Akalabeth: World of Doom/Walkthrough

The city emporium
At the game start, buy one weapon and lots of food. Spend all your money on food.

The castle
First thing to do when you leave town, explore the surface until you find the castle.

Dungeons
Dungeon floors are randomly-generated, but they share a basic structure. It is better to explore the same dungeon over and over again.



When the hero leaves the dungeon after killing some monsters, he will be rewarded with an increase in health points. In fact, HP replace experience points in Akalabeth.

Quests
The king will charge the hero with the task of killing a series of four monsters in dungeons. Said monsters can be encountered on the 4th, 6th, 8th and 10th dungeon floors, respectively.

The gameplay of Akalabeth was fully incorporated into Ultima I: The First Age of Darkness. There, quest monsters are found on the 3rd, 5th, 7th and 9th floor.

Once the hero completes his fourth quest, the king will beknight him. The player can then choose to keep exploring the dungeon and see how deep he can get, or restart the game with a new hero and/or difficulty setting.
