Seasoned Roamer Gunshy Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 It's too damn' tough for my guys and girls. I've done the slimes, the roaches and the troglo/giant quests. Any suggestions where I could go to level my guys up a bit, before I go back in there? Is it better to kill a few golems, go back out, recharge, go back in, etc.? Is that even practical?

Ineffable Wingbolt Rent-an-Ihrno Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 thats the usual method, yes. personally, ive only played through the whole game once, and that party didnt have any problems at all in the golem factory. cant tell you where to prepare, sry.

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 Be sure to destroy the golem generators and bring more energy potions than you think you'll need. You'll need them. —Alorael, who also recommends using excessive caution when rounding corners. Running into hordes of golems who are inaccessibly located past laser barriers can be hazardous to your party's health. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasoned Roamer Gunshy Posted November 7, 2004 Author Share Posted November 7, 2004 Does that mean tiptoeing about in combat mode, hitting 'D' a lot and using physical ranged attacks whenever possible? Plus, every time one of my guys whacks one of those darn crystals on the first/ground floor, he/she takes about 60 of damage. Ouch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd The Waif Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 Invulnerability elixirs help a lot in dealing with the Golem Factory. But you can ignore the Golem Factory if you want to. You only need to complete either the slimes or the roaches, and the troglo-giants-tunnel barrier quest, and the Empress will give you permission to get inside Footracer Province for the endgame. written by Gunshy: Is it better to kill a few golems, go back out, recharge, go back in, etc.? Is that even practical? I'm told the dead monsters don't regenerate. So that should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan My Quasimodo Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 Do you have a cleric who knows mass healing, preferably at level 3? That helps a lot. Find level 3 of this spell downstairs from the NE corner of the giants cave. You need good rune reading ability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Rent-an-Ihrno Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 yeah, keep that rounding a corner and mass healing stuff in mind. i wouldnt recommend ignoring the factory, though. if you think the golems are tough, wait for footracer province.

Curious Artila muskie powers Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 Have you gone on any of the legendary item quests? THese quests can help you level up considerably and get you items that'll improve your AP. Getting items that can increase your AP can help A LOT. Make sure you have the right weapons and items such as the mithril blade, black halberd and boots of speed. Also, try to make more knowledge brews to increase your skill points.

Seasoned Roamer Gunshy Posted November 9, 2004 Author Share Posted November 9, 2004 Well, I've been bustling about, scaring up every coin I can and buying up all the stocks of Invulnerability, Energy and herbs I can find. I've got Beastslayer and something else cool, plus Radiant Slith Spear. None of my armour is Blessed though. My cleric has Lv.3 Mass Healing, but it eats SP. I'll go looking for these legendary items - I've got the skinny on the Black Halberd, so I'll kick off with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan My Quasimodo Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 As far as legendary quests go, I'd recommend going after Pachter's Plate Mail. It's a lot easier than the Black Halberd quest and you also get Arcane Shield at level 3 in another area of the dungeon. I believe you need to enter the library in Gale to learn the location of this dungeon, and to have it appear once you get there. Some dungeons don't become accessible until you have done some background research. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk mistica Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 there is a large amount of skill required for this stuff, I suggest you go do the quests in the following order: 1. dryad's grove quest near libras, 2. sliths near golddale, 3.

Chittering Clawbug Bestrafer_fin Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 umm... Where is your ninth mission? Well howewer, I have played avernum 3 trough, but I did only very little any sidequests, some of those seemed quite familiar, but I didn't know that there was so many leg.(legendary, not legal) quests.

Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 There are only five artifact quests (the Ring of Endless Magery, Pachtar's Plate Mail, the Fury Crossbow, the Recipe for the Knowledge Brew, and the Black Halberd), but there are dozens of mini-quests and side-quests. The Golem Factory is hard no matter what, but it helps to know where you're going. The walkthrough in the header of these boards gives decent instructions.

Seasoned Roamer Gunshy Posted November 15, 2004 Author Share Posted November 15, 2004 The walk through is brilliant - it's just that my crew keep getting their clocks cleaned! They just aren't tough enough. I shall explore everywhere else and try things like the Knowledge Brew quest, in the hopes of acquiring a few more sp.
