Re: Playing Entombed @Figment, in case you know this I'm sorry, but if you don't, it might make your life easier. To go back to the village (after you unlocked it of corse) press f1, then f1 after you are done to return where you were before. the teleporter needs a bit to charge up so you can't use it all the time, but all you need is to walk around some time and you can use it again.

Re: Playing Entombed AS it turns out, you were right about the twilight village being between levels 2 and 3. I could have sworn that it wasn't that early in the game. Anyway, I now return to the village before going down the lext level, instead of waiting until I need to sell off stuff to make room for new stuff to pick up. and while there, stock on better weapons and armor if I can afford them, and on healing potions and or scrolls, and if they have them, a resurrection scroll or two.

Re: Playing Entombed
Re: Playing Entombed Entombed is based very much of the principles of a roguelike rather than a final fantasy style set rpg. So, rather than having specific characters and a story, you take a single character down into a dungeon with lots and lots of combat and randomness. Indeed one thing i really like in Entombed is that a lot of the tachtics involve thinking on your feet and deciding what your going to do with what resources, characters and situations the game throws at you rather than maximizing your options with equipment and over all tactics with a specific set of stuff.Hope you like the game, any questions, please ask.

Re: Playing Entombed
Re: Playing Entombed Well jason added to the game constantly for three years, then in 2010, with a new job and two new children he had to put development aside. Combine this with the fact that the game code, due to so much being added aparently grew quite eclectic and it's likely entombed is pretty complete, though the game is certainly far from being an early version and highly playable, it's just that extra functions such as scripting to create custom content or fundamental changes in the game's system weren't possible with the existing code.Whether Jason will do a final bugfix I don't know, but in the mean time we still have an awesome game either way, even if one that didn't get all the planned expantions. More recently (as of last year in fact), Jason returned to development and started work on Entombed ii. There were some very very very! early alphas which experimented with things like a ranking system and a different style of exploration whi ch would more easily make for things like environmental hazards and avoidable fights, and development was promising, but where things are now I'm not sure, still I have a lot of faith in Jason and am sure we've not heard the last of things, though more likely with entombed Ii at this point. Even with original entombed, back in 2007 the initial alpha was nothing to write home about, then around a year later boom! suddenly a major game with huge amounts of content hove out of the blue.

Re: Playing Entombed @Figment: Healing spells can actually be directed to a given body part the same way an offensive spell would be, but it seems the player can't direct it to a character's torso, whereas any non-playable character can do it. When a healing spell is not aimed to a specific body part it will heal all it can but not as efficiently.Though, I started another game on the 1.05B version, I may check if it was fixed. AS for the link to that version, I don't remember where I got it, but I believe it was by searching on this forum.

Re: Playing Entombed
Re: Playing Entombed @Chris, the unlock combination for the druid is ranger and healer together, and for the adventurer as thief and wanderer. Adventurer's are pretty dam useless owing to locate secrets being really not much good without pick locks, and even with pick locks unlikely to find you something helpful, but druids are absolutely awesome! Druid necro is a really great combination particularly because lightning is a great offensive spell that hits multiple targets, and it's one drawback, that if it hits a corpse it creates a zombie is easily negated by playing a necro and using a targeted banish undead (or for that matter a targeted iceblast), on the zombie's head.I've finished the game with a necro druid in the party several times, indeed probably the easiest time i ever had was when playing an elf necro druid, a gnome healer necro and a half elf necro druid (I got very lucky with my rescued companions that time).The ratkin race is intended as a major challenge with their morphing into giant rats. The only miner problem i had is that like the shaman's phase form ability, there was a really annoying bug that when polymorphing between different creatures all of a character's stats got set back to racial defaults. this was fixed in the latest beta, the one that required weerd components, but not in the last stable main version, which is a shame since it makes ratkin a real pest to play.

Re: Playing Entombed
Re: Playing Entombed Oh, I didn't realize the ranger was in the demo version. If so you can unlock the druid by playing a ranger/healer, and the druid is a really awesome magic job. As to job combinations, as I said, it is likely that the reason your not doing damage if your combining magic and technique based jobs is that your characters development is all around weaker, a fighter/thief will be developing their physical stats twice as much as a fighter/mage, and so far worse at attacks. This might also explain why your running out of mana to cast spells, since the amount of mana you get each level depends upon your intelligence, and once again, a mage/healer or a necro/mage will be getting twice as much intelligence as a fighter/mage, not to mention that with lower intelligence their spells will be doing consequently less damage. As I said for a very easy combination, try a necro healer, or if you have the ranger and can unlock it, a necro druid. For a technique based job, try a fighter/thief, since assassin is not available in the demo version.Hth.

Re: Playing Entombed Hmmm. That could be it, though only partially. I've never thought about it from the view point of how it would affect character development, but thought that a fighting ranger made more sense than a fighting mage. Both the fighter and the ranger have overlapping fighting skills, if I develop those skills, both jobs benefit. But a fighter and a mage have very little in common skills, so developing one neglects the other.I could be wring, twilight town might be between levels 3 and 4, but I know for certain that it does not show so early as between levels 2 and 3. Either way, once it's available to me, I take full advantage of it.Whoever it was that said, spells are free, so cast like crazy, is wrong. Spells cost what I think are called spirit points, when you run out of them, you can't cast any more spells, until you've rested a while to recover them. Kind of like hit points, except that you don't die when you get down to zero.

Re: Playing Entombed
Re: Playing Entombed @razvitasca, The observe skill can be used on three different enemies in the game to gain their skills, which can be quite useful. Beware! spoilage ahoy! Using observe on a dungeon creep when they use subdevide will get you the subdivide skill, effectively giving you a clone of your original character who fights as another companion (it's pretty useful actually). Using oobserve on the drake when it uses breathe fire will get you the breathe fire skill (I believe you need three points in observe for this). that one is not as awesome since damage of the fire breath is based on character size, but grow your wanderer and wooo nelly! finally, using observe on calamity can get you the combine skill, (that one definitely needs an observe of three). That one is more a fun thing to play around with, combining your characters into one gigantic blob and smacking things. I think jason did plan more observatble skills later (it would 9;ve been awesome if the wanderer could learn the spider's web skill), but I don't think they made it into the game, but we'll see where Entombed ii goes with that.hth.

Re: Playing Entombed
Re: Playing Entombed Hmmm, this is odd. You don't mention going back to twilight town, which you should probably do before descending each floor to check out the general store and see if they have any good weapons and armour and scrolls around, though you do still find plenty in the dungeon.first I wonder about mixing magic and technique based jobs, since as I said that is a nono if you want decent progression and to do reasonable damage. So don't try a fighter mage or a healer thief or something like that. Necros aren't actually evil in Entombed land, (their description just says they have an unhealthy obsession with the dead), and they are one of the best jobs, but if your not willing to play one since you don't have access to other magic jobs in the demo like druid, you'll be limited to mage/healer and healer/mage as your magic types, which is a shame but it is what it is.

If you don't have access to assassin with their crytical hits skill, thief is a good bet since sneak attack is a great move for offense and dodge can come in handy.

As I said, ignore armour skills and only use weapon skills if your A, sure your going to be physically attacking with that character most of th e time, and B, know you have a weapon of that type, --- oh and speaking of weapons, don't use ranged weapons at all, they're pathetic, (it's a shame, the ranger class in the full version has some great skills, but actually being able to damage anything with arrows is near impossible when you get to enemies with hard skins lower down in the dungeon).if you remind me which jobs are available in the demo i might have some more specific advice. As I said, your trouble is somewhat perplexing me here, but hopefully we can find what the issue is, since as I said entombed rocks!

Re: Playing Entombed
Re: Playing Entombed Hmmm, this is odd. You don't mention going back to twilight town, which you should probably do before descending each floor to check out the general store and see if they have any good weapons and armour and scrolls around, though you do still find plenty in the dungeon.first I wonder about mixing magic and technique based jobs, since as I said that is a nono if you want decent progression and to do reasonable damage.

Re: Playing Entombed As far as I can tell, I do all of that already. Except for avoiding using races and jobs in my party that are traditionally considered evil, like trolls and necromancers.I do not leave the site of a battle until:* everyone is fully rested, and healed if resting isn't enough. * Every body is searched and all weapons and armor are compared to be sure everyone is as well equipped as the inventory allows.* Any skill points earned are allocated and savedI do not leave a level until: pressing the key to find the nearest unexplored area tells me the entire level has been exploredDuring battle:* Fighting attacks are not directed, too often aiming for a specific part of an enemy's body results in a miss, where undirected attacks result in a hit more often.* Magic attacks are always directed because they seem to do more damage than an undirected attack.* I avoid using healing spells during battle unless a character looses a limb or is about to be killed from loss of hit points.* Everyone attacks the same enemy until it is dead. I focus on magic users first since they seem to do more damage, they work on the fighters. And of the magic users, if one is present, I target necromancers first. I always save:* right after a successful battle,and right after post battle resting, healing, equipping, and leveling up.* just before going through a door, or going down stairs to the next level.Assuming you all are right, and I believe you are, there's still something missing. I believe you aren't mentioning it because it is second nature to you, you don't think about it while playing, you just do it.

Re: Playing Entombed
Re: Playing Entombed Well as far as the handbook goes, I have most complete but need to add sections for about half of the jobs, plus some extra lists and info, so would prefer to play the game a bit more before passing it on. There is however an entombed googlegroups mailing list where there are lots of dedicated players who are good for advice.As to thoughts I'll give a few fairly crytical things which have tripped up people in the past: , first, make sure to constantly rest after each battle and only use healing potions when needed. Second, make sure to keep equipping as much as possible and always use compare if your not sure something is better. Do not mix magic and technique based jobs. If someone starts with a magic job, give them a second magic job, visa versa with technique ones, since both their progressing stats as they level and how many spellpoints and technique ponits they get will depend upon both jobs (especially their first). If your using a magic based job such as a mage or necro, use magic as often as humanly possible, indeed with a necro you should be iceblasting every turn unless your doing something specific like summon bones, with a mage use fireballs unless your shrikning your opponents and growing your physical characters (including your wolf, on the early floors a grown wolf can be great for keeping enemies on the ground). In some rpgs you have to conserve mana and use spells sparingly, in entombed you can just pump away, since you won't run out.Hit the r key after each and every single fight so you start as maxed out as possible, and only use healing potions and spells in long battles or for things like limb reattachment. Unless a character has a technique based job, don't bother with normal attacks at all, also when distributing skillpoints I'd recommend prioritising one or two things that make whatever your standard attack more efficient, eg, for a fighter raise double atta ck and duel wield, though note that defensive attacks like sneak attack that can protect you from incoming fire are hugely useful so you should think about putting points into them. when attacking physically, it's wiser not to use direct targeting at the head or torso since your likely to miss those (especially the head), however leg shots can be useful, though going for a general attack is the most certain way to get a hit in.When using magic however, since magic always hits, there's no reason not to go for the head each and every time since you'll do damage whatever and on the occasions you hit the head it's a bonus (the necro iceblast one shot to the head is almost like a single hit slugfest for much of the game).When attacking, concentrate on one enemy first, since the quicker you can put an enemy out of action, the fewer enemies attacking you and the less your party gets hit, indeed sometimes it's better to target a weaker enemy to s top them attacking you while you whittle down the stronger enemy if you can kill the weaker enemy in one shot. Always go for enemy necromancers first off, since if you kill another enemy first the necro will summon their bones as a skeleton against you.Hope some of this helps. As I said i do wonder if your doing something fairly basic wrong, since while entombed isn't an easy game, it's by no means impossible and you haven't really got to some of the major trouble spots as yet, so something is likely going wonky somewhere, and since entombed is an extremely awesome game that has had a huge amount of work put into it's development it would be sad if you missed out on things due to an oversite somewhere.

Re: Playing Entombed Blaming me for my problems with the game is similarly pointless, as I said in a previous message, I've played and beaten plenty of RPGs before, so it's not that I don't know how to play them or lack experience. So unless there's some special trick that I haven't yet discovered, I doubt the way I play the game is the problem. Especially when you consider that I have no real problems with the first four levels.Level five? It could be level six, I'm not really sure, it's been many months since I last played and some details are foggy.There are times, such as when a limb gets cut off, where resting alone will not completely heal the character, for those cases you have to use a healing potion or scroll to reattach the limb, then you can use resting to finish the healing.Yes, I know about needing to save the skill point assignments, and I do save them.With everyone's insistence that it's not the game, a ll I can conclude is that there is some special trick or method of play that I'm not getting, and with that in mind, I don't see that there is any real point to continuing to play this game.I also believe, that such special tricks or methods shouldn't be necessary to win, that they apparently are is proof, in my mind, that the game is unbalanced or flawed.

Re: Playing Entombed
Re: Playing Entombed Hello,I have to agree with Dark. While the game does have some bugs and balancing issues, it is certainly playable. You can avoid the goblin king by choosing the old mine works when going to floor 5. When you accept quests, try to avoid ones with 3 named enemies. I believe if it says is creating an unstoppable force means that all enemies will be named which can be very tricky. You may also want to pay attention to the messages that say you think this quest could be dangerous or very dangerous. Those refer to the level of the enemies. Try accepting quests that give the dangerous or no message at all. Remember that you can load your game and check the tavern for a different set of quests. The game will randomly choose quests upon every load f your save. You really shouldn't be having issues until the Drake on the 7th floor. My best advice for that is to simply skip it if you can and go down. The drake should be on floor 15 IMHO. I don't know why Jason thought putti ng that kind of boss on a low level was a good idea. Speaking of Jason, what's happened to him? I know he was talking about Entombed 2 last year, but he seems to have gone silent once again.

Re: Playing Entombed
Re: Playing Entombed I'm afraid I really don't know what your talking about, since however myself and many other people don't have problems with the game and you do, I don't think it is the game that is the problem here and just repeating "it's unbalanced, it is all the game's fault" won't help much. Just to pick another suggestion, you mention "healing after every battle" Resting with the r key restores all hitpoints, and since the only penalty for resting in the game is that you might be attacked and end up in another fight against generic enemies, there's no reason not to do it after every battle. healing potions are mostly needed to keep your party fighting within battles, ditto with the healer's magic. Another thing, I wonder if your remembeirng to save your skillpoint changes after alocating, since monsters on the fifth floor really shouldn't be killing off your party. for a sure fire way of wi nning a lot of fights, try playing an elf necromancer, give them a secondary job like healer or mage but put lots of points into iceblast. use summon bones on whatever corpse looks strong to get a free ally, and that should give you a good chance of a strong character. As I said I really can't fathom why your having so much trouble, but perhaps it would be more productive to actually try and investigate why! and consider how you yourself might improve your stratogy than constantly complain about the game being unfare, heck I had to recently do this myself with manamon and am glad I did.

Re: Playing Entombed I am very methodical when playing, I don't go down to the next level until all the monsters have been beaten and every part of the current level has been explored. Only when I have done all there is to do on the current level do I go down to the next level.While some battles are just going through the motions, most battles require some thought and planning to win. Then when the battle is over, rest and maybe some healing is usually needed before wandering off to find the next group of enemies. As I get closer to the goblin king, the battles get harder and rest is no longer enough, some characters will require healing, and sometimes a character has to be resurrected. So even before I meet the goblin king the monsters are beginning to become stronger faster than my party.While you and others may have found a way around this problem to beat the game, I have played enough RPGs to recognize an unbalanced game when I see it. And unless I'm missing something, whic h I doubt, Entombed is unbalanced. You've simply found a way to beat the game despite it's flaws. If my Windows or computer has any effect at all on the game, it would be how stable it is, or how smoothly it runs, but it would have no effect on the game's difficulty level, unless the author decided to intentionally target users of certain types or brands of hardware with a much more difficult version of the game.

Re: Playing Entombed
Re: Playing Entombed I really don't understand your problem, and think something must be going wrong somewhere with your equipment or stratogy, since really the goblin king is only hard if you have an inherently weak character party.If the game was that! unbalanced, nobody would've ever bought it at all. Oh, and the full and demo versions have exactly the same content for the first eight floors, accept that roughly half the jobs and races are restricted in the demo, so the full version wouldn't help your issue.

Re: Playing Entombed You are right, it was the goblin king, but you can't avoid him, if you want to go to the next level you must go through his camp because it's always just in front of the stairway going down. I don't recall ever encountering a stone guardian, even though I've explored everything I could without entering the goblin king's camp.After my first experience with them, I don't do quests, or at least I won't do them until I'm reasonably confident that I'm strong enough to have a reasonable chance of succeeding.It's possible things are different in the full version than they are in the trial, but I'm not spending $40 just to find out that I get stuck in the same place in the full version, that I'm getting stuck in the trial.I will more than likely try again, but if my results are still the same as they have been, I'm writing off the game as to unbalanced, and won't touch it again until there's a major new version.Entombed 2.0?

Re: Playing Entombed
Re: Playing Entombed Well front/back ranking will occur in entombed ii I think so that balance will be fixed. As to entombed though, while it is true there are two different racial groups and they won't mix, thus if you play an ogre you'll never rescue an elf, the same is not true for jobs. Necromancers aren't inherently evil in Entombed world, or at least that's not the impression I get, indeed in Entombed remember that whatever your character and their friends did to wind up in the dungeon was some sort of crime even if they were a paladin, and necro is one of the best in the game. As to that fight, it sounds like your getting stuck on the goblin king, although bare in mind you have a choice not to fight him, you can try the stone guardian instead. also, remember that he always occurs in a room, so avoid going through doors if you think he's in there.As to the goblin king himself there are various ways of dealing with him. first, take out his suppo rt, especially his necromancer since the necromancer can raise him as a skeleton. As previously said,try anything to put the king out of action, sneak attacks to move your characters out of the firing line, putting him to sleep etc. to be honest though i think something must be off in your preparation. The only time the goblin king is really a major hassle is when your saddled with something like a fairy, and even then only if he decides to attack the fairy and gets in a lucky hit, most of the time so long as you concentrate your attacks to down your opponents as quickly as possible the fight shouldn't be difficult, indeed the goblin king pales in comparison to some fights later on (ogmok the troll is a right pest!).

Re: Playing Entombed I understand about races and their strengths and weaknesses and try to match them with jobs that fit, for example, a troll that's a fighter, or a elf that's a mage.One thing I've noticed, there are races and jobs that can be said to be on the side of good, and other races and jobs that are on the evil side. Nercromancers, for example are said to be evil because they practice black magic. When choosing races and jobs I always steer more towards race and jobs on the good side. It's just a preference.I pick up every item I find and can loot. If I'm carrying too much so that I can't pick any more, I back track to the stairway to the previous level and drop a bunch of stuff there, that way the stuff will be easy to find. I cash in everything I don't need in the twilight village, but I always keep some of the best armor and weapons so I equip anyone who joins my party.While fighting, everyone participates, if a member can't at tack, they defend, and if can't participate directly in the combat, they participate with helping others, for magic users this might be a shield or healing spell. And as a last resort, they defend themselves.It's been a long time since I last played it so my memory is rather vague. Where I always get stuck is in the lair of some king that is blocking your way to a stairway to the next level on level five or six.I'm not new to RPGs, back in the 80s, I played Dungeons & Dragons with some friends every Saturday night for several years. I also played and finished Wizardry, a massive RPG game for the Apple 2, and later for the IBM PC. More recently I played and finished the first of the Witcher series. RPGs aren't my first choice for games to play but I do enjoy them,.Darks, remarks about front to back ranking is well taken, it was a factor in the D games I played with my friends, and in Wizardry, the marching order of you party of six i s also a factor in combat, only the first three party members are subject to physical combat, while magic users could attack anyone. So I had fighters in from and magic users in back. Since Entombed doesn't use front to back ranking, I just imagine that when in combat all your party members stand shoulder to shoulder.

If I'm carrying too much so that I can't pick any more, I back track to the stairway to the previous level and drop a bunch of stuff there, that way the stuff will be easy to find. I cash in everything I don't need in the twilight village, but I always keep some of the best armor and weapons so I equip anyone who joins my party.While fighting, everyone participates, if a member can't at tack, they defend, and if can't participate directly in the combat, they participate with helping others, for magic users this might be a shield or healing spell. And as a last resort, they defend themselves.It's been a long time since I last played it so my memory is rather vague. Where I always get stuck is in the lair of some king that is blocking your way to a stairway to the next level on level five or six.I'm not new to RPGs, back in the 80s, I played Dungeons & Dragons with some friends every Saturday night for several years. I also played and finished Wizardry, a massive RPG game for the Apple 2, and later for the IBM PC. More recently I played and finished the first of the Witcher series. RPGs aren't my first choice for games to play but I do enjoy them,.

Re: Playing Entombed
Re: Playing Entombed sorry about forgetting demo limitations. When I bought the game many classes like brawler, monk, bard and druid didn't exist so I'm not sure what is currently in the demo.the balance between technique based and magic based jobs is a serious one, also the fact that when anyone in your party is equally likely to be hit, armour skills are a little pointless, since if your big tough fighter is just as likely to be the target of enemy attacks as your robe wearing spellcaster, then your better off concentrating on your fighter's offensive skills to drop enemies as fast as possible. This is one reason people really want to see a front/back rank system in Entombed ii, indeed it's been one of the major suggestions for the first game to equalize the classes a bit and make the game less all about attack.I will say though in entombed, all races and classes were never! intended to be equal. Some of them just have a harder time because they're weaker, and that's just how it is, and you get score boosts for finishing with them. To make it through with a kobold or a fairy is just intended as a challenge to your stratogy. speaking of stratogy, another thing that occurs to me is to remember that all items are different. You could find two poor copper short swords, but one will be better than the other, thus it's always wise to use that c key to compare items as often as possible. another strategic point that occurs to me, is to remember that using techniques comes with a cool down timer. Your fighter/thief might do awesome damage with a flurry sneak attack, but they won't be able to go for a while, indeed for fighters I'd personally recommend concentrating on skills that let them attack harder and more often, skills like duel wield and double attack, and if your deciding to put points into it, a weapon skill (short swords is usually a good bet since there are lots of swords in the dungeon).Oh and spoiler spoiler! You should find the goblin card somewhere along the line which will unlock the goblin race, and the crystal card which will unlock the fortune teller (usually for defeating the stone guardian). however two important unlockables is that playing a ranger/healer unlocks the druid and playing thief/wanderer unlocks the adventurer. the druid particularly is a very awesome class indeed, possibly as useful as necromancer.Hth.

Re: Playing Entombed I globally agree about what was said abov. The only thing lacking in this game is the diversity of the playable evil races. What I wish was made is that you could unlock a new race each time you finish the game, so at some point you could unlock the more powerful races in the game (half-giant, troll, satyr...). The game could also be more balanced on some specific points but it's not tough to the point of being impossible to finish, iI finished it at least four times myself.

Re: Playing Entombed
Re: Playing Entombed Well Figment bare in mind myself and many other people have finished the game, and while Entombed is meant to make you think it's not impossible so something must be going wrong somewhere. Here are some thoughts and general observations. first, how are you choosing jobs? one of the main problems in entombed which people do not realize is that how your stats progress depends upon what jobs you choose as well as your race. There are roughly two sorts of jobs, ability based (usually combat like), and magic based jobs, and mixing the two is a very bad idea, since a fighter/mage will progress half as badly as say a fighter thief or a mage/necromancer. some of the easiest job choices include assassin, necromancer (necromancer is probably the easiest in the game), druid and if it's played right, bard and monk, though i forget which jobs are available in the demo, (I know bard isn't but I can't remember whether necromancer is or not).Magic attacks will always hit, so take advantage of this, this is one thing that can make magical offence deadly, indeed necromancer doing one shot iceblast to the head makes the game a slug fest, speaking of which, attacks of course can be targeted, which is doubly useful with magic because magic attacks, even if they miss their targeted limb or head will still hit the enemy where as physical attacks won't. Don't waste points on weapon skills unless you can be certain to have a good quality version of that weapon, concentrate on skills like duel wield, and the assassin's crytical hit. the most important rule in entombed however, is that the most crucial tactics are those that stop the enemy from attacking you. These include the sneak attacks of both the assassin and thief which are great in offense and defence, the brawler's takedown ability, (I once won one very tough fight with a hyped up boss by keeping it on it's rear end), and the sleep abilities of the bard or trickster. Always make use of turns, indeed if you have a spare character who can't do anything immediately to the eny have them use healing potions, though you shouldn't theoretically have need of those until some of the really! tough fights. also, as you have been doing keep on exploring each level and occasionally going back to twilight town. I suspect those tough fights you run into are with quest monsters. Quest monsters are always! a bit tougher than normal, since you get rewarded for defeating them, but nobody says you have to take a quest at a given time and if your party doesn't have a fairly strong way around that might be why not. these are some general rules, as I said, I'm not precisely sure what's going wrong in your game, but certainly you shouldn't have too much trouble. there is! a hard boss on level 8 just before the demo ends, (hard but not impossible), however up until that poin t you should be mostly okay if you can play tactically.Btw, methinks I really ought to complete the entombed player's handbook I was working on, which has a lot of this sort of info in it, it's just missing a good few sections on jobs and some final thoughts like a list of scrolls and potions.

Playing Entombed

Playing Entombed I've pretty much given up on Entombed. The monsters always become too powerful to kill in five or six levels. And I've tried at least a dozen times. At this point all I can say is that I'm glad I decided to hold off paying for the game until I could beat all the levels in the trial.I take advantage of every chance to improve my characters with skill points when they are available, and better weapons when ever I find them, especially after a battle, I loot all the bodies of everything they have. I continue to explorer each level and battle the monsters I find until I'm told that the entire level has been explored. Only then do I move on to the next level. Yet, every time I play, I run into some lair or camp of monsters that must be defeated to continue playing and they are always too powerful. All of my characters in my party are dead, long before I've done enough damage to even come close to killing just one of them.As I see it, the balance o f this game is heavily skewed in favor of the monsters. At $40, you'd think the game would be better balanced. As it is now, it's more frustrating than challenging, and I refuse to pay for such a game.I play games to be challenged and for entertainment. I do not call being frustrated every time I play the game, challenging or entertaining.
