slaughtered

liz76love · 08-15-2003, 10:18 AM

HI,
I really like this game, however I am getting really frustrated. Im just finishing up trynton and trying to go explore else where. but i cant get 10 ft away from trenton before getting attacked by like 15 diffrent monsters several times in a row. Im getting slaughtered and im frustrated. is there something im missing or is it always this hard?

Which way are you headed?

And are you being attacked in trynton or after you have left?

What level is your party?

You're probably in the swamp, one of the open areas. If this is the problem, inly fight when at a wall. If needed, spend the first combat rounds running to a proper place to fight. And always watch the radar (xray on)

Hi
my party is level 10. I am right outside the tree of trynton. Im trying to head west. I assume this is where I go next? I try to get up against the wall but I still get kicked pretty hard. and im not sleeping much because of monsters regenerating. but I cant seem to get to far.

Level 10 or 11 is normal at this stage.

You're heading west? Isn't that where you came from?

Since Trynton is quite small, monster regeneration shouldn't be a problem. Just rest at a save place (inside the tree).

Big groups in this area are usually plants. Against them, missile shield is very important. And its a point where spellcasters shine. 3 spellcasters can disable big groups in 2 combat rounds, while a melee-oriented party has to walk around a lot.

If there are yellow dots, stay away from them (especially Picusses). The won't attack unless you go near them.

And don't be afraid to rest. Monsters will respawn, but existing monsters might disappear too, so maybe you have a much better time after some sleep.

i usually go back to arnika, restock, then head north to mount gigas. it may be hard getting back but the swamp can be suicide if your not careful. Kunar sells many good items here too, but you will have to get through training (which is relitivly easy). this very well may be the hardest part of the game.

some hard creatures (or just annoying) along the way.

1- juggarnauts: up to 4 attacks and travel in groups of 8!

2- crimson poppies: dont underestimate these plants, they can spew some nasty goo.

3- Trynnie Outlaws: not hard but may cause the other trynnies (non-NPC) to go neutral if you attack them. they will also go hostle if you talk to them.

4- picusses: definatly dangerous. they look weak but they can easily surrond you and beat you to a bloody pulp.

Good Luck!

engage them in combat and then run back to the main entrance for trynton, there you will have a 3-sided barrier and extra help from green dots, plus if you get lucky chief Gari will get killed.
