Might and Magic VIII: Day of the Destroyer Hints

I found two rooms, one worthless and one that blasts me. What now?

  • 1 of 7: The worthless-looking room has a secret panel in the east wall that opens to reveal a treasure chest.
  • 2 of 7: However, it's not the one with the Drum of Victory.
  • 3 of 7: To get to that, you have to go to the other room and hit the button there, even if you do get viciously Fireballed when you do.
  • 4 of 7: If you can't cast Telekinesis on the button from a safe distancee, then heal up, cast Fire Resistance, save your game, and go press it up close.
  • 5 of 7: Then heal up again and go back to the hexagonal room you passed through before.
  • 6 of 7: Pressing the Fireballing button lowers a chest in the middle of that room.
  • 7 of 7: Open it to reveal the Drum of Victory and maybe a random artifact. (You should save before opening in case you don't get the artifact. Usually, restoring and trying again will get you one, though you can't change the artifact type that way.)
