Multiple Deadly Rings

[tleaves]

It looks like you can grind the Monster Allocation Center more than once for multiple Deadly Rings, each of which sells for a lot of money. I honestly can't remember if this was possible in the original Apple II game, but figured I'd mention it.

It was not; in the original Apple II game, you could only ever get a single Deadly Ring per scenario disk. (Per *disk*, not per party.)

This did change in later ports as far as I know.

In practice it doesn't matter because I don't think there's actually much useful to spend the money on -- one ring is more than enough.

If you fail to identify your single Ring of Death! properly .. it SORT of matters.

AFAIK all the later ports have the "one-time" sorts of features be repeatable so you can progress multiple parties through the scenario instead of being more of a puzzle/adventure game.

I don't know if it's repeatable on the Apple version but that's an interesting thing to not port over properly if they're trying to base it more off of that than the ports. I'll say all the enemies seem to be based on the NES art though. Which isn't a bad thing.. lol

Considering this game has a new game/continue function, it's at least possible to reset the entire scenario from scratch. With the Apple II version, these unrepeatable events were unknown for a long time because the game rips available online were made from disks where these events had already been triggered and were thus unavailable.

i created a lvl 1 bishop and improperly identified the Ring of Death and it auto equipped it. can i delete that Bishop to create a new spawn for the Ring?

did the ring go away, or dead bishop has it? it won't spawn again.
tip for bishops: put cheap cursed gear on them so they cant auto equip new cursed gear.
