Read the instructions to understand Void Pyramid's stats (LIFE, ATTACK, DEFENSE, WITS, AGILITY, and BRAWN) and items (SERUM, WEAPONS, RADARS, and WARPS). *Void Pyramid's 3 characters (SCRIBE, SOLDIER, and SLAVE) have different starting stats. They also interact with certain objects and NPCs in different ways. For instance, the SCRIBE can read ancient languages that the SOLDIER or SLAVE cannot. The SOLDIER can repair damaged weaponry that the SCRIBE or SLAVE cannot. The SLAVE can resist radiation that the SCRIBE and SOLDIER cannot. As a result, some of Void Pyramid's obstacles must be overcome in different ways by different characters. Each character also has their own set of endings. *When you die, you will be sent back to the DREAM TOMB. You do not lose progress but you will randomly penalized. You may lose 1 stat point, 50% of your DEBEN, 25% of your DEBEN, or all your disposable items (SERUM, WEAPONS, RADARS, and WARPS). *Collecting more TREASURES earns you a better ending. All of the characters can collect all of the TREASURES. There is no way to mistakenly lose a TREASURE or prevent yourself from getting a TREASURE in the future. (Special Items) VIBRO: This item is found randomly in chests. Having it in your inventory makes you more likely score VITAL HITS in battle. ADRENAL: This item is found randomly in chests. Having it in your inventory lets you act first more often in battle, even if your enemy is typically faster than you. SEAL: This item is found randomly in chests. Having it in your inventory gives you a 20% discount on purchases at the VENDING GRAIL. SHIELD: This item is found randomly in chests. Having it in your inventory blocks most VITAL HITS that you would otherwise suffer. DRAIN: This item is found randomly in chests. Having it in your inventory causes VITAL HITS that you inflict to heal you completely. ETHER: This item is found randomly when using the WARP OVUM or a WARP item. You can use it to gain a bonus to your WITS, BRAWN, and AGILITY stats. It averages the 3 stats and gives you 10% of that average. For instance, if you have 20 WITS, 22 BRAWN, and 30 AGILITY, then you would gain 2 to your WITS, BRAWN, and AGILITY. If you find the ETHER but never use it, you earn a special ending. DREAM: This item is found randomly when resting in the DREAM TOMB. You can use it to gain a bonus to your LIFE, ATTACK, and DEFENSE stats. Like the ETHER item, it averages the 3 stats and gives you 10% of that average. If you find the DREAM but never use it, you earn a special ending. (ENDINGS) There are many endings in Void Pyramid. Below are the variables that affect your ending. *Treasures Found: There are 5 endings per class based on how many TREASURES you found. 40 or less TREASURES, 41 TREASURES, 42 TREASURES, 43 TREASURES, 44 TREASURES, 45 TREASURES. *Hours of Play: There are 5 endings based on how quickly you beat the game. Less than 2 hours, less than 3 hours, less than 4 hours, 5 or more hours. *Death Count: There are 5 endings based on how many times you died. 0 times, 1-2 times, 3-5 times, 6-9 times, more than 10 times. *Kill Count: There are 5 endings based on how many monsters you killed. 8 or less kills, 9-99 kills, 100-249 kills, 250-400 kills, more than 400 kills. To beat AMMIT and escape the pyramid, you will end up killing a minimum of 8 monsters (which are all bosses that block your path). *Money Spent: There are 5 endings based on how much DEBEN you spent (at the VENDING GRAIL or the item merchant). Less than 12,000 DEBEN. 12,000-12,999 DEBEN, 13,000-13,999 DEBEN, 14,000-14,999 DEBEN, 15,000 or more DEBEN. There are a few other things that you can do that add additional text to the ending scene. *Find the ETHER and DREAM items but do not use them. See the Special Items section above for details on these items. *Defeat the Prime Pharaoh (or don't). Killing the Prime Pharaoh, dying against the Prime Pharaoh, or ignoring him entirely all offer unique endings. *In the Final Chamber (6,6) is a computer called the MASTER COGITATOR. If your WITS are high enough, you can hack this computer to see some more ending text. The text varies based on your class. You can also smash this computer to see yet another ending. *In the Pipe Chamber (7,3) is a MUTANT woman named ESHE. If you are also a MUTANT, you can befriend her. Doing so will display some more text during the ending. There are 3 "bad" endings. Here is how to get them. *Board the spaceship in the Docking Chamber (1,1). *Open the airlock in Branch Chamber (8,4). You will get different endings if you did or did not repair the nearby vacuum suit first. (TREASURE FAQ) Q: Where is the TABLET? A: The TABLET is found at map coordinate 6,3.

If you have enough AGILITY, you can capture her and she will never rob you again. The CHAMELEON BANDIT also has secret chests hidden all over the pyramid. You can find them using the RADAR. Q: I found a TICKET. What do I do with it? A: Hold on to it. In room 3,1 is a machine where TICKETS can be redeemed for DEBEN. Q: Is there a way to keep all the DEBEN in room 4,2? A: Unfortunately not. Q: Who is the meditating dervish in room 7,2? A: The dervish does not do anything unless you are a SCRIBE. If you are a SCRIBE, talk to the dervish when he is near the feline statue. You will gain 1 WITS. The dervish randomly changes position when you enter the room. Q: How do I enter the chamber with the skeletons in room 7,4? A: Only the SLAVE can enter. You can pass through the eastern wall. It is marked with a spot of dirt. When you enter the chamber, walk around to find some items and DEBEN. Q: How does the MUTATION TOMB in room 4,4 work? A: Each time you rest in the MUTATION TOMB, you randomly gain or lose 1 stat point. You are slightly more likely to gain stats than lose them, but to notice this, you must use the tomb a lot. You also may randomly become a MUTANT. The SLAVE is much more likely gain to stats and is the safest character to use the tomb with. Q: I turned into a MUTANT. What does this mean? A: The MUTANT is more likely to gain stats in the MUTATION TOMB. Being a SLAVE and then becoming a MUTANT makes using the MUTATION TOMB a good (but boring) way to grow your stats. The MUTANT is also immune to the radiation field in room 6,6. Q: I took the coins in room 4,3 and got cursed! What happens now? A: Instead of the usual penalty for dying, you will now lose all your DEBEN. This happens every time you die from now on. There is no way to remove the curse. Q: Can I get past the crocodiles in room 5,5 without killing them? A: Yes. Each time you enter the room, the crocodiles' positions may randomly shift. If you reenter multiple times you will eventually be able to walk past all the crocodiles and get the chests. Q: I crushed the crocodile eggs in room 5,5. What happens now? A: Nothing. Crushing the eggs has no effect.
