Author's notes:

This is THE complete, solved, and written docs forBard's Tale III: TheTheif of Fate. We started playing Bard's Tale III on 6-15-88. We finished on6-23-88. We started writing this on 6-28-88. We finishedwriting this on6-29-88. We released this on 6-30-88. The 15 days betweenwhen we startedplaying, and when we finished writing this, was the worstexperience everconceived to mankind. When and if Bard's Tale IV comes out,someone elsebetter write a solve file, because we sure the hell aren't!!

We would like to clarify for Vigilante, who gave us theinspiration towrite a real solve file, that Shahka Brae doesn't exist. Wewould also liketo tell him that the dude with the long name is actually'Brilhasti ap Tarj.'Also, the Stone Touch spell doesn't exist in Bard's TaleIII.

The general info file we used was taken from the docstyped in by ESI. Thetrainer was taken from BBI. The fix used for the codewheelwas taken from XPB.This solve was done by Kool Kat, Wildcat, and Marduk. All inthe 404 area code.

===} BARD'S TALE III: Thief of Fate {===

[{ PREFACE }] As I lay dying...

I pray my body does not fail me before I am able to completethis mostimportant missive. I pray as well that, somehow, the heroeswho once beforesaved Skara Brae will find this accounting and act upon it.I leave thisrecord so those who come after will know what horrors thatthe Mad God Tarjan

has perpetrated, and so that they will not be lulled intobelieving thatSkara Brae was his sole target.

How can I describe that day. May, it did not begin like allothers for onthat day we celebrated the victory over Mangar that had sorecently liberatedour city. Bards from the world arrived in Skara Brae toplay and herald thebrave deeds of those heroes who saved us. The townspeopledanced in thestreets with happiness, and the great festival filled all

with anoverwhelming joy of life and renewed hope for the future.

Then Mangar's Master, the The Mad God Tarjan, arrived toreduce our day ofcelebration into a day of mourning. His shadow sank thecity into pitilessblack oblivion. Foul creatures that had festered in hisflesh like maggotsburst forth to assault fair Skara Brae. People ran, but


3/41

could not run swiftlyenough to escape. Tarjan's minions left none untouched.

Forgive the shakiness of my script, for life ebbs painfullyfrom my body as Iwrite. Tarjan, mocking my death curse, told me Skara Braewas barely one in aseries of conquests he had long contemplated to complete hisrevenge. Helaughed when I said heroes would come to destroy his madplan, yet I sensedfear in his voice when I promised that the legendaryHawkslayer, and thosewho defeated Margar, would return again to triumph. Aspayment for mythreat, he gave a swift twist of his jewelled sword into mybelly.

Tarjan must be stopped. Whosoever reads this, you must getword to theheroes. This will be their greatest challenge, for upontheir efforts reststhe fate of more than Skara Brae, more than the Six Citiesof the plains.

Their failure will mean the extinction of all life - savefor the wretchedTarjan and his servile parasites. Pray for success...andlife renewed.

[{ OBJECTIVES }]

You must assemble a group of adventurers who will travel tothe sevendimensions in search of the source of Skara Brae'sdestruction. Along theway, you'll gather words, spells, and items that will help

you in your finalbattle against the repugnant Evil One. If you successfullydestroy the EvilOne, Skara Brae will be released from the bond of ruin.

Using logic is he key to surviving in each of thedimensions. Let's sayyou're trekking around in some icy, arctic-like zone and amonstrous snowwolf steps onto your path, bares its teeth, and thenproceeds to chew offyour ankle. You have a bag of spells to chose from, but onetype of spell

would be 'especially' effective. (Hint: Trying to freeze thesnow wolf in anice storm is not the best choice.)

Throughout the game, you'll need to make important decisionsabout how toaccomplish certain tasks. You won't want to proceed in theusual 'WhateverWorks' method. It will pay to think it out.

[{ PRE-BUILT PARTIES }]

When you enter the Refugee Camp, you'll find a group ofadventurers calledINTERPLAYERS ready to do your bidding. They're not the mostseasoned of

adventurers, but they're good enough for you to sample Thiefof rate with.Use these characters to find out how commands work, whatdifferent races andclasses do, how it feels to get repeatedly attacked, ingeneral, what theRealm is like. When you're ready, you can create your owncharacters.

[{ CREATING CHARACTERS }]

I'm sure most of you know how to do this, so there's no needin the keypressing situation ... so listen up:

RACES-----HUMANS: Their strength and inventiveness make them one ofthe best survivors.Never lacking agression , they can handle themselves in justabout any adversesetting.

ELF: Fair of hair and skin, the Elves are slightlytaller,faster, and moreagile than humans. Although weaker, they make up for thisby being more

skilled in magical arts and war strategies.

DWARF: Stout and short, these people are amazingly strongand healthy.Brightness, however, isn't a shining attribute of theirs.

HOBBIT: The Hobbit is deft and clever, which are idealtraits for thieving.Their favorite boast is 'A locked door is soon no more.'

HALF-ELF: The result of an Elf and Human 'friendship', Half-Elves acquiretheir fair and light skin from Elves, and their physical

bulk from Humans.

HALF-ORC: Orcs are the henchman of evil wizards who arecapable of littlemore than following orders for physical dirty work. Half-Orcs are temperedwith Human blood, so while they're still dangerous, theyaren't completelymindless drones forever in search of necks to wrench.


5/41

GNOME: Gnomes are much like Dwarfs, but a little more anti-social due to adeficit in beauty. Because they've spent so much timestudying alone, Gnomeshave developed a certain flair for magic.

CHARACTER ATTRIBUTES--------- ----------

As you create your characters, these attributes appear abovethe racecategories at the top of the screen. They're yourcharacter's vitalstatistics. These values will determine how successful yourcharacterperforms in his or her class (or 'profession').

STRENGTH (ST): Nobody really wishes to be light on might,but strength isespecially important to fighters.

INTELLIGENCE (IQ): If you won't have brawn, then you betterhave the brains.

Magicians get bonus spell points for high intelligencescores.

DEXTERITY (DX): This helps determine how fleet of feed andnimble of handyou'll be. A high score makes you harder to hit, and helpsyou land thefirst blow. For Rogues, the higher this value, the lesslikely they'll gettheir fingers snapped off in traps.

CONSTITUTION (CN): This represents your overall health. Thehigher this is,

the more damage your opponent must inflict on you before youneed to startthinking about death. Should you be blessed with strongconstitution, youwill get bonus hit points.

LUCK (LK): Luck is ambiguous and unpredictable; you neverknow what allianceit has made with fate. One thing is known about luck: luckysouls are morelikely to resist evil magic and avoid traps.

CLASSES-------

No one class, or profession, is nobler than the next. Asthe mix of stringson the Bard's mandolin makes for a richer sound, so will amix of callsmake for a richer journey. Create a party with no Rogues orBards, andyou'll have nobody to steal flowers for your grave and sing


6/41

at your funeral.While there are 13 classes to put your choosing, only eightare available tothe first-time adventurer.

WARRIOR: It's a rare weapon that this king of fighters can'thandle. Warriorsgain an extra attack capability for every four levels ofexperience after thefirst; a reward for becoming more adept in battle.

PALADIN: This fighter swears to battle all evil and upholdhonor and purity.Due to their virtuous nature, the Paladin can handle someenchanted weaponsthat other can't and also have greater resistance to spellscast on them.

HUNTER: These are the skilled assassins. Their combatapproach is to aim forthe vital organs or nerve center and do away with theopponent with as littleswordplay as possible.

MONK: These are no ordinary, somber, brown-robed, porridgeeaters. Monks areactually adept fighters skilled in the ways of martial arts.While Monks withmore experience prefer to fight with their bare hands, theycan also usetraditional weapons. A Monk's armor class improves as he orshe gains levels.

BARD: Any Bard will tell you that music can do more thansooth the savagebeast. The Bard can do a number of things from creatinglight to

regenerating spell points with a mere stroke of strings.

ROGUE: This dexterous thief makes a living out of pickinglocks andneutralizing traps. If you plan on traveling without aRogue, prepare topay a high physical price for your spoils. A Rogue also hasthe ability toidentify mysterious items. And perhaps most important, aRogue can be anexcellent killer due to his or her ability to sneak up closeto an opponentbefore he or she attacks...and you'll soon find out just how

important thisthief is to your fate.

CONJURER: Conjurers have the ability to heal wounds andcreate physicalphenomena like fire and light.

MAGICIAN: A Magician's specialty is to change the propertiesof physicalobjects, such as enchanting a sword, turning an enemy to


7/41

stone, or making adungeon wall vanish.

SORCERER: These mages have weighty illusions, ones that anewly-madecharacter surely couldn't handle. You must know at leastthree spell levelsfrom the Magician and Conjurer classes.

WIZARD: Rumor of the Real is that these mages have the powerto summon andbind creatures of the supernatural, creatures who reactfoully to beingdragged out of their worlds on someone else's whim.

ARCHMAGE: Archmages must have mastered all the spells of anythree magicclasses. With this hefty experience requirement, Archmagesare undoubtedlythe most auspicious among those who cast spells for aliving.

GEOMANCER: Fighters who want to convert to a life of a magiccan become

Geomancers. Once they choose to change, they can still usethe armor,weapons, and magic items that the fighter can use. Beware:Bards lose theirsongs, Warriors lose their multiple attacks, Hunters losetheir critical hitability, and Monks lose their armor class bonus and multipleattacks. It'spart of the trade off.

CHRONOMANCER: Chronomancers are the travel experts of themagic users.Before becoming one, a magic user must master all the spells

of any threemage classes. An once you become a Chronomaster, you losethe power to useall the spells you previously learned. It may sound unfair,but theChronomancer needs to focus all of his or her attention onthe importantdimensions teleport spells. Don't think you can get aroundwithout thisspellcaster, because you can't.

SPECIAL CHARACTER TIPS FROM THE REFUGEE CAMP

------- --------- ---- ---- --- ------- ----

* Don't worry about losing a level 1 character; just makeanother one if heor she dies. However, when your characters reach level 3,regularly back upyour character disk with your favorite disk copy utility orprepare to shedtears over a lost character.


8/41

* If your favorite character is killed, you can resurrecthim or her withmagic, or with gold if you can find a shrine that raises thedead. You canalso turn off the computer, reboot, and reload your partyfrom the pointwhere you last saved them to disk (which means all of thecharacters lose anygold or experience points they may have earned since thelast time you savedthem.) Or, you can delete the dead character from your maincharacter disk,and replace that character from your backup disk.

* When you roll for attributes, shoot for 16's, 17's, and18's since they canmake a big difference. For example, high dexterity givesyou bonus armorprotection and first strike capabilities; luck often letsyour survive ifyou accidentally spring a trap; constitution provides allcharacters withextra hit points; and high intelligence gives mages bonusspell points in

later turns.

* Certain races rely on certain attributes being strong. Amage who isstrong but not intelligent is at a far greater disadvantageat an oppositeattribute... being weak but with high intelligence.

* Develop a Sorcerer quickly to use in the dungeons.Wizards, too, areimportant because they can summon extremely powerful specialmembers . Worktoward Archmagedom. You'll also need to prepare at least

one character forthe role of Chronomancer.

* Experiment with Hunters. They can often kill superiormonsters quicklybecause of their critical hit capabilities. Rogues alsohave excellentcritical hit abilities, but only when they hide in theshadows. And don'tdismiss the Monk as lightweights best left chanting in themonastery; afterthe sixth level, they're probably the best fighters of allthe classes.

* You can always enlist the services of special members andsave them to yourparty.

* Beware of certain magic squares. Keep an eye on yourcharacter'sstatistics while exploring. If you see that yourcharacter's spell or hitpoints are dropping for no apparent reason, your character


9/41

is probably on amagic square that drains power - jump off the square beforehe or she issapped of all strength.

[{ SPECIAL CHARACTERS }]

You may meet special characters during your travels, orsummon them with aspell or magic article (the summoned characters are alsoknown as illusionarycharacters). You can invite as many of these specialcharacters to join yourparty-granted you have the space in your party. You cansave specialcharacters to disk once you return to the Refugee Camp.

Special characters choose their own method of attack andusually go after thefirst group of monsters that you party if facing.Illusionary charactersdisappear from the party ranks when they are killed or whena foe disbelieves

its existence. If a nonillusionary special characters isattacked by anotherparty member for any reason, the special characterimmediately turns hostileand fights until defeated. Dead special characters can beresurrected andhealed just like your regular characters.

Special characters can carry items for your party, but theycan't find themor use them. Only the characters you made are capable ofthis. When specialmembers are killed, anything they were carrying disappears,

so don't havethem carry your favorite family heirloom.

[{ MOVING UP IN LEVELS }]

All newly-made characters start out as level one. As youadventure, fight,and gain experience, you can go up in levels. The higheryour level, thebetter you'll perform in the profession you choose: magicusers cast morespells, fighters fight more skillfully, thieves steal more

successfully, andso on. To advance, you must go to the Review Board wherethe Old Man willreview your accomplishments and let you know if you are fitforadvancement... [Art possibly?]

Spellcasters need to advance in levels to acquire morespells. Whatspellcasters would wish to dedicate years of study only to


10/41

dabble in the samehandful of tepid spells all of their lives? The followingtables shows atwhat level spellcasters can use certain level spells. Forinstance, a Wizardwith an experience level of 3 can only use spells up to thesecond level.Spellcasters have seven spell levels that they can acquire.

EXPERIENCE LEVEL/SPELL LEVEL

1/1 8/42/1 9/53/2 10/54/2 11/65/3 12/66/3 13+/77/4

You can advance to a new, more powerful mage class once youlearn enoughspells from enough mage classes. Just how many spells andjust which mageclasses you must learn depend on which mage class you want

to advance to.When you go to the Review Board, you'll find out exactlywhich classes youcan advance to at that time.

For those seeking to change classes, your experience pointswill reset tozero, but your other attributes such as hit points, spellpoints, and goldremain unaffected. A warning to magic users: once youadvance to a new magespells, you don't get the chance to learn the magic classesand spell levels

that you skipped. For instance, if you become an Archmagewithout havingstudied the Sorcerer spells, you cannot go back to learnthose Sorcererspells.

[{ PLACES }]

Despite the fact that much of the Realm was crushed, someplaces still dostand. The Scrapwood Tavern, for one, still does goodbusiness.

[{ REFUGEE CAMP }]

Once, there was a home to travelers called the Adventurer'sGuild. Wayfarersstopped there when they wanted to slake a thirst, engage inmerriment, orjust rest their weary feet. Now that the plague hasdescended and Skara Brae


11/41

has been shattered, the Refugee Camp serves as the gatheringpoints fortravelers.

Although lacking the niceties of the Adventurer's Guild(tables, heating,vermin free bedding), you can still do the same things inthe Refugee Camp.Come here to create characters, form a party, and savecharacters to disk.This is where you will begin every game and where you willbe returned shouldall your party perish during the quest.

[{ SCRAPWOOD TAVERN }]

Drink up! This is the only tavern in the vicinity. You maywant to fill upwith a wineskin here so your Bard will not have to gothirsty in some of themore inhospitable, tavernless areas. While you're here, askthe barkeep howthings are going...

[{ PLACES NO MORE }]

In the previous scenarios of Bard's Tale, you may of foundplaces likeRoscoe's Energy Emporium, temples, casinos, but... here, youmay not be sofortunate. So you may have to search out for alternatives,if there are any.

[{ REVIEW BOARD }]

Once, this housed the representatives from each of the tendifferent classesfrom all over the Realm. They were responsible foradvancing adventurers withenough experience points to higher levels. During the darkdays, all fled orperished in the attempt. Now, the Old Man sits on theBoard, and he alonewill answer to your call for advancement [Art, again inaid.]

[{ MORE TIPS FROM THE REFUGEE CAMP - PLACES }]

* Your first adventure should be in the Mad God's dungeon inSkara Brae.Here you'll build your savvy for fighting, spellcasting, andadventuring.

* Avoid potential traps. Use the Trap Zap spell when indoubt. It willdisarm any trap, including the Gas Cloud trap, famous for


12/41

its toxic fumes.

Actual solution starts here:

Skara Brae:

To complete the level of Skara Brae, one must ventureinto the Mad God'sTemple, and utter the words 'chaos.' Once inside of thedungeon, teleportimmediatly two levels down using the APAR spell. Once there,find a portal thatgoes down. It will be much easier to find using the SOSIspell. When you arewithin three or four paces of the portal, the spell willtell you 'Somethingspecial is near.' Once you are in the room with the portal,cast LEVI and hit'W' to levitate down the portal. Walk around until Brilhasti

tells you thatyou are close. When he does so, he should be right aroundthe corner. Once youhear him for the second time, go to the west and stayagainst the wall, turnnorth and precede cautiously. After going north foraproximately ten paces, hit'?' to see the dungeon map (you may want to do this duringother dungeons.) Ifyou see on the map that you have passed through a door, goeast one and southone. You may want to save the game before you go south. Onceyou go south, you

will enter his chamber. As soon as possible, cast the PRECspell. This spellwill prevent Brilhasti from conjuring up more foes for youto fight. Try tokill his guards as soon as possible. After killing all foesexcept Brilhasti,advance until at 10'. Once you kill him, you will beteleported back tothe Review Board where the old man will teach yourChronomancer (if you haveone) the spells to get to Arboria. Which is our nextdimension to solve.

Arboria:

To enter Arboria cast: ARBOTo return to Skara Brae cast: ENIK

Once in Arboria, seek the fisherman's hut. Go insideand pay him money tolearn the GILL spell. This spell will allow you to breatheunder water. Afterlearning the spell (which can also be learned in the


13/41

Wizard's guild inside ofCiera Brannia) go in the lake right next to the hut. As soonas you are underwater, cast the GILL spell. It only last for a short while,so move quickly.Head towards the west. After going west for about 20 paces,you should be nearthe water of life. To get some, make one of your charactersuse a wineskin or acanteen. They will collect some of the water which will playan important rolein the future. Once out of the lake, look around for an oaktree. It is closeto the city gates. When you run into it, it will ask you ifyou want to pick anacorn. Type yes and give it to one of your characters. Now you must go to the top of Valarian's tower and getthe nightspear.Teleport straight up about two or three levels using theAPAR spell. Once youmake it two the top, there is a place where you must plantthe acorn. To do so,make the character use the acorn. He/she will plant it. Thenuse the Water of

Life. The acorn will grow into a full size tree. Climb thetree and look aroundon the top level for the nightspear. Give it to one of yourcharacters. To getout of Valarian's tower, teleport straight down two or threelevels, and findthe stairs going out of the tower. Go inside of the city, and go into the King's castle.It should be rightin front of the city gates. The king will tell you to bringTsolaths head tohim. Then you will exit the city and find the festering pit.It looks like a

hole in the ground. After you enter it, teleport down withthe APAR spelland find Tsolath. Cast a PREC spell as soon as you find him.The best way tokill him is to use something quick and powerful, such as theDEST spell. Onceyou kill him, he will try to come back to life, but thenightspear will absorbthe light that controls him, killing him for ever. Then youwill be able to gethis head and heart. Take them and go back to the King'scastle. The King willtake Tsolaths head and let you into his Sacred Grove, which

is right outside ofhis castle. Enter the grove and head towards the south-central partof the dungeon.You should find a door there. Enter the door and useTsolaths heart. One ofyour characters will put it in a bowl in his chest. Then usethe Water of Life,this will make the heart start pumping and bring Valarianback to life. You


14/41

then will have to exit and re-enter his burial chamber todiscover a door tothe east. Enter the door and head towards the south-east.There you will findValarian's bow and arrows. Give them to your characters andmake you way backout of the grove to the city gates. Find the well worn areawhere you willteleport back to Skara Brae. Go to the old man in the ReviewBoard. He shouldgive you 600000 experience points and tell you of your nextquest. Be sureto have your chronomancer talk to him to learn the newteleporting spells.

To teleport to Malefia cast: EVILTo teleport to Skare Brae cast: LIVE

Malefia was absolutely the hardest and most timeconsuming dungeons of allBard's Tale dungeons. We refer to it as the S.O.B.dimension. I will simplyexplain the goals, and let you experience the hell we wentthrough solving thisdungeon by ourselves. It's helpful to cast SCSI to find outhow lost you reallyare. On the main level, you will have to find a statue. Onceyou do so use thecorresponding item. On the first level down, there are twomore statues. On the

second level down, there are three more statues. Once youcomplete all of thestatue business, go to the bottom right corner of the firstlevel down andlevitate down the portal in a big room. Go north to find THEdoor. If it's a'faint door' then you haven't found all of the statues (sixof them.) We advisesaving the game numerous times while venturing beyond THEdoor. You must kill


17/41

the first group of foes to enter the sacred chamber. Once inthe chamber, youmust fight more foes to cross a bridge. Running from thesecond group of foescan do more damage than good. Once you past the secondgroup, you must go afterTarjan himself. Tarjan isn't exactly in a cheerfull moodwhen you find him. Hewill conjurer up some 'friends' that you must play with (thetrainer would benice right now, wouldn't it??) After playing with the firstgroup of friends,guess what? Yep, another group of friends. These friendsaren't really friends.These friends don't like you very much. If you are luckyenough to kill thesecond group, Tarjan is all yours. Since he likes to conjurup 10 black slayersevery round, casting PREC might not be a bad idea. Once youhave killed the Mad One, you will enter adventurer heavenand will be put to sleep until part IVcomes out. You may now turn it off and go back to SkaraBrae, where you willwelcome a group of Hedge Lizards. Beat the %$#% out of them

and then you maywant to do one of the following:

1. If you have to cut the grass tommorow, use some of thegasoline (all if necessacary) and play Pyro-Bardia. 2. If you don't have to cut the grass, you have a couple ofnice frisbees to throw at your dog. 3. If you just happen to have some hydrochlroic acid layingaround, we hear disks react violently to it. 4. Have you ever studied the anatomy of a diskette?

You must go up and down many portals to find the abovestatues!

We had lots of fun finding them, so can you!HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Tarmitia:

To teleport to Tarmitia cast: AECETo teleport to Skara Brae cast: KULO

Tarmitia was meant to be harder than it actually is. Allyou have to dois answer a riddle and kill some one. Walk around in Berlinuntil you finda floating head. The head will ask 'Who am I?' Respond with:Tyr. Then the headwill ask 'Who am I really?' Respond with :Werra. You willthen be teleport to anew dungeon. There, go the the bottom left corner. Enter

Werra's chamber andkill him. It is a good idea to cast PREC and DIVA. This partlooks easier thanit really is. After you kill Werra, he sits up and laughs atyou, while sixblack slayers try to destroy you. 2 NUKE spells should takecare of them, butwatch out, because the Black Slayers critical hit everythingthey touch! Onceyou kill the Black Slayers, you will receive your prizes andwill be able to goback to Skara Brae. To do so, go to the top right corner andwalk through the

teleport.Tenabrosia:

To teleport to Tenabrosia cast: OLUKTo teleport to Skara Brae cast: ECEA

In Tenabrosia you will want to go inside of the citygates to Black Scar.Here you will find a Bard's Hall that will teach your Bardsome new songs. Youwill also find a Wizard's Guild that will teach you the ever-powerfullGoderdammerung spell (NUKE). Once you learn those, you may

exit the city andset out to fulfill your quest. Find the Canyon in nowhere,and the shadow lockwill be in it somewhere. After you find it, leave the canyonand find the TarPit. It looks like a hole in the ground. It would be verywise to save yourgame before entering this death pit. Once you are in the pitgo south down thewall you enter by. Then turn west and proceed about 10


19/41

paces. You want to beat the very center of the southern wall. Once you are at thecenter, slowly andcautiously go north. You will be walking over tar, so youwill get stuck manytimes, and you might lose a few characters. Don't worry,just cast REST if yourhit points are getting too low. You should find a placewhere tar is bubblingup in the middle. Use a wineskin or canteen to collect someof it. Go back theway you came. Once you exit the dungeon, go to the denseforest (6S,7W) andfind a group of trees that are blocking the entrance toanother dungeon. Itlooks like a hole between a few trees. Once you are facingthe trees, use thetar that you just gathered. The tree will go up in flames,allowing you toenter the dungeon within. Once in the dungeon, you must findthe shadow door. When you have the shadow door and lock, go to the'middle of nowhere.' Usethe shadow door and lock. A magic door will appear which you

will be able togo through. Once inside, wander around until you findScedeau. He will beguarding the prizes you seek. Since he will keep moving youfurther and furtheraway, the olny way to kill him is to have your rogue hide inthe shadows.It may take a while to get him/her out to 90', but when youdo so, it is a goodidea to cast DIVA to increase the damage inflicted uponScedeau. If you don'tkill him the first time, just go back out again until youdo. Another good idea

is to cast PREC, because while you are hiding in theshadows, Scedeau justmight want to conjur up some friends to mess you up.

Actual solution ends here !
