The space traveler and rogue guardian Sheltem has left the world VARN, where he was pursued by the relentless Corak the Mysterious and a party of local adventurers helping him. The Gates to Another World eventually takes all of them to another world, known as CRON. There, a great turmoil is caused by Sheltem's actions, and the heroes must stop his madness, preventing him from casting the planet into its own sun.
Might and Magic II is the second installment in the series, and a sequel to Secret of the Inner Sanctum . The gameplay is similar to the previous one, with the player creating a party of six characters and exploring vast first-person 3D environments, while fighting enemies in turn-based combat and leveling up. Enemy encounters occur at set points rather than spawning randomly, though enemy type selection is still random.
Character classes rely on specific attributes to be effective. The classic classes like Knight, Paladin, Archer, Cleric, Sorcerer, and Robber return, with the addition of two new classes, Ninja and Barbarian. Race selection features humans, elves, dwarves, gnomes, and half-orcs. Certain locations and items are restricted to specific genders, alignments, or races. A new feature allows characters to hire non-player characters to travel with the party and participate in battles. A new skill system is also introduced, allowing characters to learn abilities like mountaineering, linguist, cartographer, and others.
Compared to the first game, Might and Magic II focuses more on quests, with various townspeople giving quests to the party, as opposed to purely exploration-based traveling. Time plays a significant role in this game, with some instances requiring the party to travel to different time periods. Characters also age over time; if the player waits too long, the characters' statistics will change, and they will eventually die.

Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This fantasy role-playing game tasks players with exploring the troubled land of Cron to recover a legendary, lost Orb of power and defeat the elemental forces threatening the realm. Controlling a party of adventurers, players must navigate dangerous caverns, dungeons, and castles to battle hostile creatures and uncover hidden secrets. Along their journey, players can visit towns to heal their wounds at the cleric's house and level up their characters' skills and magic at the training grounds.
Story
The Story of Cron
"Sirrahs, hold there! Oh, pardon me m'lady! I thought ... your garb ..."
Forgive an old peasant his manners. I am Durak. 'Twill soon be dark and 'tis not safe for man nor beast alike to be about after the light 'o day hath passed. My village lies but a few paces south of here, if we hurry, we can all warm ourselves by the hearth at the inn 'ere darkness sets in.
"Dark times indeed have fallen upon fair Cron. Ah, but 'twas not always so. What's that? Ye've not heard the tales? Well, we've a ways to go and 'twill help to pass the time.
" 'Tis told that there was once four Lords. One who commanded the waters, another air, yet another the sun and fire, and one the very earth itself. They often fought amongst themselves for control over Cron, until finally, one Lord emerged triumphant. It was Gralkor The Cruel, Lord Emperor of the earth. But his conquest of the other Lords had not slaked the thirst for power and he demanded their complete submission.
Not long after that, man-like beings appeared in Cron - Humans, Dwarves, Elves and the like. They carried with them the knowledge of Spell Weaving - magic, aye - which they used to defend against the Elemental Lords. Eventually, they formed an Orb containing great power, which when nested amidst four talons - one for each element - became a mighty weapon that could subdue or slay the Lords.
Kahlon, a conjurer, stole the Orb and battled with the Elemental Lords in what was once the Savannah of Plenty, but hence has been known as the Quagmire of Doom. With the aid of the Orb's power, he imprisoned 3 of the Lords, sealing them at each corner of the earth. One talon each was placed before each cell to ensure none escaped.
Only Gralkor remained, and he was wounded. But he too, had learned the arts of weaving spells and summoned forth a beast of such girth and height, it near hid the sun! Using the creature, Gralkor fought. The beast breathed fire which consumed all in its path. Kahlon, foolishly, came forth to do battle, but was unable to call upon the waters in time. The ashes which remained and the Orb were swept away, when the waters finally fell. Gralkor and his creature were both drowned.
Upon his death, Kahlon's daughter took the throne, but she was not a strong leader. Now, our fields lay burning, my people starving and in fear for their very lives. If only the Orb could be recovered ...
Ah, well, we've reached the village inn. Let us enter."
Cleric's House
If your party has sustained any damage, and your Clerics are low in Spell Points, the House Clerics can heal your wounds for a fair price.
The House Clerics are always open to donations and will sometimes reward you with magical powers in return.
Training Grounds
When a character has collected a certain number of Experience Points, travel to the Training Grounds to build his/her level.
If your character is not quite ready to gain the next level, you will find out exactly how many EP you need before you can return. Magic users can also gain spell levels here.
The Castles
Breathtakingly beautiful and intricate, the Castles of Cron are wonders to behold.
Beneath each one lies a series of tunnels and dungeons which zig-zag their way in underground mazes. Explore every inch, for the solution to your quest may lie within its walls.
The Caverns
Below the city streets, in almost every region, lie the forbidding entrances of underground Caverns.
Treasures untold await the mortal brave enough to challenge its depths. For the darkest secrets can only be found within the murkiest chambers.
The Dungeons
Dungeons were built centuries ago below the castles of Cron. Their entryways have long since been hidden by time.
Many strongholds were also classified as dungeons because of their complexity. It would be unwise to venture in, unless your party is of higher levels.
Among other hideous creatures are angry skeleton-like beings that still seek revenge on their captors.

Delete Character: Removes characters permanently. Once characters are deleted, they cannot be revived.
Town Character Selection Options
When choosing the Go To Towns option, you can manage your party with these selections:
•

•
Main Menu: Toggle back to the main menu.
•

Character Creation Attributes
•
Gender: Does not affect vital statistics or restrict physical activities. A character can be male or female. Certain items or places may be restricted to members of one gender or another.
•
Name: A character's name can be up to twelve characters long. Use the A button to select between upper and lower case, and the B button to enter the name.
•
Experience & Levels: All characters begin at Level 1. As characters gain Experience Points in combat and training, they can visit a city training ground to increase their level. Gaining a level increases Hit Points, Spell Points, and attributes depending on profession.
•
Aging: Adventuring begins at age 18. As characters age, skills and vital statistics may deteriorate, and characters may expire by age 80. Some ointments or spells can reverse aging, but may have disastrous results.
•
Secondary Skills: Characters can learn up to two skills to increase adventuring abilities. Once learned, the entire party reaps the benefits. Skills can be forgotten if needed.

Character Conditions
A character's condition in full health is "GOOD". Undesirable conditions can be cured by visiting House Clerics or by a high-level travelling Cleric.
•
Unconscious: Occurs when HP reaches zero. Further damage results in death. Restoring the party at camp before further damage is taken will restore the character.
•
Asleep: Caused by a Sleep spell or an attack while resting. Can be counteracted quickly with an Awaken spell, or the character will eventually awaken naturally.
•
Poisoned: Caused by monster bites, poison items, or traps. Poisoned characters gradually lose HP even while resting, eventually leading to unconsciousness.
•
Diseased: Characters lose HP until death occurs. Often requires the expertise of House Clerics to cure.
•
Stone: Petrified characters cannot function until the condition is lifted. Petrification is not fatal, but healing becomes more difficult if prolonged.
•
Paralyzed: Caused by enemy attacks or triggered traps. Resting usually cures this condition.
•
Cursed: Caused by attacks, cursed items, or traps. Counteracted by a Remove Condition spell, Uncurse Item spell, or a trip to the House Clerics.
•
Dead: Can only be cured by a Raise Dead spell, Resurrection spell, or a trip to the House Clerics.
•
Eradicated: The most devastating condition. The only cure is an expensive trip to the House Clerics.
Hirelings
Hirelings are characters you can enlist for a set price to aid your party. They act like any other character and assist you throughout your adventure. You may employ up to two hirelings at any time, bringing your total party up to eight characters.
Non-Combat Commands
Press the B button to display the Options Screen menu. Use the control pad to move the cursor, the B button to select, and the Y button to cancel.
•
REST: Spend a night of deep sleep to restore some conditions and all Hit and Spell Points. Costs one unit of food per character.
•
SEARCH: Search the immediate area for treasure after a battle. When a chest is found, you can choose to Open it, Find/Remove Trap (best for Robbers/Ninjas), or Detect Magic/Trap
