Hi again.
I am now in the vale of shadows, started a new game.
There are monsters that I simpy cannot kill, for example: Merykul's Sending, Mummy, Imbuedwights. All I get is weapon ineffective...
Why is this so?
I do have a single weapon which is +1 but it also cannot do the job.
I was playing icewind dale not so long ago, and if I remember right... a lot of battles can be swung by the choice of weapons. I played as a Duel Classed Fighter/Cleric and had little problem. Blunt weapons (Mace +1, Warhammer +1, Flail +1, Club +1) are usually best against all undead and having Fire by means of arrows, spells, wands, enchantments and Oil of Firey Burning help a lot as well. If members of your party can cast Holy Weapon or Shilaleigh etc. then these can be instrumental in turning the tide.
Two wrongs don't make a right... but three lefts do!
If beauty is in the eye of the bee-holder, then why are hives considered unattractive features?
Some monsters can only be damaged by +1 weapons or better, some by +2 weapons or better and +3 weapons can hurt everything (with only a few weapon type restrictions in the expansions).
I am only at the very beginning of the game...(vale of...)
Where would I acquire +2 weapons, needless to say that I dont even have enough coins to get one.
I will try with +1, see where I go from there...
In the Vale of Shadows there isn't an enemy you can't kill with +1 weapons. The first monster which requires a better better weapon is at the end of chapter 2, you'll find a lot of stuff until then.
Even at the later parts of the game most monsters can be killed with normal weapons.
