I've just started Chapter 4 and I keep getting my butt whooped by monsters and im low on cash. Any good spots/tips? -------------------- People says Microsoft paid 14 million dollars for using the Rolling Stones song "Start me up" in their commercials. This is wrong.

Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Sunday, April 24 2005 17:39 Profile Homepage #1 Don't pick fights with the Empire right away. If there are still quests left undone near Formello and Fort Draco, like clearing out the undead in the ruined fort that used to belong to the nephilim, do them. Then look for more minor quests in other cities. Mertis has a nice cave of undead to hack through. As long as you don't run headfirst into Empire forts, you should be able to find appropriately difficult areas. —Alorael, who can't remember exactly what he did last time he came out of the vahnatai lands. He'll add that there are several quests to do among the vahnatai that you can and should do before or just after returning to Avernum proper.

LlamaGod Apprentice Member # 4404	written Sunday, April 24 2005 19:08 Profile Homepage #2 Thanks One more thing about the undead camp near Formello, how do I finish it off? I read something about some ability needed to destroy the altar, but I have no idea about it. I've cleaned the place out except for the nasty Baskilisk and Demon in those 2 rooms. -------------------- People says Microsoft paid 14 million dollars for using the Rolling Stones song "Start me up" in their commercials.

That will take care of the altar. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens. Smoo: Get ready to face the walls!

StelarBoy Apprentice Member # 5549	written Sunday, April 24 2005 20:15 Profile #4 Try going to the hidden Empire fort southwest of Almaria, in the lava zone. There are some Empire fights you will suddenly pick, but you should save often so you can be correctly prepared (casting Beast Ceremony) And when you feel powerful, pick a boat and go to Fort Dolt-har northwest of Fort Emerald (used to be Sss-thsss slith fort in A1) and kill some troops there. Then when you grow some levels up, rampage in Dolthar and kill Limoncelli. Just avoid the guards and run towards Limoncelli. He's not so tough, neither his guards are, so you would easily wipe them off at that moment. When you kill Limoncelli, it's a hilarious moment (no spoiler, just see it by yourself) After you kill Limoncelli, you can fight the guards outside Dolt-har and you can kill them. That would give you 5-8 levels approximately. Posts: 28 | Registered: Saturday, February 26 2005 08:00
Elizara Warrior Member # 182	written Monday, April 25 2005 09:35 Profile #5 I tend to do Kelnar's (sp?) quest to clear out the sliths east of the tower of magi first. The reward to that is nice too. You can sell all the weapons etc to Bernard in ToM so you don't have to carry the stuff too far. Then I go and free the nephilim from the napharim (top righthand corner of the map with fort duvno on). If I remember right they seemed to drop a reasonable amount of treasure. -------------------- All things are possible, except skiing through a revolving door.

Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Monday, April 25 2005 13:41 Profile Homepage #6 Remember that you can enter a town or dungeon, kill a few monsters, leave, rest, and return. That's very helpful when you're low level and trying to clear some of the tougher areas. —Alorael, who used that on sliths frequently. You'll find that you end up with too much loot to carry in one trip anyway, so you might as well go take what you have, change it into weightless cash, and refill your health and energy while doing so.

LlamaGod Apprentice Member # 4404	written Wednesday, April 27 2005 22:58 Profile Homepage #7 Thanks for all the tips, they have been very helpful! I've gotten up some levels and got better gear and take stuff easier, Eye Beasts are still a bear, though.

Elizara Warrior Member # 182	written Thursday, April 28 2005 02:04 Profile #8 Finding items which boost your fire resistance is always good. There are four dragonskin cloaks in the game. I think one is in the slith dungeon by ToM but you will have to look up the others in an FAQ. Chill charms can also help - buy from the nephils just north of mertis after healing the other village. -------------------- All things are possible, except skiing through a revolving door.

LlamaGod Apprentice Member # 4404	written Thursday, April 28 2005 13:48 Profile Homepage #9 Quest question: For the 'free the nephilim' quest available in Silvar, how do I free them?

Elizara Warrior Member # 182	written Friday, April 29 2005 01:38 Profile #10 Look around for secret rooms in the napharim lair. Lots of walking into walls may be required!

Elizara Warrior Member # 182	written Saturday, April 30 2005 01:30 Profile #12 There are two secret rooms. One with treasure that you have found and another one with a desk. Search the desk to find the key. -------------------- All things are possible, except skiing through a revolving door. Posts: 174 | Registered: Friday, October 19 2001 07:00
