INTIHIUtf IIN
In ages past, Odin, the God King of all Valhalla, and Asgard
created the Viking people.
i he gods loved their creations, and contact between them was
frequent. Then one day that ati changed, According to Norse
legend, the Age of Ragnarok was coming, and universal war
would soon be upon them. Convinced that the upcoming battle
was too much in favor of the gods of goodness, LokL, god of evil,
stormed into Valhalla and walked off with Odin's sword, Frey's
spear and Thor's hammer.
When the gods awoke, their weapons were gone—cast down to
earth where, during the age of Ragnarok, the gods could not
retrieve them without becoming mortal*
But Frey, one of the oldest and wisest gods, had a plan. Forseeing
that one day the (.rods would have need for the Vikings, he cast
upon them a great warrior to lead the Vikings on a mission of
great importance at the Battle of Ragnarok.
Here we join the story . . .

opponent begins his attack you will have a short amount of
time to block it (the exact amount of time will depend on the

tUTINt SPELLS
A character s magic ability is determined by his RUNELORE or
magic rating—a value ranging from 0 to 99. Rune I ore ratings
increase by collecting special points, level advancement, etc. Each
spell has its own Runelore rating which determines the Runelore
a character needs to decipher and cast spells. l or example, the
spell "Decipher Traps" requires a Runelore rating of 10 to
decipher it. If a character with a Runelore less than 10 tries to
decipher the scroll containing the spell he will only be shown the
runes. If his Runelore rating is sufficient, the scroll will be
translated and you will be able to cast that spell. Once a scroll has
been translated it still may only be cast by somebody with a
sufficient Runelore rating.
Spells come in three categories:
1, Combat Only—can only be used in combat situations.
2, Rooms Only—can only he used when in one of the rooms.
3, Universal Spells—used in both combat situations and rooms
CHEST TRAPS
During the game you will encounter a number of chests.
Sometimes these chests contain useful items, such as gold or
scrolls. Be careful—chests can sometimes be traps.
When you approach a chest you will be asked if you wish to open
it. If you select YES you will then be asked if you wish to cast a
"Disarm Trap" spell on it. If you have sufficient Runelore and a
"Disarm Trap" spell you will be able to cast the spell to disarm
any traps related to the chest. If you do not have sufficient
Runelore or are not in possession of a "Disarm Trap" spell then
you will be told so.
If the chest contains a trap and is opened without being
disarmed, the trap will be activated and the chest will explode.
C H A P T c n 1
This part of l3if game is used to determine your character's
attribute score. This score is needed to:
1) Determine your personal attributes to he divided between
several categories, including—Strength, Dexterity, Health,
Luck, etc.
2) Select vour team of followers. Before you begin your journey,
you must first select five additional crew members to
accompany you. You can also select your team of followers
from a list of 30 men, depending on your Attribute score. For
example, you may only have a choice of 21 men because
your score is too low.
Your attributes are determined in the following three-stage test And
the better your score, the better the selection of crew members (30
maximum) available to you* By having more characters to choose
front, each with his own specialized skill (wizards, warlords,
shipwrights, thieves, rangers), the better prepared you will be to
meet the different challenges that await you.
Ax Throwing Contest
You have 100 seconds to cut Hclga, the feisty barmaid s pigtails—
and free her from the dutches of the pillory, Unfortunately, as
this is your first venture into the Village Inn, the strong ale has
affected your eyesight and the steadiness of your hand. This
section f inishes when time runs out, or when you have
successfully cut off all of Helga's pigtails. Your rating will depend
on your accuracy.
[
Pig Wrestling
After leaving the village inn you will be taken to the local pig
farm to wrestle wild boars. To make your dirty task even harder,
the boars have been greased. There's also a time limit: 100
seconds. Beware—if you corner the boar it will wait, charge and
knock you over. Your score in this section is determined by your
speed in catching the pig.
Boat Fighting Test
Here Heimdall finds himself down on the harbor where ail the
Viking longboats are moored. On one of the boats is a sack
containing a hoard of gold coins. To collect these coins you must
run from the starting point to the bow of the boat where the sack
is tied. But to reach the sack you must fight vour way past several
armed guards and return—with the sack—to your starting point.
As with pig wrestling, this section is played against the dock.
Your score depends on how quickly you can recover the sack of
coins. Your turn will end when you are either ketocked overboard,
hit by one of the guards, the timer runs out or you successfully
recover the sack.
ttnmi two
After gaining your attribute scores in Chapter One, you will begin
Chapter Two. Here, as Heimdall, you will face the major quests of
the game—and put alt your new-found skills to the test. The age
of Ragnarok is almost here* And as ' the chosen one/' it's up to
you to explore the World of the Vikings, and ultimately recover
the Gods' weapons: Thor's hammer. Trey's spear and Odin's
sword* Good luck, young Helmdall.
