Change weapon type.
I guess a ranged weapon would help.

Won as a barbarian. :)
Was harder this time, didn't find any decent ranged weapon until very late. And didn't use magic weapon. used it to get 2 energy back every 5 steps, that combined with my cape which had another 1 every 5 steps, made walking around easy.
Also changed an artifact in the end, wanted to make it more barbarian like, but didn't look which it would replace, which made me look less barbarian. :P belt of rage: double crit chance, but -4 defence changed with belt of invincibility: 30% extra block chance, but - 3 defence and magic defence. I saw the - defence and just said take it. Also messed up my tactics a bit, helm of bloodthirst: heal 25% max hp on each crit.

Dang! Second one? I'm still going through my first one. Don't worry about the kill. I literally happened to use some phoenix blood and randomly bloodthirst'd you afterwards. Few steps later I find your dead body. I took like 13 coins off your hands <3
After that I just went Energy Pot spree and I'm already very near the end I think :) Too bad i forgot to buy more of them and ran out of energy quite far from the shop </3 I'll be back in a few hours I guess!

The 2nd one is "easier" since you know where to go(especially if you have your own map).
But I also had some luck in finding big energy potions in the very beginning, which sped that part up.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hmm, well that's where I was crawling towards ( only place left unexplored, of course :|) so tnx for that, maybe there's a chance. The issue was there are some "walls" that don't get that line after you check them (like the ones with the leaders) so I think that confused me.

still playing (like always its chaos)
if its not cheating i would like to know where to go next:

There's a very hot place where you can fry the bread, it's not marked on the map but you should remember if you've been there.
Handle matches in colour for a specific location that specifies one.
Don't remember efreet being mandatory fight. If you can avoid fighting do so or wait till you've leveled up on weaker enemies :)
Comment has been collapsed.
damn i must have been disoriented and missed the hot place
maybe the kitchen because somwhere there i used hot key (i was disoriented and clicked like crazy to loose it asap)
oh, and i remember only one place with lever thats not shown on map
damn im toasted
Comment has been collapsed.
It's correct that it's where you used the hot key. But the hot key was not used in the kitchen, so don't bother going there. (Though I admit it makes sense that you should be able to fry some bread in a kitchen...)
Levers are not shown on map, but they're all at the end of a narrow corridor (can be a short or long corridor)
Comment has been collapsed.
The very hot room is the efreet room, right? I was so lost I'm not sure this is the room I opened with the hot key.
Now I can't find a way to fry the bread...
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't remember which one is the 'Efreet room' but I do remember that the room in particular is 3x3 (not counting in- and outgoing corridors) and is located at the bottom middle of the map. The fire you're looking for is somewhere in that room.

There appeared to be some problems with the e-mail after server upgrade, hopefully I will fix it soon.
As for the bugs you reported:
Very sorry about the bugs you encountered, and thank you for reporting them! :)

so much regret. area around shop needs CCTV because i got abused and violated in my sleep. woke up with only 1ep and only managed to buy 1 small ep potion
note to self : avoid peak hour of rape
wow all these people finishing the game twice :L
-end of rant-
Comment has been collapsed.
I have two major issues with the game. One is that disorientation is still the worst lol. But I fixed that by maxing out its resistance.
However, the other issue is much worse. I didn't find the shop with potions before I entered the dungeon and now so much time is being wasted. The quests involved me walking around a lot without the ability to get EP potions once I checked every spot. Now I have 0 EPs and just 1 HP potion so I have to run away from every opponent because I can't waste EPs on them.
And even so it's taking forever to complete the damn brother thing (and wth did the levers do? I checked all 3 and nothing happened so far). Not being able to use teleportation scrolls like the last version of the game unless I have really high magic is killing the game for me.
Comment has been collapsed.
If you completed the brothers you should have found out what the levers do. Though a lot of people have reported bugs with this particular quest, so if you are sure you checked everything you might want to check with the creator just to be safe...
Teleportation scrolls are not necessary, they are expensive enough that energy potions are a reasonable substitute. Once you're high enough level you can use those you've found and maybe buy an extra, but you won't need more than that.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well I'm stuck in the dungeon with 0 potions and 0 chances of getting any new ones here unless I get some by advancing the quest. Do I have to crawl back up to find a shop with them? Because that means I'm probably screwed and won't finish the game in time (I knew I shouldn't have gone in the dungeon so early when I found it).
Comment has been collapsed.
Going into the dungeon early wasn't a bad decision because it's just about the only choice you have (the 'upper floor' map is extremely limited). The shop is located in the dungeon, provided you've still some coins left (or can farm some more). I've told you what you needed to advance the quest, so I hope your character is strong enough to stay alive, level up and keep going till you're able to complete it.
Comment has been collapsed.
Tnx, it appears I got confused about which walls had the leavers on them (they don't appear checked on the map) so I left a part unexplored, will head there right after I deliver the thing from the guy to the other guy (that's what I was doing, I just thought the leavers were a different quest).
Comment has been collapsed.
Probably you went the wrong way, my tip, check carefully every corners in Dungeon, you'll find all you need here, and be sure notice all the texts on screen when you do the quest. That is very important Good luck!
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh I check everything, I'm assuming I thought I did but didn't appear checked on the map like some other spots. My memory is awful so I surely forgot there was a pathway there not a wall, I went down the other pathway and just got sidetracked by other things. But tnx for the well wishes!
EDIT: How do we cover text in these comments :P?
Comment has been collapsed.
You should go to the end of the way and check everything, don't miss just a single room, maybe some left area contain important stuff? I have a bad memory too, you should read what Dan wrote, he helped me alots with his tips before.

Done that, it's just 4 squares, checked every wall. Nothing but some gold and a potion or 2.
EDIT: Nevermind, after I logged in on a different browser it got fixed and the writing appeared. The problem is I didn't write down where each leaver is specifically. Sigh.
Comment has been collapsed.
The red lever is at the top middle of the map near the place where you unlocked it with the handle, in a narrow corridor. The green lever is near the middle of the map at the end of a long and narrow corridor, and you defeated a monster to get there. The blue lever is in a narrow corridor below the green one and is possibly the first one you encountered as it's accessible from the moment you enter the dungeon.
Comment has been collapsed.
I actually already did, I had the (for once) good fortune of finding and activating them in the required order so I only needed to go to the red one again, I took a shot because I had a vague idea which one it was and I got it. However now I have the thing you get in that room and nowhere left to go in the dungeon. Is the rest of the game back up or am I missing something? (tnx for the belated help anyway :) )

Hallo, there.
I really enjoy the game :) It was painful at the beginning. But as I launched it on my smartphone, I managed to optimize my playing time.
But I am a bit confused with thesse 80 GAs title :D
I guess I get the link to it if I finish tje game, right ? Or just the best players from hall of fame will get it ?
Or maybe there are separate links hidden in game`s locations ? Or both :)
And my main question is - when do these GAs end ?
Comment has been collapsed.
Glad that you enjoy the Game! :)
Main winners (those who win the Game before the winners' limit is reached) get access to all the treasures in the Game. All "late" winners get 1 random treasure on completion as a consolation prize.
Treasures are also hidden everywhere and can be found by checking the surroundings.
All giveaways end on the 1st of March.

I've got a bleeding resistance of 20(10+10), but I still hurt by bleeding effect, which seems not right....
By the way, please call me Leech King
Comment has been collapsed.
Thx :D
Still wandering around in the dungeon and leech everyone's energy...
According to my memory, when I got into rat brother's room, I found nothing special in it (except some big energy and health potions). Is that the normal case or is it a bug?
In case of missing any important message, I checked the room again yesterday, but found nothing in the checked walls...
And a suggestion: maybe it's a good idea to add "All resistances have a cap of 10" in the FAQ?
Comment has been collapsed.
Went from around 100th place to third on the high scores today, and I could have gotten even higher if I wanted to wander around and grind forever. It was fun.I only had 4 deaths, pretty sweet.
Comment has been collapsed.
question : I've found 5 treasures till now and thats pretty much all , searched everything which can be searched, so I want to ask , can I find more of them if I search same spots again? saw in faq that we can find like 10-15 max , depends on luck and etc. Is it possible to find some treasures when I search same walls again? should I go back and search more?
Oh and can't pass that final quest ._. no matter which spell I use .. is it like chance given quest , example we have 0.0001 to success or ?
Comment has been collapsed.
is there a way to drop a key? I found it and took it because I didn´t know I´m gonna die all the time afterwards ^^

another strange thing
i was waiting 15min for 1 energy, and im left still with 0 after the time passed, is it possible that some1 drained only 1 energy from me ? i couldnt drain 1 energy if i remember correctly
edit:
a glitch in the browser it was
Comment has been collapsed.
Ok, thanks.
And the limit is 20 for thiefs ?
So i guess I m a little late for big prize.
NM though. Its fun anyway.
Btw Maybe next time it wont be bad to consider for the the main prize also the players with most points / exp on specific deadline.

I am a Wild Barbarian with Magic: 7 (+3) However I cannot seem to use a teleportation Scroll it claims I need magic level 9 to use however with artifacts I am Magic 9. Is this a glitch or do artifact stats not count for scrolls?
Loving this game so far. Also FYI in stats defense is listed as Defence with a "C" where the "S" should be.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ok, I also have finished the game :) Thank you very much for such awesome event and all contributors for awesome giveaways! When I saw this topic, it was a bit late to make a contribution for this event, so probably next time. I already want to return to this game to explore new areas and solve new quests :) I hope, there will be new game of swords soon! Thanks again, it was really great!

Over 80 treasures are featured in the current Game!
All of us like playing games, and all of us like winning games. So, how about playing a game and winning games while playing?
Introduction
Game of sWords is a text RPG Adventure where you can explore dungeons (or other locations), complete quests, solve puzzles, find useful items, avoid deadly traps and fight dangerous monsters while searching for treasures (private SteamGifts giveaways links) on your way and trying to reach the end to get access to a huge amount of private giveaways! Each Game (of sWords) usually has a unique scenario and a limited number of winners, so the chances will always be great.
All giveaways have no restrictions, so anyone who finds them can join them!
Lots and lots of giveaways have been contributed by the community members, and I would like to say a big Thank You to everyone who made a contribution! :)
Here is the topic of the previous Game of sWords.
Here is the topic of the first Game of sWords.
Important notes about the Game
In the Game, you will have Energy Points and Health Points.
Most of the actions in the Game require Energy Points. Energy can be replenished using items, which you can find everywhere, thus it is important that you check everything around you!
Energy will also be replenished over time. Normally, you will receive 1 Energy Point every 15 minutes, and that time can be reduced with special artifacts that can be found in Game.
Note, that the Energy won't be replenishing during the battles (you can only restore it with potions)!
If you lose all your Health Points, you will also lose all the energy you had plus you will have to wait for up to 6 hours to be resurrected. (Basic Resurrection happens every 6 hours from the time the Game started - 16:00 GMT). The energy can not be replenished while you are dead!
Note: If you have problems navigating through the map, you can switch to Simplified Navigation at the bottom right corner.
I highly recommend to read this article for important Strategy Tips and general understanding of the Game :)
Also, make sure to read the FAQ, it has the answers to most questions you might have about the Game ;)
What's new in the current Game of sWords?
Current Game is a true RPG adventure with 3 classes, experience system and levels, multiple skills, wide variety of enemies with random encounters and huge amount of weapons, artifacts and items. There is 10 times more of everything than in the previous Game! The map is now twice as big as the one in The Secret Castle (previous Game), so you have to be ready for a long and dangerous journey! Make smart decisions, develop your character your way and lead him to success!
