What door to choose in the Cache?

Post by Hellriegel »

What is the rope good for? Is there another way to get one? I'm not sure what is the most valueable choice. I will either choose the bow and the arrows, that are pretty nice or the mage stuff, especially the orb I like. Apparently you don't know what's the best choice for my party, I'm asking regarding future gear. What will I substitute sooner? Bow or Orb? Are there more arrows soon?

I have chosen the bow+ arrows, i couldnt find another one for quite a long time buuuut, there are plenty of bows/missile weapons later an and yes, much more arrows :)
decide for yourself, you will get more gold keys anyways , always pick what u think is best for your playstyle

apart from that

you will find a rope later on in the crystal mines if i can remember correctly

I'd open the rope door every time.
Since it's pretty free where you wanna go, you could end up in the crystal mines LATE in the game. In which case the rope will be invaluable.

That was the case for me. Took me a looong time to get to the crystal mines since i chose all the other paths first, that rope has been sooo usefull =)

The rope is used to safely jump down in pits.
Stand next to a pit, facing it and then use the rope from your inventory and you will climb down, taking no damage and breaking no limbs. Perfect!

In the first game i went for the orb and the wizard dress, but in a new game i'll probably go to ANOTHER more waterly vault *wink-wink*

Thank you very much for your fast answers. Now I'm in doubts between the rope and the bow^^ I'll probably go for the bow, arrows and lockpicks and hope that I will find the crystal mines soon, and don't regret my descision^^

@Klezzon: There is a golden key lock in the water or what do you mean? in the same area (Forgotten River)?

safe pit diving. Face a pit and use the rope, and you can get down without taking fall damage and injuries. There's another rope in the Crystal Mines, but I'd rather have the rope early on.
