Is there by any chance a guide to what the different items do in the game?
I know 'Cloud' items give you teleport, while 'Serpent' items are healing, and I read about the potions as well somewhere, maybe in this thread.
But I just acquired myself a Battlehorn and I have no idea what it does. My Troubadour is currently using a Lyre which grants him a +2 to constitution, but I would figure that Battlehorn is better although no stat changes occur when I equip it...

None that I've ever seen, and I've still got the original game contents (though I discarded the cardboard box years ago). I did write out a few item effects, however, which I found with my old manual, just now:

Gold Helm: Forward/Missile
Chaos Helm: Forward/Live
Dragon Potion: Regenerate/Speed/Antimage
Serpent Helm: Heal/Surround/Heal (nice one!)
Cloud Wand: Teleport
Frost Helm: Surround/Paralyze
Holy Helm: Surround/Thrall
Amber Wand: Missile Damage
Angel Helm: Teleport/Speed
Dragon Ring, Blood Helmet: Surround/Missile
Amber Staff: Regenerate/Speed/Antimage/Surround Same
Dragon Helm: Surround Disrupt
Dragon Staf: Missile/Disrupt/Surround/Disrupt
Arcane Mandolin: Surround/Missile/Disrupt

That's it. Hope that helps. The best thing to do is remember that no item in the game uses AD&D style rules, and every magical item employs some combination of the runes in the game.

EDIT: One point to bear in mind. The final boss is ridiculously over-powered and over-sped. It's just not worth facing him, in my opinion, and a sad way to end an otherwise excellent title.

Did anyone ever import their characters into "Worlds of Legend: Son of the Empire"?
It should work but I never tried it...

I am stuck in the Dark Tower on level 2 in the room with the four doors that have to be opened by hitting damage tiles on a separate island on the side of the room. I can get the first three doors open, but I can't get that last door open! I remember this was the part I stopped at when I was younger for like a year before I picked the game back up and somehow figured it out. Anybody know what spell I need to cast to get the &*%$ door open?

I finally figured it out. To save anyone undo aggravation, the spell is Forward-missle-4x Damage-Surround-4x Damage. I'm not sure if the first 4 damages in a row are necessary, but thats how I got it done. Long Live Treihadwyl!

Even if I block three tiles (destination tile and both adjoining ones), character that enters a teleporter in front of the chest still gets teleported. So I assume the same thing would happen when those tiles are blocked by monsters.
Or, perhaps there's a certain number of tiles to be blocked to make the chest teleport disabled. But that would be really tricky to gather so many monsters on them.
Anyways, I'll try your advice. Thanks. (Don't have the paralyze rune yet, though...)

You don't have to paralyze enemies. A hero will open and collect items from chests and the like from the side if the other heroes are blocking the way. Place two heroes in front of the one you want to collect the treasure. Then tell the hero in the back to take the treasure. The hero will try to get it, but will stand there waiting for your other heroes to move. Then move the hero at the other end in front of the chest; he will be transported, and the middle hero will be moved by the first one that you instructed to take the items in the chest. The first hero will then open and take the items from the side of the chest. I understand this is alot of words for a simple task, but it works everytime and you may need to use this trick again.

SPOILER!!!! "It is way easier to do!"

I just finished Trazere and I'm trying to import the characters into WOL, but it won't work for me. I don't know what to do in order to get them to transfer over!! If anyone out there has any ideas for me, I would greatly appreciate them.

P.S. Thanks to Luchsen for helping me out with the spoilers. I am quite new to these forums and I know very little about posts and their etiquette. I will try to be more cognizant in the future. :imsorry:

When I originally played Trazere/Legend and Son of the Empire back on my 486 you had to copy the Trazere save into the Son of the Empire directory (not sure what sub directory, but probably the save one). Hope that helps.

Hey, thanks for this website, this is my first post here (yay for captain obvious)

This game is one of my favorites from when I was 14 or 15 years old. Talk about rough figuring the puzzles out. I may still have the original install floppys somewhere, however my PC doesn't have a 3.5" drive anymore.

I have basic knowledge of how to use DOSbox from reading the faq's and tutorials, and have used it on quite a few games. I used to be a DOS junkiee back in "the day" man that makes me feel like I'm getting old.

I downloaded this one and extracted it, but when I try to run it in DOSBox, it tells me "Hardware configuration has changed, Please reinstall"

Does anyone know where I'm screwing up at?

I'm running DOSBox 0.73 (latest version at time of this post) and windows XP

Thanks much
-Yaz

Redownload it now, and run setup first.
