Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Players can take the role of one of four heroes. Which is not a hero in Hero Quest?

Answer: Warrior

Hero Quest's warrior race is called Barbarian. The other three heroes are Dwarf, Elf and Wizard.

2. The Barbarian is the strongest, the Elf and the Wizard are spell-casters. What is the Dwarf's special ability?

Answer: disarming traps

Other heroes can disarm traps if they have a tool kit. The odds of a Dwarf disarming a trap is 5:1. The odds of another hero disarming a trap even with a tool kit is 1:1.

3. The rule book suggests which type of spells the Elf and the Wizard should use. Which does it suggest for the Elf?

Answer: Earth

The rule book suggests that the Elf take the Earth spells, and the Wizard take the Air, Water, and Fire spells.

4. What is the name of the dungeon master and the heroes' enemy?

Answer: Zargon

Zargon is the dungeon master- he controls the monsters on the board and holds the quest key. Witch Lord is a nemesis in several quests. The First Evil is from 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer'.

5. Combat dice have 3 skulls, 2 white shields and 1 black shield. What does a hero need to roll to defend an attack?

6. There are four types of traps: pit, falling block, spear and furniture traps. Furniture traps' consequences are different for each quest. Of the other three, what could be the deadliest?

A hero always loses 1 body point when springing a pit trap. Spear traps can be dodged by rolling any shield on 1 dice, chances are fifty-fifty. The falling block trap is the deadliest since you must roll three combat die and lose 1 body point for every skull (the most common symbol on the dice).

A sprung falling block trap also blocks the corridor and could possibly trap your heroes in the dungeon.

7. Searching for treasure can bring great fortune or great danger. What outcome is not a treasure card?
