Anyone can throw things that do not require the Throwing Weapon skill.

i found it... back on level 5 now

4th play-thru complete with a lone mage:
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/f ... =301846856 The mage was noticeable faster then his rogue counterpart (13h less!), right from the start due to the AoE-effect of spells. It's way faster to hit/kill 2 or even 4 monsters in the same spot then going after them one by one. Once the energy pool grew bigger and especialy after the energy potion spell was found the mage became simply unstoppable. While the rogue had to rely several times on resources like magic boxes or item/wand charges to keep things under control the mage rarely had to use any gimmicks; guess I used 3 or 4 magic boxes and that's it.

Back from holidays!
Thank you very much Dr.Disaster for all the support you did to gamers both on steam and on this forum!!


I've recorded your recommendations, but I will have no time to update the mod (neither to answer gamers' questions) for a while due to my job's overload...


Thanks again,

How do I kill the beholders, brute force?
I blow the horn 3 times and get xp.. whats that for?
I am using Toorum, will he lose his sword ability? Looking at the chat on here you get a book, but I would like to just keep using a ranger.

Like any other ranged monster. They have no immunities.

Like many items in this mod the Horn of Fear has several properties, depending on how/where it's used. As an item in hand it has the ability to turn/push monsters away. Used from inside the inventory it refills that characters energy. The experience gain is a side-effect on top of that.

Straight to the point: if Toorum stays a ranger you will not be able to finish this dungeon.

Having at least one mage in your party is required for this mod which is also clearly stated in the mod's description. Without a mage you can get as far as level 11 but from there onward you definately need one so if you don't have a mage you need to transform one of your other characters.

With Toorum being usually alone he needs to become a full fledged mage to keep going and due to this he will lose all his ranger abilities. Now before you can transform him you have to find that book first on level 11, hidden in a secret.

I could use some help please if anyone is still watching this thread.

"The Secrets must remain hidden. Key must remain sealed in the wall."
Does this riddle/puzzle refer to something nearby? Other than that I am not able to find anything unusual on that level. Does this key reside somewhere farther up and that I have to return here?
thanks
