Level 1: The Hall of the Ancients
| I'm having so much fun making a mess of
Mesopotamia's history that I'd better not forget about the goodies I've put in a hidden room. The room lies beyond a secret door in the Sand Chambers! |
| Found on: Page #1 - north of player start |
| ---- |
|---|
| The Sumerians thought they were the cat's meow
just because they could write! We'll see about that! Oh, what fun being wicked is! |
| Found on: Page #2 - southwest of player start |
| ---- |
| The Sumerians will be very upset when they try to
use their pretty new weapons! They just don't make them like they used to! Speaking of weapons, I hid a good one behind a secret door in the Skeleton Tunnels, along with some other goodies! |
| Found on: Page #3 - southwestern area near exit |
| ---- |
| Great king Hammurabi's kingdom certainly has
changed! What hasn't changed is the way out of this level, which I'll need a Red Time Key to get to. |
| Found on: Page #4 - inside secret area
within the Skeleton Tunnels |
| ---- |
| People say there's no place like home! Well,
I've switched things around on the Sumerians so they won't remember where their real home is! |
| Found on: Page #5 - northwestern area |
Level 2: The Hall of Timeless Wonders
| Old Menes will certainly be upset when he sees his
new role in Egyptian history! |
| Found on: Page #1 - south-central area |
| ---- |
|---|
| I think I'll have some fun with a very important
piece of Egyptian rock and the people who found it! |
| Found on: Page #2 - area east of Page #1 |
| ---- |
| I've really messed things up for the Egyptian
dynasties! Now no one will know who's who or what's what! That reminds me. I'd better remember about the Gold Time Key trap! The trick is that the straightest route is not always the safest route! |
| Found on: Page #3 - central area before Gold
Time Key room |
| ---- |
| Tut tut! With the changes I've made, the Boy
King's tomb will probably be found by some real celebrities and in a very strange place! Speaking of finding things, I hope I can find that Plasma Gauntlet. I think I left it in a hidden room inside a tomb. |
| Found on: Page #4 - center-south tomb in the
Forgotten Tombs |
| ---- |
| In Egypt, there's the river Nile;
I couldn't leave it be. I meddled here and meddled there. And changed its history! |
| Found on: Page #5 - northeastern-most tomb in
the Forgotten Tombs |
Level 3: The Hall of the Shifting Sands
| One of the three ancient Egyptian kingdoms will
never be the same now that Ophelia Chill has the Book of Ages! That reminds me - I put one of the pages inside a hidden chamber in the West that can be found only by pushing two buttons. |
| Found on: Page #1 - southwestern area |
| ---- |
|---|
| Poor Khufu. He had such a dull nickname. I do
hope he likes his new one! Oh, before I forget - I left some very nice magical morsels in a hidden room in the East. The button to open the room is behind one of my display cases. To get them, I'll have to go behind my mummies' backs. |
| Found on: Page #2 - southeastern area |
| ---- |
| Those poor, dead pharaohs won't be very
comfortable with the changes I've made to their tombs! But who cares since they work for me now! I hope they can keep meddlers away from the golden statue of the Pharaoh behind the Purple Time Key door. I wouldn't want anyone to find my treasure room! |
| Found on: Page #3 - central west area |
| ---- |
| I do hope Ramses doesn't mind if I meddle with
his history a wee bit. Come to think of it, I hope he does mind! What's he going to do? Tell his mummy? Ha ha! |
| Found on: Page #4 - northwestern area |
| ---- |
| I think I'll meddle with Cleopatra's love life! She
won't remember who she was in love with! |
| Found on: Page #5 - northeastern area |
Level 4: The Gardens of Harmony
| Athens used to be so boring until I spiced things
up a bit. Now it's a very interesting place! |
| Found on: Page #1 - western center area |
| ---- |
|---|
| Things certainly have changed on the island of
Crete since I gave the people there a new king and a new city! And guess what - I'm using Crete's favorite monsters to guard my gardens! |
| Found on: Page #2 - northwestern area |
| ---- |
| Poor Homer won't recognize his own poems now
that I've changed things around! |
| Found on: Page #3 - north center area |
| ---- |
| The Seven Wonders just don't seem so wonderful
these days, thanks to a helping hand from Ophelia Chill! Hey - I "wonder" where I put those magical goodies? Oh, yes, they're in my secret grotto over to the East. Now, if I can just remember where the button to open the secret door is! |
| Found on: Page #4 - hidden cell unlocked
with Blue Time Key |
| ---- |
| Alexander just doesn't seem so great now that
I've mixed things up a bit! What is great is the collection of goodies I left at the end of the Marble Maze! |
| Found on: Page #5 - southeast area near the
Marble Maze |
Level 5: The Courtyard of Splendors
| Twins built Rome, eh? Well, I've got twin
gladiator dwarves guarding one of the better magical items in my manor! Remember, Ophelia, the item is in a secret room that can be opened only from the outside! |
| Found on: Page #1 - dead-end north of
player start |
| ---- |
|---|
| I've never been fond of comedy, although I find
tragedy very amusing! It would be very tragic if I forgot to stay clear of the statues and the fountain in the North Courtyard! Very tragic indeed! |
| Found on: Page #2 - directly south of
Yellow Time Key door |
| ---- |
| I think anyone searching for the way out will be
"Roman" around all day! That is, of course, unless they go as far to the Northeast as they can go! |
| Found on: Page #3 - center west area |
| ---- |
| I think these three thinkers think too much! Think
hard, Ophelia - where did you put that Banish Spell? Oh, yes, it's inside the Riddle Room in the Northeast hall! |
| Found on: Page #4 - northwest area |
| ---- |
| One of the world's greatest building feats has
been renamed by Ophelia Chill! I like the new name much better! Ha ha! |
| Found on: Page #5 - northeast area |
Level 6: The Arboretum of Glory
| Only a great leader could find all of the Book
of Ages pages I've hidden here in my Arboretum! Mental note, Ophelia: Those who lose the path are in for a BIG surprise! |
| Found on: Page #1 - southern pedestal in
center of south courtyard |
| ---- |
|---|
| The Romans were very good warriors. Only a great
warrior will be able to defeat the Ghoulish guardians in my Colosseum! |
| Found on: Page #2 - western pedestal in
center of south courtyard |
| ---- |
| My Colosseum is very dangerous! I must
remember to keep my guard up whenever I enter. You never know what gate will open unexpectedly! |
| Found on: Page #3 - northern pedestal in
center of south courtyard |
| ---- |
| The empire my dear Ignatius and I are planning
will last much longer than the Roman Empire! Those Romans simply lacked imagination! Speaking of which, I imagine I'll have to remember that I hid the Purple Time Key in my secret grotto in the Southeast. |
| Found on: Page #4 - northwestern pedestal in
south courtyard |
| ---- |
| What does Ignatius always say? Oh, yes. When
you are using supernatural guards in your manor or magical labyrinth, be sure to keep a Banish Spell handy. That's why I left one in the Riddle Room! |
| Found on: Page #5 - northwestern area |
Level 7: The Hall of the Oasis
| I've hidden my Riddle Room somewhere behind
the Gold Time Key door. Anyone who comes looking for it will have to get through my Persian Sorcerors first! There are some powerful goodies in that room, I must say! |
| Found on: Page #1 - southeastern area |
| ---- |
|---|
| Oh, my! I can't remember where I left the Red
Time Key! I think it was in the secret room to the North. Yes, that's where it is. And I mustn't forget that the button inside this room will help me avoid armies of my Murklorian baddies. |
| Found on: Page #2 - southwestern area |
| ---- |
| Changing history requires so much work!
I've only just begun. I must say, though, that I've never had so much fun! |
| Found on: Page #3 - southwestern room in
central chamber |
| ---- |
| I like only one thing more than changing history
and that's listening to the wonderful poetry of my dear I. M. Meen! When we finish taking over time, I'll be able to hear his poems all day long! |
| Found on: Page #4 - upper room on east
side of central chamber |
| ---- |
| Why do they bother naming rivers, anyway? It's
not like a river is going to introduce itself to you! Well, just in case, I'm going to have some fun with this river - and maybe a few other things too! |
| Found on: Page #5 - northeastern area |
Level 8: The Hall of Silk and Spices
| Sometimes I outdo myself with cleverness! I've
hidden the Blue Time Key entrance so that four separate switches must be flipped before the door appears! |
| Found on: Page #1 - southeast corner room |
| ---- |
|---|
| Marco Polo will never be the same! I like the trip
I planned for him much better than the original. That reminds me - I put some very original goodies in the Riddle Room. I mustn't forget that it's inside the Gold Time Key area. |
| Found on: Page #2 - northwest corner room |
| ---- |
| Once I've finished meddling with history, my dear
Ignatius Mortimer Meen and I will be in charge of the biggest empire ever! Oh, don't forget that behind a picture lies a hidden room. Some very nice things are hidden inside! |
| Found on: Page #3 - southeastern area
in inner region |
| ---- |
| Those Chinese dynasties really knew how to hold
on to their power! Ignatius and I should study them closely while we plan our empire! Of course, they've changed a little! Hee hee! |
| Found on: Page #4 - northeastern area
in inner region |
| ---- |
| Confucius was very wise, but he would never had
figured out that a ruby sitting in the middle of an empty room can mean trouble! |
| Found on: Page #5 - center west area
in inner region |
Level 9: The Hall of Battle
| William has certainly broadened his horizons!
He'll thank me for this when my deer Meen and I rule all of time. Time, time - that reminds me. Where did I hide the Purple Time Key? Oh, yes, it's to the West. There's a little surprise waiting there too! |
| Found on: Page #1 - northeast cell near
player start |
| ---- |
|---|
| Charlemagne was a stuffy fellow! All that interest
in old books and learning! Poo! The only books worth reading are the sweet words of my dear Meen. I must give him the Spirit Cannon that is hidden within a cubbyhole that has no suit of armor. He'll simply adore it! |
| Found on: Page #2 - southwest cell near
player start |
| ---- |
| All this boring talk of kings and nobles makes me
sleepy! Perhaps I'll take a little nap in my Riddle Room, beyond the Green Time Key Door. I'll bring some goodies with me too. |
| Found on: Page #3 - southwestern chamber
in armor hall |
| ---- |
| Those poor Europeans will be even worse off after
they see what I've done! |
| Found on: Page #4 - southeastern chamber
in armor hall |
| ---- |
| I prefer my Murklorian Viking Goblins to the real
Vikings. They obey my every command - even when I tell them to guard the level exit in the chamber. They know I'll send them right back to Murklore if they give me any trouble! |
| Found on: Page #5 - southeastern area |
Level 10: The Hall of Kings and Queens
| I love to meddle with important events! This time
I've outdone myself! I enjoyed this even more than hiding all those goodies in the hidden room in the North! |
| Found on: Page #1 - southeastern corner of
southernmost area |
| ---- |
|---|
| I was never fond of war. I prefer to use my magic
to win battles, enchanting my enemies into crusading for me. It's much less messy! Speaking of messes, I must remember to have my minions replace the shield that fell off of the suit of armor in the South and rolled away. |
| Found on: Page #2 - northern part of
northernmost area |
| ---- |
| I'm glad this girl wasn't around when dear Meen
and I started our little plan. She could have been trouble. Well, after the changes I've made, she won't be bothering us! |
| Found on: Page #3 - western part of
northernmost area |
| ---- |
| This Dante fellow might have written some
popular poems, but my sweet Ignatius is much better! My heart melts when I think of his poems, such as "Oh, Wonderful Meen." His poems lift my spirits. Speaking of spirits, don't forget about the Spirit Cloak and Spirit Cannon in the Riddle Room behind the Red Time Key Door! |
| Found on: Page #4 - northwestern part of
northern/western areas |
| ---- |
| I've taken bits and pieces of history from here
there and stitched them all together on this page. What fun! |
| Found on: Page #5 - northern bat chamber in
