Might and Magic III Hints
TO BEGIN WITH: I think that Might and Magic III is one of the best adventure games I have ever playe(due to its immense size and color graphics). However, my one major problem with it is that it has nalmost infinite supply of riddles, brain twisters, and outright impossible problems that are no fu a all to solve and only detract from the game. For this reason, I am typing up this sheet of cluesforpeople who are stuck at one small place. Because of the game?s sheer size and number of puzzles,I knw I have left out many clues. However, I hope that this list can help most people who are stuck Addiional note: the M&M III that I am playing is the 256 color Macintosh version--but the codes an hintsshould all be the same.
To solve the Cathedral of Carnage:
This place took a while for me to figure out. There are 2 orbs here (each worth 1 million experien) for which you have to fight and die in order to get. There are three steps to get the orbs (as th rb guardian will tell you) the Lock, the Key, and the Cup. To solve the Lock: arrange the five heds(in order from west to east) so the first (westmost) head faces North, the next head faces West, he ext North, the next East, and the last head (the eastmost) South. To solve the Key: Tell the guadian?weeds? in response to his question (he will give you 1 million gold, 10,000 gems and a hologra card) To solve the cups: this one is easy to solve, but it?s a killer...literally... just drink frm all f the cups. The westermost cups will eridacate 2 characters, while other cups will stone or kll othe characters. After all this trouble , go back to the orb guardian and tell him ?JVC? as the nswer tohis request. Just grab the orbs and give them to the king of your choice.
At Castle Whiteshield:
The code to enter the dungeon is ?Joabary?, while to open the chests the code is "Smello"
At Castle Blood Reign:
The code to enter the dungeon is ?Ogre?, while to open the chests the code is "Nortic"
At Castle Dragontooth:
The code to enter the dungeon is ?20,000?, while to open the chests the code is "11"
Mirror Portal Codes:
Home = Fountain Head
Seadog = Bay Watch
Freeman = Wildabar
Doomed = Swamptown
Redhot = Blistering Heights
Arena = The Arena (a great place to get a little experience)
Earth = The forsaken sands
Air = The frozen isles
Fire = Isle of Fire
Water = Swamps
In pyramids:
To go to the Centrol Control Sector, the password is "creators"
To go to the Alpha Engine Sector, the password is "warp"
To go to the Main Engine Sector, the password is "primary"
To gain access to pyramids:
Use your strongest character to break the glass in the island in B3- if your characters aren't stronenough to break the glass, they probably aren't good enough to go to the pyramids
In pyramid in A2:
To raise a new small island located in pirhana bay, tell one of the heads ?youth?- on this isle, anynnatual ages (because of ghosts) will be erased
In Dark Warrior?s keep:
The number is 314
In the slithercult stronghold:
Tell the head ?epsilon? sent you
In fountain head cavern:
Tell the head the password ?rats?.
In the land of gargoyles:
One of the riddles?s answers is ?darkness?, the other "secret"
In Halls of Insanity:
The riddle answers are ?Tears? or ?Eyes? or ?Blink?
In arachnoid cavern:
The answer to lord Might's riddle is "20301"
In Castle blackwind:
The password is ?ten? to get into the dungeon- in order to free the wizard, give 10000 gems to the stue in the Southwest corner, sacrifice one party member to the statue in the northwest corner, and ie 100000 gold to the statue in the southeast corner. Also, use the 'jump' spell to get around the qures which teleport you all over the place- the wizard here was married on day 50
In castle greywind:
The password is ?Circle? to get into the dungeon- in order to free the wizard flip all the hourglass and bang the gong.- the wizard here was married on day 64
Riddle answers:
If you are stuck on a riddle, try one of the following words: blink, eyes, tears, echo, tomorrow, mior, chain, icicle, secret, darkness, chair
To open pirate's treasure:
On onesday, you can open the pirate's chests
At end of game:
To initialize computer, type in "645231"
To get past pirate queen in D2:
Give her a Prescious Pearl of Youth and Beauty- you can find these in many locations, one of which iin the witch's cavern in D1
The maze from hell:
The maze is easy (especially if you liberally use the 'teleport' spell). The monsters in it are not.inotaurs are hard to hit, and they take (generally) 2 'implosion' spells. Medusas are sort of easy,bt very annoying. In the center of the maze, you can find a fountain that will make you an UltimateAdenturer, and in the Northeast area you will find the Minotaur King and a hologram card.
To win the Tomb of Terror:
This place was hell! In order to win, you must arrange the center room so that there are 4 granite ads in the corners, and 4 energy fields between the heads. There are 16 levers used to accomplish ti-2 levers per head/energy field. My only useful advice would be for you to map out which levers chng which heads-draw a rough map of this tomb, and mark which levers change which heads. When only te crner slots are granite heads in the middle room, step into the center to be teleported to the Mumy Kng.
To win the game:
You will need: 1 blue priority pass card, all of your characters to be Ultimate Adventures (to achie this, go the the Maze From Hell), 1 pyramid pass card, hologram sequencing cards 001-006 (or 007 -Idon't know which one), and some pretty good characters (at least level 60)
To get the blue priority pass card: give 11 orbs of power (found in pyramids or various caverns) to ur king or choice
To get the hologram cards: Go everywhere (generally, cards are found at the end of an especially difult cavern)
When you have all these, just go into the pyramid on the Isle of Fire, go to through the NorthWest dr, break down a few walls, and head to the left, and enter the unmarked teleporter. The ending willpesent itself.
