Monsters Ignore You
-------------------
Just open up the backpack (pressing B). Monsters seem to ignore you when 
you have the backpack open. You can hack and slash at them as you wish 
then. In order not to let the backpack obstruct your view, you could drag
it to the edge of the screen.
Note:From Ascension Designers: 

Using the cheats can cause certain parts of the game to "break". For example,
using the fly cheat can cause the player to possibly fly over crucial trigger
areas and flag-setting areas, causing triggers to be broken and some parts of
the story to not progress. The invulnerability cheat will also have a similiar
effect on the game. You may find yourself loading a savegame from much earlier
because a crucial trigger or flag was not set off at the appropriate place in 
the game. 


Older Cheat mode:
-----------------
Use a text editor to edit the "default.kmp" file in the game directory. Add 
the following lines below the "[Cheat Commands]" heading: 

alt+shift+a = toggle_avatar_invulnerable
alt+shift+b = pass_one_hour
alt+shift+c = unpass_one_hour
alt+shift+d = sunrise_sunset
alt+shift+e = pass_one_minute
alt+shift+f = unpass_one_minute
alt+shift+g = toggle_sun
alt+shift+h = toggle_wind
alt+shift+i = toggle_storms
alt+shift+j = toggle_avatar_fast
alt+shift+k = toggle_avatar_fly 
alt+shift+l = toggle_avatar_fly
alt+shift+i = toggle_avatar_invulnerable 

Then, press one of the following keys during game play to activate the 
corresponding cheat function.

desired key combination in the "default.kmp" file as described above. 

recharge_mana
fill_spellbook
spells_0-2
spells_3-5
spells_6-8 


Hidden teleporters:
-------------------
Locate the fence without a gate behind the Avatar's house. Climb on the nearby
training dummy and jump over the fence. Find the level hidden near a bush by the
large tree. Pull the lever to find teleporters that will equip your character 
with armor and allow travel to various places in Britannia. 
Note: You can not return by teleporter once you leave. 


Invisible to monsters:
----------------------
Press "B" to open your backpack and attack monsters. They will ignore you as 
long as the backpack remains open.


Hints: 
-----
* Before you leave Britain, make sure you search the hedge maze beside Lord
  British's castle. The flaming sword in the center of it will come in handy
  in the Despise dungeon. 

* The game is full of visual hints and clues. If you're in a room with archery
  targets and a dummy full of arrows, your bow is probably part of the solution
  to your immediate problem. 

* Hold on to your bags! Containers of any kind are hard to come by in the game,
  and you need them to extend your inventory. Never, never sell or drop a bag.


Body parts in refrigerator:
---------------------------
While in the Avatar's house, go to the kitchen. Look around for a refrigerator. 
Open and close the fridge door ten times. If done correctly, the last time you 
open the fridge, you will find many skinned body parts inside.


Kill Lord British:
------------------
When you start, go to the refrigerator find the rat poison, then use the 
breadmaker. When you get to Britain, go to his secret dining room. Replace 
the bread with the poison bread. Lord British will eat it and die. 
Note: Save before doing this since the guards will kill you.


Fish stuck in elevator:
-----------------------
In Hythloth, the elevator in the middle of the pool of poison water may get a 
fish stuck in it. If this happens, you cannot get on it to get to the yellow stand 
for the statue. Also, when you try to make the elevator come down it goes up after 
about three seconds, so you cannot reach it in time.


Invisible to monsters:
----------------------
Press B to open your backpack and attack monsters. They will ignore you as long 
as the backpack remains open. Please note: Drag the backpack to the edge of the 
screen for a better view.


Cure for Invisibility Overdose:
-------------------------------
If your Avatar has been drinking black potions often, you may find that he never
regains his solid appearance. While monsters may not be able to detect him, non-
player characters interact with him as if he is visible. This can be disturbing 
because he is difficult to see, especially in the dark. To cure this problem, 
drink another invisibility potion. The effect won?t happen immediately, but within
a few moments you will see that he is his old self again.


Free Inventory Bags:
--------------------
Inventory space in Ascension is limited to what you are carrying as well as available
spots in your backpack and on your belt. Each spot in your backpack and belt can be 
multiplied by nine using a ?magic bag? which can be found or purchased. Because there
are so many things you want to keep on hand and even more pick up while exploring, 
you are continually needing more room. Here?s a way to get one or more bags free.
Go the boxing (fist fight) trainer in Buccaneers Den. Before training with him, make
sure you are carrying your weapon and all spots are full in both your backpack and 
belt (including all spots in your existing bags). After training, he will return 
everything to you, but since you don?t have enough room, he will create a new bag
for you free. Remember, all spots must be filled and you must be holding at least
one item (a light source, weapon, shield etc.).

Other places this could happen (there are probably more):
1.While escaping jail when you find your backpack again and have picked up more items.
2.When Raven returns your stuff after finishing Blackthorne?s prison.


How to kill lord brittish:
--------------------------
When you start the game, you can make bread in a bread-machine in your kitchen. You
can put there flower sand rat-poison. After youll travel to britannia all of your 
items will disappear, except the bread. Put the bread in the castles' kitchen. As 
even kings have to eat, you will see lord british eat the cake and choke up, then 
help him out with your final blow.
