Might and Magic IX Hints
Notes and Extras
1 of 4: Watch out for monsters "regenerating" after you kill them. Some of them (especially Skeleton Warriors and Zombies) come back in a flash of green energy, and you have to take them down again.
2 of 4: If you want to skip all the tough Apparitions that appear as you make your way down the ledge in the big outdoor chasm area, just cast Feather Fall and fall straight on down. (Then climb back up as far as you need to if you're going after the Lich Instructions.) Of course, you'll have to fight or dodge the Apparitions on the way back out if you don't use a spell to teleport away.
3 of 4: There are lots of treasure chests in the three areas accessible from the huge open-air chasm (including the northern section, which has no quest items).
4 of 4: You can use the flip-trap that's near the north end of the south section (the one with the Crona Kiga) to flip yourself into a secret alcove. Step cautiously forward to activate the trap, then back up quickly. After it flips, go stand on it. When it de-flips, you'll end up in a small square room. Use the west wall to open up a panel with a black chest behind it. The chest requires a Disarm Trap skill of 16 (level 7 master or level 8 expert) to open safely. To get back out, look carefully on the south wall for a button to press.
