Nethergate crack

Romans are forbidden from getting points in this circle. Useful Skills First Aid: Affects your skill with healing kits, and potion making.

Not too useful, but moreso than it is for the Avernum series. Spells usually work better. Romans will find more use for it. Herbcraft: Helps you find herbs, and increases your potion making. Go for a few points. Faerie Lore : Affects your luck with some special encounters.

This skill is required. Romans can't train in this skill, but can gain it from a few special quests. Woodscraft: Helps you find herbs, food, and avoid monsters.

Go for a few points, it sure doesn't hurt. Zeviz: Some woodscraft is also necessary in finding a spell and doing some minor quests outdoors. Eventually you'll want about 10 points counted for your entire party. Barter: Money isn't usually a problem, but with this, it's even less of a problem. A point or two every now and then doesn't hurt.

Luck: Affects random encounters, resistance, and gives you a chance to avoid death. Go for it. Tool Use : Gained through a few special encounters for the celts, trainable for the Romans. This skill gives huge bonuses to Romans. Very useful, try maxing your skill out for at least one character.

Celts can't train in this skill. Character Traits: A note on experience penalties, from Zeviz: I just ran some test and here are the results: 1. Experience is split completely randomly between your party members. This means that is doesn't matter who strikes the final blow. Experience bonuses and penalties are random and appear to be less severe than stated. There was also a slight difference in the rate at which they were gaining skill points, but not nearly as much as I expected.

More tests are necessary, but experience penalties don't look nearly as severe as they are supposed to be. Positive Faerie Blood: I haven't tried it, but it doesn't sound half-bad. Toughness: Reduces damage. A good skill. Nimble Fingers: One person should have this. Preferably a spellcaster, since they'll have high intelligence and decent dexterity, so will have a naturally high tool use skill. Recuperation: Faster healing can be replicated with jewelry. Not worth it according to Fallen on the message boards.

Beastmaster: You may want it. I never remembered to use it. According to General Baziron, it's useful at the beginning but steadily drops off, in my opinion. Fast on Feet: Increases your AP occasionally, as well as you attack timing. Especially for a warrior, according to Zeviz. Faerie Familiar: You may want it. Nature Lore: Cheap and useful. Go for it for at least one person. Highly Alert: Okay, but there aren't many paralyzing monsters, and very few sleep casting monsters.

Mighty Warrior: Makes you better in combat. Not too bad a skill, although it's quite expensive. Further investigation is needed. Negative Cursed at Birth: Too painful. Sluggish: Being slow isn't too bad. Works well for Druids Nooboon. Prevents you from hasting druids. Zeviz Frail: Not too bad Zeviz.

Berserk rage: Give everyone this. It should be a positive trait- your characters act faster and hit harder, for the cost of getting hit more often. Sure, you don't have control over it, but you're still very powerful. Rational Mind: Myeh, if you're Celtish- you probably haven't even heard of Pythagorus. Romans can go for it, but the experience penalties in this game aren't too big a deal. It's a standard spell to the Celt repetoire. Purge Venom: A necessary spell, removes venom caused by disease and a few rare creatures.

Alertness: Okay, but not too useful. Few creatures cast sleep. Recovery: Cures disease. A necessary spell, since you will be doing some swamp roaming. Unshackle Mind: For the few cases in which you get paralyzed, it's useful. Total Healing: A powerful spell, the top of the line for healing. Raise Dead: Supposedly restores life, but it requires a balm of life. Doesn't work too well, in my experience. Just reload. War: Battle Rage: One of the three standard Celt attack spells.

Cast it before any big fight, at least until you get beast ceremony. Shielding: One of the three standard Celt attack spells. Lance of Fire: A damaging but costly spell that grows with your level. Save it for tougher enemies, like fights with goblin shamen. Quicksilver: One of the three standard Celt attack spells. Beast Ceremony: Very nice.

Cast it before any major fight, if you can. It'll save you a lot of time and SP. Darts of Ice: A nice, multi-enemy attack spell. It'll kill a lot of things. Heartshock: Very potent damaging spell. Use it on very tough enemies. Hero of Old: The best spell in the game. Unfortunately, you can't get it till late. Beast: Call Aid: Summons a minor creature, usually wolves. Bite of the Serpent: May poison your target. Doesn't work too often. Coil of the Serpent: May slow your target.

Again, doesn't work too often. Charm Beast: Not too bad, although I usually just kill the beast. Beast Call: Summons stronger beasts- worgs, giant lizards, plague and mung rats. Capture Soul: Get a basilisk, and maybe a few other critters. Then bring them back with simulacrum. Unfortunately, you can't use it in many places. Simulacrum: The second half to the spell Capture Soul.

Nice and potent. Mighty Beast: Summons big monsters- foul rats, dark wolves, lava and lizards. Craft: Create Light: Generates some light. Not too bad. Piercing Sight: Scans for secret doors on your map. Very useful, but expensive. The map will give some indication of secret doors, just become familiar with it and you'll see what I mean. Pass Portal: Unlocks doors. Necessary until you get a lot of tool use. Still, an expensive spell.

Remove Curse: Save before equipping an item, then try to take it off. If you can't, then it's cursed, and you should get rid of it. Voila, no need for Remove curse! Word of Recall: Nice spell that instantly warps you back home to Nethergate.

It must be used outdoors, though. Create Food: A necessary spell, especially in some of the later areas. Cast this spell whenever you're going on a long walk, just to build up some free food. Break Barrier: A necessary spell, somewhat hard to acquire.

Stone Guardian: Summons up a carytid, a very powerful monster. Probably better than all of the beast circle spells. Spirit: Disrupt Spirit: Hurts the undead. Very useful in some locations. Sever Seal: An almost necessary spell. Get it from the stone circle, don't pay the outlandish price of salespeople.

Spirit Ceremony: Decent way of healing, although I prefer simpler spells like heal and purge venom. Zeviz: Costing an equivalent of 1. The only problem is that it can not be cast in combat Ravage Life: A potent and useful spell.

Unfortunately, by the time you get it, you're probably more than powerful enough and don't need to use it. Control Life: Interesting spell, I don't use it much though. Let me know if it's any good.

Soul Lance: Powerful spell, moreso than ice lances. Call Spirit: Summons some undead. Okay, but you can probably do better with your SP. Doom: Very potent and hard to acquire. Use with care. Nether spells Miraculous Revival: I couldn't get this one to work. Let me know if you can. Wind Warriors: Summons some ultra-powerful wind warriors. Call Hunt: Summons some big wolves. Wind Warriors is probably better.

Create Elixir: Makes a beast elixir, which is very potent. Unfortunately, it costs a skill point, which you may not be willing to spend.

The only Nether spell usable by the Romans. Zeviz: Why would you want to permanently loose a skill point if you can make the same elixir using alchemy or buy it in a store what else are you going to do with your money anyway? Clouds of the night: Powerful, multitarget spell. Probably the most worthwhile Nether spell.

Take as much as you can find, even the nasty monster innards. When fighting, first cast battle spells like rage, shielding, and quicksilver. You'll kill your enemies with haste.

Save the damaging spells for tougher enemies. Grab everything you can carry at first and sell it. You may have to leave the dungeon a few times, but it's worth it. As you get higher in level, don't bother- just pick up the valuable stuff. If you can't get to someplace, most likely you don't have the proper equipment or spell. Either that, or you need to play as the other party.

There are two big mysteries- Pearlblossom, and the puzzle box. Any information on these two items would be most appreciated. You wake up, confused in your hut. Get your items, and equip them. You should wander around a bit, and get acquainted with the controls. To the south there is a hut with 2 potion recipes. In order to make these potions, you'll need to have adequate skill.

To the north is Morgan who will buy, sell, and identify items. Mugain is a druid who will heal you. Cormac gives you a mission to retrieve the Bronze disk and will sell you war , heal Bituitus will train you press the question mark under your character's name.

Elara will fix you food every now and then, grab the bread for 6 food. Leave Nethergate and circle around to find some poor leather armor, a fine leather helm, and 30c.

Your next stop is the Goblin pits. In the stone circle, you can get into a fight with some goblins with a regular large metal shield as your reward. Further to the east, you'll find some salespeople. In the center of the map, you'll find a fine spear hidden among the trees. There's a blind man at the crossroads, give him coins to be a good person.

Elona sells potions and rings of protection, but at high prices. Find your own instead. There are some goblins guarding the pits if you try to enter from the east. Kill them for 15 coins, 15 food, and a healing elixir. There is the second hermit to the NE. You can give the first hermit's scroll to it to get another scroll. The main object is to retrieve the bronze disk, but you should also grab the three keys. The first 3 come pretty readily, but the last 3 are a chore to obtain.

Nonetheless, you want to obtain them all prior to doing the later quests. Once you find one, many doors and chests will open up to you, enabling you to loot as you please.

You can get a lot of good stuff this way, including valuable jewelry and potions. If you try to take the fort head on, the goblins will stone you. When you're wandering around to the south, you'll have to fight some giant rats.

There's a nearby secret area with a sling, some food, herbs, and javelins. Eventually you'll make your way up to the Fort Proper, and will get an option to fight or hide from the Goblins. Do either I like to fight, it gives decent experience , and then head down the stairs. In the hallway to the northeast, there is a secret passage to small room with food, coins and herbs. You're noted to its existence by a text box popping up saying, "This wall looks fuzzy" or something like that.

Continuing east, you'll find a Fomorian with the Bronze disk, and a secret room with coins in the wolf room. Nearby this Fomorian are the stairs to level 3. You'll find key 2 in the secret room with lumber. Elsewhere, you'll find a blessed dagger on the altar guarded by goblin shamans and such which summons 2 lost souls when taken. To the NE are the halls of learning. In the first hall of learning you'll find the hasting draught recipe. In the second hall of learning, the west book summons 2 lost souls, and the east book will teach you craft circle spells.

In the third hall a book teaches you beast circle , and gives you some later info. To the SW of this level is an arena with a secret room with a fine spear, and fine leather armor. You have to fight a lizard to get out, then pull a wheel.

To the SE there is a room that you get up through the third floor, and it has a blessed leather armor, 20 coins, and a jade necklace. Descend to the third floor.

There is a pool with crone, it just supplies story info. In the "Rat room" there is a secret passage to coins, and food.

Key 3 can be obtained by getting to the body on the ledge- go around the N side and search for secret passages. The fire lizards to the SW are guarding a cursed ring and a few other items. Finally, you can't get to the NW as the Celts, but can as the Romans. Now head back up to the first floor. There's a lot of stuff here, and the rooms have nice small treasure. The Goblin chief has key I.

If you want you can kill the sheep and cows to get some meat and amber charms non-magical. Now that you have all of the keys, you can open up the doors found in this dungeon: First floor: II- wolf pen door: fine leather armor, potions. III- Goblin room door: Wand of ice, draught. SE corner, undead area: c, chain mail. Fomorian home: fine chain mail, ring of skill. The trapped chests south have coins, a silver ring, several potions and a ring.

Head back to Nethergate, and give Cormac your disk. Cartumnus will see you 5xp now. He tells you to go to the Ruined hall. Before doing so, you may want to hit a few more areas, and build up your levels for a bit. The best place to do this for now is Galag-Trav. Alternatively, you may want to hurry through the initial story and grab a fifth PC in Vanarium, then have them join you in accumulating skill points. Q: Retrieve Hathwisa.

There's a talking fish on river's edge. North of Goagh- Nar is a goblin with a skull, the same is true to the south you must first have received the quest from area 9. The south goblin will attack you, the north won't. I've not seen any difference between having mercy and not in this case. There's a bunch of cheating goblins here too. In order to have them play fair, bring your own dice. Or, better yet, bring Sylak's dice! When you do this, they attack you minor reward.

He wants you to find his daughter. Sounds like a worthy quest. In the Fomorian shrine, destroy the altar 5xp to summon up a spectral warrior and wolf. Kill them, take the knife, then check W for a box with herbs. West of here there's a room with a secret passage with a fire barrier.

Beyond is a trapped chest containing a ring of accuracy, a set of magic lockpicks, and a few other goodies. Shade room S, go through doors to find a battle axe. Pushing the S buttons followed looping around to the N enables you to pass this level without too much hassle. There's a secret pillar with a button to push to the SW, use this to access the area slightly east, there's a III key on the body there. There's a final button on the pillar near the stairs, use it when you need to leave, after taking the stairs down.

There's also a pillar with information. There are Fomorians up above who would love to throw a lot of rocks at you. You'll want to make your way to the SE, and open the door, freeing the annoying Hathwisa. Get her out of here after fighting off all the goblins she attracts 5xp, endurance bracelet. There's a secret room SE, with ruby hidden in pile of skulls.

In the fire lizard room in the central SE is a body with a fine spear, fine leather armor, and some lockpicks. To the NE is a secret area with a barrier blocking the passage, which is passable, but damaging. Open the box and get poisoned for a fury helm, which is a great piece of armor, as anyone can wear it it's non- encumbering. Give it to a druid.

To the N is a passage to get up, and fight all those stone-throwing Fomorians. They're a tough foe, and you may want to wait for a while. The leader is a Fomorian with a ruby imbedded in his skull, the object of a later quest. Go ahead and grab it, if you can.

Also while you're here, check the NW room for a bunch of goodies gold ring, wine, entertaining scrolls, paper, magic lockpicks. Respect, Protect, Enjoy when you visit Suffolk. Nearby Attractions….
