You awake in a desert oasis, with no memory of recent events and a strange amulet attached to your neck. Somehow, you must figure out a way to return to your home, and hopefully along the way piece together what has happened to you....
Sleepwalker 1: Desert Greed is a plot-driven single-player adventure for a first level character, and will get you to level 6-7. Be prepared to enjoy poker games, fishing, undead henchmen, logic puzzles, plenty of alignment options, and item creation.
See readme for version changes. Playing Sleepwalker 2 requires you to use a fighter, paladin, cleric, ranger, or druid as your first level.
I?m hopelessly stuck. Just started your module and I can?t locate the Chemist Cave. Read your response ?Go into the village tomb, go into the second door to the left (from the perspective of when you enter the tomb) which brings you to a new area, fight a few bad guys, then look for an area transition in the back-left of this area.? I killed off all the bad guys (with a lot on running outside to sleep and regain health) and now, standing at the entrance the map shows four doors, all to tombs. I?ve tried the area around the second tomb door from the right and then in exasperation all the doors and the areas around them. Nothing, so (my character is a rogue) I turned on search and slowly walked along every wall and space in the entire tomb area. NADA. I?m on a Mac laptop, but I?ve never had this problem with any other game and I am using your latest version of sleepwalker. Any way you can help me out of this predicament as I would like to continue what so far has been an enjoyable adventure.

Its a interesting game. The dialog is very good. I didn't get very far before giving up though.

Oops, forgot to rate this last year. It's a good mod, enjoyable story, nice humor. Its main drawback is that it is part one of YET ANOTHER TRILOGY WITH NO CONCLUSION. Phalanges walked away in 2005.

Anyone have a contact address for Phalanges? His hint file calls you "slacker" if you look up the chemistry puzzle, but in fact he's the slacker. His criteria are insufficient; there are THREE distinct solutions. Omitting all constant features, the variations are: (powder 8, chop 3, roll 7) , (chop 8, powder 3, roll 7) , (chop 8, powder 7, roll 3).

I don't know how you came up with the idea that this is suitable for a first level character. In the first place you need to go to - the tombs - you're besieged by undead that can slaughter a first-level character with one hit!! Is there a reason for throwing a Curst Warrior that can deal 20 points of damage with one blow at a weakling charachter? I can't think of one. I'm going to try this again with a level 2 character that may stand at least a chance of surviving his first encounter.

No worries! Still a very good mod!

Back with this one. To the previous poster: * spoilers * You need a very special hammer a specific script will fire up if you have it. To the Author: I am re-playing the latest version and IMHO there is still a problem with the special recipe we need to use in the cave. True they are four solutions to the puzzle. It is easy to narrow them down to two using common sense (that powder you have you want it rolled? chopped? or what?). You still have to take a guess for the remaining two options (7 crystals + 8 ashes or 8 crystals + 7 ashes). Unless there is another book with clues I am quite sure that we have no data to pick the right one (w/o cheating). It would be OK (to reload) if it was posible to tell right away if you made the right thing or not but it is not the case. In fact, (it might be a typo) I am quite sure I tried it both ways and I still failed to make it work (you know where). Excellent module otherwise although a bit tough early on for non prime melee classes.

I thought it was a simple weapon so everyone could use it. Crap. If it absolutely doesn't work then I guess you are right in starting over.

Playing this with a rogue, and enjoying it so far.(It was hard for the first level, but I like it that way.) I have run into a little bit of a problem in the "Chemist's Cave" In fact I had to check the "Hints and Tips" Which I hate to do SPOILER To make the flash crystal, I need to hold the "rock" hammer (I assume it is the light hammer I found.) Unfortunately, my character is not proficient with that particular weapon type. Is there anyway around this? Have I got the right hammer? Should I abandon and start with a different class of character? Cheers, M

It is supposed to be hard. I always felt that the official campaigns could be completed by a 5 year old because they were so easy. I've played with every character and it is possible, although certainly some are easier than others.
