Advice after 100+ hours of gameplay:
You can use rise spell to avoid enemies that drain your level/stats. Alternately, 50+ agility makes you untouchable for non-casting except for hobbit. You can intentionally drain your levels to gain more health points upon staying at an inn.

Pills:
Blue= +4 wisdom -2 health (use after inn when high lvl)
Red= +4 intellect -2 agility (avoid unless 52+ agility, then use prior to inn)
Green= +4 strength -2 laziness (use right away)
Yellow= +4 laziness -2 strength (never use)
Orange= +4 agility -2 intellect (use right away if

Oh man this was one of the first games I ever played! Loved it so much. I never beat it but my dad did. All the way to level 70 and found the Fountain of Youth. What a game!

Typo on the "God?" spell: It can either nuke the enemy for over 1000dmg, hurt you for less than 100dmg, or one of the other four possibilities. (In a game with permadeath where you will have many many difficult encounters, why would they give you a random spell like this?)

You can find the full version (Advanced version 3.3) on archive dot org--though I actually bought this one. Just wanted to post a guide for others on playing this game since I just got around to beating it.

Fighters are actually better than wizards since they can get all the equipment in the game and still cast all spells. Once they get a high enough intelligence and wisdom, they will get a non-trivial amount of spell points on level-up, and they will eventually be able to behave just like a wizard at the dungeon levels when spells matter most--but will do much more damage in melee and avoid attacks better. If you can afford to go to the Kings Inn, do so; it won't be until very late in the game when saving up for temple level-ups becomes practical.

I recommend grinding magic items in levels 4-6 (especially a regen ring) and getting up to being able to do reliable 70 damage before going to level 7 and confronting the level-draining wraiths and wights (they look like zombies). Vampires on level 15 onward always chase you and spawn with high health (Spectors are like wights/wraiths). Be wary of any potential level-drainers when you cannot reliably do more damage than ten times the dungeon level. Rise is the only combat spell that is guaranteed to resolve a bad level-drainer confrontation. At level 35, all the monsters change and all of the non-human-looking ones can drain stats (except the ghost which is another level drainer, and the giant fist and stomper which do 25% of your max HP in damage per attack instead).

You can save-scum to get the stat-ups from the Mocciolo spell if you want to skip the biggest part of game progression--the invaluable stat-ups from books and pills. Also, if you move north one space from the (10,10,0) location that spell sometimes warps you to, then if you get warped to level 50 you will be in a tiny room where you won't have to worry about monsters. The fountain of youth could be anywhere in Level 70--better hope it's not in a 1x1 room!

To keep from having your levels drained, exit the game as soon as you encounter (before fighting) a level-draining monster, unless you have a grenade or other instant kill weapon. There's a special fountain on the (bottom) last level. Enjoy!

Can't make any real progress due to level drains, at level 12-13 I get drained back to 8-9 and have to climb again. I can't seem to find any real counter to this.

I found that the game will generate all kinds of errors unless you take off the read only characteristic on the files. Seems the game needs the ability to update some of the files during game play. All files come read only when extracted.

This is the freeware version that ends at level 17.

Looks a lot like Swords of Glass.

Try running it on Dosbox. Works fine on 8.1 for me.
