SWORD OF HOPE II Walkthrough
By: Xanathis (http://xanathis.cjb.net)
For any corrections/additions, email xanathis@hotmail.com

1st revision - may 1998 - mostly complete
2nd revision - august 2000 - found the old file and noticed
that I had left out a good part of the beginning and added that in.
Changed the format of the maps a bit.

If you've ever played shadowgate, then you'll
be familiar with the style of play that sword of hope
2 contains with more rpg elements involved.

Tips:
- Look/Hit almost anything and everything, you never know what you'll find.
Make sure to hit/look more than once, sometimes things will give more than one
item.
- Buy better eq as fast as you can at the beginning of the game
or you'll die a LOT.
- Before you lose a party member, unequip them so you can sell their stuff.
Equipment is not cheap in this game.
- Fortify and Empower are some of the best spells available. Make
sure to use them, especially in boss battles.
