Quest for Glory 5: Dragon Fire Hints

I need help fighting the Centaur Wizard!

  • 1 of 9: You can learn from this wizard.  Watch how he handles this battle.
  • 2 of 9: He keeps his distance, casting Reversal before his Lightning bolts.  Thus, thrown spells just come back at you!
  • 3 of 9: If you can get close enough, he can be damaged with a blade.
  • 4 of 9: Make sure you cast Reversal and keep it active all the time.
  • 5 of 9: Arm yourself with a dagger and cast Zap.
  • 6 of 9: Try casting Trigger when he begins casting spells at you.
  • 7 of 9: When he is at the top of one of the staircases, cast Dazzle.  Notice how he pauses -- just enough time for you to run up to him and strike.
  • 8 of 9: He will dart back and forth between all four corners during the fight.  Wait until he is at a reachable location, at the top of some stairs.
  • 9 of 9: Hit him enough times with a Zapped weapon and he will fall.
