Diskette Images
The very first Wizardry, Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord, was on two physical 5-1/4” floppy
diskettes for the Apple II microcomputer. Since it was programmed in Pascal, it must be booted from Slot
6. Wizardry PG v3.0 comes in diskette images as well as in a ProDOS version which opens up the
possibilities for more disk options.

Fans all around the world have digitalized the contents of thousands of these diskettes into disk image files
ending with the extension “.dsk”. Think of each DSK file being a physical diskette.

These diskette images can be applied to real floppy diskettes to be played on vintage Apple II computers.

Here are the DSK image files you will be working with through an Apple II emulator:

Disk Title: Wizardry Proving grounds v3.0 Boot Disk

Disk Image File: Wizardry-Proving-Grounds-v3.0-Boot-dd-mmm-yyyy.dsk

- This is a 140K 5.25" disk image. Boot this disk to start Wizardry.

o No need to make this file read-only anymore since the write-protect check is disabled in this
version.

Disk Title: Wizardry Proving Grounds v3.0 Scenario Disk

Disk Image File: Wizardry-Proving-Grounds-v3.0-Scenario-dd-mmm-yyyy.dsk

- This is a 140K 5.25" disk image. Scenario side with the most recent fixes and enhancements.

Disk Title: Wizardry Proving Grounds v3.0 ProDOS Disk

Disk Image File: Wizardry-Proving-Grounds-v3.0-dd-mmm-yyyy.po

Boot this 800K 3.5" ProDOS disk image. The command to start Wizardry is: -WIZARDRY.PG

AppleWin – An Apple ][ Emulator

AppleWin is currently the most popular, and still developed, Apple II emulator that runs on the Windows
operating system.

The latest AppleWin version can be downloaded here: https://github.com/AppleWin/AppleWin/releases

For Mac users, the most popular Apple II emulator is Virtual ][ from: https://www.virtualii.com/

AppleWin Installation

First, create a directory of your choice such as C:\Wizardry where you will put all the Apple II emulator
files, the Wizardry disk image files, as well as companion files.

You can use Windows’ file manager itself (Right click the .zip file > Extract All…) or any other popular
zip file utility to unzip the emulator, disk image files, and companion files. For ease of use, you can unzip
everything in the same folder.

How to start the emulator

From Windows, run the “Applewin.exe” program to start the emulator, or create a shortcut icon of it
on your desktop and double-click it in order to start the emulator.

In the AppleWin emulator, click the “Joystick/Speaker” button and do the following configuration. Note:
50% scan lines is UNCHECKED. Note: CTRL-F6 switches between 1x size and 2x size the emulator
window size is (2x size is best).
 Page 5
How to use the Emulator

The button resizes the emulator to full screen and back, BUT… you probably will want to use
CTRL-F6 instead to resize the emulator to 2x window size, which will work better with today’s high-
resolution monitors.

Use the button to set the speed. You probably want maximum speed when modding. You probably
want the speed set at 1.2x (original speed), or 2x when playing.

Use the button to select the disk image to load in diskette drive 1. The computer always starts with
this diskette drive.

Use the button to Start/Run/Reboot/Reset the computer.

 Page 6

Early Survival Tips

Surviving until your characters reach character level 2 or 3 can be somewhat difficult.

To make it easier, use the Katino spell a lot on non-undead monsters.

Do not hesitate to Dispel undead monsters.

Fighters starting with 18 strength makes a big difference.

Backup your scenario often when you make progress, a simple copy/paste of the scenario diskette image
will do. This way, if your party gets slaughtered, you can restart from your backup.

Start the Game

Once you have started the emulator, load your diskette image files this way:

1. Click the Diskette Drive 1 button on the toolbar and select the disk image file, for example to run the
Wizardry game: Wizardry-Proving-Grounds-v3.0-Boot.dsk (Remember that file’s attribute must be
set to read-only). For the ProDOS version, attach its disk image to slot 7.
2. Click the Run/Reset/Boot button (that is the button representing an Apple) on the toolbar to boot that
disk.
3. Press the space bar to end the splash introductory graphics screen and press S)TART.
4. The emulator then asks: SCENARIO MASTER IN DRV 1, PRESS [RET]. Click the Diskette Drive 1
button on the toolbar and select they disk image file Wizardry-Proving-Grounds-v3.0-Scenario.dsk
and press the Enter/Return key.
5. The emulator then asks: MASTER/DUPLICATE IN DRV 1, PRESS [RET]. Press the Enter/Return key
once more without changing disks.
6. The game starts at the C)astle:
• Go to E)dge of Town, then T)raining Grounds to created character.
• Go to G)ilgamesh’ Tavern to pick up your characters for your party of 6.
• Go to E)dge of Town, then M)aze to start adventuring.
7. You can adjust the speed of the emulator by clicking the button representing a joystick and speaker, the
original speed is 1.0 MHz. Suggest start at least at 1.2 Mhz. The game runs quite smoothly at 2.0 Mhz.
Character Generation Page 7

The game starts at the Castle. To create your characters, choose option E)dge of Town, and then T)raining
Grounds. There are sample characters available for a quick start.

You will need to create a party of at least 6 characters to begin with. Note that only the first three characters
of your party can fight hand to hand. If characters die, then they are placed at the end of the party for the
remainder of your trip in the maze and others move ahead one spot. The last three characters in you party
are usually of the magic using types. You can replace characters at will at the Gilgamesh’s Tavern in the
Castle. You can create a maximum of 20 characters per scenario disk.

There are 5 races to choose from:

Race Beginning characteristics
Strength I.Q. Piety Vitality Agility Luck Total
Human 8 8 5 8 8 9 46
Elf 7 10 10 6 9 6 48
Dwarf 10 7 10 10 5 6 48
Gnome 7 7 10 8 10 7 49
Hobbit 5 7 7 6 10 15 50

Characteristic increase when leveling up at the Adventurer’s Inn.

There are 8 classes to choose from:

Classes Alignment
Fighter Any
Mage Any
Priest Good or Evil
Thief Neutral or Evil
Bishop Good or Evil
Samurai Good or Neutral
Lord Good
Ninja Evil

Good and Evil characters cannot be in the same party.

Here are the classes’ minimum characteristics:

Classes Abilities Minimum characteristics
Fighter Fighter Strength: 11
Mage Mage spells I.Q.: 11
Priest Priest spells, dispel Piety: 11
Thief Fighter, identify/disarm chests Agility: 11
Bishop Mage and priest spells, dispel, id items I.Q.: 12, Piety: 12
Samurai Fighter, mage spells (begin at level 3) S: 15, I: 11, P: 10, V: 14, A: 10
Lord Fighter, priest spells (begin at lvl 3), dispel S: 15, I: 12, P: 12, V: 15, A: 14, L: 15
Ninja Fighter, id/disarm chests, natural armor All 15 (new enhancement!)

Tip: The Elf, Dwarf, Gnome, are the easiest to make a starting Samurai. They require only 18 random
points to assign while creating it. You cannot create a starting Lord. You can switch classes at the Training
Grounds whenever you reach the necessary minimum requirements for a particular class.
 Page 8

What If…

What if you are having a hard time beating some monsters.

1. A balanced party makes a big difference. For example, a party of 2 fighters, a thief, a priest, a bishop,
and a Mage make a strong starting party. The bishop can be swapped for another character at level 7 or
8 since it can identify items as needed and it costs just too much experience points to level it up more.
Use the Katino spell often in the beginning to slow down the competition, and do not be afraid of using
the Dispel ability onto undead monsters. Level 1 fighter-type classes with 18 strength help a lot when
starting the game.

2. Maybe your party is not strong enough yet to take on those monsters. Take on easier monsters for a
while to gain experience points and make a few levels then try those tough monsters again.

3. Try a different strategy, some spells work better against some monsters than others. In addition, some
weapons do double damage against certain types of monsters, equip your party accordingly.

4. The deeper you go in the maze, the stronger the monsters. Encounters are random and you are bound to
run into a very strong bunch of baddies from time to time. Also, it will happen that your characters will
be at the wrong place at the wrong time and will get into big trouble. Backup the scenario disk image
often to recover.

What to do if your entire party is slaughtered in the maze.

1. Backup the file scenario .dsk file often so that you can start over from where you last backed up.

2. Or, if you want to do it like in the old days, during a losing battle click the Apple button on the toolbar
to reset the computer before you see the cemetery. This would be like hitting the famous RESET button
on the original Apple II keyboard. After that you can insert and start the boot disk and go to the
U)tilities, and then R)ecover your characters. A word of caution: if you click the button at the exact
same time the cemetery is drawn there is a small chance to destroy the data on the disk image and
you’ll have to revert to 1. above.

3. Send the scenario to me at [email protected] and I will fix your characters. Or, use one of the
Wizardry editors yourself to recover your characters.

Gaming Opportunities

Spoiler Alert!

There are a few places in the game that gives the player the opportunity for better loot and farming.

- On Level 1, North 5, East 13. You can enter the room as much as you want to farm the Murphy’s
Ghosts for a decent amount of experience points.

- On Level 1, North 19, East9. Entering this room teleports you directly to the Castle.

- On Level 3, North 17, East 13. There is a special encounter with slightly stronger monsters for
better loot. This special encounter occurs only 5 times.

- On Level 4, North 16, East 10. You can enter the room as much as you want to farm monsters
which incidentally also give some loot.

- On Level 6, there is an Easter Egg to be found. It was disabled by mistake on the original 2.1
release.

- On Level 7, North 9, East 2. There is a special encounter with Fire Dragons for better loot. This
special encounter occurs only 4 times.
 Page 10

Game Tips and Calculations

The Bishop has the ability to identity correctly items found in the maze. The alternative is to pay for this
service at Boltac’s.

The Temple of C)ant at the Castle helps revive dead or incapacitated characters. See important notes about
resurrection at the end of the Priest spells list.

Fighter, Samurai, and Lord get 1 extra attack for every 5 levels, the Ninja has one extra swing on top of that
which means a Level 1 Ninja starts with 2 swings.

Fighter, Priest, Samurai, Lord, and Ninja have a naturally higher hit probability than other classes.

If unarmed, the Ninja’s AC (Amour Class) = 10 - Ninja Level. The lower, the better. This is a Wizardry
PG v3.0 enhancement!

If a Ninja hits with damage, then the Ninja has ( 10 * Level ) % chance with a maximum of 50% chance to
score a Critical Hit, then the monster has ((Monster Level + 10) / 35) % chance to avoid it, which means a
monster over Level 25 cannot be Critically Hit.

The younger you are the more chances you will gain attributes when leveling up (ex: 86% at age 18).

Your characters’ Strength has effect on the hit chance probability and damage per swing:
Strength 3: -15% chance to hit, -3 damage per swing
Strength 4: -10% chance to hit, -2 damage per swing
Strength 5: -5% chance to hit, -1 damage per swing
Strength 16: +5% chance to hit, +1 damage per swing
Strength 17: +10% chance to hit, +2 damage per swing
Strength 18: +15% chance to hit, +3 damage per swing
So, for example, your Level 10 Ninja with a Strength of 18 can do up to 12 free damage points per attack
with his 4 swings, all of it with 15% more chance to hit, this is significant.

The higher you I.Q. (Mage Spells) and Piety (Priest Spells), the faster you learn much needed spells. It
really is great to get two Malor (teleport) spells at level 13 for a Mage for example.

Fighter, Lord gain 1 to 10 hit points per level on average.

Priest, Samurai gain 1 to 8 hit points per level on average.
Thief, Bishop, Ninja gain 1 to 6 hit points per level on average.
Mage gain 1 to 4 hit points per level on average.
 Page 11
Your characters’ Vitality has an effect on how many hit points are gained per level up:
Vitality 3: -2 hit points per level
Vitality 4,5: -1 hit points per level
Vitality 16: +1 hit points per level
Vitality 17: +2 hit points per level
Vitality 18: +3 hit points per level
This is the most important stat of your character, no doubt. Also, the higher your Vitality the higher the
chances you will survive a resurrection attempt.

Initiative, or if you prefer who goes first in a battle, is a random number of 1 to 9 with 1 being the lowest
and is modified by your character’s Agility:
Agility 3: +3
Agility 4,5: +2
Agility 6,7: +1
Agility 15: -1
Agility 16: -2
Agility 17: -3
Agility 18: -4
By the way, the monsters’ initiative is a random number of ((0 to 7) + 2).
While fighting unarmed, the Ninja gains a Combat Initiative Bonus of 1 point (10%) for every 3 levels,
this is a Wizardry PG v3.0 enhancement!

The Thief has ((RANDOM 0 to 99) < (6 * Agility)) chance to identify a trap, the
Ninja has ((RANDOM 0 to 99) < (4 * Agility)) chance, both up to a maximum of 95%.
Other classes have ((RANDOM 0 to 99) < (1 * Agility)) chance. Calfo has 95%
chance.
If your character fails to identify a trap there is a ((RANDOM 0 to 19) >
Agility) chance they will activate the trap, if not, then a random trap
identification is displayed.
The Thief or Ninja's chance to disarm a trap is ((RANDOM 0 to 69) < (Character
Level - Maze Level + 50)). Other classes have ((RANDOM 0 to 69) < (Character
Level - Maze Level)).
If your character fails to disarm a trap there is a (Agility < (RANDOM 0 to 19))
chance they will be given another opportunity to disarm it, otherwise, they have
just set it off!

The higher your Luck the greater the chance (5% at 6, 10% at 12, 15% at 18) you will avoid being
Poisoned, Stoned, Paralyzed or Auto-Killed (Critically Hit), or reduce Breath attack damage by half, as
well as escape Anti-Mage, Anti-Priest, and Poison Gas traps.

On top of Luck, you have a character’s ( Level * 2 ) % chance up to a maximum of 50 % to avoid being
Critically Hit.

Resistances bonuses:
- vs. Poison & Paralysis: Fighter 15%, Samurai 10%, Lord 10%, Ninja 15%, and if race is Human 5%.
- vs. Stoning: Priest 15%, Bishop 10%, Lord 10%, Ninja 10%, and if race is Gnome 10%.
- vs. Breath Attacks: Thief 15%, Ninja 15%, and if race is Dwarf 20% to reduce the Breath damage by half.
- vs. Poison Gas chest trap: Thief 15%, Ninja 15%, and if race is Dwarf 20%.
- vs. Anti-Mage and Anti-Priest chest trap: Mage 15%, Bishop 10%, Samurai 10%, Ninja 10%, Hobbit 15%
- vs. all of the above: 5% for every 5 Levels of your character.
 Page 12

You will encounter a maximum of 2 monster groups on level 1, a maximum of 3 on level 2, and up to 4
beyond.

You will encounter a maximum of 5 monsters per monster group on level 1, 6 on level 2, 7 on level 3, 8 on
level 4, and 9 beyond.

Each party member has ( IQ + Piety + Level ) % chance to identify correctly monsters.

The way the monster’s magic resistance works is in two main steps:
- First, a % saving thrown against their natural Magic Resistance, which is for most a low number.
- Second, all other magic calculations depend on your and their: Level, resistances (Fire, Cold, Etc.),
properties (Stone, Paralyze, Etc.), class (Fighter, Dragon, Undead, Etc.), Luck, condition (Asleep, Held,
Silenced, etc.), and base, minimum, and maximum chances.

When you hit a sleeping or held monster you do double damage!

Your character’s chance to recuperate from Katino is ( 10 * Character Level ) % up to a maximum of 50%.

Monsters of Level 6 or lower have less chance to recuperate from Manifo than from Katino, after Level 6 it
is the same.

Montino has a 10% better chance to work than Manifo.

A monster has ( 6 * monster Level ) % chance to resist Lakanito.

There is a minimum 5% chance to resist Katino, Manifo, Montino.

A monster has a minimum 25% chance to resist Badi.

The Priest has the ability to dispel undead creatures back to their plane! The Bishop (beginning at level 4
but with 20% less chance) and Lord (beginning at level 9 but with 40% less chance) have the same dispel
ability. Although you do not get experience points for dispelling undeads, it may save your life!
