NOTE:
1)  Due to an irritating random element in the first part of the game, you might find the Angel of Death turns up earlier than anticipated and kills you before you have the chance to deal with him. There are quite a few bits of the game you can miss out to avoid this: the whole scene with the Door of Destiny is unnecessary and just boosts your score. Avoid it by continuing east after you escape from the demons at the start of the game and when you reach the chasm jump over it (providing you're still riding your stallion!) Also you can go directly south once you've got the shield. Neither the keys or the locket are really necessary and can be bypassed entirely.
2)  Make sure you remove the silver gauntlet at the end of part 1 otherwise it will have mysteriously disappeared when you load part 2!
3)  You'll need to rest and recover your strength at various times or risk death by hunger. In part 1 don't waste your food on this, just sleep. Save the food for part 2 when sleeping doesn't work any more.
4)  There are two sets of berries in the game. The solution above assumes you're getting the berries from the elf after you shake the tree. Both berries do exactly the same but if you're carrying the set from the location with the ogre nothing will happen when you shake the tree.
5)  Ensure that you enter the Door of Hope first, otherwise you'll find that you can't pick up the rod you'll find through the Door of Despair because the game assumes you're already carrying it!
