Apparently this walkthrough was posted on Sega's web page a long time ago. -- Aragorn DARK WIZARDTM SEGA CD GENERAL BATTLE TACTICS AND INFORMATION During battle, try and create a massive line so that the enemy has to attack you from the front. This will allow you to surround the enemy while you SUMMON, HIRE, or PLACE more troops. Make sure you have a higher humanoid-to-monster ratio. The humanoid troops have more potential power (whether in magic or combat) than monsters at higher levels. HOW TO SUMMON, HIRE, AND PLACE TROOPS First make sure the Ruler you select is situated on the home castle. Next, move the hexagon cursor next to the Ruler. Then, press BUTTON C to get the options HIRE, SUMMON, and/or PLACE. Note:PLACE only appears during of past the second battle according to the characters started out with or created from the first battle. BATTLEFIELD SCREEN The Battlefield Screen consist of three windows: The Battlefield, Upper, and Lower Window. BATTLEFIELDThis window takes up to 80% of your screen. This screen grants WINDOWyou access to UNIT MEMBERS, HEX MARKER (or Hexagon Cursor), CASTLE, and VILLAGE (cities, towns, villages, etc...). VILLAGE:Move a humanoid character onto it, then select ENTER to explore the village. Villages are a good source of clues, as well as items, and sometimes for recruiting more humanoid characters. HEX MARKER:This Hexagonal Cursor is used for viewing a troops stats. Choose (using your D-pad) a UNIT MEMBER to move, and to attack an enemy. CASTLE:This place is very important to a Ruler. A Ruler must be within a Castle to HIRE, SUMMON, or PLACE. If a CASTLE is occupied by an enemy UNIT MEMBER, youll automatically loose the present battle scenario. UPPER WINDOWThis window, located in the upper right screen area, shows the amount of Free Castles/Occupied Castles (i.e. CSTL 15/32), Free Cities/Occupied Cities (i.e. CITY 25/55), Current Income (i.e. INCM 755), and Current Funds (i.e. G 2500). NOTE: Current Income depends on how many cities are ENTERed. LOWER WINDOWThis window is located directly below the UPPER WINDOW. It displays the Rulers Current Magic Points (i.e. M. P. 550), The Rulers Maximum Magic Points (i.e. MAX 600), and the Month and Day (i.e. Cela 25). Also, this window displays the Number in Unit and Alignment (i.e. NO. 1 [L] ), Character Name or Creature Type (i.e. Drag Pup or Wildman), Hit Points (i.e. 110/200), Level/Experience Points (i.e. LV / EXP), and Current Status (i.e. Normal, Confused, Paralyzed, etc...). IMPORTANT!!:DARK WIZARD is game that consists of a mixture of battle/strategy and Role Playing aspects. In other words, you cannot beat the game by only accomplishing battles; during those battle, you must ENTER villages, cities, and towns to find clues, quests, and game-generated characters to join your party. GAMERs NOTES:The following information is broken up into four parts; Krystals, Armer IXs, Robins, and Amons quest. Take note that certain information in one quest is sometimes not listed in other quests.
