Rowan I'm glad you got it finally Now, have fun with the rest of the game

Congrats Row. I went through the same frustration so I know how it feels.

That was also the worst and most frustrating dungeon for me, I must say! Well done.

I'm at the end fight now. I'm getting very good at dying. Is this winable? I've got the walkthrough pages printed out in front of me and I'm on easy level.

The important thing is to watch the runes and move quickly to stay off the lit ones. I'd stay off the outer ones as much as possible. Do not use the shield while moving as it slows you down. Then hold up the shield to bounce his attack back to him and run in fast when he kneels. Hit just once and then watch the runes again. Once I paid attention to the runes, I had no problem getting in 6 hits. I didn't even need any healing.

Thanks for all the help but I am giving up on this. I'm experiencing more frustration than enjoyment in this battle. I liked the rest of the game.

Going to load up Dragon Age later.

The ending was rather strange. You didn't make use of all the building up of your character. Nothing like the usual Gothic game. You didn't miss much.

I am about to start Dragon Age as well. I still have some questions to answer about the DLC.

I gave up on the ending as well. If I had more patience and younger hands I probably could have but I have neither so what I did was watch the ending on Youtube so all I missed was the frustration.

Gee, so does that make me the only person around here stubborn enough to carry on until I finally got that big ol' titan?

I think why I kept going with the end boss, is that I'd read up on how to do it, and they said you only need to hit him 7 times..

I saved the game after every hit, but in the end, I had to hit him 11 (eleven) times before he finally fell...

I believe it took 7 hits for me to bring him down. I have read that you can't save while battling him and that it starts the process all over again. I didn't try saving. Once I got the rhythm, it didn't seem hard.

Oldman, thanks for the link to YouTube. That certainly is a much more relaxed way of conquering the enemy of the world. Now I can put the game away in peace and not wonder about what I missed. I like the exploring and discovering parts of a game the best.

Ah, well, as you guys could see on the video, you didn't miss much with the ending. It was a bit of a disappointment for me.
