- Just wanted to let you know a little something.  I guess it would
- best be called some simple advice.   Please (for your sake in the future
- of your UW gameplay) don't kill off everything in the Abyss.
- 
- Surely it is possible to obtain many neat items and some experience points
- from killing everything off, but it really should be your main priority to
- map out the areas of each level (using that convenient automap feature)
- and to talk (that's those lips not the sword icon) to the inhabitants.
- 
- The information gained from your conversations will allow you to solve 
- the game.  In some instances it is necessary to backtract through
- the Abyss to find creatures who have either more information or 
- items to give to you.  You probably know this already, but I just 
- wanted to stress the importance of all this to you.  BTW some of
- the conversations are downright enteraining... kinda...  8)
- 
- The shrine can be found (from memory unfortunately) on the first level
- in the South East of the level.  The room is across from the tall platforms
- which are above water.  The door is opened by pressing a button on the opposi
- side of the cavern as the door is on.   The room is shaped like the Ankh.
- 
- >I'm also having trouble on L.2 with that damned gazer, but I imagine a 
- >visit to the shrine will cure that...
- 
- The shrine visit will most likely aid you yes.  If you have seen the 
- Gazer on level 2 I would highly suggest to you to check out the
- area which you entered level 2.  I am guessing that you didn't fall
- down through the goblin area and indeed walked down the stairs from
- level 1.  
- 
- Go back to the stairs and search opposite the direction from which
- you came.  I think that would be toward the North East (ponder)
- and there is a shrine out there.
- 
- >Thanx for any help...
- >Oh, and any/all helpful mantras are appreciated, as well as cheats...
- 
- I have the walkthrough still in my directory if you would like it.  It is
- the one written up in GameBytes.  Just send me email and it's yours.  origina
- author my apologies...
- 
- One more quick thought.  With that fun hack and slash mentaliity out of your
- system now having killed off the goblins.  You may wish to restart your
- game.  Just a thought.  I am not sure what will become of your character
- flags when you genocide a populations... but hey it's your choice.
- 
- I usually genocide the whole ENTIRE abyss if I get realllly pissed off with 
- the game and I need to blow off a little steam.   8)
- 
- well good luck....  s.   anyone have a U7 walkthrough... it will be posted a 
- later... but this s for nwo .

They attacked me first. I had absolutely NO food, and was starving. It 
was my only recourse. You've obviously solved it, so I ask you this:
I have no intent of killing off any other race, (They attacked ME) but is 
there any info I should need from them later on? I don't want to know 
what, I just want to know, for I don't wanna start all over. If I have 
to, can you recommend a character class? I like the paladin, (I am one 
now) but he can't carry ANYTHING. It appears the ST, INT, and DX values 
are fixed for each character, and 15 ST is no good.
Thanx.
