Hi everyone, I think I've given up on Rebels of the Dark Chasms. If anyone could find a path which guarantees a 30% chance of beating the game, even with perfect initial rolls, a walkthrough would be appreciated.
Failing that, any way to complete the game would do.

@C-Star:
Really? Does that mean you completed Rebels Of The Dark Chasms? I didn't, and I'm pretty sure I've exhausted all permutations of choices. How did you do it?
I keep dying in the chase after breaking the alpha female character out of prison, providing that the lava section doesn't get me before that.
By the way, I agree that Hellfire is pretty hard - I only managed to beat it by reverse engineering a solution from the word version.

It's been a while ( about 7 months actually) since I won that, so memory's a bit fuzzy. How do you keep dying? I vaguely remember
SPOILER
Getting trapped by Khuddum Ghurskut, fighting him briefly, him dying automatically and the wall opening up behind me.

I don't remember that well - it's been about a year since I last fell into the lava and made a rage quit.
SPOILER
Is Ghurskut the one in the room who extinguishes the torch once you barge in? If so, how did you survive the dark? Or did you fight him somewhere else? Are there any secrets to be found other than the Gaddon chef before you enter the torture chamber?

SPOILER
I keep dying immediately after breaking you-know-who out of the cell and energizing her with the potion. There is a chase immediately after that, and I was given the option of going left, right or straight ahead. It seems that all three paths lead to a gruesome end. Am I missing an item?

I remember the junction, but not which one is right. One had a jump that you-know-who cannot do. She just dies. That option is wrong. Anyway, i think what happened is...
SPOILER
the choice i made led me to a dead end. When i got to this dead end, Ghurskut appeared (so it was a different area) and i fought him briefly. Half way through the fight, he auto-died and the wall opened behind me. I think the Gaddons helped me here.
END SPOILER
I'll replay it again if i have the time, hope I helped a bit at least.

Yeap I did it! However all the credits go to Mr. Taylor for writing up such a wonderful gamebook!

Ungrateful goblins!
SPOILER
You reach out, but the pouch is frustratingly just out of grasp. You stretch a little further, and touch it. But as you do so, you fall forward into the mud. You begin to panic as you realise you are stuck in the mud. You curse your greed as you slowly sink into the mire to your doom. Your adventure is over.

Awesome. Very nice

Nice one! Thanks for that

Good story. I will try to win next time

This had a great story line. I'm not usually a big fan of bottle necks where you have to do something specific to win, but it does make for a nice challenge in finding those things. Having the unseen mechanic of time limit was an interesting twist as well. The battles were well balanced, which was also nice. 94/100

damn my greed, sunk in the mud!

Am I right that 1 of the 2 paths in the very first section already leads to a delayed failure? Kind of a waste to devote so many sections to what looks like a doomed adventure. Also, the companions feature is interesting, but also a waste because the optimal/true path doesn't actually make use of them....

Great story, however, It was hell to get through ! Of course there’s a great ending if you are willing to restart enough times (because you WILL die) but you need the luck of Loki to get there. I’ve seen plenty of other gamebooks and choose-your-own-adventure but this made everything else look like Skyrim on Novice while you’re here playing Darksouls on steroids. When I finally reached the end, it felt like I wanted to jump out of my skin I was so pumped. Great gamebook, I’m never playing this again.

I’ve spent so much time chewing the dwarf out for dying, I’ve nicknamed him Ratnugget.
