At the end of the game, you can choose one of three artifacts. Beat the game three times and keep choosing a differemt artifact. When you beat the game for the third time, you'll get a big special ending.
Superior Deities And Spells
There are three different Deities that Pious Augustus can choose at the beginning of the game. The enemies will vary in the game depending on which Deity Pious Chose to worship.
The three Deities and their corresponding colors are:
You can cast spells under the rune of each deity that will adjust the affect of the spell on items and enemies. Remember that one Deity's weakness is one of the
other Deities.
This chart will show the Superior Deities:
Chattur'gha(red) is the superior Deity to Xel'lotath (green)
Xel'lotath(green) is the superior Deity to Ulyaoth (blue)
Ulyaoth(blue) is the superior Deity to Chattur'gha (red)
There is also a fourth rune, Mantorok (purple), that varies in potency on each Deity's minions.
Remember to use the Superior Deity chart in order to know what type of spell will work the best against each type of enemy, Example: A Ulyaoth (blue) spell will work the best against a Chattur'gha (red) enemy, because Ulyaoth is the Superior Deity to Chattur'gha.
Different Modes
Beat game once and save clear data to unlock the ''Credits'' option.

Eternal Mode is accessible from the Jump to Game option only.
Mantorok Rune
When you play as Dr. Edwin Lindsey (the archaeologist), you destroy a field blocking one of those "small dog" holes, which you find out later is a clue to the use of the Summon Trapper spell. Usually, you will pass this area and continue on, since the spell you need isn't available - not only do you not have the scroll but a rune is missing. A little bit later you will acquire the necessary rune (TIER) to complete the spell.
When you have the TIER rune, head back towards the hole and send a trapper through. You will find two horrors inside, along with a pad displaying the purple Manotorok symbol and a spider web. Placing the trapper on the pad will open a door opposite the hole, revealing the Mantorok rune. A horror will then break open the wall opening the path to the spider web which hides the Mantorok codex.
The Mantorok rune is strong against all three others, and poisons the enemy when used as a shield or enchanted weapon. It dispels all types of damage fields, although the opposing rune is still needed for Reveal Invisible. Enjoy!
Instant Zombie Death
If you have a torch and you are face a large group of zombies, swing the torch at them. They will die in one hit. You will have to do a final blow quickly because they will disappear if you are too slow. Note: This will only work on the normal common zombies.
