Useful Tricks and Glitches

Telekinesis Stacking

The "Telekinesis" spell can be cast multiple times and the effects stack. This allows the mouse pointer to have a great effect on object physics, including the player.

Bump Through Doors

This physics glitch allows the player to pass through some locked doors. First, stand as close to the door as possible. Drop a large stack of items (like apples or cider) one pixel away from the character's centre on the opposite side to the door. The game physics will cause the player to be flung away from the dropped items towards the door and sometimes the player will appear on the other side of the door.

The minimum amount of items for this to work varies between doors, usually between 2 and 4. For solid fences, the minimum is 6. More items increases the consistency.

The vanilla version of this trick only works with some doors, such as gates. Other doors are too thick and the player can get stuck in the middle of the door.

Wizards can have more success with larger doors by casting the "Wall" spell through the door first. This allows bumping through just about any type of door, but since the spell isn't available until late in the game this has limited use.

Some spells can be used as a substitute for dropped items, including:

• Fireball (including Fireball Staff)
• Telekinesis stacked at least twice
• Summon Troll / Ogre

This trick can also be used to bump through purple death rays.

Infinite Jump

This glitch allows the player to stay hovering in the air, avoiding any traps on the floor including lava and flames.

• Start running in any direction
• Jump
• In mid-jump, cast a spell while continuing to move in any direction - the player will keep floating as long as movement is sustained

Some spells do not seem to work with this glitch, but a good one is "Lesser Heal" which has no mana cost if the player is at full health. This glitch was patched out in one of the patches so it requires an early version, works in 1.0 at least.
