I found a similar thing when playing through. The groups became a lot easier once many of them started running away! Also, it seems that some spells are set for Teleport to fail. However, Jump or Etherialize can still work. If I recall correctly, that trap could have just been jumped over. I know that you can jump over the trap to get to the button. That was nice that all of the Master Archers ran away. I did that fight so many times before I was able to beat it. Maybe I was just underleveled, but those guys hit so hard.

yep, we use graph paper and we plotted each square and looked at what would appear to be a unreached area and we would try to figure out how to get into that area. When this game came out, there were no Internet guides. However, the game companies would create hint guides that you could purchase separately that gave you all the answers to the hidden items,the strength of items, and what items were used for. I know this is way after when you posted this, but thought I would add my thoughts related to this when it originally came out.

I am still playing through the game blindly, but I believe that one of the idols for Og has already been found. I think it was in the Minotaur's Stronghold. I could be wrong, though, because I haven't found another yet.The Volcano God has 30 AC, so he is quite tricky to hit.

In Sorpigal, there is a statue that talks about Og.

The Medusa fight was a bit disappointing. To be fair, the Medusa Head is much like the Wyvern Eye or Dragon Tooth fights. You fight a group of them and get the reward. Also, you don't have to leave the castle and come back. Just talk to him again if you have the next item.

I always imagined the "comb" to be the stable, where they put the horses.

I think that Castle Alamar must have encounters that scale to your level. I ran into much tougher encounters when I was going through here, but I was a higher level.

Teleport is amazing. It makes it so much easier to get back to places without having to walk so far. But, there seem to be some places that disable it. In those spaces, Etherealize still seems to work, though. Man, you were so much luckier than me on those encounters leading up to the catapult. I can't believe that none of the White Wolves used the breath attack. Also, my last fight in that batch had 2 Silver Dragons and a Gold Dragon. Finger of Death on the Caryatid Guards probably isn't good since they have Magic Resistance.

Wyvern's Peak was my grinding point after my Sorcerer got Lightning Bolt. The fights are tough at first, but tons of XP, Gold, and a chance for decent items. He forgot to search after collecting the Wyvern's Eye. You gotta get that gold for the hard work.

Just for some more info: The "OG" answer is found on a statue in Sorpigal. The "I BE ME" answer is in a dungeon somewhere. It is written on a wall.

Graph paper and pencil - draw your own maps you went along. I know in Bard's tale games , the mage had a spell to bring up a compass

Why are there bats in the belfry ! 😀

I believe that this episode is what was found in a previous episode: "A tapestry on the wall depicts a gray minotaur stomping on a group of knights."

The volcanic eruption in C-4 seems to be random as you walk around. It isn't on a fixed tile, kind of like how a desert map has winds that sweep you away and another water map has currents that sweep you away. It really makes it a pain to map those areas. The volcano is "just" massive damage. As far as healing, in the tougher fights (where enemies are dealing massive damage), it is best to use Power Cure (1,6) which heals 1-10 HP/level. It is so much better than Cure Wounds.

5:45 very often it is good to use the Amiga or Atari ST sound, those had better sound hardware. Game developers used them regularly. Even Schneider /Amstrad CPC or MSX had better sound than PC Speaker.

But gold isn't a useless resource, because you can always use the fountain in Dragadune to convert it to XP.

I played the original version of this game and the second one

I figured out how to get the black chests. There are several different locations each time you enter the general area where the chest is located, it will appear once every four times. That is how I got a weapon called the flamberge with + 10 might.

"I don't think I've seen a single bug yet" 😂🤣🤣😂 This game is LOADED with bugs, many of which you experienced without even realizing it.

Funny thing about the performance total - it's largely nonsense. It's a somewhat meaningless sum of all the bytes in your party's persistent character records. Don't know if it was done as a joke, or just really sloppy and lazy programming. As examples of the nonsense, you get 1 point for each male character in your party, and 2 points for each female character. You get additional points for suffering from negative health conditions, including 255 points for each character who is eradicated. You would get 255 points if you have 255 hp, but only 1 point if you have 256 hp. And lots of other nonsensical things as well.

"For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky". Another Stat Trek reference. An episode title. The episode hints at the nature of Varn.

You got the GOLD key from the dog statue. You were wise enough to search for it. If you dont do that IMMEDIATELY after finding the statue, you cant get it until you complete the courier quests again with the vellum scroll. You cannot get to the true king alamar without the gold key.

Casting Divine Intervention ages you 5 years. That's why Eclipse was so much older than everybody else.

Thundranium, if you recall, helps you get through the Building of Gold. It can also be sold for a lot of money.

From a statue in Sorpigal: "Seek the Wizard Ranalou in his lair in the Korin's Bluffs..."

A Dinobeetle is not a Rhino Beetle. You are conflating the two.

Rhino Beetle vs Dinobeetle.

The Gold Dragon does not bypass your Power Shield. It would be doing twice the damage if you didn't have the Power Shield in effect.

Without knowing the Star Trek reference (remember this game was from before the World Wide Web), the three clues that can be found in game provide the answer: "The first part is female" (queen) "The second part is the most important" (king) "The third part us the first" (1)

This magic square has two solutions. Unfortunately, the game only recognizes one of them. You're lucky you came up with the "right" one.

It is necessary to visit Ranalou in the Korin Bluffs cave to "activate" the Scale of Judgement quest, and I don't believe you have done that yet. Fortunately you do not have to interact with all the prisoners again after activating the quest.

Conditions: *ERADICATED:* Dead, and very costy to bring back to life, including permanent endurance loss. *DEAD:* Dead, with moderate cost to bring back to life, with some risk of Eradication *STONE:* Dead, with low cost and no risk to bring back to life *UNCONSCIOUS:* Incapacitated with 0 hp. Any further damage results in death. Can be cured by restoring hp. *PARALYZED:* Incapacitated, but with hp remaining. I think it also makes you easier to hit in combat. Cured by magic or rest. *POISONED:* Every time you rest, your maximum hp is cut in half. It is restored to normal upon being cured. May only be cured by magic, at a temple, or any form of death. *DISEASED:* No hit points are recovered during rest. May only be cured by magic, at a temple, or any form of death. *SILENCED:* Has no effect. Really. Does not prevent you from casting spells as you might expect. No enemies or traps cause this. As far as I can tell, this is only caused by random quicksand in the Swamp of the Dead. Cured by magic or rest. *BLINDED:* Makes it hard to hit enemies in combat. I can't remember if it also makes you easier to hit. Cured by magic or rest. *ASLEEP:* Incapacitated, but with hp remaining. I think it also makes you easier to hit in combat. Cured by taking combat damage, magic, or rest. Automatically removed after completion of combat. Outside of combat, if all players are dead or incapacitated, the game is over. In combat, the battle is lost if all players are dead or incapacitated WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SLEEP, since you can be awakened by enemy attacks. Furthermore, ANY condition prevents you from being served in a tavern or training for the next level.

Resting in the eternal rest chamber. I always thought that was pretty clever.

The valley of fire will destroy you if you don't have any fire resistance in effect. Also, the longer you spend in the valley, the more Lava Beasts you will have to fight. And they will eliminate your fire resistance before the battle starts. You likely won't notice, and will not recast after the battle is over, and start taking damage with every step.

You NEED to do as much mass damage as soon as possible when fighting dragons. The power of their breath is directly proportional to their hit points. Dragons are significantly crippled when they are injured.

I like to just buy food at Sorpigal. 5 gold each for max food seems much easier than using Create Food over and over.

Web keeps failing because it only affects enemies not in hand-to-hand combat and every time it was cast was on an enemy in hand-to-hand (denoted by a +)

"The Wheel of Luck will favorably pay, the more of these menacing beasts you slay." You just finished beating all 4 of the elemental beasts, so you got good rewards. Yoy cant get more rewards from the wheel unless you dedeat one or more of the beasts again. Note that the Wheel of Luck IS random, with each character having only a 50% chance of getting a prize (which will randomly be exp, gold, ir gems). You lucked out by getting prizes for everyone except Kerghan.

You should have just made Grugtar and Slyvanus Knights at the beginning of the game, given that you NEVER use their magic. The whole point of hybrid classes is to use their hybrid abilities.

"Boots of speed on our TWO spellcasters." You have FOUR spellcasters in your party. You might do better if you remembered that. Also, leveling up is good, but increasing your stats is better. You should have checked out the Dragadune dungeon by now and found the Clerics of the South. They make you "worthy" of getting permanent stat increases again. You can increase all your stats at the various pools and things, then visit the Clerics of the South, and do it again. Rinse and repeat. Once you are capped out from those sources, you can keep doing the Scale of Judgement quest to increase a random stat by 3 points each time. This has a higher cap than the other sources. And you can (and should) use save scumming to get the "random" stat increase that you want.

Sorcerer spell 1-3. Energy Blast. Pretty powerful damage to a single enemy at the levels you are at. Also, harder for enemies to resist than other damage spells.

How would you not think to kiss the virgin? Its multiple choice! Releasing her didn't turn out so well, so you try the other options. Sheesh!

I can't believe you're still using 2-1 to heal your characters instead of 1-6. Sure it's cheaper, but you're settling for 15 hp of recovery instead of around 70!

Its the character's class that determines the experience chart. Knights, Clerics, and Robbers have the "cheaper" advancement chart (both in exp/level and gold/level). Paladins, Archers, and Sorceres have the more expensive advancement chart.

The Teleport spell is such a cheap copout. It breaks the game.

The damage that spells do is clearly laid out it the manual. Most do NOT get better as you advance. But the spells whose Spell Point cost is equal to the caster's level (Energy Blast, Fireball, Lightning Bolt) DO get better as you level up. Again, this is made explicitly clear in the manual. Similarly, the level 1 Cleric spell Power Cure heals more as the caster levels up. Do NOT ignore this spell, as it will be among your most powerful healing spells later in the game.

The three fighter classes (Knight, Paladin, Archer) get additional attacks at higher levels, making them do more damage. The three utility classes (Robber, Cleric, Sorcerer) do not. As a consequence, the Robber is ultimately useless in combat as you get to higher levels. Unfortunately you need one for unlocking doors and chests, but inside combat - just try to load her up with good spellcasting items.

"It's hot" depletes everybody's food by 1. If you run out of food, people start dying. I learned this the hard way... At this point, the Psychic Protection protects from the Sleep. You don't have to worry about it anymore unless an enemy can cast Dispel. Pretty much the only protection spells that I normally cast are Psychic Protection, Leather Skin, and Levitation. The others I use as needed. Sure, I get nuked occasionally by an elemental attack, but usually I would have lost that fight anyway. Spoiler alert: I believe that the Scorpion & Winged Beast on the map relate the statue message in Sorpigal that refers to the Wheel of Luck. They are the "Sand" and "Air". It seems to match up with the large beasts on the map that came with the game. Spoiler alert 2: After you complete both parts of the scroll quest, Zom & Zam give clues. You combine their clues to find the location of something you need for another quest.

Around this level, I found it better to fight the wyverns in C-3 over and over again. Good XP. Good gold, and a chance to upgrade my weapons.

I love the comment around 9:11-9:33. It seems like you will be smashing everything on a map or in a dungeon and then you run into a fight that obliterates you.
