You are Kuros, the only knight warrior brave enough to enter the wood of Elrond. Strong enough to wield the Brightsword. Powerful enough to ward off the demons, the undead and the caverns of fire. And clever enough to discover where Malkil has hidden his prisoner.

You are bound for Castle IronSpire, deep in the tangled woods of Elrond.

It is here in the castle that the evil Malkil has imprisoned the princess. But Malkil`s powers reach far beyond the castle walls.

Creatures of the woods, caves, underground passageways and secret tunnels will try and stop anyone who gets near the princess.

Only Brightsword, your mighty weapon, can destoy them.

In addition to fending off enemies, there are many other factors to be concerned with. Like finding and collectiong the right items and weapons. And using them in the right places and against the right enemies.

You start out in the forest - and you`ll quickly see that things arent`t exactly what they seem. You`ll have to figure out how to get inside the trees. To find what you`ll need to get on top of them.

Scattered throughout the kingdom are valuable items with powers of white magic. Make sure you collect all the right gems, weapons, keys and other items before you leave. You`ll need them to complete later levels of the game.

The Kingdom of Elrond is riddled with obstacles - both alive, unalive and even undead. Getting through it all will require a bit of physical prowess - and a great deal of cunning.

You must learn to use everything in your path to help you along the way. In assistance if you know how to use them.

You must also learn when and where to use spcial objects and weapons to their fullest advantages. Some of these items can be carried with you at all times. Others will be replaced by any new items you pick up. You`ll quickly come to know which is which.

In addition to collecting magic and weapons, you will also collect gems, coins and other valuables along the way. Infact, collect as many of these as you possibly can. Because you`ll need them to bribe certain enemies you`ll most certainly encounter. If you don`t have enough gems, these greedy creatures will never let you pass.

When you lose your life, you will be able to hold on to the items, weapons and valuables you have collected if you press any button on your controller within 5 seconds after your energy runs out. You will then start at the beginning of the last level you were in - with your possessions all intact.

So gather your wits, your strength and and your magic and you`ll soon learn the ways of the Kingdom of Elrond.

Does it seem as if every creature, big and small, is working for Malkil? Maybe that`s because they are!

He`s a very powerful magician. Plus, he has summond some very grotesque creatures to help him guard his stolen princess.

And as if Malkil doesn`t have enought beastly enemies for you to overcome, the Forest of Elrond holds a few of her own.

Most of the creatures can be cut down by your mighty Brightsword. But many will require special weaponry of magic. You will have to remember which monsters succumb to which weapons.

The Enemy`s Black Magic Power indicator on the screen, will give you clues as to how hard a given enemy will be to beat. The higher the Enemy`s Black Magic Power reading, the more hits - and the stronger the weapons - you`ll need to defeat the enemy.
