ISHAR 2 - Solution
IRVAN's ISLAND
Go west, then north, and avoid the fight. Enter the village,
and play with the pump handle. Recruit Kudseac, pick up his
possessions, then kill him.
Visit the two inns to recruit four characters (preferable :
Eliandr, Zeloran, Fandhir and any warrior). Buy a sword, a
bow and some arrows from the armourer and some food from the
shopkeeper so you can recover your physical strength after
fights.
Go to the harbour (S-SW), and force a passage: take prisoner
and hand over to the village chief who then tells you what
your mission is. Return to the starting point. Kill the three
thieves, find the woman, and pick up the pendant. If your
strength is a bit low, eat some food, then return to the
village to recruit and to buy helmets and shields.
Go as far east into the forest as you can, then go north to
pick up the black and white mushrooms. Go to the extreme
north, pick up the dandelions, then fight the wasps. Enter
the forest clearing on the south side, and kill the orcs. For
the chief orc, you need to use as many arrows as possible.
Pick up the necklace.
Return to the village, hand the necklace to the chief, then
recover the boat. Eat, sleep, buy arrows, arms and food. Go
to the harbour, select the town landing-stage.
ZACH's ISLAND
Tip: When you travel trough the town, write down every shop
you encounter and all the prices for every armour, helmets,
weapons, shields... Don't buy anything. When you've got the
whole city on paper, and enough money, then buy the most
expensive helm, shield, weapon, armour... for everybody of
your team. So you avoid wasting your money when you discover
a better item than the previous shop got for you.
Tip: After fighting, always share the money that you pickup,
between your team members. Each member will be happy!
Go right through the town to the library at the extreme
northeast. Pick up the fortress parchment, and kill as many
enemies as possible (to gain money and experience). Buy food
and recruit if necessary. Eat and sleep to recover strength.
return to the harbour towards the fortress.

Follow the wall on the right, trying to keep moving east all
the time. Fight with skeletons, then go through the south
passage. Pick up the treasure in the cul-de-sac at the south
end, and the skull in the cul-de-sac to the east. Leave the
passage, continue east, then go south. In the large room, go
to the extreme south-east, then south, east, and then into
the corridor to the north. Activate the two handles on the
right and left walls. Continue north into the passage, and
follow the corridor into the large room. Activate the handle
on the wall to the north. Leave the passage again, go to the
extreme south-east, follow the corridor and pick up a skull
in the cul-de-sac. Go back into the corridor with the two
handles. Walk around the west wall, then on the other side
enter the room, pick up the treasure, skull and arms. Return
to the landing-stage, then go back to the town.
ZACH's ISLAND
Buy fighting gear, arrows and as much food as possible,
because big scraps are coming. Buy two monk's habits and five
fur coats from the clothes shop (not far from the harbour, in
the road leading to a small square to the north).
Go to the library, examine the parchment on potions, then go
west to the bank. Enter the street, and kill all of the
guards in one go(!) using the arrows and spells. Take the
door opposite, pick up(steal!!) 100,000 po. and deposit
10,000 of them in the bank on the opposite.
Go shopping: buy a magpie, a monkey, an eagle and a parrot
from the pet shop on the extreme south-east of the town.
Opposite is a super-armourer if you got the money... Go to
the south, then buy five ropes from the shopkeeper. Move
west, buy potions for the "troublesome priest" HUMBOLG spell
and "ent reviver" JABLOU spell. Continue to the west, and at
the next three crossroads go north, then west, then first
east. Kill the giant guard, which is a difficult task, then
regain strength because there are more fights to come.
Enter the "Blue Velvet" nightclub (only open at night), and
you are thrown in prison. Release the magpie through the
bars, pick up the key and open the cell. Put on five monk's
habits. In the fortress enter the passage between midnight
and 4am., pass the monk, and enter the sacrifice.
Recover the prison key from the monk's belt, then leave the
passage again. Find the invisible wall (where one of the
characters should notice a draught) and cross it. Leave the
prison, fight with the guards. For the next step you need at
least 10.000po. and an iron shield, if you have them, take
the boat for the island where you originally started (IRVAN)
IRVAN's ISLAND
Go as far east as you can, then follow the east coast. Find a
magician, give him 10,000po. then send out the eagle. Pick up
the mountain parchment. Return to the extreme west along the
coast, and when you find the standing stones continue to the
west end. Pick up the relic at the foot of the standing
stone. When Golem wakes up, kill him - remember though, most
spells won't work on him - then turn round and fight Golem a
second time. Return to the harbour. Select the mountains,
take the landing stage to the south.
JON's ISLAND
In the mountains you must put on the fur coats. Take off the
armour, and attach the ropes to avoid falling. Move east,

precipice. Go into the mountains, find a Rhinoceros, kill it
and take its horn. Return to the landing stage. Select the
mountains landings stage to the north-west. If necessary make
a return trip to the town for repairs. On leaving the

if you pass other invisible passages at the end of the maze.
Follow the corridor. In the east kill the lion-guard. At the
eastern end, click the prison key in the lock and all the
cells open. Turn around and in the first cell to the right
you can find treasures behind an invisible wall. In one of
the cells is a blind girl who you must recruit, so you must
dismiss either the archer or warrior (dont forget to take his
possession). In the second cell to the south, starting from
the west, is a secret passage through an invisible wall.

turn right and travel right around the block. Take the access
open to the north, then at the next crossroads go to the west
(not essential). In the maze fight against the orcs, pick up
arms and treasures, then to the north pick a fight with the
dragon. To kill the dragon, use the same principle as with

validated, otherwise you've had it. Use the healing spell as
often as necessary, and you can have several goes at killing
the dragon.
Continue to the north, pick up the treasures in the crannies.
At the next crossroads go north, then through the secret
passage in the north wall. Continue, and fight against the

the east. There's a mechanism to be activated in the small
room to the west. Carry on and fight the lion guards. The

and activate the mechanism. return to the crossroads, then go
down to the south.
Follow the corridors to the end, then find a small room with
a magician. Listen to what he says (don't hit him !), then
take the north access in the previous corridor. Put the
parrot in front of the ear and the passage opens. In the next
room, slalom otherwise you bash your head, then in the next
room move along the edges. Prepare psychic shelter, then
fight against Shandar in the north access. Kill him, go back
to the country - and that's it, you've finished .... look out
