@Crenshinibon, well, I was collecting Kegs whenever I could and when I was surrounded by 10+ monsters I just laid 5 or more kegs so I wouldn't have to deal with them myself.
I'm not surprised you didn't have trouble with those stats. They are truly overkill....
They were probably lining it up for a sequel, though I agree, definitely not the best of endings...
The trap might might be difficult to see, but if you can disarm it, it radically changes the battle. The odd Hujark comes to pester Da Vinci and Galileo, but that's it for monsters. You can just stand there firing away without needing a single keg and maybe using a couple of healing potions through the whole battle.
@H_D, probably not, no. I think the archery skill needs to be closer to 200 to be effective (it certainly doesn't need to be as high as 300
), but that pretty much rules it out for you at the stage you're at.
What kind of pooints do you have in Sneak and the Elemental (Thought) Magic types?
