Aranea tactics needed in The Avernum Trilogy

Member # 6785
Profile #1
I think that's the hardest single fight for the level before you go down river. I used up potions for haste and go immediately to bind foe spell to sleep the aranea in the same round. The only way to win this fight is to reduce the number of active foes as quickly as possible to a manageable number. Also if you have found the spell shard, use the once a day ability to summon a beast to increase the number on your side.

Good luck since I've probably reloaded this fight more than any other in the game.

There are a few sites that Jeff has allowed to sell his games. I'm not sure of the names, but you can try searching since we usually discuss whether they are legit.

Seriously is it good enough to download as a 10 minute wait?

You kids are spoiled. At dial-up speeds, downloading would take about 16 hours. Talk about wanting instant gratification.

You probably missed The Simpsons episode last Sunday parodying the 90s. Milhouse's father was downloading a photograph in 6 hours using an acoustical modem. For those of you that have never seen or used them, they have a phone handset resting on an acoustical connection cradle of the modem to transmit the signal by converting electrical impulses to sound waves. Really slow transmission and it breaks if the phone is moved.

Just before my time. Like that will ever happen again.

I joined for the games and stayed to see how long it'll take me to reach 10,000 posts. Looks like another 3 years.

Go to Galag-Trav the area northeast of the Ruined Hall, across the river, and surrounded by mountains. In the lower level there is the raised area in the northwest that is reached by a secret door in the north center edge of the map. Once inside, just kill Fomorians until you get the message about taking the ruby.

He moves around the north part of town. Use "TAB" to identify the farmers by starting at one place and move to the corners of the town. Unless you were fighting undead and one followed you back to town he should still be there.

There is also one place where the control pylons are far enough apart that you can walk through the center. But walking around the ends or very high health are the two ways.

That only works if you use the character editor to keep resetting the boat back to the start of the Dark River section each time you reach the end. Even a party of 4 has trouble getting all the non-cursed items to sell or use.

I haven't tried it, but I have heard that others have done it. The only hard part is going through the Dark Waters section because you have limited inventory slots. You have to consider what you want to take at the start besides energy potions and what you want to keep.

Similacrums of certain creatures attack you unless you charm them. Raven's summoned guardians are another case.

You are supposed to wait for the invulnerability to drop and avoid taking damage in the mean time.

First post for a new chapter.
Edit - missed it by that much.

This one really mooved me. I almost had a cow reading it. But seriously, now Tyranicus has four legs to trip over.

I need to find someplace quiet to concentrate. At least now the action can start up again as Spiderweb gets dismantled to its constituent elements.

Damage Type and Unreachable Enemies in Geneforge 4: Rebellion

Khyrykk's hidehout has a lever hidden behind a pillar that opens the door. Look for levers by slowly moving the mouse cursor over walls and pillars that can hide things by the game's perspective. Jeff likes to do this to hide controls and loot.

I think the extra damage types are for future use.

Edit - It took me a minute to remember the 3 battle betas. You need to kill the oozebeasts to open up the easter egg area for that hidden monster.

It's more likely that it hasn't happened yet, because someone is busy. Think of it as more time to look back and see if there is something you want to keep.

All you need is one really powerful creation to close with the unbound one while you stay back and heal the creation. I did this on torment after trying to go one on one with a single character.

You can use the shaping items to raise your abilities, make a drakon or ur-drakon, then go at it. Eyebeast works as well.

That's why you need multiple saves, which I didn't do until two years ago. One save before a dungeon area and a few inside to keep from losing too much time.

I think it's more that Jeff doesn't want to spend the extra time coding more graphic screen choices for playing his games. He will probably do something for the next series or if Apple changes things in the next operating system. He was forced to redo some graphics to comply with the developement tools for Leopard.

Intelligence adds to those abilities and you want it for spell energy anyway. I found that you can get to the levels you need a little after you first find the spell books. Mage levels add to item identification and priest levels add to rune reading so you can add when you can afford it to arcane lore to make up the remainder.

Item identification is just money. As a singleton you get enough.

Really depends upon the game and how you use them. GF3 has vlish that are fairly broken in how easily they can stun opponents for their cost. The high level creations appear late in the game that can be really nasty.

Lifecrafter is the easiest with your creations doing all the hard work.

Servile/Infiltrator if you go the battle magic route. Both are about equal in magic and fighting ability.

Until you go past the lasers to reach the lower level of the Roach Factory, you can leave and sell or store what you find. For the last area, I suggest minimizing weight and inventory slots so you can maximize what you can carry out of there. Once the factory is destroyed there is no going back for more.

I suppose you could loot the lower level and return to destroy it, but with the scripted nature of the route in, I'm not sure if that's possible for the few extra minor items.
