If you are a webmaster and wish to post this on your web page, please email
me first.  And if you do post this FAQ on your site, please make an attempt
to keep it up to date.  There is nothing worse than getting emails from
people who saw an old version asking about things that are already in the
newer versions.  Well, maybe there are worse things, but it IS annoying!

A true walkthrough of Dungeon Hack is by far impossible because of the fact
that no two games are the same.  However, it is possible to list all the
enemies, and the types of level situations that you will run into.

This document looks best in Courier New at 9 points.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. The Basics
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Character Creation:
-------------------
  You probably don't want to go into a Dungeon as a straight class of anything.
  Why?  Because you need both fighting skills and spells!  You're best bet is
  probably either a Fighter/Cleric or a Fighter/Mage/Cleric.  You REALLY need
  Cleric spells, and Mage spells are a good bonus.  Why do you need Cleric
  spells?  Not only to heal yourself (unless you like sleeping for days at a
  time to get your HP back), but also to get Create Food/Water and Underwater
  Breathing spells.

  Another good class is Mage/Cleric.  You can't really play this game without
  having Cleric spells.  Yes, I'm aware that both Paladins and Rangers get
  Cleric spells, but not for a great many levels!

Choosing a Difficulty Level:
----------------------------
  There are 3 main difficulty levels (Easy, Moderate, Hard) in this game.  
  Those are fairly self explanatory.  You can also customize your game if you 
  would like a hard experience but with more food than a hard game normally
  has, for example.  There is one option you might want to get rid of, and that 
  is "Character Death Real", which means that if you die, all your saved games 
  are lost as well.  Not fun.

Fighting:
---------
  One of the best ways to fight in Dungeon Hack is to have a Primary Weapon 
  (try to get the most magical one that you can find, a Mace +2 is better than 
  a Long Sword +1), plus you should use your Belt to hold 3 missile weapons.
  Then when you fight a battle, hit first with your primary weapon, then throw
  your best missile weapon.  Quickly pick it back up and throw it again.  And
  finally hit again with your primary weapon.  Repeat as necessary.  The only
  time that you want to use the rest of your missile weapons is if you fail to
  hit, and the first missile goes right past the enemy.

Resting:
--------
  You can rest any time you get about 4 or 5 squares away from all enemies.
  There is not punishment for resting, so do it anytime you lose some HP!

Spellcasting:
-------------
  To cast a spell (either Cleric or Mage) you need to first have the Holy 
  Symbol or Mage Book equipped in a hand, then click on it like to attack.  
  This opens your Spell List.  Now you no longer need to have the Holy 
  Symbol/Mage Book equipped.  You can cast as many spells as you want, the only 
  problem is that while you are casting spells you can't see the small map!

  Note:  Remember you cannot cast MAGE spells while wearing armor.  This does
         not include Mage Robes.

Books, Scrolls, and Other Items:
--------------------------------
  Always save it before looking at a Book or a Scroll.  These can often be
  cursed!  Of course, you will also find a lot of valuable Books, such as
  Manuals of Strength (which permanently raises your strength by a point!).
  You need not worry about journal pages, they are always safe.

  This comes to me from smilingesper:

    It might be worth including how Spiritual Hammers are THE weapon in the
    game...they do good damage (especially at high levels), you can use two at
    once, and even if they miss they attack again when coming back...it's like 
    4 attacks at once... and furthermore you can move backward while throwing 
    so the enemy can't hit you.  They last really long too, more than enough 
    for you to rest and re-memorize...  And they can't be absorbed by Living 
    Mucks.

Identifying Items:
------------------
  There are three ways to identify an item.  First, however, I would do a 
  Detect Magic to check to see if you should even bother identifying.  Once 
  that is out of the way, there are your three methods of Identifying.

    1.)  Trial and Error.  This is the only one available to every character
         class at all times in the game.  Simply use an item, and see what
         happens.  In the case of wands and potions, you will now know what 
         that type of item does.  So if you use an Oak Wand, and it turns out 
         that it is a "Wand of Unholy Butt-whupping", then forevermore every 
         Oak Wand you pick up is already identified as the "Wand of Unholy..."  
         This method does NOT work with Swords, Shields, Armors as you can't 
         USE them.

    2.)  The Scrying Glass.  This is the "Strange Mirror" that you pick up.  It
         has the power to identify the items in your hand when used in your 
         other hand.  Neat, but has a limited amount of charges.  I would 
         recommend Saving before using it, then identifying all Magic Items
         that you have, then loading.

    3.)  The Mage Spell Improved Identify.  This will identify any object 
         currently being held in your hands.  Great, but only if you are a 
         mage.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. The Levels
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Always explore the level completely!  You never know what you might find, a new
armor, a very nice weapon, a devastating wand.  The later levels get really
tough and you need all the items that you can get!

Tip: Don't just walk around looking at the map!  You will miss niches in the
     walls, and switches on the walls that open up new passages.

Each level has 2 normal types of enemies in them.  Plus some levels also have
a "boss".  Not really a boss, but just a much harder enemy of which you will
only find one.  Usually near the stairs down.

Tip: The spell "True Seeing" is your friend!  Not only does it work like a
     Detect Magic spell turning all magic items blue, but it also reveals the
     hidden passageways.  (you can't see them on the map, but you can see them
     on the normal screen)

If you fall down a pit, you can use the Grappling Hook to get back up.

Tip: When you find the stairs down to the next level, but you haven't finished
     exploring your current level yet, quickly go down them then back up.  Why?
     You get experience for passing the level!

Almost every item you get is used to open a door somewhere.  Bull's Horns, 
Tiger Eyes, Agate Gems, etc.  When you find a locked door with a weird thing by 
it that when you click it says "something is missing", you have found the lock.
Now you just have to put the right object there.  Tiger Eyes go onto a tiger,
Bulls' horn onto a bull, etc.  The harder ones are the Gems.  You can usually
see other gems, or sometimes just a similar color and texture to know which gem
to use.  Finally there are also other items like Red/Blue/Purple Mallets, which
you use on similarly colored Gongs.

Often you find the Key by killing an enemy somewhere.

Tip: Most doors open via a button that is located right on the door.  However,
     some open with a button that is located on another wall, try looking to 
     the side, or across on the opposite wall.  Also realize that some buttons
     don't LOOK like buttons.  If you see an odd looking wall across from a 
     door, click it to see if anything happens.

Once you reach the end of the Dungeon you will find the BOSS.  He could be any
number of creatures, and usually isn't too tough.  Once you beat him the game
ends.

Now for some tips on some things that you will find in various dungeons:

Underwater Level:  Make sure to have plenty of "Underwater Breathing" a cleric
                   spell of the Third Level.  Cast this and you will be fine.
                   If you don't have this spell you will take a small amount of
                   damage with every step and be unable to rest.  Also, there 
                   is an Ioun Stone that covers Water Breathing.
                   Typical Enemies: Water Elemental, Water Weird

No Magic Zone:     This isn't a full level.  You'll know that you have entered
                   a No Magic Zone because you will have "a strange tingling".
                   While in the Zone you can't cast any spells.  However, any
                   spells you already had cast, such as Aid, are still in 
                   effect.

Darkness:          This one is fairly annoying.  You can't see anything.  Since
                   your map still works that means that you have to use that
                   exclusively while in the Darkness.  So if you see a blue dot
                   you have to try to pick it up.  If there is a door you have
                   to find out how to open it, which could include unlocking
                   it.  Finding a keyhole isn't so difficult.  They are always 
                   about 2/3 up the wall, so just grab a key and try to put it 
                   in the center of the wall 2/3 up.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. The Enemies
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Enemies often have a range of hit points, that is, two enemies of the same type
often WON'T have the same amount of hit points!  Also realize that some enemies
have items on them that could be of great importance, so don't run away from
them!

Ankheg             An acid spitting bug monster.

Balor              A tanar'ri-demon, hittable only by +1 weapons.

Blue               A dragon-resistant to magic, and immune to electricity.

Bone Naga          Skeletal snake, takes less damage from sharp weapons.

Bugbear            A large goblinoid.

Carrion Crawler    A giant centipede with a paralyzing bite.

Chimera            A fire spitting creature with 3 heads:  goat, dragon, lion.

Cockatrice         Cross between a bird and a lizard, its bite will petrify.

Death knight       An unturnable undead warrior.

Earth Elemental    A creature of Earth, hittable only by +2 weapons.

Elemental Lord     The final monster in the dungeon.  Immune to all magic,
                   hittable by +2 weapons only.

Ettin              A large tough two headed giant.  Very powerful, and very
                   dangerous (if not feyr dangerous).

Flesh Golem        Magical humanoid creation, hittable only by +1 weapons, and
                   resistant to most forms of magic.  These move slowly, so hit
                   and then drop back by 2 steps to wait for them to come up,
                   then hit them again.  Repeat.  You shouldn't get hit at all.
                   Warning!  Don't back into new enemies/pits/traps or you may
                   end out in a far worse situation than a mere Flesh Golem.

Gargoyle           +1 or better needed to hit this stone-like monster.

Ghoul              Ghost warrior-undead, resistant to death spells and cold.

Goblin             A wussy humanoid, usually seen only on the first level.

Grave Mist         Strength draining undead, hittable by +1 (or better) 
                   weapons.

Greater Feyr       An invisible blob.  A very tough enemy in that he ignores 
                   your armor class.  Never ever fight two of these at once!  
                   If you are forced to, do this:  hit one of them a few times,
                   then run away, rest, and come back.  Repeat as necessary.

Greater Medusa     Shoots poison arrows and petrifies with its gaze.

Groaning Spirit    Hittable with +1 or better weapons, undead.

Hag                Fast robed figure.

Hobgoblin          A stronger version of the goblin.

Lich               Powerful unded, magic using, and requiring +1 or better 
                   weapons to hit.

Living Muck        One of the worst enemies EVER.  If you attack him with a
                   sword, the sword will be ABSORBED into the Muck!  If you
                   kill him you may get your things back, but still... that's 
                   evil! (it's not likely that you will get anything back, 
                   however!) So attack with spells.  One good and easy spell to 
                   use is Flame Blade, you can use it to attack like a weapon, 
                   but it can't be absorbed!

Meazel             A hag like monster.

Minotaur           A half-bull half man warrior.

Mummy              Undead, +2 or better to hit.

Ogre Slug          These big things have a 50% protection against blunt 
                   weapons, that is, if you hit them with a mace you do half 
                   damage.

Orc                A wimpy humanoid.

Otyugh             A grotesque monster.  Has a lot of attacks.

Scaladar           Scorpion-type monster resistant to electricity, and bladed 
                   weapons.

Shade Warrior      An undead warrior. Wimpy.

Shade Wizard       An undead wizard, wimpy, but worth lots of experience.

Shadow             Strength draining undead, hittable only by magic weapons, 
                   with a resistance to cold spells.

Shambling Mound    An animated compost heap.  Resistant to fire, lightning and
                   cold, with all weapons doing 1/2 damage.

Sheet Ghoul        An undead spitting corrosive acid.

Slithermorph       Immune to electricity, does a lot of damage.  At first 
                   glance you might mistake this for a Living Muck, but then
                   its Snake Body pops out to attack.

Spectre            Undead, +1 or better to hit and its touch can drain levels.

Spirit Naga        A snake monster, with a poisonous bite.

Wererat            Hittable only by silver or magic weapons.

Wight              Silver or magic weapons only, level drain ability.  Save it 
                   before you tangle with these guys, and if you lose levels, 
                   restore it.  (Lvl 7 Cleric, Restoration)

Wraith             Silver or magic weapons only, level drain ability.

Wyvern             A dragon-like creature with poisonous sting.

Xill               A beetle man with paralyzing capability.

4.  Items
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Items can be identified by use of the Scrying Glass, by using them, or through 
the spell Improved Identify.  You can only identify items in your hand at that
moment, so place the item you wish to ID in your hands first.  The Scrying 
Glass looks like a strange mirror.  If you use a wand, or any other usable item
such as a potion, you will learn not only what that item is, but every 
identical item.  So if you use one Wand of Lightning, you will forevermore be 
able to recognize Wands of Lightning.

This list comes from the Terratron guide, courtesy of Albert van Os.

6. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Q:  I just threw a missile weapon, and now I can't find it!

  A:  It's possible that you threw it through an illusionary wall.  Go
      straight ahead from where you threw it, and try going through the wall.


  Q:  What are Coins for?

  A:  There are 2 types of coins, silver and gold.  You will find a weird
      looking thing in walls that looks like a small Blue Gong with a slot
      under it.  Put a coin into the slot.  Silver gives you all HP, Gold
      gives you all HP and cures your status (like poison).


  Q:  I've found a door that I just can't open!  There's no buttons, or
      locks!

  A:  This means that you are on the wrong side of the door, there is a
      lock/button but that it is on the other side.  Heh.


  Q:  I lost my weapon attacking some weird black blob, how can I get it
      back?

  A:  You can't.  If the weapon doesn't reappear (and it shouldn't) when you
      defeat the Living Muck, then it is gone for good.  This is really bad
      when you lose a Named Weapon (like the Mace of High Priest Myrh).


  Q:  Help! It won't let me cast spells!

  A:  That just means that you are in a No Magic Zone.  Move around until
      you get out of it.

  How to Cheat:
  ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
          Before starting "Dungeon Hack", set the following variable at the DOS
          prompt: "set aesop_diag=1"  This will activate the cheats.

            Note:  These cheats can KILL the file "AESOP.EXE", so BACKUP this
                   file before starting the game.

          After these preparations, you will have the following options in the
          game:

          Key             Effect
          ---------------------------------------------------------
          [A]             Kill all monsters, simple yet effective.
          [T]             Enter text-mode.
          [I]             Walk through walls.
          [O]             Gain new item.
