You will find that the walkthrough itself is rather short, because it is basically a surviving game, its difficulty coming from the dungeon design and monsters and not from an excessive storyline or puzzle solving. The following part is a step-by-step guide mentioning the things you have to do in the dungeons in order to win the game and beat Mangar. As soon as the monster groups roaming Skara Brae at night are no longer a match for your party, you are ready for the real fun.

Don't forget to buy better equipment from time to time. If you are lucky your party members will raise in levels and be able to walk around the town, killing enemies in the streets and houses quite easily. Keep fighting small groups of easy enemies and visit temples often. First or second level characters should not even think of fighting a group of barbarians. Often it is wiser to run away from a fight. Also at the beginning it is very importing not to overestimate your characters' strength. The best strategy is to search for monsters near a temple, because it is essential to visit temples regularly, spending the gold getting after killing enemies to heal your characters. Now you are surely eager to kill a first group of monster scum. Buy some basic weapons and armor for your party members. Your first action should be a visit at Garth's Equipment Shoppe. Thus the first part of the walkthrough gives basic surviving tips for fresh characters. The beginning is one of the hardest parts of the game. Most of the time you will spend walking through the streets and already explored dungeons, fighting hundreds of monsters in order to improve your characters. Unlike newer RPGs it is not enough to just follow the storyline. You start the game in the Adventurer's Guild of the town of Skara Brae, located on Main Street.
