In-Game Cheats

There are a lot of cheats available for HoMM2. The ones below are the ones that I have personally confirmed. Be aware that using any of the below cheats will list you as a cheater on the high-score list. Would you take the easy way out, or play with honor? The other side of the issue is,"What good is honor if you've been defeated?"

You type in these cheats by using the top row of keys on your keyboard.

Enter: Does:
911 You win the scenario instantly.
1313 You lose the scenario instantly.
1911 Jump to the last level.
8675309 Reveals the entire world map.
32167 Select a hero and enter the code. The hero will get 5 Black Dragons if he has space for them.

The Ultimate Cheat

What'd you know? Those programmers at NWC put the best cheat right into the game! It's called the Debug Mode. To use it, simply follow the steps:

  1. Do one of the next two steps:
  2. Right-click the Heroes of Might and Magic 2 icon on your desktop and choose properties;
  3. Click the Start button and go to Settings to Taskbar and Start Menu. Click the Start Menu tab, and choose Advanced. Navigate to where the icon is located in the Start menu. Right-click the icon and choose properties.
  4. Having done one or the other of the above two, in the Target field, type a space at the end of the file path, and type (without the quotes) "/NWC".
  5. The file path should now end like HEROES2W.EXE /NWC.
  6. Click OK to close all the windows. Run the game by clicking on the icon you modified. Start a new game, and start playing. Press, on your keyboard, [F4] and the game should appear in a window. Besides the regular file menu items, there should be Debug!

With the debug mode, you can give more spell points and movement to your heroes, more resources, and grant yourself huge armies!

Editors, etc.

There are a fair number of savegame editors and trainers for HoMM2 available on the internet. Just use your favorite search engine to search for HoMM2 editors or HoMM2 Trainers. Try them out!

I've got one really good save-game editor available on my Downloads page. Try it out first! And using it doesn't get you listed as a cheater on the high-score list!
