Several questions (mostly related to Halls of Stone)

Post by aberrant80 »

With that still missing walkthrough, I have a few questions I hope someone will be able to answer:

1. I found a soggy old pair of boots in a well in Halls of Stone. I believe it's useless but haven't gotten rid of it yet. Anyone think I shouldn't?

2. In the northern part of Halls of Stone, there's a group of lizardfolk claiming allegiance to some Malgi Hi, but I went ahead and cleared the whole area anyway. Then I looked at the quest log and there's an entry about God of Fire and Earth. Just wondering, will killing the lizards here affect that quest later on?

3. There are so many stairs going up from the Halls of Stone and one down to the Deep Halls. Which one should I go first to minimise the running around?

4. Should I play with less than 6 characters? My party seems to be levelling up pretty slow.

5. Need some hints about how to fight shadows. I think I've used up almost all my restoration potions and wands because of those danged strength drains. Hate it when they stand inside an obstacle and my characters couldn't target them.

That's it, appreciate any help given.

1. I threw the boots away. Doesn't seem to have any use.

2. No it does not affect the Malgi Hi quest because that comes later on in the game.

3. As for stairs, not much help I can give. Just press Right+Shift and start running ! :cool:

4. I am playing with 6 characters and the levelling is pretty fast. It's just that the first few levels are tortoise slow ! Now all my characters are level 9...going on 10 soon.

5. Fighting shadows...yeah they are not easy. Best way is to stay away from them and lob them with magic missiles. Weapons work against them about 50% of the time since they are incorporeal, so melee isn't very effective. Now I am meeting Master Shadows and Wraiths and it really gets tough. Also, try and make your cleric level up so she/he can cast Level 4 divine spells. One of them is restoration ! That should solve the problem.

Cheers ! ;)
