Sword of Hope Game Tips and Spoilers The Forest Talk to the trees! Use the Look command to talk to trees and people. There's a secret in the Shop. Martel's Domain Some places here will need to be visited twice. Try Using spells and items at the Altar and Organ. Look at the Gravestone of the Swordsman's Grave. Try Hitting Walls and other things throughout the game. You never know what you might discover! Beware! Some chests have Mimics hiding in them. Very dangerous for a low-level hero. It's best to save/write down the passwords before opening chests, in case you meet a Mimic or other enemy. Shabow's Domain If you find yourself stuck, try the Look command. Shabow's Domain-The Cave Draw a map as you go. There are many one-way-only passageways here! Enemies lie hidden in some chests. Make sure you are fully healed before opening one! Camu's Domain A basic rule of RPG's: whenever you find a place that restores your hitpoints and/or magicpoints use it. And save the game/write down the passwords!

Some Final Words I don't own this game yet. I hope to find a copy of it soon. Much of the information was gotten (though I rewrote and added a bit) from an old, out of print cluebook.I do have Sword of Hope 2, and am working on a FAQ and charts for it. If you have any tips or walkthroughs (even partial would be very cool) for either Sword of Hope game, E-Mail Me! There is almost nothing written about this game and it's sequel. And both are great games! I'm about halfway through Sword of Hope 2, and find it just as good as the Final Fantasy Legend series. It's a bit different in point of view and exploration. Which I enjoy a lot. Makes the game a bit more realistic when you can interact with what's on the screen. If you find either of these games, buy them! They are somewhat rare, and well worth adding to your game collection! [ Back To Dreamfire's Main Page ]
