Hi all.

Another odd thing has happened in Sacred. Was asked by a magician/sorceror to kill a large spider and bring its brain back to make a magic potion/article. This I did but as the spider was nearing its end it gave me a quest. Wanted me to rescue the woman kept as a prisoner by the evil magician who required its brain.

When I returned to the man he knew I'd been given that quest and started a fight to the end. Found the key to his cellar but the doors in the cellar were locked. In fact the first door was open as I entered the cellar but it shut itself before I reached it and the key didn't work.

Have done this over eand over again. No go.

Then I killed a similar spider and collected a brain, when I returned to the area the place was deserted and the cellar doors were locked. So I gave up on that one.

Am now back in Braverock trying to reach the castle to meet Shareera and hand over the fifth element.

Surprised I've got so far and up to level 43. Have had little time to play for two weeks. Hope the tide has turned.

See you,

Alice

Edit: Got to level 42 unaware I had abilities to sread around !!!!!! There were over 45 waiting for me to use

What a rotten guide I'm making - can't find my way to the castle - would someone draw a map for me please

Jolly good job the Valor Gas company have brought their own potions otherwise we will lose this war

Or do we parachute in?

I'm off to bed.

Be back

Alice

I have a level 45 dark elf; I'm attempting to get to Shaddur Nur (I think) to take care of the big bad guy. But I can't find any undead potions or health at any of the merchants; without them, I'm a goner. This is driving me nuts.

Any suggestions?

I also started Bambi, my wood elf. She's at about level 19 or 20, but I don't think I chose the right CAs. What are the best skills and CAs to pump up for a wood elf? She has a level 25 unicorn to help her, level 6 hard hit, and level 6 poison tentacles; everything else is pretty low level. Should I start over? I hate to, as I do have two of a unique set -- first time that's happened to me and I'd hate to lose them.

The merchants replenish their stock everyday I think, use the portals to pop around to the different towns to check the merchants for potions.
I played a dark elf when the game was released, I relied almost entirely on Battle Fog, it freezes the enemies and you can kill them while they just stand there.

Can't give you any advice on Wood Elf

Hi Vermin

I went through Underworld Campaign with my Wood Elf and finished with her at level 58.

For me I liked Multiple Shot, Eye for an Eye, Poison Tendrils and Quick as a Flash. Hard Hit and Penetrating are good for a few points but I only used them in combos with Multiple shot.

I pumped all my points into Physical Regeneration and advanced other attributes with equipment add ons. My highest skills were:

Ranged Combat
Concentration
Agility
Moon Magic
Constitution

Using Poison Tendrils and peppering them with multishot made her pretty powerful at higher levels.

I also got equipment with the most slots I could and put my runes into those slots. Vamp runes that draw life help to make your arrows more powerful so I slotted them a lot.

Hi - I've completed Sacred and started Underworld as a Daemon.

In Sacred I discovered I could buy all the potions the trader had then, after coming out of the trading scene could go straight back and buy more. In Braverock I went round and round the traders doing this until my backpack was full.

Now must return to discover what that Daemon can do.

See you,

Alice

Hi All!

I'm in Underworld and at a stand still. I'm on Pirate Island and trying to get to the next one...Natchet Crab Island. I've been everywhere and can't for the life of me find anyway to get over there. I've leveled-up seven times just on that Island and in the crab cave (that got me there) trying to find some hole I missed. Pleeeese help !! I'm dieing here!!

Marilyn

Milee, there's a cave that you have to go through and at the other end is an exit to your next island.

Good luck.

John,

Thank you but I was already on Pirate Island (not the beach on the main). Finely found my answer at the Sacred forum site for Underworld. Someone else had the same question (thank God). Didn't think I would be taking a rowboat

Hi Marilyn,

The Daemon you import is really neat and has some awesome equipment. I tried to build my own in the Ancaria Campaign (Basic Sacred) and got her up to level 35 and have yet to find one of the swords and good stuff that they have in the imported version. At level 49 and with the spells and equipment that they give you to start your gal ought to be awesome.

Have fun

Hi all,

Am plowing through Underworld as a Daemon and, to date, am really bored stiff. In my opinion it is nowhere near as interesting as Sacred. Am in Purgatori at the moment and no one appears to recognise the fact Prutuk didn't make it. Even with the best weapons given him I couldn't keep him alive.

Have mentioned this before. The merchant in Purgatori will supply lots of potions almost immediately. When I trade the first thing I do is download his potions and then offer to sell two or three items. Then I trade again immediately to find he has many more potions, and the type I need so buy the lot. If it doesn't work I cross one of the bridges out of the town and return to do the same thing over and over again.

Also did this in Sacred - works like a dream.

Now back to the game. No fun dispatching worms and other monsters. And have not made up my mind if using combos really helps. They take ages to start working and am using more health potions than usual to keep alive.

Such is life.

Alice

John,

Did you know that over at the Sacred forum (Underworld thread) that someone found a way to get into Underworld with the Ancaria Campaign? Because the Daemon can fly (skill has to be at least 10) they were able to reach Pirate Island from Pirate Beach. The person gave a thumbnail of the route to take in the forum. You can't do any part of the main quest but everything else is a go. You should check it out. Someone else gave some info about also getting into another place, but I don't remember much about it.

I'm level 52 now, and just recently found a knock out sword. Some great armor as well, but these things didn't start appearing till I was almost to 50 level. Some of the swords I found in the Embalmed Forest gave over a thousand damage, but with no special magic affects. It seems that the higher your level is the better the equipment you find is. These things are always found, not bought. Bummer! The Merchants DO suck .

Have a good one John!

Marilyn

PS. I re-checked the crossover location and it's not from Pirate Beach but from East of the Oasis at Nomad-Nur if playing the Ancaria Campaign. Sorry about that.

Alice,

You poor dear. Your right. In the beginning there really isn't anything that can beat the Daemon if your on your toes. I never died until trying to beat some real tough guys in graves. Think it was on Volcano Island. There aren't as many quests but people to give them are harder to find unless you are looking really hard. There's a fair amount that don't show up because of being hidden in a house or something else. The only way to tell if something or someone is important...is to use the big map...zero in and look for the white dots in areas you've covered. Even then people may not have ?! above there head. I talk to them anyway to see if I can find out what's up. I've had a few quests that seem to "evolve" on there own doing this.

If you continue to be bored...like I said before...we can both just load BG :kiss: . I'm surprised that the combos are slow for you. I've found the opposite from playing Sacred. Now I'm able to quickly use any combo in the middle of a battle. It was a no-go in Sacred. There are also a few chars in this game that can strip you of all you magic (and something else) when in a fight. They were talking about this little known fact over at the Sacred forum.

Anyway, let me know what you want to do or if you want to stick it out.

Love,

Marilyn

Well, I finished last night at level 57. The end came fast and I wasn't expecting it. I kept dying in the last fight because of being completely out of potions, but I would keep re-spawning on the spot and he didn't regain any health each time so I was able to wear him down till it was over.

I wanted to leave and go to some of the places I missed, but with no health potions I couldn't stay alive long enough to get to any Merchant. That's OK. All's well that ends well.

Alice...I'm ready for BG if you are . Will EM you incase you don't see this.

Love,

Marilyn

Congrats on finishing Milee

Alice..how are you doing with it?
