Might and Magic IX [cheats&hints] Unlimited items: ---------------- When entering the locked door on the Isle of Ashes, open the chest to the right, just inside the door. Do not click on the book -- this will take you to the next part of the game. Instead, go back through the door and enter the Verhoffin Ruins. Do not enter the doors. You are not strong enough to kill the skeletons in there. While in here, go down the hall and around the corner to the end and open the chest. Take everything and leave. Go back to the now opened door and look at the chest. It should now be closed. Re-open it and take everything. Go back to the ruins, leave ruins, go back to chest, and the chest will be closed again. Keep going backwards and forwards collecting items from same chest. Note: This was done with the v1.2 patch of the game. Unlimited artifacts: -------------------- Go to Thjorgard Training Hall. Fall down the chandelier and go west. Break the crate where the black chest is located and get the artifact. Leave through the door with all the lizards and return. A different powerful artifact will be there every time. -- from lord x HEX CHEATS ~~~~~~~~~~ This is hex cheat so use a hex editor. First save the game and open your saved game using hex editor. There are two files for saves, you need to open one with extension of HDR (i.e. joker.hdr) 1. Health & Mana: If your max health is 40, then look for e8 00 00 28. Now, if you want max health to be 296, change it to e8 00 00 28 01. Your current health is after 3 pairs of 00s after your health. That is, if your spell point is 40, then it's e8 00 00 28 00 00 00 28 and last 28 is your mana. Your max mana is again located after 3 pairs of 00s from your current mana. 2. Your Stats: If your first two stats are 1 1 then look for 01 00 00 00 00 01. Other stats are located after 4 pairs of 00s. 3. Weapons: It's located right after your stats. The order of weapons are blade, cudgel, bow, spear, thrown, unarmed combat. The space between weapons are 3 pairs of 00s.
