Arx Fatalis Hints
Okay, whatever, just show me the cheats!
If you just want to gain the advantage of improved arms and armor in the very beginning of the game try using the Chicken Cheat.
In addition to the chicken cheat, there are several secret runes which are cast just like ordinary spells, but confer a specific advantage upon your character. In the description of each cheat you'll see a drawing of the runes required to cast it. The red "X" in the drawings indicates where to begin drawing the rune. Note that some of these cheats cannot be reversed once used. Also, some of these cheats seem to have no beneficial effect that I can discern.
See the pictures of the runes, which are required to use the cheats, below. Note that each rune must be traced with a single continuous line, beginning at the red "X" marked in the drawing.
