Towns

There are five walled towns in the land of Xeen,

three of which are cursed. Vertigo and Rivercity

have all the services that your party will require,

and they are not cursed. Nightshadow, Asp, and

Winterkill only have Guilds and curses. Each

town has a well in the center of it that will be

poisonous in some way until something is done to

restore the well to normal. Once a well has been

restored, it will bestow a beneficial magical effect

on any character that drinks from it.

Town of Vertigo

Your adventures begin just outside the tavern in Vertigo. Vertigo is a safe place for low level characters, and much of your early adventuring time will be spent here building your characters up to face greater challenges in the world beyond Vertigo’s gates.

Nightshadow is one of the cursed towns of Xeen. Overrun with Vampires and Bat Queens, no mortal can live here without joining the ranks of the undead. Although the townspeople will never return, it is still possible to lift the curse on Nightshadow and restore the magic of the town’s well.

Page 8 Page 9 Town of Rivercity Rivercity is the largest and wealthiest town in Xeen. All of the town services are available here, and some of the skills as well. Not all is well with this fair city, however. Barok the Sorcerer has cursed the town’s well, turning its magical water into ordinary wine. The robbers of Rivercity have stolen Princess Roxanne’s royal tiara, and Captain Yang and his men have claimed a section of town as their own.

Asp is the second of the three cursed towns of Xeen. A magical transformer, powered by crystals of piezoelectricity, has been set up in the town.

Page 16 Page 17 Dwarf Mines

There are five Dwarf Mines in Xeen and four

Deep Dwarf Mines. The five Dwarf Mines can

all be reached from the surface, but the four Deep

Dwarf Mines can only be reached from within a

Dwarf Mine. All of the mines are interconnected

by a system of mine cars that will take you to

another mine if you know the name of the place

you want to go. The Dwarf Mines are a good,

safe, place for beginning adventurers to find

experience, gold, and gems. The Dwarf Mines

can also be used to quickly travel to places along

the Red Dwarf Range.

There are five Towers in Xeen, two of which are

inaccessible until you visit the Darkside of Xeen.

the easiest. The Tower of High Magic will be

next, and then Darzog’s Tower. Darkstone Tower

and the Dragon Tower cannot be entered without

a trip to the Darkside.

Page 40 Page 41 Cloud Worlds

There are five Cloud Worlds in the land of Xeen,

but only three of them can be reached without a

trip to Darkside. The other two are above towers

whose keys lie on the Darkside.

All of the Cloud Worlds are magical places that

require magic to visit. You must have the

Levitation spell going while you are on a cloud

world or you will fall to your death. You also

must always walk on the cloud—if you step onto

empty sky, you will fall. If you sleep on a cloud,

you will also fall when you wake up because your

Levitation spell will expire.

Page 42 Page 43 Witches’ Cloud

The cloud above the Witches’ tower is the easiest of the clouds to get to in the game. You must cast the Levitate spell before you step onto the cloud or your party will fall to its death. Levitate will not allow your party to fly—Don’t step on any empty spaces!

Page 48 Page 49 Castles

There are four Castles in Xeen. One belongs to

the Good Guys, two belong to the Bad Guys, and

one belongs to you. Castle Burlock (the one that

belongs to the Good Guys) can only be entered if

one of your characters has the Crusader skill.

Newcastle (the one that will belong to you) can

only be entered after you have purchased the land

it sits on and paid for some repairs. Castle

Basenji (owned by one of the Bad Guys) can be

entered any time, although it is not necessary to

complete Castle Basenji to win the game. Castle

Xeen, owned by the Big Bad Guy, must be entered

in order to slay Lord Xeen and win the game.

The first time you enter the castle after you have paid Emerson, Ebenezer will give you the stone to the Golem Dungeon. The stairs down to the dungeon are clogged with debris.

The dungeon under Newcastle will be inaccessible until you pay for its excavation. The cost is 5 more Megacredits, but you will need an excavation permit before you will be allowed to pay Emerson. You can get the permit from Artemus, the King’s Adviser.

Once you have paid Emerson, Ebenezer will give you your part of the taxes your castle collects on the surrounding lands, and the stairs down to the dungeon will be clear. The stairs require a password, and that password is “Laboratory”.

Page 68 Page 69 Dungeons

There are seven dungeons in Xeen, two of which

are inaccessible until you visit the Darkside of

Xeen. Most dungeons require a special stone to

enter them. The first dungeon you will complete

is the Evil Temple of Yak. The second dungeon

you will complete is the Tomb of Terror. Yak and

Terror have enough King’s Megacredits between

them to pay for all the improvements to

Newcastle, so you may not need to complete the

Golem dungeon. The Northern Sphinx is a

dungeon, but it requires an amulet before you can

enter it. You don’t need to complete the Northern

Sphinx to win the game. Finally, there is the

Warzone. The Warzone is a special dungeon that

requires no stone to enter.

Page 70 Page 71 Temple of Yak

The Temple of Yak is the first dungeon you should visit. Mirabeth the (former) mermaid has the stone to this dungeon, and you can find her at area D4, x12, y3. Before you enter this dungeon, one of your characters should cast Protection From Elements twice, choosing electricity and fire. One of your characters should also have the Turn Undead spell. Finally, you may wish to visit the temporary luck boosting fountain in the river outside of Vertigo to ward off the Sleep spells of the Yak Liches.

Page 98 Page 99 Outdoor Areas

There are 24 outdoor areas in the land of Xeen.

We have grouped them into six zones with four

areas in them for the cluebook. Each map has a

name like “A1” or “B3”. You can find the name

of a map by looking at the map that came with

your copy of Clouds of Xeen. There are six letters

printed across the top of the map (A-F) and four

numbers printed on the side (1-4). Simply cross-

reference the letters with the numbers to find the

name of the map.

winning the game. All monsters act pretty much the

same way—when they see you, they try to kill you.

Magic. In Clouds of Xeen, magic works on a daily basis. At 5:00 AM the new Magical Day begins and all magic from the previous day wears away, cancelling protection, light and other active spells.

Who can cast spells. Most character classes in Clouds of Xeen possess some capacity for magic. Clerics, Sorcerers, and Druids are the primary spell casters; Paladins, Archers, and Rangers are secondary. Knights, Robbers, Ninjas, and Barbarians are unable to cast spells. Secondary spell casters have half as many spell points as primary spell casters. There are two types of spells: cleric and sorcerer. Clerics and Paladins can only cast cleric spells, Sorcerers and Archers can only cast sorcerer spells, and Druids and Rangers can cast some of both. Spell Descriptions. There are 76 unique spells in Clouds of Xeen, some of which are shared between character classes. The descriptions of these spells include the following:

This next chapter is an explanation of the different

powers, uses, and abilities that items can have in

Clouds of Xeen. Most of the items in the game are

“constructed” randomly using some simple rules that

this chapter will detail. There are a few items that

are not, and these items are called “quest items”. It

is not possible to sell or lose a quest item, and most

of the quest items have no offensive or defensive

value. Quest items have one purpose and cannot be

used for anything else. The only exception to this

rule is the Xeen Slayer sword, which can be used as a

weapon, but cannot be sold or dropped.

Page 222 Page 223 Darkside

To the people of the land of Xeen, the Darkside of Xeen is the other side of the world. To the people at New World Computing, Darkside is the other half of World of Xeen, a game that combines Clouds of Xeen with Darkside of Xeen. Both Clouds and Darkside are stand alone games that can be finished without having both games. If both games are combined on the same hard disk, however, they will merge into one huge world. This will permit your characters to travel between both sides of Xeen as though they were one game. World of Xeen will have its own special endgame that cannot be completed without travelling to both sides of the world.

You may have noticed that there are two Dungeons and two Towers that are inaccessible in Clouds of Xeen. The Southern Sphinx, Darkstone Tower, the Dragon Tower, and the Dungeon of Death cannot be entered without a visit to Darkside because the stones and keys for these places are on Darkside. Above both of the towers are clouds that cannot be visited until you get into the towers below them.

There are two ways to get to Darkside once you have installed Darkside of Xeen on your hard drive. The first is to step into one of the pyramids that can be found here and there in the Land of Xeen. The second is to take the portal in Shangri-La to Darkside. Neither of these methods will work if Darkside of Xeen is not on your hard drive!
