Incline Age of Decadence - Tips, Tricks and Spoilers

[darthaegis]

there is no mercenary by any entrance (outside, interior, after portal). only a dead body with some weird bomb-looking item.

Entrance of Ganezzar.

Entrance of Ganezzar.

yeah I figured and found it 20 seconds after I posted.

 

[Cyberarmy]

or the gem from Nasir's quest.

I kinda stuck on this one, couldn't even find Silvanus fellow lives :/
I'm a legit Aurelian Preator BTW.

Palace district. Across the street from the Lord's Justice guy. Across the street from the home of the kid who tries to get you blown up delivering a parcel.

You can sneak in and be awesome with lockpicks for a nice reward, or just intimidate them into giving it up. I don't think they seek revenge later, it hasn't happened to me, but I'm not sure.

The fucking breathing apparatus should really be available as the third special item from the curio trader! Make it cost like 2 thousand, whatever. It's frustrating to have completed the first two cities, look on the forums and realize that you've locked yourself out of the Abyss (4/4/7 physical stats).

Other than that, nice game; worse production values than what is available with the fucking NWN toolkit, though.

I hate to tell you this, but if you've finished teron and maadoran, then you are locked out of the abyss.

As for the mask, there is another one in maadoran, but it takes a mid level lockpick check. Also, you need combined dex and con of at least 12.

You could also toughen up and just march through the haze like a real man. Just saying. If you can't endure a little smog, you aren't going to achieve anything, anyway.

That's exactly what I'm talking about! and no, tried going down the well or marching through the fog, my physical stats aren't letting me do either.

If only there was some way of adding a stat point to your dex or con.

Have you been to Zamedi and Inferaie? You might discover a little medical machine. Or have you helped house calani or the thieves guild? You might even find another machine and a loremaster to go with it!

there is no mercenary by any entrance (outside, interior, after portal). only a dead body with some weird bomb-looking item.

That bomb is enough to kill the first thing and then if you agree to the following proposition, you will get an amulet that prevents further attacks. To get out again you need a high enough lockpicking skill though.

Any tips on the Harran Pass fight with the Ordu? 10/8/8/6/4/4, sword 10, block 7.

Use nets (makes it easy for your buddies to make mincemeat out of the enemies), buy that unique gladius in Maadoran merchants building, make sure you duelled/killed Belgutai beforehand (use bolas if you're having trouble beating him one on one) as he's gonna be pretty tough to handle in a crowd (and he may give them combat bonuses when leading the charge, not sure), sharpen weapon with a whetstone (Maadoran smith has 5 for sale IIRC) if your crafting is decent etc.

lol
And make such unique item common as dirt? Age of Decadence is not a Bethesda game where you can see everything on your first playthrough and that's one of the reasons I love it.

well I beat the game last night but I recall not being able to use the bomb

Well...
I got only sneak option for that house which I fail terribly since my character is a diplomat. I wonder if I messed things up...
Anyway to get a similar gem ?

Or you can just use the key (in the chest in that room with the blue glowing control panel).

Same thing happened to me (needed to pass sneak/dexterity and sneak/lockpick checks)I think you need to be Aurellian preator to even get an option to talk to them but not sure to be honest.

Yeah, I remember that there was some skill check to make it work again.

Hm, have no idea what it depends on then. I'll find out eventually through multiple playthroughs I guess.

 

[Agesilaus]

Nazir's gem doesn't require you to be following a particular storyline. All characters can go in and talk to them, unless something big changed in the last patch. Just don't expect to walk out unless you have a really high body count or some other way of scaring them.

Can somebody spoiler for which checks II would need int at 10. After playing through once I want to build a a loremaster hybrid and I am not sure about leaving int at 9 or going for 10

Int 10 unlocks only a flavor dialogue with Feng.

uh I thought maybe I need it for using the computers. well then I can live without the dialogue.

 

[Jaedar]

You need int+lore 19 for the highest check related to computers. So having 10 int can help by letting you get away with less Lore. But it's not a very essential check, and it needs addional stuff beyond stats and skills.

 

[Agesilaus]

Spoiler

is that the learn to use the computers check, or the hack into the temple check? If the former, you can just learn from the demon anyway, in which case 8 is sufficient.

 

[Declinator]

Int 10 unlocks only a flavor dialogue with Feng.

Wait, didn't int 10 also make you a gambling god at the Tavern in Teron?

Spoiler

You could gamble there with the legionnaire in the Merchant Guild's quest with int 10 and win over 400 golds to your own pocket and then threaten him with the rest of his debt to you. This means you wouldn't need to cheat or ask Cado for a favor/threaten Cado. Might be int 9 but I'm pretty sure you need 10.

 

[Agesilaus]

Int 9 gives you 75 gold winnings, but you still need to cheat...

Or fail horribly at cheating and make him pity you.
