I need some tips for killing bats and other things that fly. I cant ever hits things that float, like the ghosts that can freeze you and stuff. Bats I can get with a bow arrow.. is there other easier ways?

Those ghost things are immune to bows. If you want to kill flying things easily, you'll need to use spells. Nova spells work great on bats. Fireballs are effective against ghosts.

You need armor with fire resistance for the dragons, and Blast Nova scrolls, lots of them. Some armors, rings, and trinkets have several resistances such as fire, ice, poison, etc.

Vermin and BIG vermin

Hello.

Whenever I see Bats, or Bees, or perhaps rats or pirhanas I cast Shienking Star. It's very weak against strong/ medium strong monsters but things that seek safety in numbers and speed should easily be dispatched by the spell (I only need to cast it 2 time on any pack of Bats, Bees, etc. and they're all gone).
As for dragons, I believe I heard someone say that you can easily kill Dragons (this works on many creatures though) by casting the "Tornado" spell several times at them, they get damaged and because the multiple tornados won't stop hitting them they'll remain that way. Don't bother blocking their Fireballs, as they aim unaccuratly (On purpose?) and as you block 1 Fireball several others will hit the ground near you and set you on fire not allowing you to block any further. But if you run (and not just straight forward) they'll be bound to miss.
Also a "Crystal Ward of Fire" (puchased from the Celestrial order shop in Artindale) will vertainly help you out, not just this time, and not just against dragons...

Thanks the colestrial magic helps alot. And shrieking stars are working great. But im still looking for blast novas. I just keep freezing them with some other arcane magic.

It means you're not paying a lot of attention to what you're doing. The words were part of the quest in the catacombs.

AVAT DOMINICUM (Latin?).... It's the password you tell the stone face, on the south wall, in the catacombs so that you can get the "horn" relic. What does the password actually mean?.... who cares! Maybe it's an anagram!
