Re: level 12 HELP! (killing that)

SpoilerShow
Ignore the critters, they respawn quickly, and you need to be running from the giant cube of squishy death ASAP. Shoot it with fire/ice/lightning/Ancient Weapon, and immediately hop into a nearby pit to rest and heal up; then teleport back up and rinse and repeat. It'll go down eventually.

Re: 2x2 strafing undermines character building [edited]

You don't HAVE to strafe in the game to win. Personally, with a pair of well equipped meat shields, I tended to stand there and bash stuff in the face with large swords and axes, while my ranger and mage pew pew pewed them down. Positioning IS an important issue, simply to prevent being flanked by o...

Re: What would you like to see added?

Having completed the game now. Really I would love a dungeon randomizer. Something I could just kick around and have fun with. This would be nice, if only to continue playing with the characters I created and trained up. I'm kinda amazed how much detail went into the World Map that comes with the g...

Re: What's athletics useful for?

Same as daniel. My first run had a balance of several skills. Also, having the "porter" perk is useful for pack rats. Ahh, the Porter skill. My poor Minotaur was lugging around 4 crates and a slew of junk that I just COULDN'T stand the thought of dropping. I even had him lugging around al...

Re: Sword of nex. Frustration fest...

I can get to the forth button but the trap always opens. There must be a split second in it. Am i supposed to press the button and expect to fall down. Will the secret be open when I get back up? Is that how you did it. I am struggling to press the button let alone get off the forth pit trap! HELP!...

Re: Create Food

No it does not. All available spells are listed here . Food management is big part of the game, like torchlight management and add to the feel of the game. So I Suggest grab those bags and stock up on some food for later when you are going to need it. :) You can also find the Orb of Radiance for yo...

Re: The very last battle

Well, there's a few options for ya: 1) Don't get crushed to death by the giant cube 2) Since you can't get in melee range, ranged/spells are your only option 3) The Ancient Weapon still works even after you've disabled it! 4) You DID disable it, right? If not, you need to remove the upgrades you pro...

Re: Thank YOU

Agreed. Great and very fun game (despite a couple of annoying moments that were NOT directly due to the game, but the timing puzzles).

Looking forward to the new maps!
