Make sure to always have plenty of food when embarking to a new dungeon section in case you need to sit and spin. And I would always "sit and spin" next to a door in case of a random monster encounter that I might have needed to run away from. :1)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-10112436617782003032021-06-08T01:11:25.976-04:002021-06-08T01:11:25.976-04:00Salve is very useful, especially early on in the g...Salve is very useful, especially early on in the game. Every character should carry a jar and [U]se it when hit points get low in the midst of a combat.<br />As I recall, the Plane Nexus somehow assists in summoning elementals.<br />The cross assists the Priest in turning undead.<br />I never figured out use for the sprig of athelas, aconite extract or cruse of oil were for. <br />Never tried the Necronomicon, Tome of Ruination etc.<br />Loved the long hallway between Urran and Urshas for random monster encounters to level up. The game is way more fun when leveled up so as to survive the combats. Also as mentioned in this thread level up and gather gold with certain repeating encounters by not taking the key (wizard in caverns et cetera). GREAT GAME. Arguably the best RPG ever. I kid you not.

It was always confusing whether a) I just needed to keep casting spells until they opened; b) I needed some kind of key or passcode; or c) I needed to wait and come back with more spell power. And then the whole closing-behind-you bit.<br /><br />It's good to hear about your experiences, though.

I'...Might as well post my progress report here. I'm not reading all of the post above, since there's obviously (the screenshots tell me) stuff I haven't encountered yet.<br /><br />I did solve the pool puzzle. But most of the clues, I couldn't figure out. When I reached the secret door and it talked about the devotion of my priest, "faith" seemed pretty obvious. I knew it was a five-letter word because the hangman game had five words. But I couldn't even figure out five clues meant five letters! Let alone that "Fear Alone Is The Hangman" spells it out. Oh well, not a bad puzzle if there's several ways to figure it out, huh?<br /><br />Another fun thing is the long cavern, which hosts the pool puzzle and several side attractions. I traveled quite far along it several times, only to turn back and run for the previous sanctuary. I described this in my previous comment, and like I said I once lost my priest for good. Good times, really felt the pressure when fleeing. The funny thing is, the next sanctuary was just around the corner, I was just too anxious to push onwards! You start to encounter more tough enemies in the end, or so it seemed. I really like how the cavern is long enough to feel like a long trek, but not overly long to feel just empty space and padding.<br /><br />The next area (that you seem to have explored already judging by the screenshots), had me trapped in a place with a secret door out, but I couldn't just force it open, and my priest was out of power to pray it to open. I guess I could have done it, if the priest wasn't on lower level than the rest of the party due to having to hire a new one. There's no way to rest properly outside of sanctuaries, is there? So I was practically stuck and had to restore a back-up.<br /><br />I'll probably be back to this game sometime soonish, I hope. It's a really, really good game, it's just fallen to the side for me.<br /><br />--Einoevktalohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02010922034775065868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-60737966244761554992012-10-31T22:55:33.979-04:002012-10-31T22:55:33.979-04:00CRPG Addict; What about audiologs?
