Quote: Originally written by Archmagus Micael: When I played through, I stormed through as an Agent with Magic Shaping. I found that 1 Gazer, (upgraded to Eyebeast), 1 Ur-Glahk, and 1 Vlish made easy work out of the bad guys (easy-ish, coupled with my own destructive power. That makes sense. All three can incapacitate enemies. What level would you reccommend to start devastating Gazak-Uss? But what of the Benerri-Uss crystal, Drakon worthiness and Demon's Bile questions? I am sorry if all these questions are annoying.

And what of the Benerii-Uss crystal? Oh, and what creations are most effective in Gazak-Uss? Right now I have three level 30 drayks. Thank you for all of your help!

I have more questions: Where are the three Broken crystal pieces require to get into Inner Gazak-Uss? And... Are Drakons worth shaping?

I now have a better question than before... In a walkthrough, I read about an "Emerald Chestguard". Does it really exsist? If so, is it good for a Shaper? And, where is it/who makes it? Also, what use is Demon Bile?

There is another problem. After uninstalling a game, my computer reported that it had 2.3 gigabytes of space left. Then, after restarting my computer to attempt to get it to read a CD, it reported that it had 1.18 gigabytes left (and after download a file that was 105 megabytes). What could have caused this sudden drop in avaliable space? I didn't install anything and the downloaded file was not large enough to take up 1.12 gigabytes.

My CD drive no longer spins disks in order to read them. Is there any way to fix this without replacing any computer parts?

Once you use essence to make a creation, it will be gone until your creation dies or you absorb it. (i.e. using 20 out of 30 essence points to make a creation will cause your essence to be unable to fill up past ten) There are cheats for this game. Here is a cheat site.

As a shaper, you may also want to invest in healing craft to heal your creations. And sometimes rogues attack your shaper, so you may want to put a point in endurance once in a while. Oh, and don't forget that melee rogues (like thahds) can't slaughter your shaper if the rogue is trapped behind a wall of your creations. Use that to your advantage.

If you e-mail Jeff Vogel and tell him you lost the key (and if he finds your purchase records, I suspect), he can help you (His e-mail address is at the spiderwebsoftware.com site).

I always play as a Shaper. If I feel like going into melee, I just shape a battle creation. (In response to Ald's post) As a shaper, you must invest heavily into intelligence to keep your essence up (I increase my intelligence every 3-5 levels and wear nearly all intelligence increasing items), otherwise your creations will suck it all up. I do these, along with trying to keep my creations up to date, and I get through just fine. And if you have up to date creations and you are still having trouble, augment them by spending their skill points in their stats.

Where did you get the create artila skill? Anyway... Ignore his creations until they attack you. Make sure all of your characters are blessed all the time if possible. Make sure you are around level 9. When your main character attacks, make sure he/she uses the method that causes the most damage(like searer over firebolt if searer is of equal or higher level. Check by clicking the ? and then "see abilities"). If not all of your characters have high HP, heal whenever possible. It is a good idea to have spent some of your creation's skill points in useful skills. If your character is a shaper, use spells. Have your creations/allies form a circle around your character if he/she is a shaper or has low HP. If you do all that, you should be fine.

Quote: Originally written by rnowalk: <<Are you employing followers?>> No. Where does one get permanent followers? Haven't encountered any and I pretty sure I've been everywhere (to this point). In the upper levels of the shaper school, a guardian named Alwan will join you (it's mostly permanant. He is loyal to the shapers and has a very short temper). In south end, north of where you met Litalia is an agent named Greta who will join you (also permanentely, but she is not very loyal to the shapers, but she does not have a short temper). Even if they die or are dismissed, they will go back to their original location(without losing training or experience). It does not cost essence for them to spend their skill points Oh, and "lowly creations" can be extremely helpful, especially if you chose the shaper class.

Who and where is this mine-meister that you speak of? And thank you for the answers.

1. Is it possible to cure Torsten in the unregistered version? If so, how? 2. How do I view the levels of my spells and creation creating?

What about glowing white then darkening to black, repeat, etc, etc? Also, do you think it would also work on windows (once G3 is released for Windows)?

I saw that list(and read most of it. Even though it can't help a windows user much as of now). It said Ur-Drakon skin, not perfect drakon skin.

I think he means to delete the old Blades of avernum.exe before installing the patch.

No. It died in apart that I just explored. And also, I've noticed that when I cast Remove Effects, it says Cure Effects: Select friendly character(or hit escape to cancel). It's supposed to be REMOVE effects.

It was far away from Braan. So that's very unlikely. Besides, why would Braan spare the fyora and thahd that were close to the spot where the Warped Bones Thahd died?

I was in the Crags hunting the Warped Bones Thahd. I wanted to kill it myself. So I went to the ambush spot and waited for it to come. Several rogues came, but the Warped Bones Thahd did not.. I went looking for it and found several blood smears on the ground. Among them was the Thahd Skin Tunic. This implies that the Warped Bones Thahd and some other rogues were covered with acid and died when they reached that spot. But that's not possible. What happened to it?

When I looked at the description of the "Kill leader daryks" quest from Zakary, it's just "Slay leader drayks". There's no description! I'm using Geneforge 2 v1.0.1 for windows. And the hostile Rising bug, where you tell MacNulty you're going to kill him, was that bug fixed in v1.0.1?

How do I get to Trajkov? I already have the Trajkov Amulet. Also, where's the nearest Create Drayk canister if I'm in the Patrol Bridge area?

Withered Old Artila is in the infested woods, along with many, many rogues.

Nope. Attacking them just kills them. All they do is just wander around. They don't even seem to be aware that I'm attacking them.

Well, if it's that hard to find ice and flame hydras... How can I make summoned creatures hostile?
