Struggling

Post by Snoop Dogg »

I have been playing this game for about a couple of weeks now and am really finding it difficult. I can take on most undead pretty easily now and the lizardmen are usually pretty easy too. However, i am still getting my ass handed to me against the orogs and those arracat things are just killing machines.

My characters are Human Paladin (1) / Cleric (5)
and Elven Sorcerer (4) / Rogue (3)

Spells picked are Mage Armour, Magic Missile, Sleep and Blindness

Have i picked the wrong characters?

Any suggestions on strategy? I dont really want to have to start again...

is that level 1 paladin/ that might be why you are loosing, fighting defensivly is the key in this game, let them come to you, use ranged weapons untill then, use of the defend action is handy too, as is shield of faith a good spell to use
heal you men when they get hurt, those orogs are difficult because they are a few levels above you
just level up that paladin
plus u should pick up the sorcerer Jarial in the main halls, just in a room east of the turguild square

Is Jarial the bloke that is stuck in the rock? I found Ozama's dead body etc but still havent figured out how to solve the riddle.

Yep my paladin is level 1. I have been concentrating his levels on the cleric so he can turn undead as that was mostly what I was facing and the palading doesnt get any attack bonuses over the cleric till about level 6.

to free Jarial is easy, all you have to do is have a character equiped with a ring, any ring, and have him touch the rock, that solves the riddle, but you have to move the cursor around to find the right spot to touch
