Wizardry 8 Hints

How can I avoid the "Boffo" ending at the portal to the Cosmic Circle?

  • 1 of 8: Remember a conversation with a Savant Henchman in the Monastery? The Henchman revealed that there is a bomb concealed within the tower in Arnika. Trying to enter the Cosmic Circle without first disarming this bomb will result in the destruction of the entire planet. Obviously, this is not a good thing...in fact, it means you've lost the game. You need to find the bomb and disarm.
  • 2 of 8: You cannot enter the tower from Arnika. Perhaps the Savant's allies know of another way in.
  • 3 of 8: Have you spoken with the Rapax King yet?
  • 4 of 8: The King will reveal an alliance between himself and the Dark Savant. The portal to the tower is inside his chambers in Rapax Castle.
  • 5 of 8: Search the King's bedroom for any suspicious features.
  • 6 of 8: You will notice a tiny keyhole in the wall. The key for this hole is somewhere in the Castle.
  • 7 of 8: There is a secret passage on the roof of the Castle, in the Prince's Playroom.
  • 8 of 8: Emerging from the secret passage, you'll find a key on the table. Use this key in the King's bedroom to open the portal to the Savant's tower. All that remains is to disarm the bomb.
