post can be completed - see posts 459 and 460. There was a peculiar bug that
wouldn't let you enter Mortyk, but I had a hunch that maybe you didn't need to
in order to finish the game. And now I know I was right.

then wait until the dungeon refills and then get it again. Only problem is you
will need to have the 'Leave The Dungeon' spell in order to get out again. You
have to fall down a trapdoor and there are no stairs out. Fortunately you can
find this spell on the 7th floor of Kolbralon (I discovered eventually). The
Nameless spell is also on the 6th floor just above it if you havn't got that one
either.

could probably get these spells from here early in the game as its not really a
difficult dungeon - say the first time you get a ship. There is also a third
dragon ring in the final hidden dungeon on the 8th level so you can get this as
your final dragon ring if you like.

bug me as much. Your supposed to purchase the Load key but I found you don't
need to. I played the whole way through without purchasing it. Though I think I
will now just out of appreciation of finally finishing this game.

of the dungeons don't really need to be completed, but you need to get plenty of
scrolls. Is it just me or is the eltam pretty useless. for infinite HP it
doesn't seem to have an effect and as a weapon, well, the magic dagger is
better. Seems like a lot of trouble for nothing. I'm sure you don't need it to
finish the game. Anyway good luck. Have a look through the previous posts for
hints and maps. I found them quite usefull, even if you have to get past the
translation issues. :)

Thx for post.
I did not notice the version post in 459 and 460.
In 2005 i found some whdload versions, but i did not know how to use it with
winuae.

Here is a little fix for the Mortyk-Bug in the English version.

copy the DT07 file (http://www.respace.de/files/dl.php?id=mortyk) (this is the
Mortyk dungon text file, it seems the bug is that Mastyk and mortyk have the
same file in eg version) from the german (de) amiga version to
...\Games\0412_dragonflight_whd\DragonflightData ( under your winuae
installation.)

Now you the Riddlemouth(s) in Mortyk ask you in German but the password Mortyk
works now. The Rest of the game is still in english.
