Each weapon has a different weight, so it will take different times for each to be ready again after an attack. Find out what is the best for you, being very fast or causing high damages.
There are four potions, blue, red, green, yellow. Displayed are the amounts of each potion from 1 to 9, if you carry more than 9 a '-' is displayed. The blue potion is for health, it refreshes up to 25 points, the red potion is the armour potion, and gives you 15 armour points. The green one will increase your strength by one and the yellow bottles are giving you a speedup for 5 seconds.
You can choose 3 different screenmodes, which are 1x1, 2x1, 2x2 pixel. Using any GFX-Board you can only use 1x1 pixel modes.
Here you can see the map of the actual level, well, of course only what you have painted.
Here are all important character value shows, the time and your skill level.
Actual Health - your health points
Maximum Health - your maximum health points
Dexterity - aiming enemies
Your Strength - your physical strengthstrength of the actual weapon (adding those 2 strength value is your attack value)
Walking Speed - speed in normal mode
Running Speed - speed in fast mode caused by yellow potion or a
spell
Your Delay - physical body delay to next attack
Weapon Delay - delay caused by actual weapon
(adding 2 delay value gives your total attack
delay)
Kondition - refresh time for health points
magical Kondition- refresh time for mana pointsAll scrolls you found at the actual level.
Quit - quit without saving
Save and Continue - saves the game and continues
Save and Quit - saves the game and quits
Load last saved game - loads the last savegame
Resume - continuing the game
It is not possible to have more than one savegame, as in real life it wouldn't be possible to say: 'hey, i died, let me load again, ok' But there shouldn't be any place where you come to a 'dead end'.

In here you will find a lot of more or less interesting statistics about your gameplay.
The game is based on the experience point system, this means you will get points for every action you do. When you have got enough points you will gain an experience level and your character values are getting a little better. You mana- and health points will increase, you can run a little faster, and you are able to attack better. So it would be useful to have a look at every room in each dungeon to get all the points which are possible, so that you player has a maximum of points, this will make the game a little easier at the end.
You will face lots of different traps and be prepared to come into new situations every time. The amount of spells and the possibilities caused by the spells will let you find a solution in every situation, just think carefully and you will be the winner against all those dark creatures.
Insert the CD Trapped II to your CD-ROM Drive and select the Trapped_Start Icon with a double click.
You will be asked for a path where the game should put the saved game. The saved game will need about 6MB of free harddisk space and it is necessary that you enter the !!full path!!, this means pressing the 'Volumes' Button first and then enter the savepath.
The you will enter the Startup-Menu:
Start a new game Load old Game
Gfx_Mode Menu Mode
( ) OCS/ECS ( ) Standard Pal
( ) AGA ( ) Double Pal
( ) Grafitti
( ) Picasso96
Precalculations
( ) Filtering ( ) MipMapping
Animation_Mode
( ) on/offSelect Start a new game if you want to start a new game, this will delete your old saved game. If you have started a new game you will be asked at which skill level you would like to play Trapped II. Your possibilities are: Beginner, Adventurer and Hero. This means the easiest is Beginner and the most difficult way to play Trapped II is if you are a Hero.
The Gfx_Mode you select will be use by the 3D-Engine. Supported Modes are OCS/ECS/AGA/Grafitti Card/Picasso96 drivers. If you want to play with a Cybervision3D you will have to install the P96Emul.library and then start the Game in Picasso96 mode. For Graphic cards you will need the Picasso96 Drivers, which are available at the Aminet.
The Menu-Mode is used for the Loading screen, if you have a Monitor which is not able to display standard pal, choose the double Pal screen. If you choose DoublePal you need to install the DoublePal driver in your monitors directory. (Attention: the 3D-Engine will runs at standard pal (OCS/ECS/AGA/Grafitti) even if you have chosen Double-Pal for the menu!)
Precalculations, you can switch some functions of the 3D-Engine, which will take lots of time in the Engine-startup, this means each Level will be started much faster, but of course you cannot use MipMapping and Texture-Filtering then. (On an 68060/50 those Precalculations will take about 7seconds at each level-start, if you use an 68020/28 those Precalculations can take up to 60seconds at each level-start, so if you don't have and 68040/68060 you should switch them to 'off') Animation_Mode will toggle the main animations on and off. If you have the Animation_Mode 'on' you can stop the Animations by pressing the left mousebutton.
About two generations ago it was your grandfathers who was strong enough to fight against the mighty creatures. After a long and hard fight he was able to get all the piece of the wheel of Talmar, so that the high priests at Rak Atun could hold the ban on Tarnak for another 1000 years, so the people at Kaldrion could go further with their daily work.
But something went wrong, Tarnak escaped out of the ban. He killed all the priests at the temple.
The people of Kaldrion left their homes, lot of them died, while fighting against the creatures, which came with Tarnak.
He took over the Palace and you are our last hope to defeat the Dark Lord Tarnak. He is somewhere at the Palace, but no one will be let in, except for those, who can get their hands on the two eyes of Tarnak. These are some magical artefacts which will open the entrance to the palace. So try to find the eyes of Tarnak and kill him, so that we all can go back to our homes.
If you want to create a benchmark you need to start the game once. After you have quit from the game you can start the Trapped2bench.exe file, this will calculate a speed benchmark and saves a file to the RAM Disk.
