Fountain Of Dreams save format

Here is the save file format for Fountain Of Dreams.

===========================================================================

*NB* I wrote these up years ago, when I planned on doing a
     character editor (never did write it) so If you dont
     understand some of my notes, drop me a line.

        also, careful how you play with things neh?
        coz I bummped up my stats n weapons n shit and i remember
        that i had a 20minute battle against 1 snake and i was using
        grenades, flamethrowers and everything, so becarefule what
        you change, the results can be..... _very_ unpredictable.

If anyone uses these stats to make an editor, I'd like a copy smile

        Game : Fountain of Dreams
        Type : SavefileCharacter Editor Techspecs
        Date : July 15th 1990

the save game files are actually the files

                DISK1.
                DISK2.
                DISK3.
                DISK4.

backup those four files BEFORE you play the game, then restore them
so no need to re-install


Savefile Layout

Char offsets = 003a, 0186, 02d2, 041e, 056a
        to work out xx offset for char Z then formula is
        character_offset_Z - ch_off_1 + item_offset
        eg:  2D2 - 3A + 57 = Charisma offset for character 3

[*]-[*]-[*]-[*]-[*]-[*]-[*]-[*]-[*]-[*]-[*]-[*]-[*]-[*]-[*]-[*]-[*]-[*]-[*]-[*]




0. INTROD.
  If you loved Pool then you'll love Curse even more.  Its a big improvement
over Pool and it even has a FIX command.  Some encounters are not listed as its
too much piss farten around to see if an encounter is random or set.


PARTY CONSTRUCTION.
  For this game I used the following brave adventurers; Dwarven Male
FighterThief, Human Female Paladin, Human Male Cleric, Human Male Cleric,
Human Female Mage, Human Male Mage.  Avoid using multi-class characters, while
they are good to start with it takes too long to build up good magicians and
clerics which you need.  I chose to use human classes over other classes as
they are supposed to have unlimited advancement, but of course this is not so
in this game.  Make sure you have a female in your party as she will be very
handy later on in the game.

  When constructing a party you should seriously consider including a Paladin
as they have Protection From Evil spells around them, can turn undead, heal,
cure and cast clerical spells at higher levels.

Fighters: Only good when they are of Dwarven make.  They get Hit Point bonuses
  if they have a constitution of 17+.  They can use any armour and weild most
  weapons.

Paladins: Only humands can be Paladins.  Great character type.  Can Heal, Cure,
  Turn undead and cast clerical spells once they reach a high level.  They have
  Protection from Evil spells permenantly cast opon them.  They can wear any
  armour and weild most weapons.

Rangers: Kind of like a hybrid clericmagician for plants.  Most spells have
  something to do with nature.  I think they are a shit class to be used in
  Curse, but that is my opinion (of which there is a lot through out this
  file.) They get HP bonuses with a constitution of 17+ and they can use most
  weapons and armour.

Clerics: No party should be without one.  Can do the churchy type spells.
  Oopps, prayers I should say.  They are excellent healers and not much else.
  They do not have to find or buy prayers in order to know them.  All spells in
  there grimoire are there opon level advancement.  They can use most armour
  and some weapons.

Magicians: Pretty much like Gods on two legs, especially the very high level
  ones.  These guys do the destructive stuff and leave the healing crap to the
  clerics.  Major drawback is that they can wear no armour and weak weapons
  like daggers, darts and saffs.  (You have to stock them up on Bracers, rings
  of protection and cloaks of displacement and stuff like that.)

Thievs: The extraperceptionary characters, they can detect traps and pick
  locks, hide in the shadows, etc...  They can only use one handed weapons and
  leather armour.  You never know when one might come in handy (As some folk
  found out in Pool when tackling Cadornas Textile House ];-)

  Beware also of falling into the Human Class Change trap.  While it sounds
great there are some drawbacks that you should have noted assuming you read the
manual carefully.

1.  You can't use the skills of the previous class until the current class
   level surpasses the previous class level by one.  EG: FighterCleric must
   have a cleric level of one higher than the fighter, so it must be like 9/10
   or 10/11.

2.  Dual class magicians can't cast spells while wearing armour.  So its not
   much point in having a FighterMagician.  But you can have a FighterCleric.

3.  Its not worth changing class as it takes a long time to build up your
   characters again to a higher level than the previous class.

4.  Until your second class level surpasses your first class level you do not
   gain hit points, even though you can still advance levels.


SAVING
  Make use of your saved game spots, Its good to make the first save in the
list your start save, that is every time you set foot in a new maze save
immediatly and then use your other save spots as intermediate spots.


** P.S.  This game took me a while to map, and I'm bloody glad the mazes are
        not as complex as the Bards Tale or Wizardry series.....


MAPS
  This solution only covers the main maps to complete the game, as such the
Tower of Oxam is not included.  But if you want to find it go to DaggerFalls
and search the area.  You will find a Magic Shop which sells goods cheaper than
anywhere else.  The shopkeeper will tell you where the tower is.  Its tough,
home of the High Imperceptor (Zhents) as well as the Mulmaster beholder corps.
There is a mega big battle with rackshasa, hell hounds and beholders so
beware.....


1. TILVERTON : 1 Level Town, 1 Level Thieves Guild
  Ahhh, waking up in Tilverton, the sleepy Cormyrian town just south of
Shadowdale you realise sombody put a bit of body art in blue decorative tatts
on your arms, and in Alias' tracks (If you have read the book you basically
know what to do.) you must find out about the tatts and how to get rid of them.
Maybe a priest can cast a remove curse spell?  Maybe you should just booze up
at the pub and sleep like a bear in winter.  Our story begins......

  Tool up at the shop, then go visit the priest.  Have a booze up at the pub
then go visit Filani the Sage and tell the truth.  Go back to the inn, rest,
heal, memorise and save.  Now try and leave and you should run into Giogioni
Wyvernspur doing another good impersonation of King Azoun.  Shit on the guards,
and then shit on another wave.  Now head for the nearest alley and follow the
thief.

  Go through the Tilverton thieves guild and go to the treasure room, Here you
will get some dust (Its Dust of Dissappearance), you should save this for the
end fight (Unless of course you are a masochist).  Now make your way to one of
the exits.


LEGEND:
        -- OR | = Wall....
        D OR DD = Door....
        S OR SS = Secret Door....
        T OR TT = Trap....
        # OR ## = Inacessable parts....
        = OR == = Rubble or ruins....
        < OR >
       / OR / = ONE WAY WALLS ALLOWABLE DIRECTION WITH ARROWS
                  ONE WAY DOORS ALLOWABLE DIRECTION WITH ARROWS

NB: When I draw my maps out on graph paper I always try and start at the bottom
   of the paper.....  So the N,S,E,W sign does not always have N at the top...

2. TILVERTON SEWERS : 1 Level sewer
  Starting at 0,4 Make your way up through the sewers stopping off at all the
points on the map.  The trolls and Neo-Otyugh are tough battles.  If you need
to advance, then stop off at the secret Thievs Guild Training Hall.  When you
meet the Knight of Myth Drannor tell him that you are either a friend of the
princess or that you have allegience to no one.  (I think that was an option),
either way he should let you pass.

3. FIRE KNIVES GUILD : 1 Level Thieves Guild
  This place has a few secret doors, somtimes the door appears on one side of
the wall, but not on the other side.  There is also one one-way door that I
know of.  This place is pretty easy as there are few battles, and then they
only consist of 6 or 8 Fire Knives.  Make your way to point 1 and wait for the
blades to stop, now continue on to point 2 and interrogate the nice
co-operative folks for some information.  At point 3 attack to gain the
surprise and rescue the cleric, friend to the Knight of Myth Drannor.  Go to
point 4 for some information, then on to point 5, 6, 7 and 8. Save your game,
get healed and spelled up.  Now enter the door to point 9 and face the leader
of the Fire Knives, Princess Naccacia (I think she is a thief by trade) and the
Wyvenspur fop, Giogi.  Slaughter the thieves and the Zhentish fiend and watch
the ending.  See the bond dissappear?  Now you have to kill the other masters
of your bonds.....

4. OVERLAND MAP.
  This is the first time you will be going overland, and because you can go in
many directions I'll give you some general advice.  Go to all the places on the
map.  At this stage DO NOT ENTER Yulash, Zhentil Keep or Hap just yet.  Go to
all the towns pubs and listen to gossip.  Travel by the wilderness and the
roads to discover some locations, items, and fights.  Travel around the
overland gaining experience until your characters are around level 7 or 8.

  Go to the Standing stone where a mysterious mentor will direct you to go
towards Hap.  Make sure you are fully healed up.


5. VILLAGE OF HAP : 1 Level small village
  This is where you will run into lots of Dark Elf patrols.  Don't take any
Dark Elf equipment as it disintergrates in sunlight, so don't be caught
weaponless or armourless.  Go to location 3 and meet Akbar Bel Akash the
greengrocer (he he he) and allow him to join the party.  Walk around town and
fight about 7 or 8 Dark Elf patrols using location 3 as a base.  After you have
killed of the patrols head for the barn, which is location number 4. Here you
will meet the Efreet and about 3 Dark Elves.  Kill them and you will get a map
that will lead you to the cave of Hap.

6. DARK ELF CAVERN : 1 Level Volcanic Cave
  Before you can even take a step inside you'll be attacked by a group of
Salamanders.  First off, go around the corner in a southerly direction and meet
up with the Swanmays.  If you have a woman in your party she will recieve the
mark of the Swanmays as well as a special quest.  When you find the room full
of Salamanders, parlay slyly and you can open all six chests for some items and
mucho exps.  Now run along and earn some experience points by killing off the

Drow Fighters, the Drow Clerics and then the Drow Mages.  Standing outside the
door to point number 7, heal up and get enspelled for a battle with some
Efreets.  Follow the corridor around the corner to the point 8, jump in feet
first and kill off the guards and salamanders.  Heal, spell up, save and get
ready to face Crimdrac the Dracholich, hes no Thiszult, Rauglothgor or
Aghaztamn but hes still tough.  Get close and surround him from all sides and
hack away.  Becareful which spells you cast as he's immune to some, plus the
confined area.

7. TOWER OF DRACANDROS :  5 Level Tower

TOWER OF DRACANDROS : LEVEL 5.
  At the top of the tower you can either attack Dracandros or Parly nicely with
dragons as both will achieve the same result.  Take out the Efreets and Drow.
Here you should rest up and save before going down the stairs.

TOWER OF DRACANDROS : LEVEL 4
  As soon as you come down the stairs you will be attacked by a Drow Fighter.
He is very tough.  Get close to him and hack away as well as cast spells like
Lightning and Magic Missles, etc as other spells are ranged and will help him
finish you off.  Make sure you take his Plate Mail +4 and Shield +2.  Go to
point 4 which is the Trial of the Sphere.  Let Akabar do this for you.  Don't
panic when it starts getting close as will move away and wipe out the other
guy.  Now collect some nice treasure.  Go back to point 3 if you want to play
with some Wyverns, nasty stuff them so get your group into position and guard
until they come at you.  Spell them and hack away.  Exit down the stairs to
level 3.

TOWER OF DRACANDROS : LEVEL 3
  Not much on this level.  The Dark Elf warrior is an illusion.  Before the
exit is some Owlbears and a few Drow fighters.  Chew-em-up and spit-em-out so
you can get to level 2.

  Ahhh, this is what I like, another small level with nothing happening.  Don't
pickup the paper, its a bomb.  Go to point 2 and find the pool, delve into the
bottom to retrieve Silks pod and then go to Dracandros' chambers and search for
some booty, then hit the stairs down.

TOWER OF DRACANDROS : LEVEL 1
  Hey, another level with nothing happening.  Walk around to the first door
then go straight ahead, confrot the Wyverns and heal up cause behind door
number 1 is the infamous Dracandros.  Wipe out everybody with the usual
tactics, but DON'T try and hit Dracandros with melee weapons.  Hit him only
with missile weapons and spells because he will cast a fireshield opon himself.
What?  Don't know what a Fireshield is?  Well, whatever damage you do to him
will be done to you in return but double.  So if you hit him for 25hps you will
automatically lose 50hps, but this only works on melee weapons....  Snatch his
loot, wands especially as there is a wand of Icestorm and one of Fireballs.
Exit to the caves and give the pod to Silk, collect the treasure and head for
the standing stone.

8. YULASH : 1 Level City
  Travel from Hap to the Standing stone and talk with your mysterious mentor
who will direct you to "Seek Green to the NW".  Head for Yulash where you can
have a mass orgy with the curvy cultists of Moander.

  Ahh, what a lovely place, we got the Plumes, the Zhents, Mounds, Looters and
Cultists...  The best thing to do is to ask permission to enter, talk sly and
go with the guards.  You will find yourselves outside the captains room, walk
to the door and you will run into some Zhentish pigs.  Kill the Zhents and talk
nice to the Commander (Who should notice that you have one of the Swanmays in
your party.....) he will give you free run of the ruins as well as the mess
hall and the sleeping quarters.

  First off, heal and spell up then head out the front door and straight down
the corridor, round the corner and down to point 6 on the map, obviously you
will have to fight of Zhents and Shambling mounds which are pretty tough.  Pop
into the room round the corner and heal up.  Now proceed to point 7 and kill
the Shambling Mounds, this will let you get your hands on a wand of defoilation
and a wand of lightning bolts.  The wand of defoilation is VERY effective on
mounds but save this for later when your inside the Pit of Moander.  Now go to
point 7 near the north wall and enter the Pit of Moander......

PIT OF MOANDER : LEVEL 2
  At point 2 examine the Zhent to find some information.  Proceed down to point
3 where you will find some cultists and slugs.  Attack for surprise and make a
meal out of them.  Proceed straight down the end of the corridor to point 4,
but before you enter the door heal, spell and save.  This next attack comes in
2 waves.  First you will be attacked by Mogion, Cultists, Shambling Mounds and
maybe even vegipygmies.  Save your Wand of Defoilation.  Before you end this
battle use heal spells and potions as the next battle starts straight away.
This time you will face 3 Bit'O'Moanders.  This is where you use your wand of
defoilation.  Go and search behind the altar to find Mogions stash.  Now
somehow, heal and spell up.  Run for the stairs at point 1 like a madman
possessed.

PIT OF MOANDER : LEVEL 1
  Go to point 4 and evade the slugs then head on to point 3. This is where the
cultists will make a last ditch attempt to stop the "Chosen Ones".  Now exit
out into the wilderness.  Camp and heal up.


                          See Map for Level 1.



10. ZHENTIL KEEP : 1 Level pigsty of goatbangers from hell.
  Travel from Yulash to the Stone, just to be told to seek "Black to the north"
which means you got to go to the Zhentillar stronghold.  (Mulmaster comes in
later)
  Beware of HighPriests they cast Fireshield spells on themselves.  Pretty
straight forward solution open to you (unlike me who had to map the thing).
  From the enterence head up around the alleyways to point 11 where you will
meet Olive Ruskettle.  Read the journal entries and follow her into the temple.
She will lead you to the cell of Dimswart the sage.  Read his journal entry and
take him with you.  Go into the room next door to point 15 and look in the
mirrors a few times, then exit the room and into the room in front of your
face, put search on and go to the west wall.  Now your in the main chapel.
Again put search on and find the trapdoor.  It is trapped so use a detect
spell.  Inside is a Wand of Paralysation.  Now go to the west wall and go down
the side until you meet a Medusa.  Follow her, its your only way out.  She will
deposit you at the feet of Dexam......  (Have not figured out how to get into
the room behind the magic shop, even though there are three doors into
it?????????)

11. DEXAMS SHRINE : 1 Level dungheap of a mixed breed.
  What?  Whaddaya mean Journal entry 59.  I don't have a Journal Enrty 59.
Damn you Electronic Arts Australia.  So much for quality control.....  You
didn't even give me a complete Adventurers Journal...  Argggghhhhhhhh......
  Whoa, I have just finished mapping it, and by God it one hard place.  Save
very often.  I garuntee you will loose at least one character to Death if you
are not careful when you fight HighPriests...
  First off you will meet Dexam the Beholder, then Fzoul and then you will lose
another Bond.  Now for the hard part, escape.  Travel out the door to the north
and make your way down to point 3 where you will find te remains of an Elven
fighter, this will give you a map (Journal Entry) as well as being able to use
the Area Option, also you should find some treasure.  Now go from the bootom,
up around the side and along the tope to point 5 where you will find Dexam, a
Medusa and some Minotaurs.  Get into close range to Dexam and hack away as he
alone can wipe out your party.  Now travel down to point 6 and to the Exit at
7. Outside you will meet Olive Ruskettle as well as see Nacacia in the
background.  At this point in time I have no idea what she is doing in it,
maybe she is a Harper????

12. MYTH DRANNOR : 1 Level Cemetary (Thank Mystra is not as hard as Valhingen)
  Go to the Standing Stone where you will find that your helpfull friend is
actually Tyranthraxus in disguise.  He will tell you to seek him in Myth
Drannor.  Go to Myth Drannor and enter the city.
  If you wish not to fight Thri-Kreen patrols, parlay and give the word
Tyranthraxus and they will let you go.
  First thing to do is go to point 1 and greet the elven spirit, and in turn
she will tell you of a Thri-Kreen secret.  Go around the corner to point 2
where you will meet some more Knights of Myth Drannor.  Go to point 3 and talk
to the elven spirit of Princess DameirDemeaur(SP) and she will give you her
blessing.  Advanve down to point 13 and 14.  Replace the skeletons back in the
graves.  Not go to point 4 where you will meet a Red Plume.  Now, how could a
Red Plume have ancestors burried in an Elven Graveyard???  Accept and follow
him to a grave where he will show you his tru nature.  Put the skeleton back in
the grave.  Do not loot any bodies or else you won't get some valuable treausre
later on.  Go to point 6 and bury the skeleton.  At point 7 and 8 are nests of
spiders.  Go to point 9 where you will be invited to speak with the Queen.  Go
through the doors and talk with the Queen who will notice you have a Swanmay in
your party.  She will give you some weapons to help defeat Tyranthraxus.  At
point 12 you will meet the Nameless Bard.  Point 15 houses some Thri-Kreen
guards and a cache of weapons and money.  Go back to where you recieved the
Princesses blessing and walk through the trees next to the wall and you will
find yourself in the Ruins of Myth Drannor.

13. MYTH DRANNOR : 1 Level Ruins.
  Right about now I started to get very bored with mapping, which wasn't helped
by the fact that three quarters of the walls in this maze are ruins and can be
walked through, so where most walls appear on the map, they can be walked
through.  I also left out 1 or 2 encounters because I was eager to finish the
game.  Parlay Haughtily with patrols and they will let you pass, else Parlay
slyly and pay a tithe.
  First off you should meet a Rackshasa who will tell you about a gambling
habbit and a treasure trove.  Follow him around the corner where you will
confronted by another Rackshasa.  Ally yourself against Birsheya then go
through the dooe with Search on to find the treasure.  Head down the path to
point three where you will meet a frightened man.  Rescue him and he will tell
you where the treasure is.  Walk through the wall to find a gambling den.  At
point 6 Nameless will pop up again.  The treasure is at point 5, you must have
search on to find it.  At point 7 a deal will be struck by a Rackshasa if you
are confident enough.  At point 8, its a trap, you will be attacked by a
Rackshasa and some margoyles.

14. MYTH DRANNOR : 1 Level Temple.
  This is another "I just want to finish the game" level.  Few encounters are
marked on the map.  You start out being called in and have to sit through a
length "Hit Enter" key story sequence.  Sooner or later you gain control and
find yourselves inside a church style layout.  Run out the door to points 3 and
4, this will wipe out most of the margoyle and hellhound attacks.  Go to point
1 which are the stairs.  This appears to be a two level structure but the maze
is all on one map so I left it at one level.  The stairs will leave you point
2. Run round to point 5, but before you go in the door camp and use the Dust of
Dissapearance on the party.  Go in and confront Tyranthraxus.  He is a Storm
Giant with an AC of -5 and 100 HPs.  Tough.  Hack, Spell and shit on the
Margoyles and HighPriests.  Don't forget to take out Tyranthraxus.  Fingers
crossed that you have all three talismans otherwise you can't win.......

15. END
  Now you can save you game and remove your characters so you can play the next
installment in the saga "Secret of the Silver Blades" where our good budy
Tyranthraxus makes a cameo appearance as Tyranthraxus (or The DreadLord I
think) See you in the next SSI chronical......
