Winning Strategy: 

Since each version of the game offers at least 128 different mapped dungeon levels on the one hand and has no ending on the other, I can neither present you a walkthrough, nor maps of the game. But I can offer at least a list of helpful hints:

- Start with Dungeon 1 as this gives you a short sword immediately. Thereafter choose whichever you want. 

- When there is only a single wall, your sword can pass through it if you position yourself carefully. Thus you can attack the monsters, but they can't attack you. Same goes for situations where the monster would be *stuck* somewhere in a wall or a treasure. Even the hardest enemies are easy kills then. 

- On level three you often find Agility Amulets, Luck Charms and Strength Stones. Use these to increase your characteristics up 9. They won't work beyond, but keep a supply just in case. Weakness or Cursed traps can reduce your strength or luck to 1, unless you use a Strength Stone / Luck Charm or some healing spell immediately you could end up with fewer hit points on the next level! So keep a supply. 

- There is little point in using Locate Trap on many of the levels, but on level 3 it is essential, due to the profusion of Teleport Traps. Similarly level three is a good time to use a map, as this will reveal the location of Amulets, Charms and Stones. They are less common on subsequent levels, so stock up now. 

- Keep paralyse and stun spells for use on higher levels. Try to use them for mamba snakes and goblins. These aren't too hard to kill but are so fast that unless stunned / paralysed are imposible to hit! 

- Use the cross against undead creatures like the vampires. 

- When trapped by a poison needle heal yourself immediately after that! If not, your hit points will constantly decrease until you die... 

- Use the fear spell on enemies and then try to force the fleeing creature into a corner where it is an easy kill then. 

- With the Blast spell you can dig tunnels to otherwise unreachable parts of the dungeon. Works best in combination with a map.
