My wife and I just played through the mysterious cave...and I do have to admit - I got my butt stomped into the ground. As if the prairie dogs weren't enough, the Evil companions royally whooped us.

We got ...

The night before last, I walked around with at least 4 rare items in each of my characters' inventories. After 5 hours of play, we had not seen the ??? creature once.

Last night, I decided having the rare items in my inventory all the time wasn't working...that as the walkthrough says, he has a ...

Way to go on actually killing him!! I wish I could say I were having as much luck with that task. I've gotten him down to where he has no life showing on the bar, but still dives into the ground.

Did you have every chant and every quest item? Did you have the 3 mysterious set items in your ...

If you look at the skills section, you'll notice that the skills are in a Skill Tree. Basically, the skills such as Bleed, only apply to thrown weapons, which are in the same tree.

Likewise, Ignite is in the Skill Tree with fire skills.

However, there are some skills that I believe go outside of ...

We always pause the game as soon as we see him appear, so we can get our party on Mirror and get our best attacks ready.

When I tried to use one of my henchmen's Powers while paused, he suddenly fell unconscious as soon as I unpaused...even though there were no other creatures on the screen and he ...

My wife and I play on our LAN together. We just bought the game a short time ago. Our second game together, it took us 3 days to get to Elite level. I'm sure you can do it in no time flat.

I just saw that item for the first time last night.

I wanted to get it...but I don't use two-handed weapons.

The only way to get him to appear is to have a treasure drop from a chest or from a creature that is Rare, Unique, or a Set Item. To increase the chance of having one of these drop, increase the amount of +% to find magic items.

In my party, I have my main character with around +150% to find magic ...

Oh, by the way....I did check the walkthrough...but it didn't say anything about having to have all the quest items...although I will give it a try. Thanks.

When saying you have to have everything else, do you mean that every other quest must be completed, or rather that every other Quest Item is in the book before you can get it?

And yes, there is a health meter...right where it says his name is ??? when you're hoving over him with your mouse pointer.

Anyone have an advice on how to kill the ??? creature? I have fought him numerous times, and many times thought he was dead because he had no color at all left on his life meter. But, he still managed to jump into the ground.

I looked in the Bestiary and it said 9 under the Kills heading. But, he's ...

Yeah, I kinda thought the same thing. Being a Nature Mage, my main character rarely delivers the killing attack. I've been trying to find a way to beef up Sartan, since he does all the killing. I do have a pet, but it's a Light Najad, and I rarely have her attacking...keeping her for healing instead ...

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, he did finally show up again near the end of Act I the second time though. I have yet to kill the slippery little guy though.

I've read that he has a chance of appearing whenever a rare item or better is dropped. But, I have also read that he's a thief. Does this mean ...

I have found all 3 of the mysterious items but did not get to kill the ??? creature on the mercenary level. After killing the final enemy, I entered the portal to end the game on this level and started the next level.

I have not yet seen the ??? creature the second time through the game. Is he ...
