What are these special potions for: purple potion, grey potion, and super drug?

syd, anachronox is a great game to play next. the end sequence at the end isn't too bad and I wouldn't really call it arcade but the hive mini game is a horror( had to have jerry do the hive game for me). keep your son handy for that and possible the river run. aslo even with the last official patch there were still lots of bugs remaining. you may wnt to consider downloading the unofficial patch that was recently released.

row,

purple potion: temporary resistance

super drug: +100% poison resistance at the cost of -100 spiritual resistance

gray--maybe someone else wiill know

Hi Row -

I have no idea what the gray potion is - I had some kind of secret potion but never did find out what it was for. I also wound up not using a single one. I just kept teleporting in and out and sleeping it off

I've played about 15 minutes of Anachronox and so far have managed to give poor Sly a severe headache from running him into walls (shades of Grim Fandango here). If the guy wasn't already sporting a black eye, he would be now for sure

I don't know what the grey one is either, I just know don't take the super drug or you'll be sorrrry
I'm sure glad to hear it wasn't just me on that last part of Anachronox. Jeepers, but I went round and round on that thing - I got to know some of those little buzzies on a first name basis. Syd, ol Boots wasn't too pretty to begin with, so he won't mind!

Oh good! someone else has trouble with "walls in the way" in Anachronax. After colliding with a wall I would change direction and inadvertently start going back the way I had come. It took me ages to get through the junk yard because of this.

I didn't think I would solve the river run by myself but once you have mastered the beginning of it, the last part was surprisingly easy.

Demona, Cornelius, and Iona are history. 2 more to go and then the finale! In advance, what skill will work the best on Josephina. I am assuming that there will be no handy ladder to whisk me outta there for refuelling.

Congratulations Rows I had more trouble with Iona than the other 4 I think. I just used Elemental Hail on Josephina and kept my trusty teleporter stone right next to me so I could get the heck out of there at a moments notice. It took a while since I was kind of far away from her but if you go in blasting away she doesn't have time to call up one of her death knights. Good luck

Moriendor down, Josephina left to go. Syd, I'll get my teleporter ready. Don't you just hate waiting for the bed to recharge itself?

Actually I found that part to be quite useful - that's when I did my housework

I'm having difficulty with Josephina. <img border="0" alt="" title="" src="graemlins/cry.gif" /> The deathknight gets in the way and she changes position. Then I have trouble targeting her. Then I die..over and over and over and over and over again. <img border="0" alt="" title="" src="graemlins/cry.gif" /> I can never drop that teleporter in the right spot. I die before I reach it. Are there any more strategies to overcome her?

Row, I took a black potion to get right next to her, hit her with the divine (nobleman's) sword to freeze her, and then kept hitting her with the disc spell, which also kept anything that happened to come up at bay.

row,

i just used a sword with freeze on it( not the spell)and hacked away.

i have also heard that blind works wonders too.

Yep,
I remember doing the invisible potion, hit her with blind and slashing away, I had better luck stopping saving, juicing up and doing it again. She's a nasty thing isn't she?
Ingie

Well, I heard this horrible death cry. I thought it was me ... again, BUT it was Josephina!! I'm taking a break now.

way to go Row

you are almost done!
