The Warlock of Firetop Mountain is a video game adaptation of the gamebook 
by the same name. As in the gamebook, there are many ways to win in this 
game and way more ways to lose. Here is a step-by-step guide to beating the 
game with Alexandra of Blacksand. I'll probably add other characters later on.


-=Read this first=-
This guide gives you a step-by-step path through the Firetop Mountain, all 
the way to the Warlock Zagor.

The path is littered with fights and Skill/Luck tests that you might fail, 
but the guide assumes you win them all. In some cases, you might be able to 
fail a test and keep going all the way to the end anyway.

The only surefire way to reach Zagor is to use Free Read Mode: a cheating mode 
you can activate by talking with Oriana the SoulKeeper at the beginning of a 
new game. In this mode, you will be able to pick a "Free Choice" instead of 
actually fighting or testing your Skill/Luck. You will also sometimes be able 
to unlock options even though you do not possess the required object. 

Unfortunately, you will only earn souls from Zagor's treasure (whereas you 
normally earn some with every fight) and you will unlock no achievements.

To save some space, this guide will not mention fake choices where you are 
given only one option or all but one option are locked.

Every time this guide mentions a Bench, it means that you have three 
options in game:

* If you don't want to save and your stamina is full, ignore the bench.
* If you want to save that checkpoint and/or you have around 5 stamina 
  points to regain, simply sit down on the bench.
* If you have closer to 10 stamina points to regain (or even more), then 
  eat some of your provisions while you sit on the bench.

Zagor's Keys spawn randomly in the dungeon. You need at least one to open 
Zagor's chest and get his treasure and you might find at most three in a 
playthrough. When the guide mentions a "Zagor's Key spawn point", it means 
either I saw a key spawn there on one of my playthrough or the place is 
mentioned in this helpful discussion thread started by LoreDeluxe: 
http://steamcommunity.com/app/324740/discussions/0/343788552547845189/
Unfortunately, there is no way to force a key to spawn, not even in Free 
Read Mode.

With all those caveats out of the way, I wish you good luck and great fun 
on your journey, adventurer!

-=Alexandra of Blacksand part 1=-
Note that this guide is very specifically for the character Alexandra of 
Blacksand. It will not work well for other characters because they will 
sometimes get completely different choices in the dungeon.

-=First Level Maze=-
Here I cannot give you a simple step-by-step, because the maze is 
randomly generated every playthrough...

Here is what you need to know (all else you need is real life luck):

What you need to do is:
* Find and kill the Minotaur to get his crystal shard
* Find and give gold to the grieving orc to get a handle
* Use the handle to lower the goblin's cage
* Kill the caged goblin to get his crystal shard
* Slot the 2 shards in the plinth at the maze entrance

I have no way to tell in what order you will stumble upon the following 
rooms (and maybe I have yet to stumble upon them all), but here is my 
advice for each of them:

* Caged goblin: leave him alone until you have the Minotaur's shard and 
  the handle to get him down, then kill him, get his shard and get out of 
  the maze.

* Dead Ogre's wake: ask the orc what is wrong, give him some gold and he 
  will give you the handle necessary to lower the goblin's cage.

* Minotaur: you have to fight him to get a crystal shard 
  (and maybe a Zagor's Key)

* Ghostly hands: there are 2 rooms like this in the maze. One of them will 
  let you run through unharmed, the other will hurt your stamina and force 
  you to fight the hands anyway.

* Giant rats: nothing to do here but fight the rats.

* Statue of Sindla: the statue holds a genie you can try to release by making 
  a wish... it will fail no matter what you ask for, so you can ignore it or 
  have fun asking for something different each time.

Another thing to note is that Oriana will force you to save between the two 
levels of the maze and give you 10 stamina.

-=Second Level Maze=-
The second level maze is as random as the first, but much gentler.

You start in the room of the Maze master. Demand that he answers your questions 
and he will give you a 1-dot skull and ask you for a 400 scroll.

The procedure is pretty simple, though it requires exploring the maze randomly:
* Find the door with the same number of dots as your current skull
* Open the door with your current skull
* Behind the door, if you find another skull, go to step 1, if you find the 
  400 scroll, go to step 4
* Go back to the Maze master and give him the 400 scroll

One thing to note: somewhere in the maze, you might run into Mathos the Fool. 
If you give him 3 gold pieces and trust him, he will change your current skull
by painting dots on it. This might get you to the scroll much faster 
(it did on all my playthroughs so far).

Also, the pit is a lie. Do not walk around it.

-=The End=-
* Bench
* Follow the passageway
* Drink a Potion of Fire Protection (- Potion of Fire Protection)
* Use Di Maggio’s Dragonfire spell 
  (req. Dragonfire Spell, Zagor’s Key spawn point)
* Stride confidently down the hallway
* Fight the SKELETON GUARDS
* Knock on the door and enter, greeting the old man courteously
* Test Your Skill
* Hold out the Eye of the Cyclops to Zagor

Congratulations! You have beaten the Warlock of Firetop Mountain, exactly as 
Kith told you to.

Now you can use the Zagor's Keys you found on the chest and decide whether to 
become the next warlock or go back to Kith and move on.
