It goes away over time, just takes really long.

Is there a way to disable/fix the stamina mechanic yet? I want to continue from where I stopped a week ago, but the thought of resting every 20 spaces makes me reluctant.

 

[rickralsten]

Any reason to NOT sell the Death Mask for 900 gold? It's a cursed item and it seemed to kill my character.

 

[felipepepe]

Made a quick map of the first "zone", aka the Super Demo area:

You're doing God's work

The last tablet, Thanatos, has been found.

Why do I get "Danger Sense" at the endgame? ;z

The spell? I've had it as an option for my sage at level-up since the Cenotaph.

Also, fuck oreworms.

 

[Haba]

Meh, shoulda taken a Sage. Lots of spells that I don't have at all.

How many pieces of the Bell are there? I've found three but can't find any more. Nor can I merge them...

Spoiler

One in Loch Lalain, two in Loch Titan

What do you do with Alonzo Sangursu (bones + coin)? Is it only useful after Lalain Falls?

I recently discovered that the true purpose of food in this game is to refill your stamina bar, it's cheap, plentiful, and quite handy for that.

They also helps to cure from disease.

Thx, I really need to start using locate item, had 100% of the map done and could've sworn detect magic didn't go off on that tile...

 

[Haba]

What is the point of "Crow's Nest?"

How to open the locked door(s) in "Smuggler's Hideout"?

Is the "Dead Ringer Chart" supposed to do something?


In Zephyr Isles, there are two things that I haven't figured out yet:

Spoiler

Detect Magic goes off at the "something", searching finds nothing, no switches nada.

Can't read the runes, even with all my skills being super high.

 

[Viata]

I don't think anyone knows the first two questions.
If you have that Admiral in your party, he can read that chart, or so someone said it here. It's to find those bell instead of Detect Secret.
I can't also read the runes and the same happened to me with that "something", maybe you use some item there.

 

[warcrimes666]

this is how to find out whats at that southern 'something' spot:

Spoiler

When you talk to neriad, she says how nick was attacked by pirates, and that he knows where everything is
when you find nick, it says how hes injured and in bad shape so you have to use the heal NPC option 3 or 4 times
then nick lets you in on something thats located there

Spoiler

Black Pierres buried treasure, has one or two unique items i haven't found a use for yet

 

[Tigranes]

I feel like I'm missing something re. Crowl stuff.

Spoiler

I killed Hobknob and the Lich, I found Mistral's body and interred him in the Catacombs and spoke with his ghost, I entered the inner Tomb showing nonorthodox depictions of St George, and I explored all other areas like Sky Barge except for Samhain Gorge. Yet I have no concrete proof or trail against Argosyre, I still can't find that bloody broach, and I can't meet Captain Krone since I've not seen a whiff of the 'expedition'.

Am I supposed to just keep traveling on for now?

Since you decided, for whatever reason, not to

Spoiler

explore Samhain Gorge,

you've missed a vast amount of content.

As for Krone,

Spoiler

you should have found a Signet Ring in the Pit of Hobknob, providing evidence of the expedition's demise.

 

[Tigranes]

I thought going that way would lead me to a different hub and a different area, really. I guess I'll go through it now.

Yes, I found the trinket, but I didn't realise what it was for, silly me.

 

[DoomIhlVaria]

I'm not supposed to fight

Spoiler

the Samhain Horror

, right? What am I doing wrong?

Oh god, this is so stupid. The beast kills every mage in my party before anyone can act, then my fastest character reads 'Hold Monsters' scroll. That paralyzes the Horror indefinitely, so my ranger kills it very slowly with Caliburnus, because nothing else seems to be able to hit it.
And my eyeperson doesn't get experience, because raise dead spell doesn't work in combat for whatever reason.
Uuuuggghhh.

Magic screen and armorplate give a reasonable chance to survive until the bard steps in

This advice probably saved me from an aneurysm today.

Anyone use backstab on their Thief or Ranger? I was thinking of getting both (rerolling) so I could multiclass both to Assassin later, but not sure if backstab and stealth are worth investing in. I tried hiding a couple times on my ranger and he failed every time and has about 20 in stealth. You have to take a turn and hide and then you can backstab right? Can you backstab with swords or other weapons?

I gave up on stealth for now. It barely ever seemed to work. Even when fighting one creature that was asleep, paralyzed and almost dead - no one could reliably hide from it. On the few times hide DID work, backstab didn't seem to fire. I assume its like lethal blow, and just "goes off"? If its just a flat increase in damage then I didn't even notice, and/or my thief was "no penetrate" too much regardless.

So, it seems pretty useless in normal play. Especially since bard/sage CC spam and just poudning things to death with melee works so well.

Hi!

Spoiler

is there a way around Samhain Underworld as I was warned by a dwarf the reason the chasm was blown to keep the dark creatures from rushing out and Cleve has mentioned there are multiple ways to completing quests so what is the safest way around this region without going through it and using the little stepping stones as I would like to keep these horrors locked away forever. I read there is an airship you can get to by using a helmet with wings will this airship get you over the mountains and to the area you might come out from the underground portion so I can continue forward?

Thanks,
Sherry

I find new 2-handed weapons (Stormbringer, Massacre) -- but when I equip then -- the action prompts are: Bite, Claw, Punch, Kick? Is it a STR requirement? Bug? Unsure why it's not working.
