According to Jeff, you need tool use of 5 to complete the game. There are supposed to be some traps that will bring in more monsters. Good luck.

The smith in Dharmon, Rippel, wants gold and emeralds in addition to the fine steel, focusing crystals, and mandrake. The Fort Remote quest for graymold (2), mandrake, and eyebeast eyestalks nets you several potions including a knowledge brew. So sometimes it pays to use mandrake. It's best to save before you use up mandrake to see if it's worth it.

With money so tight in the early part of the game, it forces you to make decisions about what you really want. I'm trying to run a party of four where all I spend money on is spells, training for skills, wisdom crystals, knowledge brews, and ingredients like graymold to fulfill quests. Even with spells I'm trying not to buy more than I need, i.e. only one level of augmentation.

The weapons after the demo that do better than Demonslayer, like Radiant Soulblade and Seeking Rapier, do so because their bonuses add to damage. Chance of a lethal blow, anatomy, special damage like poison, etc. all add on to the base damage. Demonslayer is great for protection and for hacking away at the few demons in this game. There aren't the large demonic encounters of the earlier games where it truly shone.

I've decided to update the list of spellbooks and revise it by location. A quick list of abbreviations and there meanings: AL is the total party Arcane Lore obtained by adding up the individual character arcane lores. The minimum to read any spellbook is 3 and the maximum needed is 15 for the most advanced books. PC means a piercing crystal is needed to remove the barrier to get to the spellbook. DB means the Dispel Barrier spell is needed to remove the stronger barrier. Some spellbooks are behind locked doors that will be opened as quest rewards. If you have high enough tool use and/or unlock doors spell you maybe able to get to the book without doing the quest. This list will be updated by edit to improve the information about locations, Most of the information was obtained from scripts.

There is something wrong with this test. The block should fall off when you are pushing it along the cliff path in the upper right part of the test. The wheel changes the path, but for some reason it works better if you don't touch it.

Map the city's interior and the secret library room will be obvious.

Gremlin in the Gallery Wood: If you feel guilty about starting a fight, wander over to the southeast corner towards hsi bedroom. He will attack you. Gremlin in Giscard storeroom: You get slightly more experience for killing the gremlin than giving him the wine. It may be up to 20% more, but that is only a few points.

I read about lucking into secret passages before being told about them, but it never happened to me. Luck is best in parties of four where you can give it to the fighters. It helped me get fine razordisks in R-I's little trap and 2 fine waveblades when the Vahnatai assassins appeared.

I just buffed up the party before starting the test. Pick off the spawns with arrows and smite when they appear. When they bunch up 2 or 3 icy rains will kill them. Try not to include the golems since they will go after spellcasters. Have a high dodge fighter attack the golems to draw their attacks. You might as well get some monster defeating experience.

3. There is no pathfinder spell or special skill. There is still a slot for it under special skills. 2. The Demonslayer Scree cave entrance is between Fort Emerald and the dragon cave. You have to go along the north wall until you get a message about seeing the Avernum sun sign. There are some large stone blocks in the area. It is in the first map section west of the section that is north from Fort Emerald. 1. I haven't done this quest yet, but from what I understand from the spoilers you have to clear out Rentar-Inhro fortress west of Fort Remote. Then you can use the pylons from Fort Avernum to get into the Abyss. From there you can approach the Spire Fortress from the north. There should be a thread that explains it better.

Did you try the blue bowls in Fort Dranlon? The one in the back of the church raises experience. It says that you gain insight. I've found two more since then. You are on track to go over character level 52 for the end game.

There is a spoiler that looks at luck. You need alot of luck to really see an increase in dropped treasure.

You mentioned that you put your game on hold. I was wondering what level your singleton is when you finished the Eastern Gallery. After that point the difference between the various penalties and bonus appears to be almost constant. At most a one level increase that mostly is due to the monsters.

Look at the map screen in the bottom left corner. The monsters show up as red dots and friendlies as blue. It really helps with chitrachs in the Eastern Gallery.

There are about three different places to get dried meat. The lizard pen in Fort Monastary. The goblin den and farther south in the fens all have some.

There are other areas to Avernum. Most of the explorers were looking for a route to the surface. All those messages about miles of tunnels leading upward to dead ends. Between that and the demons, monsters, etc., the others areas wouldn't have been important enough to include in earlier maps. All you need is a reason to go there.

Some characters wander about, so it does pay to check out the town.

You need a combined Arcane lore, by adding up the individual character ones, of 15 to read all spellbooks. However you don't need to get this all at once. The first spellbook in Fort Draco is at 3. The next two in Formello and Motrax's Caves are 4. Hrickis one is 5. The Eastern Gallery have most spellbooks at 6 and 8. The exception is Fort Avernum at 12. This will do for most spellbooks until you get deep with the Great Cave. You can always go back and read a spellbook later when you can afford to raise arcane lore. It also helps to distribute it equally to reduce training costs. The same can be said for Nature Lore. In the demo, most items are cached under a combined nature lore of 6. The Eastern Gallery needs up to 12. You can go higher to get harder items later in the game. Nature lore does allow some monsters to become calm so they won't attack you. This is the total party level, so if someone is unconcious the level will drop and you may get attacked when you retrace your path. High experience penalty means that the party will go up slower and not have as high a level (1-3 levels) as lower penalty groups. The bonus special skills will make up for the lower levels. Having a lower level will mean that the penalty for party to monster level will kick in later.

Slartucker also missed steel vambrances. Some things are just better off sold.

I thought the last upgrade patch was supposed to prevent this from happening? Mac version 1.0.3
