It's a matter of morals. Alwan sees it immoral to shape himself. He doesn't care the benefits, it's about the Shaper honor. The Shapers see themselves as creators, and the things shaped as creations. If alwan shapes himself, he is a creation, and therefore lower than he was before. He would rather die a pure shaper than submit to shaping himself.

Mr. Blonde, listen to the avatar with a gun. You were complaining about the game being too hard, and if you go with three archers (who is your 4th guy?) then you're going to lose. I don't even go with 1 primary archer (my priest and mage generally get a few points later in the game). Archers do very little damage later in the game. You need a completely new build or lower the difficulty if you want to win.

You need to go to the section just north of the city of Silvar. He's in the woods.

Yep, that was it. Then he ran to the little temple and I finally killed that guy. Thanks!

Ok, I've only beaten the demon once. Where is the second spot? I've checked the first spot again and I've checked that temple. I don't know where else to look.

Thrown can work. Use other weapons except in the most difficult of circumstances, and save those razor disks and whatnot for bosses. Its less useful for the everyday, but they are the most powerful physical weapon and they are distance.

Is the defense or the attack damage better?

If you read that post/obelisk/message thingy, it gives you the instructions on how to get past it. However, Lilith's answer is 100% foolproof.

Ok. Sounds good. Thanks!

Who do I talk to for the promotions?

Sergeant Kaye wont train me! Do I need to be promoted first? If so, how am I promoted?

They replenish health after a while?

Oh wow, casual really is casual. That was much easier. Ima go do the other quests now so I can be on torment the whole time.

Edit: Ok, wait. Now all enemies have less health. Their maximum health rose back up, but they have damage. Bug?

I think I'm just going to move the difficulty to casual for this, and bump it back up immediately after. There is just no way to do this at my current level.

But you can get points in shaping from books or canisters to do that. Wasting 7 skill points on fire shaping is really truly worthless.

Wait, so I'm supposed to imidiately run away? Do I need to stay and fight at all? Will vandrin and Nicholi/Nichodemus/whoever both die? Do they show up again later?

You will most likely never ever need a little creature running around with you. Never put a point in intelligence or shaping as a guardian. Just don't. If you have spare points, put it in primary damage spot (missle, dex) or primary defense spot (Parry and Endurance). Wasting skill points on shaping is so worthless with a guardian.

All my saves are me in the area after the thing exploded. I don't even think that I could heal the Nickoli (sp?) fast enough to last past a few turns. I highly doubt he can die and the game just continue on and he show up again when necessary later.

Also, where else am I supposed to go? I didn't go visit my messenger friend in the abandoned tannery. I have a host of left over quests, but in most of those quests, the little basic baddies can to 50+ damage in one shot, and there's generally not just one of them. I guess after this I can try and do all those again...

Ok, so the stupid thing broke and all the imps came out and I have to kill them. Sad part, my characters are levels 9, 10, and 11, respectively. They get two hits per round, and can therefore kill any of my characters in one round by themselves. I cannot spam ouchouchouch fast enough to survive. I cannot daze. How do I beat these guys?

Ya, Alien Beasts were probably the most difficult to release, create, control, and everything else. One slime moster and the whole place is covered. A few lazers and 2 roaches and the whole place is quickly covered. Those are cheap, easy, and Rentar could concentrate on other things.

That's the one. Thx Dikiyoba.

The shaman girl isn't entirely useless here.

Its in the SE tower with those guys you should have rescued, bottom floor. You can't get it until you kill Moritz'Kri though (I think; I know there's a flag somewhere you have to trip before it'll open for you).

Go around back through the duke's quarters. There's two entrances to that portal.
