We'll start off this months adventure section with a cry for help from FREDRIK EKMAN who is stuck in Middle Earth:

In Shadows of Mordor, I have figured out that I need to attack Smeagol and then tie him with the rope, but after that I seem to need to do something else, perhaps say something to him, or he will run away when I release him. What do I say, then?

Smeagol is a dodgy character to say the least! When you have tied up Smeagol and he asks to be untied, tell him "No". He should offer to show you the way to Mordor. But don't trust him - before untying him, make him PROMISE to take you there!

For all of you stuck in this months adventure, RETARDED CREATURES AND CAVERNS, heres a few coded hints to get you started!

BARDS TALE - Beginners Guide

This epic Role Playing Game, included with this months game pack, certainly takes an eternity to complete, with its 17 massive levels. But just to get you started, heres a quick guide of how to tackle some of the places in the city level, SKARA BRAE.

REVIEW BOARD

Most important place in the whole game. It is here you advance levels and gain power and magic. The review board is the second house on the left when headin South down Trumpet street.

MAD GODS TEMPLE

Beneath lie dark dungeons, although you will have to prove your faith to the high priests before you can enter...

INNS AND TEMPLES

Temples are valuable places. Characters can be healed, cured and even raised to life in these places, although the cost is very high. Innkeepers are valuable sources of information, but they charge for this help. The first dungeon you enter is located near an Inn, so look carefully.

THE CASTLES

The three castles in Skara Brae must all be entered at some time during the game, although the entrances are hard to find. Dont try too hard to defeat the guardians of Baron Harkyns castle in the NW of the city...You will not be able to get far until you are more experienced.

SINISTER ROAD

This strange street seems to go on forever...although it may have some significance later in the game....

THE LEGENDARY FIRE HORN

The Bards Fire Horn is the most powerful weapon in the game, and can defeat numerous enemies with ease. Don`t be too complacent when using it, though: It may not last forever...

These subtle hints should give you a taster of what to expect from this excellent game. If you have any more queries about this, or any game, just drop us a line here at Emulate and we will throw you a life-line!
