How does levitate spell works in WOX? I cast it on the roof of witches the tower, tried cloud walking and fell down.

Spells reset at dawn, you may have unlucky timing.

 

[Tito Anic]

How do i go into secret room? I think alacorn might be there.

 

[Lacrymas]

You might not have enough Might to bash through it. Try teleporting or Etherealize.

 

[Darth Canoli]

I don't remember, did you get the hints from the prisoner(s) and the skull* (paying gems) ?
Otherwise, try to focus might boosts on one char (Knight or Barbarian ).

*One of them gives a legit info.

Riddle, or ingame lore? Getting teleported away and having to fight a trashmob every time is a hassle.

It's probably love. If it is indeed love, it isn't as bullshit as some riddles in MM3. "The greatest force of all" gives it away in that fairy-tale-like way.

That would've made sense, but it's 10 letters. I'm really only asking to know if it is in fact a riddle, or if I'm supposed to find the solution somewhere in the game. You're welcome to guess, though, since you don't know the answer.

 

[Lacrymas]

Have you tried typing in love or are you discounting it because there are 10 dots?

Well fuck me, I thought all the letters had to be filled in. Could've sworn I tried it, but I guess not. Thanks!

I'm about 20 hours into MM1 according to GOG Galaxy's log thing (which means not really), and I finally feel like my problems with poison are behind me.

Just kidding

Made 5th level sorcerer, and I am happy to report that The Fireball Moment™ is every bit as awesome as it was in Pool of Radiance. Maybe even more so, considering how useless my sorcerer has been lately.
I've been skimming through this thread, and I'm a bit worried that I haven't found any of these quests everyone is going on about, apart from the courier quest from the Sorpigal dungeon, which I haven't been able to complete. Is this prohibiting me from discovering other quests? There is a Remove Quest Cleric spell, after all.
No sign of the main quest yet either, but that doesn't worry me so much. I'm sure it'll turn up eventually, as those things are wont to do.
There's no way to identify item properties, right? I've just been consulting a list, but if there is I'll stop using it.

Things will open up quest wise once you find the Merchant Pass, that gives access to the Castles where the quest giving Lords reside.

No in-game way to ID items, unlike MM2.

That's pretty lame. What were you supposed to do back in the days ? Buy a hint-book (if there was one) or go blind ?

 

[Tito Anic]

What is the story behind Winterkil'ls gongs? I banged northern gongs 2 times - it didnt work.

 

[Darth Canoli]

Tito Anic
This one is tricky.

Spoiler

You clean the entire city from monsters, rooms and secret passage along the western wall included, then you ring the north-western gong and get back to the mayor (?) (the guy whom gave the quest, in the tent)

Spoiler

then you do it all over again as the ghosts re-spawned

Spoiler

and again ? i'm not sure

Good old trial and error, and pay close attention to those numbers in combat. Just like in for example Dungeon Master.

You can also tell by the prices of weapons in stores, where for the most part more expensive = better, and once you learn which items are magical using that sorcerer spell, you can just test them. I can't be bothered, though.

 

[Strange Fellow]

I just realized what the Fly spell does. I've had access to it for several hours...

 

[fantadomat]

I am replaying the world xeen and the inventory system is still meh. Thank god that the game is easy and you can't just ignore item min-maxing. Are there any mods for the game??? Also is there any difference between knight and adventure when you begin the game?

 

[Eggs is eggs]

Combats are more difficult in warrior mode. I believe the game was balanced around warrior mode so that should be considered "normal" and adventurer should be "easy." Otherwise nothing is different. I read in an interview somewhere that JVC's wife wanted to just focus on the game and didn't like the combats so they put in easy mode.

What is the story behind strange machine and crystal in Asp? How do i operate them?

There's a mod by the same author for MM3 and Xeen, makes the game harder, less attacks (but more hp), enemies status effect are harder to avoid, tougher monsters and so on.

you just find your way through the sand area and destroy the machine, i think http://shrines.rpgclassics.com/pc/mm4_5/

Anybody know if Drain Lifeforce does anything? Wights keep spamming it, but I don't see any change in HP, SP or stats, and there's no option to cure anything at the temple.
