Arx Fatalis Hints
Chicken Cheat
This cheat is rather involved. After escaping your cell in the Goblin Prison, you'll enter a room containing a table and a chair. In the corner of the room are two bones. Pick up the left bone and use it (by double-clicking) on the chair ten times to activate the cheat. In addition to placing all of the runes in your spellbook, this cheat will deposit some interesting items in your inventory, including Ylside Armor, a bow, a meteor saber, a ring, and four icons. You'll see two icons which look a bit like scuba tanks, as well as a chicken icon and one which resembles the Windows recycle bin. Using the icons can have strange effects:
- Use any item on the recycle bin icon to permanently delete it. (Not recommended!)
- Use the recycle bin icon on the chicken to read different notes which can be found in the game.
- Use the scuba tank icons on the recycle bin icon to activate a teleporter to either the first or seventh level, depending on which icon is used. Clicking on the stair symbol which appears on the screen will transport you to that level.
- Use the ring on the icons repeatedly to acquire some (apparently random) items.
