I NTRODUCTION

If you’ve already started playing Might and Magic IX, you know that it’s a long and complex game.

Or maybe you don’t; it can be rather deceptive. It starts out easily enough, on a mostly deserted

island with only a few scrawny foes. It’s as you plunge in deeper that you’ll find your options

multiply—along with your enemies. There’s so much to do and so many places to go that you may

feel overwhelmed. That’s where this strategy guide comes into play. You’re holding the compre-

hensive guide to Might and Magic IX—a combination atlas and encyclopedia. You can read it straight

through like a novel, or use it as a reference and look up only the information you need. Regardless

of how you read the book, you should know a bit about its structure.

Chapters 1 through 3 offer solutions for typical situations in the game. They give advice on

how to create an effective party, how to develop your characters, and how to fight Chedian’s

numerous monsters. These chapters can be read freely without revealing the many surprises and

unique locales of the game.

Chapter 4 is a sort of mini-atlas of Chedian. It provides a comprehensive list of the teachers,

clarifies the all-important boat schedule, and discusses common features that you’ll find in every

city, province, and dungeon. You’ll learn a few secrets from this chapter, but nothing that reveals the

game’s essential plot.

Chapters 5 and 6 are where the real “spoilers” come into play. Chapter 5 lists every quest in

the game, and explains how to complete them. Chapter 6 provides maps and information on every

territory and dungeon in the game, along with notes on what you’ll encounter there. These are

powerful tools, but read them sparingly to avoid spoiling all the game’s surprises.

Finally, Chapters 7 and 8 are comprehensive references to the game’s monsters and items,

respectively. These chapters explain which weapons are best, which monsters are deadliest, and what

sort of attacks to use when fighting specific types of enemies.

Ultimately, it’s up to you to decide how to use this book. Whichever reading style maximizes

your enjoyment of the game is undeniably the best style to use.

With that said, let’s make our way into the uncharted territories of Chedian. There are deadly

monsters to slay, glorious quests to complete, and untold riches to acquire. Keep this guide close at

hand, and victory will be yours.
