Wizardry: Knight of Diamonds - The Second Scenario

It uses the same engine and spells, but is scaled for importing existing characters rather than creating a new party.

Players explore a 3D wire frame maze searching for a key item, the Staff of Gnilda, required to complete the game.

The player creates a party of up to 6 characters of various classes, and then gain experience points by fighting random encounters.

The maze has many hidden doors and secrets, so the player is encouraged to map out each floor on graph paper to find their way.

The story takes place after the events of the first game.

The mad king Trebor has committed suicide after becoming obsessed with the amulet and fearing the return of Werdna.

With both Trebor and Werdna dead all seemed well within the kingdom of Llylgamyn.

Unfortunately, this peace didn't last very long.

With Werdna dead and out of the limelight, an evil knight named Davalpus felt it was time to make his move.

He stormed the castle, slaughtered the royal family, and declared himself supreme dictator for life.

The Prince of the land fought and killed Davalpus using the legendary Staff of Gnilda and wearing the armor of the Knight of Diamonds.

However, the god Gnilda took the staff back and placed it deep within his heavily guarded six-level temple.

Since the staff's power protects the land from invasion by hostile outlanders, someone will need to venture into the temple and get the staff back along with Gnilda's blessing.

Though Knight of Diamonds is the second scenario in the series, it was the third game in the series released for Famicom/NES.

The NES version was redesigned to be played by new parties and the maps were re-designed to be non-linear.

This makes the NES version more like a unique entry in the series rather than a port of the computer versions.

Wizardry: Knight of Diamonds - The Second Scenario for Nintendo Entertainment System is currently worth €60.16 loose, €60.16 complete in box, and €60.16 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Wizardry: Knight of Diamonds - The Second Scenario has only a handful of tracked market sales, suggesting relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo Entertainment System titles.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Wizardry: Knight of Diamonds - The Second Scenario, loose is €60.16 and CIB is €60.16 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.
