I like finding unexpected events in games like that

The sea-monster thing happens on the beach right at the beginning too... I think it's the game telling you your guy reeeeeeally doesn't swim well

I just figured something out about the sea monster:


Other than bragging rights are there any other benefits for your "Achievements"?

Not much. I got the IDIOT achievement for jumping off the wall three times and dying each time. I didn't realize I had only 1/4 health at the time. It was rather funny seeing the idiot sign appear since I didn't realize what it was.

Talking of idiots - that's me at the moment huh? Apologies - I corrected my erroneous post. I've been pretty tired these last few days - must really get more sleep...

The 3rd stooge is right here: Had the Idiot title for quite a while now.

For those of you who may need/want it there is now finally a walkthru for this game.

Happy gaming.

Thanks, oldman. There is also an incomplete one at gamefaqs but the one you mentioned covers the entire game.

There is a patch for Risen that fixes the problem with Nvidia graphics

Merrick--do you happen to have the address?

Yes, just seen it at fileshack

I'm at the part where I have to search for the titan armor. Patty says she will come with me to help. However, she tags along for a while but then stops and says she will wait. I've tried going to different locations but she refuses to go further after a certain distance. She will not teleport with me either. What am I doing wrong?

Is this on the west coast? Patty will only go to the bridge by the waterfall. If that is where you are, look around. NPCs do not teleport.

Big help she is, isn't she?

Thanks, Pokey. I was trying to do the bandit camp one first and she went only to the bridge before the camp. I tried going to a different cave but she stopped halfway there.

Actually, she is. When I did the one on the west coast she was very helpfull. She killed about 80% of the lizardmen on the way to the cave while I mostly watched. I don't think she is intended to do the bandit camp. She will escort you to the cave.

You're right, Pokey. I had taken her to the wrong location. Finally got it right. She was a great fighter all the way to the waterfall bridge. I just don't undertand how she, with bare arms, legs and midriff, doesn't show a scratch. Whereas, I, in my really good armor, gets shredded very easily.

I'm still doing the titan armor quest under the waterfall, the one where Patty helped. I turned the first winch and the first barricade of the final door opened. I turned the 2nd winch (by shooting it with an arrow) and the other stone barrier lifted before the final room. When I returned to the main room before the end room I could see the undead beasts waiting for me on the other side. I went to the third winch and turned it. When I returned to the main room the metal grate before the final room was opened but another stone wall had closed again. I've been trying to redo the various winches and the only one I'm having trouble with is the one I shot. It's the one that controls the barrier that is blocking me now. I don't know what happened in this sequence because all of the winches had turned for me. I can repeat all of them except this shooting one. Does anyone have any ideas or a cheat to get this door open?

I'm not sure what you have done. If the metal gate is open, you should be able to proceed. The armor piece should be in the room behind the gate. The winch that you shot with the arrow should lower a bridge. Is the door you are talking about across the bridge?

I,m pretty sure this is the titan boots and you can find a step by step walkthru here and check to see if you missed any steps.

That's a great looking WT. Oldman

Thanks Pokey

Did you find your problem Rowan?

Sorry for not getting back sooner. I was out visiting and haven't had a chance to play again. Oldman, I've been using that walkthrough and I've done everything for that quest. Pokey, there is a triple barrier to the armor piece I need. There are 2 stone walls and a metal barrier. I've been able to raise and lower the metal gate and one of the walls. The last stone wall is operated by the winch that you have to shoot (I think). I did it once before because I had it open. I don't know why it came down again. Now it won't budge. I'll try again tomorrow but hope someone has a new idea. Thanks for your responses.

Oldman, check out that square yellow switch in the one room. It opens one door and closes another, every time you push it. Is this not perhaps the problem?

There are 3 stone doors. One goes to the spikes and winch. Another goes to a winch plus a cavern with a hole through which you shoot the winch that lowers the bridge. With the bridge lowered, go through the last door (the one to your right as you face the metal gate). There is a stone door on your left. Go past it and across the bridge, around to the left, jump across the missing walkway and use that winch. The metal door should now be open. You need to push the yellow button to change which door is open.

Thanks all. I finally got it. I replayed each door sequence several times before everything fell in place. It was a frustrating couple of days. Nevertheless, I am enjoying this game.
