I had recently got arena working, and I finally started playing it, at the end of the first dungeon it says to look in the manual, I was dissapointed to find out that the manual wasn't included in the download... so if someone would please give me a download link to a .pdf version of the manual to this game, it would be greatly appreciated

Interestingly enough I had to do this for the very first time yesterday too! With my download there's a docs folder under the arena directory. In there is a text file with all the point values.

Hope that helps.

Probably to look for the password. It can be found in this path in ya folder:

C(or whatever ya install it to):\ARENA\Docs

Its the Passwords.txt.

If ya want to read the manual, someone was able to put it in a site: http://www.svatopluk.com/arena/manual/

Distributing actual scans of the original manual draws the ire of Bethesda's legal team. They're one of the few publishers to actively request DMCA takedowns over things like that.

I just figured that if they released the game for free and it needs the manual, they should at least release the manual for free, or at least the parts you need

Michael Kirkbride consumed all manuals in his failed attempt to assimiliate Elder Scrolls canon into his own mortal form.

What you are looking for is given to you. it is located in the game files. look through the files where you downloaded it.
