Need help-End of VodThings


Death Knight

Recommended Posts

Im in a bit of a jam. I got to the end of scenario vodt (1st scenario) and i open a book and supposedly it is an ambush and i go up against an impossible shade opponent that summons monsters that are way way way harder than my party can manage. Is that the end? Im not sure really what to do. Ive been hacking through gremlins and the whole place seems to look very similar. Has anyone else had this problem or is there supposed to be another ending.

You aren't at the end. This sounds like the classroom in the southwest corner of a classroom level that has been altered by gremlims. This is an extremely difficult fight so you might want to skip it and continue exploring.

 

Some things you need to do before the end:

1) Talk to the Vahnatai.

2) Reach a control room past alien beasts.

3) Find the source of the disease and stop it.

Ok will do. Im still experimenting with some skills. I just got anatomy to 2 and am wondering if it will say anything like assassination does when it works. Do the other skills (lethal blow, anatomy) show up as a special damage modifier when it works. I'd like to get the numbers you get when using anatomy and the others as it would help on what i get from it.

If this is your first scenario with a fresh party, you're gonna want to focus on other skills before going for anatomy and lethal blow. Pump your strength/dex/endurance/weapon skills for fighters. Hardiness and defence wouldn't be a bad choice either.

 

There's plenty of time to get the specialist skills later, don't worry.

Anatomy does not, as it just modifies the damage done by a regular strike. Lethal Blow behaves like Assassination; it replaces the normal strike and so has a message of its own.

I would second Nikki's advice on waiting to increase specialized skills; at low levels you need to put the skill points into basic skills first. Also, some of the secondary skills are much less useful than others. Quickstrike can be great, since it randomly gives your character extra AP, but Lethal Blow seems fairly useless to me, since it makes it easy to kill opponents of lower level only, being no help (or little help, I haven't tested this) against higher level opponents.

Thirded.

 

You can eventually get your characters up to level 120 if you stick with them long enough. By then you will be looking for things to do with your skill points, but in the beginning you have more urgent uses for them.

 

Plus many scenarios offer skills for sale from trainers. You can afford to wait for Anatomy, Lethal Blow and the others.

Ok im in a bit of a bind. It seems that im not sure what i really have with regards to what i need to solve the curse. Ive got a few questions as everything is a bit unclear.

 

1-The stone that they say you need is from the spiders right? Because i have a stone that i used to open the school's doors.

 

2-It seems that i am unsure whether i have the papers from the grumpy old man. I did his quest but the aliens talk to me like i dont have them, when i do.

 

3-I am totally confused as to where i should be going. The area of the school is huge and taxes numerous amounts of torches and lamps. If anyone can point me in a partial direction as to where to go to stop this. Im thinking that the waste dump is the place to go when i have all 3. I should have taken notes.

1. There are two stones. The runed stone that you need to open the doors to get into the School of Magery. The opening stone that Chief Spider gives you the location for doing his quest.

 

2. The papers from the grumpy man show up in special items. You need them later.

 

3. After getting the opening stone you should go back and open all the green glowing gates that you couldn't do before to get some more loot. One of the places is the main library where you can turn in an undamaged text book for a certain key. Then go down to the research level and there is a door that now available. Keep going and kill some more things.

 

The waste dump is the last place.

Thanks randomizer. The only real concern i have though is whether or not i have the papers from the old man. He keeps on saying that he'll sell them to me, even though i did his quest. The waste facility is already done but i cant get past the computer controls. It says that something needs to be activated elsewhere.

The waste facility controls don't work unless you use the auxillary controls in the control area below the School. The research level has door in the south that only open with the key from the library. Then you go through an underground outdoor type level past alien beasts to he control area that needs the opening stone to enter. You won't forget this area because there are plenty of slimes and shades down there.

 

This scenario has lots of going back and forth to trigger the next event.

The opening stone can be used as a potion or wand near a green gate to cause it to open. You should have gotten it by doing the Chief Spider's quest for eggs and then going back to the bug's garbage dump's northwest corner.

 

Once you have it you need to take an undamaged text book to the Library past the green gate and there is a spot where returning it will get you a key.

I don't think you are the worst player here at all.

However, it is possible that you are the least likely to just mess around and try stuff before you ask questions smile

I know. What happens is i cant find something. When i cant find it i get frustrated. I look for the thing 5 times, it progresses. From then on, i second guess myself. And thats when i try and rush things.

 

Like right now. Im finally at the control room and it says that i cant destroy the controls, and cant deactivate either. Im not usually used to this much thinking in many games i play. Usually i like things straightforward and hard with combat. When it comes to thinking about going here, and backtracking here, it makes me lose my mind. The only reason i want to beat this scenario is because it has become almost a necessity to not give up. Not because i want to get farther. I messed up my rogue character and he needs to get deleted.

 

The only thing i hope is that the other downloadable scenarios are not all like this. Something simple is all i ask smile
