At one point I even did those two jobs at the same time! I also have about twenty years in theater.Īfter spending about a decade taking care of my Dad, I'm now on my own, as Dad passed away at the age of 94 in July, 2012. Oceanside, California, United States I'm a former university professor of Reading Education and bartender. Avernum Crystal Souls 19: Finally, a Tough Fight!.Avernum Crystal Souls 20: Taking Charge!.Avernum Crystal Souls 21: The Laugh's on Me.Avernum Crystal Souls 23: Smashing the Portal.Just Return Life and he ought to have the merchandise in his inventory.) (Another way to do this that ought to work: just shield and haste one character and get him to where he can take the Orb. (Well, Max got killed, but I used Return Life so that was no problem.) And I've already used the Orb, and it works! Aldous kicked off the defenses, but I was able to run in and grab the orb, and got outta there before I got killed. I gave Mycroft an invulnerability elixir and hasted him and went into combat mode before I entered the chamber. The trick is to not try to defeat the defenses, just run in, grab the orb and run out while your meat shields keep the golems and eyebeasts away from the door. I thought that would turn off the defenses in the Orb chamber, but no. All that did was keep me from falling into a pit-something I'd avoided earlier by using Move Mountains. OK, there is no other way in, but when I was trying to exit, I finally triggered that gargoyle eye. Yep! There's still a lotta game left to play! WooHoo! Then I need to rescue one more Crystal Soul and I'll get Demonslayer. One good thing: I have gathered up some fabulous loot in this place! And of course, you need the Orb, which lets your party fly for short distances, to get to otherwise inaccessible places.
Next time I will continue to search the fort, observe the map, and try to find the secret. I found clues in books, things like "press the right eye of the gargoyle," and so far I haven't found any gargoyles. As far as I can tell, there is no way to get to it without triggering a fight so massive that it really seems impossible to beat. I've beaten everybody in that fort, including a lich and all the Empire wizards, who are fond of charming my stupider meat shield characters.īut I have found the chamber that holds the Orb. I'm stronger than overcooked lizard meat. Used that to get to Kothar, where the Orb of Thralni is stored.Īnd this turns out to be the toughest fight of the game so far.
I went to the Scree Pits and the half-finished fort and nabbed the blue pass. I know who it is, but I'll have to find some way to read a burned paper before I can prove it. Beat the spore beasts and you're in.Īlso, I'm tracking down the spy in Blosk. However, I did notice that the gate opened! So, it wasn't a puzzle per se, just a fight. Finally I realized that the runes were changing to colored squares. Once you got all four stepped on, you were surrounded by spore beasts. You have to step on some runes to open a gate, but absolutely no matter how you step on 'em it doesn't work. I found Thompson, and that one about made me quit the game, until I realized that it was just a fight. That was a fun kinda puzzle fight.Īnd plus, I did a few of the more minor quests. I also got the demented crystal soul at the entrance to the volcanic lands in the Vahnatai area. And finally, when I find something better than a good thing I already have, I'm selling the weaker object. At the time I was at about level 28-29, and I've been finding some really nice gear. Then I went back and slaughtered all the mages in the Ziggaurat. But you need the Dispel Barrier spell to do it. That got me a Phoenix Egg from the main Vahnatai mage, and plus, it was the most fun quest so far in the game.

The quest for the missing book you receive early on in Patrick's Tower requires you to drop a barrier caste by a dead apprentice, however in all my travels in Avernum so far I have not discovered how to learn this spell.I've finally found a fight I'm going to have serious trouble winning.įirst, I did the Lava Dome quest in Vahnatai lands. However these magical barriers you see (blue'ish cubes blocking doorways) I haven't been able to lower or dispell. With some guidance from the posts here I've been able to comfortably understand the mechanics of the game and I believe have developed a strong party that is able to handle almost everything thrown at me. I've been directed to the Great Portal from the castle, but prior to traveling there I've been attempting to clear out my quest log and explore every corner of the initial southwestern quarter of the world map. I've gotten my party up to level 14 so far, and cleared most of the beginning areas.

I've been playing Avernum 6 (which is my first Spiderweb Software game) for the last week and I've been absolutely loving it.
