Taghor stayed in the back as an archer, but the 2 switched places on occasion when D needed healing. Later I had him use the +4 longsword, +1 shield, +3 banded mail, +2 bracers, ring of feather fall, and unidentified necklace. He was wrecking with the +5 halberd but also taking a lot of hits and getting paralyzed almost constantly. Dohrum had better stats so I put him in the front. The other 2 party slots were dwarf warriors that joined along the way. She actually mostly soloed a mindflayer when everyone else was paralyzed. It was more awkward not having all the same spells because the game did not pause during spell selection. I used all magic missile, acid arrow, fireball, ice storm and cone of cold. Sometimes I did that while waiting for the others to be ready to attack again, and other times I let her cast a nuke right after throwing. She mostly threw weapons but it was a huge pain that she could only throw 4 before I needed to go into her inventory to manually equip more. According to the walkthrough I missed a +4 dagger early on but I did not want to go back for that. Her gear included +5 robe, ring of sustenance, ring of protection+2 (no AC), +5 dagger, +4 adamantium dart, and a bunch more regular darts and magic wands. It took a lot of save state scumming to get such sweet stats for the other characters, while here it was 18 int or reroll. Otherwise I mostly used empower (bless), aid, cure paralysis, meditation (mass aid) and mass protection vs evil.Įndora the lawful good human mage, level 9. Her create food was a god send because the party had been struggling with food up until I started playing again. Casting any single target spell manually was very tedious though. She was invaluable for healing and I liked the auto heal casting during resting far less tedious than other games. Occasionally she took a spot in the front when a regular front liner was too hurt. Her inventory was filled with rocks for ammo. She ended at level 8 using -3 cursed sling, holy symbol in off hand, banded armor, helm, boots, shield, +3 mace, ring of sustenance, ring +2. I cannot remember if her lockpicking was useful at all.Ĭrysta the lawful good elf cleric 16 str, 14 int, 16 wis, 16 dex, 17 con, 18 cha. Her end gear: drow bow, 14 arrows, plate mail, helm, ring of feather fall, ring of protection +2 (does not improve AC, maybe only saving throws?), boots, shield, +3 nightstalker sword. She spent most time in the front row until I got a dwarf to join, then she became an archer. Valcaria the neutral good elf fighter/thief.

He never got high enough to use any spells. Both of those rings improved AC and his ended up being -9, nearly untouchable. He ended at level 8 with +5 longsword, +3 drow shield, plate mail, +3 bracers of defense, helm, medallion of luck, ring +3, ring of feather fall, and drow boots. Myself as a human paladin, though I chose an elf portrait. I used my experience playing old school 2nd edition games like Baldur's Gate and Icewind dale to create my party of 4: But now I used online maps and a walkthrough to reach the end. Then when faced with the prospect of finding my way back without any maps I decided to quit playing. I managed to get all the way to level 10, rescue the dwarf prince and bring him back to level 5. Back then I didn't have a mobile phone so I played it without any online help, and did not draw my own maps.

Finally beat after starting it around 10 years ago, playing the SNES version on my PSP.
