Wizardry 8 Hints
The guards won't let me into the Restricted Area. How do I get past them?
1 of 7: There are two entrances to Marten's Bluff. One is in the Swamp, and leads to Upper Marten's Bluff.
2 of 7: The second entrance is through the Mine Tunnels, and leads to the Restricted Area behind these guards.
3 of 7: To get to the Mine Tunnels, enter the Swamp and go as far north as you can (until you reach the river). Then follow the river until you see the bridge. Cross the bridge and follow the road north, then east. When the road forks, take the northern fork. Follow the road east to the Mine Tunnels.
4 of 7: If you entered through the Mine Tunnels and wish to get past the guards, you'll need to find a way upstairs.
5 of 7: Head back to the room with the Spawner machine, and follow a T'rang Younger through the door. Go right in this corridor and climb the ladder to the surface.
6 of 7: There is another way to sneak past the guards, but it involves a bit of cheating.
7 of 7: You can sneak past the guards in this manner: Creep up as close as possible to them, without causing them to attack. Then click the sword icon at the bottom of the screen to initiate combat, and choose "Run". When the combat round begins, make a beeline past the guards and into the corridor beyond. Do this right, and they'll never notice.
