not exactly a rave review. this guide [,]actually[,isn't very good]but it is helping a little. I bought this guide because I needed dungeon maps. Okage's mapping system is asinine as anyone who has played it will know. And I was sick of fumbling around in the escapeless abyss practically blind. Well the guides maps are almost worthless. They don't show the details like which are stairs, where are the urns, where are the pits, but with sherlockian skill I was able to put these feeble maps to use. The town maps while more explicit are in such tiny type that you need a goldarn'd magnefying glass to see what the heck they say. Item lists and magic spell/monster lists are a little better although the item lists have descriptions such as :wonder what this does? Hmmm...well me too that's why I bought a guide. I hope prima's other products aren't this feeble.

I was really lost without the guide...being as that the tiny gears are invisible...so you need the guide to tell you where they are...it's also helpful in finding treasure chests and other items...the dungon maps are not great in the guide but are better than what the game gives you...and the detailed map for the final dungon...probably saved me from wandering around being needlessly attacked for hours!!!! finished game with guide in 32 hours!

Bought this for my kids; yet they still have trouble getting through the game using this book..
