Increased Constitution
Continue casting the magic arrow spell even after running out of mana. Stop
casting the spell when your character's current and maximum hit points have
increased. You character's constitution should also be increased.
More HP
Turn off visual effects in the options section under the file menu. Use a spell
that increases your health. Use it until the screen stops showing your HP. Then,
cast an attack spell (fireball, etc.) You will get a few thousand HP.
Maximum HP
Cast any spell continuously until your mana reaches approximately -8000. When
this happens the mana should stop decreasing when you cast a spell. Then, cast a
healing spell and it will add to your HP until reaching 32767. Note: If you cast
more health spells after you reach that number, your HP will turn into a
negative number.
Easy Item Finding
Create a character and select Detect Item as a first spell. Go to the dungeon,
and save the game prior to descending a level in this or any dungeon. Enter the
dungeon and cast Detect Items. If the items revealed are not desirable (spell
books, armor, weapons, money), load the saved game and repeat. Since a different
dungeon appears with each load, valuable items will eventually appear.
Easy Treasure
It is possible to save just before entering a level in order to load and reload
that next level to hunt for valuable items. The best item to hunt for is a Wand
Of Clone Monster. Save a few Wands Of Clone Monster. When you get to the levels
with Hrungnir in Castle 1, or the Giant Kings in Castle 2, clone off the Giants
however many at a time you can without getting killed in the process. When you
kill off the cloned Giant Kings, you will get enormous amounts of treasure.
Hex Editing
You can use a hex editor to hack your saved game
file. Make sure you have a calculator or something that can convert between
Decimal and Dexadecimal numbers. Create a copy of the file, and rename it. This
way if you mess up, you haven't screwed up the original. Also, if you're running
Castle of the Winds while hacking to see your progress; remember you need to
re-load the saved game after saving the hacked file to see any changes.
If you have no idea how to hex-edit a file, well, now's a good time to learn,
and what better way to learn, than to cheat?
Graphs are set like this:
[Description] - [Hex Location] - [Modifier]
The Modifier means the number in the hex location times the modifier. So if the
location reads '02' and the modifier is 'x256' then the result is 512 (2 x 256 =
512). The game adds multiple modifiers together. Simple, no?
-------------------------------------
Current HP - 94 95 - x1 x256
Maximum HP - 96 97 - x1 x256
Current Mana - 98 99 - x1 x256
Maximum Mana - 9A 9B - x1 x256
So if you wanted to have 200 HP, you would set location '96' to the hex number
C8.
If a number is greater than 255 (FF), you need to go to the next set.
Thus for 255 HP, you would set '96' to FF (255) and '97' to 00 (0).
And for 256 HP, you would set '96' to 00 (0) and '97' to 01 (1).
(255 x 1) + (0 x 256) = 255
(0 x 1) + (1 x 256) = 256
Confused yet?
Divide the amount you want by the largest, then use smaller numbers for filler.
Got it? Okay. So...
If you wanted 270 HP. 256 divides into 270 once, with a remainder of 14. So you
would set '96' to 14 and '97' to 01. Voila!
-------------------------------------------------
Note about stats: 100 is the maximum. In Hex, that's 64. It would be silly to
set it higher, because the game doesn't seem to recognize values higher than
100.
Blue STR - 80 - x1
Blue INT - 81 - x1
Blue CON - 82 - x1
Blue DEX - 83 - x1
Green STR - 84 - x1
Green INT - 85 - x1
Green CON - 86 - x1
Green DEX - 87 - x1
---------------------------------------------------------------------
There are two places to set experience. Make sure you set BOTH values to the
SAME AMOUNT!
Experience - 9E 9F A0 A1 - x1 x256 x65536 x16777216
A2 A3 A4 A5 - x1 x256 x65536 x16777216
It is probably best to check how many experience points you need for the next
level, and enter that value minus 10 to 50. That way, you can also learn new
spells and the shops will have new stuff when you gain a new level. Also, the
last number sets a HUGE amount. You probably will never need to set it at all.
Unless you are getting so high up in levels that you need 16 million points...
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Armor Class - A6 A7 - x1 x256
Normally, when you have no armor, your AC is 0. But if you set this value
yourself, and remove your armor, your 'naked' armor class will be the difference
between the set value and the value of the armor. So you don't have to worry
about re-setting the value if you equip new armor.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Copper - 742 743 744 745 - x1 x256 x65536 x16777216
Silver - 758 759 75A 75B - x1 x256 x65536 x16777216
Gold - 76E 76F 770 771 - x1 x256 x65536 x16777216
Platinum - 784 785 786 787 - x1 x256 x65536 x16777216
Remember the exchange rate if you want a certain amount.
10 Copper = 1 Silver
100 Copper = 1 Gold
1000 Copper = 1 Platinum
