I think the bluish eggs are spider mines. I used a couple of them when I realised some guys were going to come my way.

There are two exits in orc territory when you use the tunnel. The first was really close to what you needed to blow up. The second is a long haul from the well you need to poison. When you get out of the mine, pause the game, bring up the map and look for a flag to the east. Once you unpause the game, run for the flag. I found a potion helped me a *lot* doing this bit.

You're doing so great for your very first RPG!!!

I could never get the eggs to work for me..good luck if you try them.

Sounds like you and your character are having a wonderful time exploring..fun isn't it.

How did you and train blow-up go? Remember, the dark potion is invisible and will come in handy, very handy in Orc country

Ingie

The train blow-up was pretty easy. I did it in 2 tries
What is the dark potion? i don't think I found that yet.
Also, when you fight a lot does your weapon lose effectiveness?

Both your weapon and your armor gets damaged as you fight. But fear not, the local smith can repair it for you. You'll find the smith near the Ars Mysti(rest of name forgotten) teleporter. His name is Geoff and he's hot. When you follow him to his shop, you can use the repair (hammer) button at the top of the trade window. Anything that needs to be repaired will have a red price rather than the normal colour. He'll tell you how much it costs to repair. He can also identify any mystery objects you may be carrying.

Just an update. I'm a lev16 and i have killed all the trolls, killed the guy in the black coat and I'm finishing up in the farm area. Still can't find the orc water supply.

Look on the map, north of the orc supply train and almost the east most edge of the map. There should be a flag.

Hi Kim,

Sorry, real life so I didn't get in to check on you.

The dark potion, which you should have found by now, is invisble. When you drink, no one can see you.
So, if you have 2 bottles..drink one..sneak up to the well. As soon as you drop the poison in the well, they'll see you..but drink the 2nd and get out of town. You can try to stay and fight; but it's quite a swarm of them.

Did you find the well?


Ingie

Ok Ingie, I'm dense. If the potion is invisible how do I find it? Where can I find it?

I'm doing well otherwise. I'm a level 17 and i've solved a lot of quests, including wiping all the trolls in their lair and the ghosts in the church. Havne't figured out how to use the bows yet and I only have 3 arrows so i don't want to waste them.

I think what Ingie meant was, the potion (Dark Shadows, I believe it's called) will grant invisibility when you use it, you become invisible. The length of time you are invisible depends on the size of the potion.

That's odd. I thought in Divine Divinity you didn't actually need arrows for your bow. I never had trouble with it.

You're correct Pib. You just need the weapon, apparently you have an endless suppy of arrows to use.

Sue

That's right--that's right and those arrows you do find don't do any thing--I think I ended up selling them.

Its silly, I've only played 4 darkside games but already I am getting them mixed up. Lotta help I am!

You're doing a grand job Pib. All you need to do in the RPG game is remember the nuances and you certainly have.

Sue

Oh good then I'll try the bow. I finally poisoned the water, killed a lot of orcs too but there were too many so I couldn't pick up goodies. Maybe I'll venture back and get them. I alos got the invitation to the castle. I'm a lev 20. Is this a good time to go or should i work on getting all the teleporter scrolls?
Also, what are your favorite skills?

Hi

Take it from one who learned the hard way ....

DON'T go into the castle till you have done every possible other quest !!!!



Cheers.
