Chittering Clawbug BloomingLilac Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I seem to be taking too long to solve the plagues. Since I've had experience with the other games in the series, I decided to play in hard mode. Maybe that wasn't such a good idea. The town of Colchis was destroyed. I'm not sure if that would normally happen or if it's because I went to the Isle of Bigail before I discovered Krizsan. I believe part of my problem is that I stole a book from Ernest and he sent me to "hell" for my crime. Since I haven't been able to survive that battle, I've been doing lots of running back and forth. Now that I've reached level 13 and gained a few extra spells, I think I might be able to handle it. How many days should I have spent to eradicate the slime plague? It's day 38, and I've finished with the slimes. I'm working on the cockroach plague now. Any suggestions about where I should go after I finish with the cockroaches? I'm so accustomed to taking my time in the Avernum games, and I probably do things differently than other players because I feel that I have to explore quite a bit in one area of the map before moving on. I'd probably feel like a failure if anything else is destroyed or innocent people die due to my taking too long. Thanks in advance for any replies.

Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Colchis is destroyed before the game begins. You're not being ridiculously slow, either. BloomingLilac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Colchis is destroyed on day 1 according to players in the previous version. Nothing can be done to save it. After the cockroaches you get directed to Sharamik and their Troglodyte pest control problem. Just keep talking to major town leaders for information about where to go next. Things go faster as you gain levels so don't worry about it. BloomingLilac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chittering Clawbug BloomingLilac Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 Oh, that's good to know. Thank you! I have a rush quest to deliver a mirror to someone in Moon. How far is Moon from Kneece? I'm about to talk with Purgatos about the roaches and I only have 5 days left for the delivery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before I posted, I was worried about having to start over. Anaximander has just given me the quest to investigate the New Formello murders. I wasn't sure if I needed to go there now or if I could finish dealing with the roach plague first. ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chittering Clawbug BloomingLilac Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 I can't find the spell book in the Filth Factory. My sight isn't the best, and all that junk on the walls doesn't help. I'd like to find the spell before I set fire to everything. Help?

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 The spell book is hidden on the entrance floor, but you need to release the scavengers from the control room panel to get to it. Not the easiest place to find. BloomingLilac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
