Bonus Song:
For a lovely bonus in the single-player game, toss some
coins in the bard's tray (in the center of town.)
Easter Egg:
When playing as the thief, you can steal from the
chickens in town. Your reward is entirely appropriate.
Extra gold:
Begin a new game and give all money from one character
to the other character (money holder). Start another new
game, and select the money holder as one character and
create an entirely new character. Transfer 1500 gold
from the new character to the money holder. Repeat as
needed to build your gold total.
Money Trick:
The fastest road to easy money is by starting a new game
with two monks. Transfer both the money and book of
resurrection to one monk then quit the game. Start a new
game with that same monk and another new monk, repeating
the process until inventory is full of books and money.
Ideally transfer books to a fighter with a good trade
skill and sell all the books bringing in a total of
about 180,000gp. Deposit gold and repeat. Mmmm.
Hint: Avoid player killer problems:
Use the following steps to save your game when playing
over a network. Copy your save files to another
directory that is outside of the DarkStone directory
before joining a network game. To restore a save, reload
DarkStone from the CD, then copy the saves from the
outside directory. Note: Make sure all three saves are
copied.
Play Music in MP3 Player
Because the music in DarkStone is stored in MP3 format,
rename the file (giving it an [mp3] extension) to hear
it in your MP3 player!
GameTips -
The spell of choice for magic users:
The spell of choice for magic users, especially between
levels 1 and 20, is the Magic Bomb. This is a magical
contact grenade that you can drop directly onto your
enemy's head, even from around a corner or through a
wall. I never saw a monster resist it, and it does
around 30 to 70 points of damage per hit.
tired of getting killed:
Are you tired of getting killed over and over by spike
traps and mines while you're trying to get to the
treasure? The problem often can be solved by one or two
Scrolls of Telekinesis, or a Scroll of Teleport. They
cost a few gold pieces, but can save you a lot of time.
The Time Orb:
The Time Orb, once you have it, still won't do you a lot
of good in the battle against Draak. It has only one
charge, and its effect doesn't last long. You have to do
hundreds of points of damage to Draak in about 30
seconds if you want to win the fight.
