LOL! I can just picture this. No I've been to dead pass, but can't get through it. I meet the Hunter ghosts or some other pack of ghosts and then I'm playing the funeral march. So... kind of frustrating. I can't get through the Northern pass either, or crystal caverns (or is it mine) working on Infiltrator's Fort (got an Artila and some serviles to kill yet). Can't seem to get anywhere in Ellrah's Tomb or the Complex Core. As I said- stuck. The part I didn't understand was going through the ritual of what?? About the only creation I can make that packs any real punch is a clawbug. I only have enough essence for one decent one (90 points). I'll have to get you my stats in a bit. not handy at the moment. I know I put a lot on mechanics awhile back so I can pick locks and disarm mines pretty well. LOL. It's come in handy a lot. Okay will post back later Trish P.S. I might have had the student's belt....have the girdle of insight now I think. Okay- here are the stats: Level 22- Health- 45 Essence and spell energy 94 Strength: 2 Dexterity: 2 Intelligence: 4 Endurance: 4 COMBAT: Melee: 4 Missile: 5 Quick Action: 4 Parry: 3 Magic: Battle: 2 Mental: 2 Blessing: 2 Spellcraft: 1 (this is grayed out for some reason) Shaping: Fire: 3 Battle: 4 Magic: 3 Healing: 6 General: leadership: 6 Mechanics: 9 Luck: 3 Armor: 55 Stun: 85% Mind: 20% Poison: 30% Acid: 20% Okay- that's it.

Yes, darn it! No way around that? I can't exactly get the regular Geneforge game without paying for it AGAIN. Man- that sucks! Nijojo

Okay Student of Trinity- you just spoke Greek to me. Problem is I'm kind of stuck. How do I get more experience when I can't get through anything without having more experience? Kind of a vicious circle, ain't it? I've tried just plowing through stuff in combat mode but I run into Drayks or something else nasty and die very quickly. I'm a Shaper level 22 with 1 animal- a clawbug. It's the only thing I ever have any luck with and I only have 94 essence points (and 45hp) For some reason my essence dropped when I went from level 20 to 21. Weird. So how do I level up when I'm stuck? My problem is HOW do I hit High Vezzedra? I can't even hit her! I last awhile, but doesn't do me any good since I always miss no matter what I throw at her. I'm using a Living Knife right now and I donned the dead-eye cloak. It hasn't helped much. What does it mean when it has a percentage next to your miss. Higher or lower percentage mean you were close? It keeps telling me I missed (11%) with dead-eye and (1%) without. Thanks Trish

Okay, I just graduated to level 21 and for some reason my essence went from 107 down to 90. Is this a glitch?? Nijojo

I'm running this Geneforge trainer and it is sitting on my desktop and I have all buttons checked but I can't do anything in the game. What up?? Trish

Hello, I have gotten to the Warren of the Three and wiped everything in it out except Vezzedra. Eko Blade was no easy trick especially since I'm still at 43 hp and only have enough essence for one decent creation (always a clawbug). I can't hit Vezzedra with anything. Ideas?? Also- how the heck are you supposed to kill ghosts, especially hunter ghosts. I can kill a regular ghost if it's by itself but with more than one I'm doomed! Thanks Nijojo

Nah, I like the Shapers. Andras rules! Auri

It's important to be clear that when you have a creation with you, ie a clawbug for example, that whatever essence you used in that creation cannot be regained until it dies. If you absorb it you only get about half back. So best to let it die unless you REALLY need that essence. I try to leave about 10 essence points when I make a creation (I only have 102 right now total) so I have enough to cast spells like heal, cure, and unlock. Essence pods are good, but all you need to do to recoup is to go to a friendly village (Vakkiri, Ellrah's Keep, Pentil, and Kazg will work unless you've made someone mad there) You don't even need to find the pools there, you need only go in and you're replenished. I always return to recover from battle before continuing to another world. If you've cleared all the areas (or at least made them passable) so they're green you can jump to ANY area without having to go in sequencial order. I'm working on the East Docks right now, but I can jump to Vakkiri quite easily since everything inbetween is cleared. Hope that helps Auri

I haven't had any troubles with items disappearing, but what I've done is found an empty room at one of the friendly villages. Anytime I pick stuff up that I want to keep, but can't carry I go back to that friendly village and drop it in the same spot. That way it's waiting for me when I come back. My village of choice is Vakkiri, but Pentil works, too. I just don't trust Kazg! I leave my items in the empty room just north (in the same building) as the merchant, Coale. I also pick up ANYTHING I can that can be sold, after I've cleared the level so I won't be encumbered for battle. I go straight to a friendly village to sell it from there. I made the mistake of leaving behind 18 living tools in the entrance of one area once, and I went EVERYWHERE looking for them. I did finally find them, thank goodness!! Good luck! Auri
