INTRODUCTION
o---------------------o
Transylvania 2: Crimson Crown is the second game in the Transylvania series for
various systems. Since I have done an FAQ for the first game already for the
Apple II, I might as well finish the series on the Apple II.
o---------------------o
OVERVIEW
o---------------------o
The king and queen have died. Now it is up to you to guide Princess Sabrina and
her brother, Prince Erik (heir to the throne) through Transylvania and get back
the crown that was stolen by the evil vampire who intends to uncover the secret
of the crown so he can rule over Transylvania.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A great force hurls your spirit into darkness. A spectral shadow appears. It is
the vampire!
The vampire snarls "Your life means nothing to me, nor can you do anything to
stop me. You are a mere lump of insignificant human flesh. Surrender Sabrina
and the boy to me now, and your deaths will be quick and painless."
Suddenly, another force seizes you and sends you into a chamber of blinding
white light...
A friendly silhouette steps forth and greets you.
"Would that we had met in better times, my brave friends! For the vampire now
threatens the land from the new fortress. You must go there and destroy the
vampire before he learns the secrets of the crown! Make Haste, and may the good
wings of fortune grace your perilous journey! Before you leave, though, take
this--"
"This conversation has ended!"
The image of the vampire springs before you. He laughs cruelly as blood boils
brightly in the malevolent depths of his crimson eyes. Suddenly the crystal
sphere explodes and the earth trembles!
Franctically, the princess drags you out of the room as the cavern collapses
onto itself, showering your party with flying debris.

have played into my hands," laughs the Vampire, "did you truly believe I knew
nothing of your journey and your plans to do away with me? Did you think it

rolls through the chamber, the noise contorts into a voice not of this realm,
"Fools! You dare to defy me? Then feel my wrath!!!"

you but fail to crash through the buckler's unfailing steel. Surprised, the

Sabrina: "Hurry! We must get to where it is safer!"
You are in a maze of dungeon cavern. Twisty passages lead north, south, east,
and west. A salty breeze blows through the chamber.
Command: E
You are standing by a long lonely seaside. A seagull flies by. A lone path
leads west.

The ground shakes! Rocks fall from above and the ground spouts fire and smoke.

The dragon's roar trails off as though he were being strangled...
Sabrina: "It doesn't sound like our friend will make it."

The vampire's strangled shout joins the dragon's. The mountain is shaking so
much that you can barely stand let alone run.

A merchant ship comes into view from around the cove! The Chamberlain had
called upon traders passing through to repay old favors of King John and
venture forth as close as possible to the fortress without compromising their
safety. Having seen the eruption, they came for a closer look and spotted you
approaching the beach! They send forth a small boat, and bring you aboard the
ship!
Sabrina: "We've escaped!"
Suddenly the largest tremor yet rocks the ship and all around, and in a cloud
of dust the mountain collapses upon itself!
Erik: "Nothing inside could have survived!"
With that, you realize that your ally too must be gone, and the sudden silence
after the collapse extends to your souls.
Erik: "This was a mission... an adventure. Now I must take my new responsibili-
ties and assume my father's role, a role I pray I can fill as justly as he.
Without you, friend, this would not have been possible. I thank you. And I
thank our other unexpected friend who gave himself for us. I shall name this
sword 'Fury' in his honor, and I shall hang it upon the castle wall where it
can be viewed by all!"
Sabrina: "And where all shall be safe from it!"
THE END.
