Grimrock

Thanks for the response! I think I'll go Poison resist, then. Apart from a useful shield, it will net me a ranged hit on the Alchemist without needing to pick any other spell schools, and there's good synergy with the dagger that requires Earth Magic.

I haven't started playing yet, since I'm still planning my party, but I'm wondering if there's any elemental resistance I should prioritize while playing. My Battlemage is going to be specializing in Fire and Air, so that's two elemental shields he'll be able to cast. For my Alchemist, I'm consideri...

What the title says, really. We know the four Grimrock prisoners are chained to each other and this is why they stick together and move as one through the dungeon. But how are they chained exactly? At first I assumed they'd be shackled around the neck, but then I went back to look at the intro image...

Thanks a lot, this has been really useful! For the Rogue, I'm going to start with 2 in dodge and 5 in daggers, rush to 10 in daggers and 8 in assasination for backstab, then return to dodge until I get stealth. I'll continue raising both Daggers and Dodge until they've both reached theit final amoun...

Yes, I guess if I go with a Human rogue who gets skilled and evasive and all the 3 skillbooks, I get 52+3+15=70 skillpoints to spend, so 24 dodge + 22 daggers + 23 assasination = 69 points and a final point in daggers in case it gives a bonus. This leaves me with a Human skilled/aura Air Mage with 1...

Hmm, so how would I go making a decent Dagger frontline Assassin? 24 points in Dodge, 10 in Daggers and 23 in Assasination? Sounds like this guy would swallow up all the Skill Books!

As you have noticed both Missile and Dagger grant the same +Dex so the same +Evasion. With the Dagger Rogue being able to hold a shield beside his weapon he is better suited in the front rank than the Missile Rogue. In addition you don't have to split up skill points for your ranged rogue. The mini...

Hello! For my second Grimrock playthrough, I would like to try out all the options I missed out on in the first one. My first party consisted of an Unarmed Rogue, a Sword Fighter that mixed evasion and protection, a Throwing minotaur and an Ice mage. Since I'd rather not repeat and You-Know-Who uses...

I see. Maybe replace each shield spell with general "Elemental Shild". Something like this: Lvl 8: Elemental Shield (gives resistance to all elements, but only half value of original shield spells) Lvl 12: Light Armour Proficiency Lvl 18: Heavy Armour Proficiency Lvl 30: Shield Master (Do...

Excellent!
