Avoid player killer problems
Use the following steps to save your game when playing over a network. Copy your save files to another directory that is outside of the DarkStone directory before joining a network game. To restore a save, reload DarkStone from the CD, then copy the saves from the outside directory. Note: Make sure all three saves are copied.

Defeating Draak
Before he transforms, use Magic Door and gather potions and equip the best fire resistance items then head back out. Let him transform, then equip a long range weapon (need to have at least 80 in Dex). Use the orb and belt potions and run back to the entrance until you cannot see Draak. Fire in the direction Draak was standing. After a short period of time, an intermission sequence will appear and you will have defeated the Dragon. Gather the key, scale, and hand then open the gate. Gather all the money (900,000 depending on the level of your character) and gate to town.

Duplicating items
Place the object to be duplicated in your inventory and save the game. Start a new game with two characters. Give the other character the item to be duplicated. Then, load the game. You and the other character will still have the item.
Warning: This cheat stops working after awhile. After the first one or two times, you must play to get either a level up or a crystal to get the first persons items back. After four or five times, you will not be able to get your items back.

Extra food
In the scenario were you have to get the Horn Of Plenty, keep using Abundance to continue getting chicken legs.

Extra gold
Begin a new game and give all money from one character to the other character (money holder). Start another new game, and select the money holder as one character and create an entirely new character. Transfer 1500 gold from the new character to the money holder. Repeat as needed to build your gold total.
To build gold faster, begin a new game in single player mode as the monk. Take the Book Of Resurrection and his other equipment. Sell the book for 15,000 gold. This will result in a total 16,500 gold just for that character.
Start a new single player game with your character and the monk. Transfer his spell book (Resurrection) to your character, then sell it for 17,000 Gold. Also use this with the Sorcerer to get Magic Missile early.
To do this trick, you must have at least 10,001 gold in the bank, and a full inventory, except for one slot. Withdraw 10,000 gold and throw it on the ground. Then, withdraw 1 gold and try to pick up the 10,000. The game will not allow you to do so, so throw it on the ground again. Look at the gold in your inventory to find 10,000 gold. Deposit the 10,000 gold and withdraw 1 gold again. Pick up the 10,000 on the ground, then repeat as needed.
When you get far enough into the game, buy a mace from the priest section of the "Buy" menu, then sell it. You will get more money than what you bought it for.

Hidden song
Throw coins in the bard's tray in the center of town during a single player game.
|
Level up faster
Create a new character, then begin a new quest. When you are in town, equip the items you have. After you have done this, exit town and start to fight enemies. When you level up, save your attribute points. Keep doing this in Ardyl until you feel comfortable with the level you are at. You should reach expert level in about one hour. This will work as if you are at level two the entire time. Doing this trick can turn a warrior into a warrior/wizard. Note: If you quit the quest, this will no longer work; or if you are leveling up slowly again (after level 16 or 18) buy learning.
|
More money for items
You will usually get more for selling items if you repair them first.
|
Selling equipment easily
Play as a mage with the spell Magic Door. When you cannot carry anymore items, use the Magic Door spell to return to town. While at town sell all of the equipment you need to sell and rest for 100 gold. Go back through the gate and get the items you need. Repeat this as needed.
|
Unlimited chicken legs
In the land of Ardyl, the town nearby asks you to recover the Horn Of Plenty for them. Instead of giving it back immediately, you can keep it and get unlimited chicken legs. Just keep right clicking on the Horn Of Plenty. At the end of the game you will need all seven crystals, so go back and give the horn back to the town for the last crystal.
|
View FMV sequences
Insert the Darkstone disc into the CD-ROM drive. Select "My Computer", and right-click the Darkstone icon. Click "Explore" and open the "mdata" folder. The video-clips are FMV sequences used in the game. Note: The game does not need to be installed for this to work, and the video clips use Windows Media Player.
