| ==The story of the Sacred Orb==
| | Unlike [[Gauntlet|the original Gauntlet]], this game has a fixed set of 100 levels and a definite ending. The levels are divided into five worlds. |
| The black clouds swirled over the heads of the chosen ones. Four has | |
| come this far, but only two would continue. The portal to their deadly
| |
| challenge awaited. Foreboding screams rose up from the Gauntlet.

| | At the end of each level a map of the world is shown. You can use this map to chart your progress and see which rooms are connected together. Some rooms have more than one exit, and not all rooms are connected. The treasure rooms are shown with a $ in the map. Clue rooms which contain a clue to the final combination are shown with ?. The final combination is explained in the Collected Wisdom of World Five. These maps are considered accurate. |
| prepare to enter his most terrible Gauntlet. He knew they would never

| reach their goal. The Sacred Orb would remain forever imprisoned at
| |
| the lowest level of the Gauntlet. Without the Sacred Orb, Morak knew
| |
| the mortals that inhabited Rendar would be helpless against his evil
| |
| magic.
| |
| | |
| Morak had plundered the lands and hidden his booty in the Gauntlet.
| |
| He garrisoned his henchmen in the Gauntlet to guard it. There were
| |
| ghosts, grunts, demons, sorcerers, and even incarnations of death
| |
| itself.
| |
| | |
| But could the Sacred Orb be in the Gauntlet? No mortal knew for sure.
| |
| If nothing else, the warriors could retrieve the treasures of Rendar
| |
| that Morak had plundered and stored in the Gauntlet. If only all four
| |
| warriors could all continue, on this, the last leg of their quest.
| |
| Alas, the portal only allowed passage of two mortals.
| |
| | |
| The warriors need your help. Choose from among them the two that shall
| |
| continue: Become Thor the warrior, Thyra the valkyrie, Merlin the
| |
| wizard or Questor the elf.
| |
| | |
| The fate of Rendar is in your hands.

| Clue rooms which contain a clue to the final combination are shown with | |
| ?. The final conbination is explain in the Collected Wisdom of World | |

| | |
| Lvl 1 - In the upper right hand corner (by all the ghosts) their is a
| |
| secret exit to level 5. Shoot the walls to find it.
| |
| | |
| Lvl 5 - Lots of gold in the upper left hand room. If you have an extra
| |
| key you should use it here. Just to the right of the treasure room is
| |
| a secret exit to level 9. You have to shoot a wall to find it but its
| |
| there.
| |
| | |
| Lvl 7 - The treasure chest contain temporary invisibility. Don't waste
| |
| your key.
| |
| | |
| Lvl 9 - The 1st locked room contains food, and reflective shots. The
| |
| 2nd locked room holds death, a potion, and a key.
| |
| | |
| Lvl 10 - There is a false wall to the left of the 1st door so don't
| |
| bother using a key. Also don't hit any of the magic tiles near the
| |
| bottom of the room, they don't open up the way to the potion. Use the
| |
| lone magic tile on the right side of the map instead.
| |
| | |
| Lvl 11 - The treasure chest contains reflective shots. In the area
| |
| with the 3 magic tiles, hit the upper left one to open the way to
| |
| legvel 12.
| |
| | |
| Lvl 12 - Awesome! This level rocks. It has a ton of stuff. 5
| |
| potions, food, lots of gold, and an extra armor potion. Don't wanna
| |
| miss any of that stuff. Oh yea. The locked chest contains a magic
| |
| tile which makes some walls in the center of the map disappear. Shoot
| |
| the lone wall in the center to reveal another magic tile. Step on that
| |
| to get rid of some more walls. Shoot the new wall, standing all by its
| |
| lonesome self, to exit.
| |
| | |
| Lvl 14 - Hit all the magic tiles to get a key and to openthe way to
| |
| both exits. The one to the left goes to 15. The one to the right
| |
| goes to 17.
| |
| | |
| Lvl 15 - Hit all the magic tiles to open the way to level 16. The exit
| |
| in the upper left is to 18. The treasure chest contains a stupid
| |
| treasure so don't waste your key.
| |
| | |
| Lvl 16 - All right the secret room! Yea. There are four treasure
| |
| chests. You only need 2 keys tho. Once you've hit the magic switch in
| |
| either 1 or 3 go to the food room. Between the two plates of food is a
| |
| fake wall. Shoot it to reveal another magic tile. Step on it to open
| |
| the way to the exit and the clue.

| 1 contains a magic tile which open the bottom wall of the food area.
| |
| 2 contains a poison potion.
| |
| 3 contains a magic tile which opens the top wall of the food area.
| |
| 4 contains an extra magic potion!
| |
| | |
| Lvl 17 - Both exits go to 18. The treasure on the bottom portion of
| |
| the map contains food while the treasure on the top contains 1 treasure
| |
| chest... whoopie...
| |
| | |
| Lvl 18 - Hey cool! This is an original gauntlet level from the arcade.
| |
| I'm not sure which level but I know it definately is. Only 1 secret
| |
| here. In the upper right portion of the room shoot a wall to reveal 10
| |
| super shots. Its along the very outter edge of the wall and has 3(?)
| |
| other blocks touching it I think. It looks something like that if my
| |
| memory is correct.
