This solution does not guarantee that you will win all the available treasures and get the "best ending". That is down to the random dice rolls when facing monsters. However it should ensure that you reach the end in one piece.
For the sake of simplicity we assume that all creatures are beaten in combat. If you lose and are forced to flee, as per the rules, you lose 1 strength point.
The walkthrough isn't the only way through the book but takes you through one of several safe paths, with a minimum of strength point losses, maximum items/spells acquired and chooses only the weakest monsters to fight in any one monster section. The wound points of the creatures fought are included in brackets, with a maximum strength monster of 4 hit points.
