Report: Mastering the Labyrinth – A Strategic Walkthrough of Wizardry: The Five Ordeals

Step 2: The First Dungeon (Slums)

  • Goal: Find the stairs down.
  • Enemies: Weak slimes, rats, and goblins.
  • Strategy: Use your Mage's Katino (Sleep) spell if overwhelmed. Have your Priest cast Dios (Heal) after fights to save money on the Inn.
  • Mapping: The game has an auto-map, but you must explore to fill it. Stick to the right wall to find the stairs down (B2).

Ordeal III: The Caverns of Shadows

  • Location: The Caverns of Shadows are located in the dark forest.
  • Objective: Find the magical lantern and overcome the darkness.
  • Challenges:

    • Shadow creatures
  • Walkthrough:
    1. Enter the Caverns of Shadows and head east to the first intersection.
    2. Go south and then east to find a dark chamber.
    3. Use a light source, such as a torch or a light spell, to illuminate the chamber.
    4. Fight undead monsters and avoid dark traps.
    5. Find the magical lantern and use it to banish the shadows.

Part 5: The Fourth & Fifth Ordeals (Shortened)

Due to length, I will summarize the remaining two ordeals’ critical path.

Ordeal II: The Maze of Reflections

  • Location: The Maze of Reflections is located in the heart of the kingdom.
  • Objective: Find the magical mirror and overcome your inner demons.
  • Challenges:
    • Illusions and hallucinations
    • Mirror traps
    • Psychological challenges
  • Walkthrough:
    1. Enter the Maze of Reflections and head east to the first intersection.
    2. Go north and then east to find a hall of mirrors.
    3. Use your Perception skill to detect illusions and navigate the hall.
    4. You'll encounter various mirror traps; use your Reflexes to avoid them.
    5. Face your inner demons in a series of psychological challenges.
    6. Find the magical mirror and use it to reveal hidden secrets.

The Optimal 6-Person Party

  1. Front Row (Left to Right):
    • Lord (Lv. 1): High AC, can cast a few healing spells, immune to instant death (critical). Your tank.
    • Fighter (Ftr): The damage dealer. Give them the heaviest two-handed sword or axe you can find.
    • Paladin (Pal): Second tank. Gains immunity to poison and some evil-based instant death.
  2. Back Row (Left to Right):
    • Thief (Thf): Mandatory. Without a high-level Thief, traps in floors 3+ will annihilate you. Pump Speed and Luck.
    • Cleric (Cle): Healing, curing paralysis, and undead turning. Your lifeline.
    • Mage (Mge): Area-of-effect damage and key utility spells (Silence, Sleep, Makanito).

Avoid these at first: Bishops (too slow to level), Samurai (gear-dependent), Ninja (requires high stats to even promote). Save them for a second playthrough. wizardry the five ordeals walkthrough

Part 1: Getting Started (The Basics)

Before diving into a scenario, you must understand the unique mechanics of The Five Ordeals. Report: Mastering the Labyrinth – A Strategic Walkthrough

1. Character Creation Unlike modern RPGs, you cannot just "pick" a class. You must roll stats for a character, and if their stats are high enough, they qualify for a specific class. Goal: Find the stairs down

  • Fighter: Frontline tank. Needs high Strength/Vitality.
  • Mage: Offensive magic. Needs high IQ.
  • Priest: Healing magic. Needs high Piety.
  • Thief: Disarming traps (essential). Needs high Agility/Dexterity.
  • Bishop: Can learn both Mage and Priest spells, but levels up slowly. Needs high IQ and Piety.
  • Samurai/Ninja/Lord: Elite classes. Require very high stats across the board. (Ignore these for your first run).

Recommended Party Composition (6 Members):

  1. Fighter (Good) – Tank
  2. Fighter (Good) – Off-tank/DPS
  3. Priest (Good) – Healer
  4. Mage (Neutral) – AoE Damage
  5. Bishop (Neutral) – Support/Identifier (Bishops can identify items without shops, saving massive amounts of gold).
  6. Thief (Evil) – Trap disarming (Keep in back row).

2. Combat Mechanics

  • Front Row / Back Row: Characters in slots 1-3 are the front row. They can attack with melee weapons and take most of the damage. Characters in slots 4-6 are the back row. They take less damage but cannot attack with melee weapons (unless they have long-reach weapons like spears/bows).
  • Class Change: You can change a character's class at the guild. They keep half their stats and learned spells but reset to Level 1. (Example: Level a Mage to learn all fire spells, then switch to Fighter to be a magic-wielding tank).
