II Hints

OK, gang, here are some hints to get all you newbies started in LORD II.
 
                          **** Stonebrook ****
 
Take $5 from the table and talk to Mom.
Go outside to the right of the screen and press against the berry patch.
Go to town and buy 3 jugs of milk.
Go home and give the berries and 1 milk to Mom for a pie.
Go south of Stonebrook and talk to Turgon in his house.
Press on his left wall, follow the path to get a coat (use as armor).
[{exit turgons house}]
Go 1 screen right and press against the bottom of the tree grove.
  (Find a chest with $25)
[{on some bbs' this screen is replaced by the Faerie Glade IGM }]
Go to town and buy a dagger (use as weapon).
[{also buy some milk & berries,and get momas pie}]
Go S.W. of town and talk to the old woman.
[{add milk,and berries and mama pie and chicken eggs to the stew}]
Keep tasting stew. (+5 HP)
[{after adding the milk,etc to the stew taste the stew and you'll get +5hp}]
Ask the old woman about Hector.
Go south and enter the Condemned Cave. Go up a few paces and just move
  back and forth to fight bats until you have at least $100.
Go to town, sell the dagger and buy a short sword.
Go west of town and push against a purple tree to get to Jack's Resturant.
[{this is on NEB's road}]
Sit at a table and order a whole Gloworm; Put it in your pocket.
[{bump a chair at a table on the east side of the resterant, NOT a booth}]
Go to the  Condemned Cave and bite into the Gloworm.
Follow path past snakes (CAREFUL!) to next screen at the top.
Press against the 3 objects (Hector, Flute, $35).

[{for those who want to be GOOD}]:
Go outside and LET HECTOR GO! (+20 Quest Points - You'll need them!)

[{for those who want to be EVIL}]:
{Give HECTOR BACK to the Witch for +2 Muscle}

Get berries and 1 milk for Mom, and give a pie to Turgon.
Fight until you have $100 again (sell eggs at the Pawnshop).
At the Pawnshop, buy some Green Potions to heal yourself when needed.
 
**********************************************************************
 
                         **** Greentree ****
 
Check Game Setting.
 
If in Clean Mode :
 
  Fight on Nebs Road until you have about $500 or more.
  Go pay Neb $50 to get past (you can kick his butt later).
  Buy a better armor/weapon and sell the old at the Pawnshop.
  Then go kick Neb's but, and go train for level raises.
  NEVER RUN while training!!!
 
If NOT in Clean Mode :
  Get a room at Ma' Boarding House and talk to Elle upstairs.
  Go downstairs and talk to Ma from across the counter.
  Take her letter (DON'T READ IT!) to the Cabin S.W. of Greentree.
  RUN from EVERYONE in-between!!  They'll toast ya!
  Return to Ma with Laura and Edward (+$2000 and +10 Quest Points)
  Buy better a armor/weapon and train for level raises.
  IMPORTANT!  NEVER RUN while training!  It's Just as bad as losing!
 
Fight around Greentree until you get $500.
Go North to Port Town and buy a fishing pole from the House `O Fish.
Go South to the dock and go fishing. (Do that EVERY day!).
Sell your fish for $$$ and buy better armor/weapons as you go.
Just before buying new armor/weapon, sell the old at the Pawnshop.
 
At the top right of Greentree, you'll find 3 buildings.
In the one at the right, talk to the lady, and search the bathroom.

  (You'll find the Travel Pass - used to get past the Snowy Pass).
[{^^WRONG! its a PASS for the LODGE Northeast of Greentree}]
[{find the Mountin Amulet by buying a room at the Lodge}]
[{and look Under EVERY bed until you find the Amulet}]
[{This will give you a shortcut thru the Snowy Pass}]

In the center one, pick the lock annd search the chests.
  (Try every day..you'll find Barak's Diary eventually)
[{you need 17+ quests to pick the lock}]
Take Barak's Diary to Turgon to Clear his Name (+30 Quest Points).
 
At level 2+, you may start a Quest by "Conducting Business".
  Begin with The Innkeeper and only accept a Quest to Port Town.
  As you get stronger, you can take Quests to farther places.
  Quests are important, as they give you $ and random rewards:
  +1 Gem/+3 HP/+1 Dodge/+1 Charm/+2 Strength, etc.
  To get these bonuses, you MUST complete the Quest the SAME DAY!
 
At this point, it's just a matter of fighting and exploring.
Try not to go too far too fast...Take your time and make it last!

I hope these beginning hints answer most of the basic questions.
It would help if every SysOp marked this message as Permanant!!!
 
Have FUN and ENJOY!!!
