	  READ THE TEXT  BEGINNING FROM THE TOP OF THE FILE.  
	  THE CLUES ARE WRITTEN IN ORDER JUST AS THEY APPEAR
	  IN THE GAME.

Background

Knights of Xentar (KOX) is the IBM PC version of the Japanese game, 
Dragon Knight III. The Japanese game is the third in the 5-game series. 
KOX features a more in-depth story line, enhanced with voices to 
accompany the animated graphics; the CD-ROM version contains full 
digitized speech for the entire game!


Anime (Japanese animation)

Megatech games contain graphics done in the Japanese cartoon style 
known as Anime.  Anime art is easily identifiable because of the 
exaggeration in the size of most characters' eyes and other body 
parts and the use of bright hair colors.


Combat

a)  Slow the battle speed whenever you encounter unfamiliar monsters.
b)  Avoid offensive tactics until you have accumulated hit-points and armor.
c)  Avoid combat if you are wounded and are not carrying any heal potions.


Walkabout

Talk to everyone in the game.  Everyone has something unique to say -- 
even after you finish your quest.

Read the background story on page 36 of the manual to better understand 
the game.


			       GENERAL HINTS 

Q. Can I ever go upstairs in the inns without talking to the ladies?
A. No.

Q. I can't get out of Squalor Hollow and I have no money to buy clothes.
A. Go northeast to the bar and rescue the girl.  Then, go see Frump on 
   the west side of town.

Q. Is there any way to recover from kissing the magic medal?
A. No.

Q. Where is the hermit in Dreadsden?
A. Dreasden is the only town in Xentar where you can actually walk 
   alongside the "outside" of the village wall.  Specifically, walk 
   into town and immediately turn west walking alongside the outside 
   face of the wall.  When you get to the corner, turn north and you 
   will find the hermit's hut.

Q. That boulder to the south of Squalor Hollow -- any way to move it?
A. You can't but Rolf can.  You'll find him in Phoenix.

Q. Will Tymm ever try to eat me?
A. You must have the Mystic Marble and the Magic Mirror.  You must also 
   save Clara from the wolf and talk to the Dark Knight staying in the 
   Coventry Inn.

   NOTE: In version 1.08 (look at the CD inner ring for the version)
	 there is a Tymm logic bug allowing you to get inside Visel's
	 cave without the Mystic Marble but then never letting you get
	 past Tymm.  If you have this problem, download the patch:
	 KXUP108A.EXE

Q. The staircases in the Castle of Kalist! What should I do?
A. First, go down the upper-right staircase,
   Then, come up the bottom-left staircase,
   Finally, go down the bottom-center staircase.

   If Luna is missing, then you've solved the staircase puzzle 
   correctly.  Otherwise, you must exit the Castle and try again.  
   The staircase puzzle is deactivated for an easy return upward.

Q. I defeated Haggis but the Castle entrance caved in! How do I get out?
A. Find the other door next to the caved in entrance.  Enter and take 
   the Demon key inside. Step out and go east and walk straight through 
   the demon head hanging on the East Room wall.

Q. Do I need anything in Nero's Retreat to complete the game?
A. No.

Q. I'm in the Canine Caverns but I can't find the tuna liver lumps?
A. Look for a dark spot on the cavern wall.  There's a secret 
   passageway in the southeast corner on the first level and 
   another passageway in the center of the second level.

Q. The hungry guy in Moronvia ate my liver lumps but he's still awake.
A. Leave town and come back in.

Q. I defeated Deimos. How do I end the game?
A. Warp to Arcadia.  See Aquarina then go see the princess.

Go to the northern building and buy your entry card for the monster-killing 
contest.  Then leave town and head north to the cemetery.


CEMETERY

Inside the cemetery, find the sexy drawing that's inside a chest in the 
southwest corner of the first level.  Continue until you find the lowest 
level and another contestant.  Walk through the last passageway so that 
you warp back to the outside.  Return to Carnage Corners.


CARNAGE CORNERS

Find the old man living next to the mayor and his daughter.  The three live 
in the village's northwest section.  Exchange the sexy drawing for the 
old man's Transsexual Nuts.  Leave town and head east through the magical 
barrier to Arcadia.


ARCADIA

Luna, your other partner, lives here.  Speak to both her mother and her.  
They are in the northeast building.  Together with Rolf and Luna, go see 
the Princess of Arcadia.  She will give you the Virgin Medal.  Return to 
Carnage Corners and enter Luna in the tournament.

Defeat Yrnie and claim your prize with the mayor's daughter in Carnage 
Corners.  Then, head east from the village to the mountain pass where 
the magical barrier once stood.  Do not cross the mountain pass.  
Instead, turn left and head north.


THE SIGNPOST

Heading north look for the signpost in the middle of the valley.  
The signpost reads:     Arcadia - South
			Mellions - North
			Castle of Kalist - Northeast

Now go to the backside of the signpost and read the solution to the 
Kalist Castle nine-staircase trap. Continue north.


MELLIONS

The two jar makers can also provide you the solution to the nine-staircase 
trap.  Here, however, you must visit both Arl and Marcy without having 
visited the other which means you must save and restore your game.  
Each one will give only a part of the solution; you must put it together.  
Knowing the solution, head east to the castle.


CASTLE OF KALIST

Inside the castle head east then north through the columns then east again 
to the staircase.  Continue down until you come to the nine staircases.  
These are laid out in three rows of three.
	
	Go through the upper-right staircase,
	on through the bottom-left staircase,
	then the bottom-center staircase.

Luna will be missing if you successfully complete the nine staircase trap.  
Otherwise, exit the castle and try again.

Find Luna.  Save her and return to the main entrance on the top floor.  
Enter the room next to the now caved-in entrance.  Get the demon key 
inside the chest, walk out of the room and go east to the room with no 
doors.  There is a demon head hanging on the wall.  Walk through the 
demon head; you will be teleported out of the castle to a spiral path.


SPIRAL PATH

Simply follow the trail out.  Once out of the trail, head south to Moronvia.

Talk to everyone in the village then head northeast to the Feline Farms.


FELINE FARMS

Talk to Parrrtesia in the north part of town.  Then head north to the 
Canine Caverns.


CANINE CAVERNS

Entering the caverns, turn east at the first junction.  Continue on 
making your way to the southeast corner of the caverns.  Once there, 
look for the secret passageway through the cavern wall on to the 
seemingly isolated cavern. Go down the stairs and continue on the 
lower level to the center of the caverns.  Again, find the secret 
passageway through the wall to the eastern caverns and continue on 
until you encounter the Top Dog.  Take the liver lumps from him and 
return the liver lumps to Parrrtesia.


MORONVIA

After returning the liver lumps to the felines, warp back to Moronvia 
and give the remaining liver lumps to the young man guarding the 
underground shelter.  Leave the room.  Return, head downstairs and talk 
to the mayor.  Then warp back to the Feline Farms and head northwest past 
the Canine Caverns to the small lake in a clearing.


VILLAGE OF THE FAIRIES

The fairies guard the Temple key.  Talk to them then continue northwest 
again to Tristrap, the last village of Xentar.

to anywhere in Xentar or warp directly to Arcadia to end the game.
