MAGIC
To learn magic you must find magic crystals. [To find the first one. Find the
fisherman and cross the shallow water. You will come to a tower. There is a
magic crystal on the top of the tower.] The new spell will either be added to
your equip menu, under magic, or go directly to the magic menu, depending of
the type of spell learned.
Offensive Magics:
--------------------
Fire Ball (fire) - throws a fireball
Wind Cutter (wind) - casts a small clutter that slices
Fire Wall (fire) - creates pillars of fire around victims
Lightning Vold (light) - casts a lightning volt from the sky
Defensive Magics:
---------------------
Earth Heal (earth) - recovers lost HP
Dispoison (water) - cures poison
Light (light) - illumates dark areas for a short time
Certain sword are fused with magic allowing the wielder to cast up to 2
different powerful magics per sword using certain button combos. Your strength
& magic must be greater than 60 to summon this hidden power.
ADVISE
Helpful Hints:
1. Fighting - Attack & retreat, attack & repeat. Use R1/L1 to get behind enemy
so you can attack safely.
2. Once you find a "Gate" and a "Gate Key" of the same type find a guidepost.
Use your key in front of the guide post. Now, if you get lost use the gate
and you will be transported to the guidepost you left the key in. This item
used 10 MP. There are 3 pairs of Keys & Gates.
3. Don't attack from the front!
4. Learn the length of the sword you are using. Each is different.
5. Learn to find good combinations of magic & sword. A weak magic can at least
stop the enemy from attacking.
6. Don't fight enemys with higher levers. You will encounter creature you may
never beat! Go around them and kill them later in the game.
7. Run by pressing the >< button. You can't attack when you run.
8. You will run into many traps. Look for a switch to turn it off.
9. There are many hidden doors. Press the >< button as you walk. You may find
a hidden doorway.
10. While looking for hidden doors you may find traps too.
11. King's Field is huge. You can get lost very easily. Be careful until you
get a Gate & a Key.
12. Each area is separated by a big door. Make sure your levels are strong
enough to go to the next area.
13. If you have the "Image of Sieth", and have a certain pendant equipped, the
Image of Sieth dies in place of you when you die by a trap or monster.
14. Keys are very important. If you sell a key you may miss a part of the
game.
15. There are 2 ways to finding the correct use of an item. Ask the fortune
teller or the truth glass.
16. Crystal shards are another form of cash. Crystals, on the other hand, can
be used to create Crystal Flakes for carring healing waters.
This is a pretty good game. It looks like it will take ages to complete.
You can spend hours in a small room. There is a King's Field FAQ on the net if
you need more help.
