I think you are screwed because when you come back later the eggs are ruined for being too long without the lizards tending them.

Even with maximum resistance, you can get mental effects. It's better to have someone that can counter the effect.

From Information Guide: You can scroll down to descriptions on skills: Field Medic - Gives heals, curing, and blessing a 25% chance per point not costing action points Each point or skill level increases the chance by 25% of not costing action points when used.. So at level 2 it is now 50% chance. For something like poison rain it increases damage or duration.

Items let you stack past skill point limits. Some can be very helpful.

It means the party has 9 in Tool Use skill to unlock access to where the sword was stored. Some items are in rooms or chests with locks or traps that require tool use, dispel barrier, or move mountains spell to reach them. These notes are warnings on what you need if you want them. If you plays a an Amana with no magic spells, then you will never get items behind dispel barrier at level 3. Welcome to Spiderweb Software. Please leave your sanity at the door. None of us that explain things have it.

Some skills like,e Tool Use and Melee Weapons both have trainers. However with Melee Weapons, you can train early in the game. However if you used a trainer before reaching 10 in the skill, then you are capped at 10. If you wait and only use skill points to reach 10, then you can still use the trainer to increase it to 12. Only really made a difference for those min/mas players who want to get everything especially for the hardest difficulties.

On harder difficulties, just keep increasing your main shaping skill to make your creations even more powerful. Really helps in the end where you start missing.

There may be enough living tools in the game that you don't need to buy more. It depends upon your mechanics skill level and whether you open highly locked doors that are meant as quest rewards or getting a key for the zone.

It depends upon difficulty level and build. It's borderline for normal difficulty and add two levels for higher difficulties is a good rule for most areas. If you are careful, there are places where you can move your party to avoid the hostile creations. The scorpions can be avoided by going south through the locked room and coming out the other side when they are patrolling to the right on the screen. You will still have a hard fight at the end. Having high leadership can help there. I mean this is an area that a pacifist can get through. (If you ae lucky)

Once you meet the requirement to turn a zone green, which usually means crossing it, you can skip the zone. So you don't have to clear mines a second time. Also there are only a few place where you have that problem.

The remakes have additional material, a few more zones to visit. Story wise, you don't miss anything.

There is a back door that opens with a hidden switch. Need Tool Use 8 to work the switch. Good luck. Welcome to Spiderweb Software. Please leave your sanity at the door. It's totally useless.

Joining a faction and staying will change the ending. There was some discussion on which is the best ending. Some factions won't trade with you if you are currently in another faction. Some factions require you to kill off another faction's leader and that will make areas hostile. Enough leadership will avoid the quest needed to kill them.

The earliest part of all the games is supposed to be easy on all difficulties. It depends how you play on how easy some places are. It is possible to make it harder with stupid decisions.

Original series early games penalized you in that you couldn't train (buy) skills and spells if you used a canister first. But in the remakes , the order no longer matters.

I think it was a combination of essence costing and allowing each one to deal with a different area in combat where the targets are spread out. Some places you can't use terrain to your advantage like Trajkov and Goettsch. Same with a few Sholai fights. Too early in beta testing to see how it differs for higher level creations. Just Jeff made enough changes that I can't speculate.

I looked back at my old save in the Inner Crypt and my party was three searing artilas, a glaahk, and a cockatrice. So I must have used them in the worst fights. You may have to replace them often, but they are effective spamming acid. Not so sure about them in the new remake because of more acid resistant creations near the last half.

It increases with level into double digits. Not as good as other attacks except it always works so o to hit and no need for an active creation. Fyotas are cheaper and can do more damage , but die off too easily later in the game.

Using only a single shaping class and increasing it through out the game is important in the end. On torment difficulty you can start seeing your crayons miss versus some high level opponents. Usually the optional expert area fights. Cryoas have one decent feature, Frost Aura that automatically damages nearby foes even when stunned or dazed.

The necklace is in the original and finding it on the ground is the first step I Find Shanti quest. Also noticing it is a bonus for having some leadership.

There's a book in the Lair of Khoth/

I think you are too far away from her. I remember that message. Welcome to Spiderweb Software. Please leave your sanity at the door. It's totally useless.

Ask again in 4 months when I'm playing the demo for the 20th time and most of the game for the 10th or more. It becomes: please make it stop and release it.

Beta testing and what Jeff's released in previews. Mostly previews since I hate making creations. Although it's so early in testing that almost anything can change. Most probably will over the next few months. About the only fixed things ae the World Map, story, and several hundred thousand words of dialogue and text. Those require too much work to change now.

So far no, but I haven't tried to do the high tier ones. Now the ones attacking you.
