Re: [Audyssey] Need help fighting the Drake.
Hello, spoilers Take them out one elemental at a time. Focus all of your attack power on the most damaging one first. Remember what powers each elemental has. Which two elementals have area effect spell attacks? If you have any mages, which magical attacks are more effective against which elements? This really is a strategy game. Hints Air casts lightning and is quite resistent to lightning but is susseptible to ice. Water casts surge and is susseptible to lightning. The other two elements cast individual attacks. If you are using just massive fighter types, I cannot help so much as I tend to look for magical strategies and don't do so well with just fighter type characters.

Re: [Audyssey] Need help fighting the Drake.
Hi Bryan, Yeah, that is pretty much what I've discovered myself. My first few games I didn't find any scrolls, and the couple I did find couldn't be identified in the shop or with an identify scroll. So I had no idea if they were useful or not. However, in my current game I'm loaded with useful scrolls. I found a pack of five identify scrolls on the first floor which I used on several unidentified scrolls which turned out to be a curse scroll, a level 4 shrink scroll, a regeneration scroll, and I got a level 1 fire bolt scroll from the shop. So this time I've certainly found a lot more then the previous games. It appears to be a completely random hit or miss thing like you said. Plus as for the Drake blocking the stairs that was the case in my first game I found him. I explored the entire level, and the only place left to go was down, but the Drake was sitting right there on the steps leading down. So basically in a case like that I was screwed. Couldn't beat him, couldn't continue, and just passing him up wasn't an option. However, in this new game I'm doing much better. Except for the bug that won't allow me to pick anything up. I've had to leave behind quite a bit of weapons and armour because the game won't let me take it. It acts like it isn't there. So I'm pretty frustrated with that mishap. That's never happened before. Otherwise I'm really holding my own against enemies. I just easily faught my way through the Goblin King and his gang of chronies. Now, if I could just get his weapons and armour I'm more than willing to give the Drake another try. On 3/1/10, Bryan Peterson bpeterson2...@cableone.net wrote: Oh no, you can find them in the demo, but it's extremely hit and miss. That sort of thing is why I remain firmly convinced that defeating the Drake at least, even if not the other bosses, is based far more on luck than on skill. There's absolutely no guarantee that you'll find any of the more useful scrolls before you get to the Drake, and if you don't have a Mage to shrink him, which in any case doesn't always work, you could be screwed since there's really no way to protect against the Drake's attacks. It's perfectly possible for him to one-shot you with his physical attacks if he happens to hit your torso or head, which I've noticed he does more often than not. And if you get really unlucky and he's blocking the stairs you're basically out of luck. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Need help fighting the Drake.
Hi David, Very interesting info. That's pretty impressive that certain spell attacks do more damage to certain elementals than others. I'll definitely keep that in mind when I begin encountering them again. However, most of my characters this game are the massive fighter types.

Re: [Audyssey] Need help fighting the Drake.
Hi, Yeah, I'm beginning to find that out myself. To be honest when I began playing Entombed I treated it in much the same way I'd play any other RPG type game such as Sryth. I'd try and give my character as many skills as possible, and not focus on any specific skill/power. Only problem is that kind of thinking is exactly what will get you killed. However, in my latest game I decided to focus my skill points on specific skills. Especially, those that have always came in handy. Like I have a half-elf mage necro who has ice blast trained up to level 5. In most cases he can kill most enemies with one attack. A direct attack to the Goblin King's head drops him stone dead in a single attack. So with the right skills/powers ttrained up right those are the key to winning for sure. As for the Goblin King's so-called guards you are right. If you have a special attack those guys go down pretty easy. in my last game I used a confusion scroll to screw up the King, and unleashed my forces on direct attacks on the guards. They all dropped like flies, and then we ganged up and took out the King. Was really quite fun and interesting to watch the Goblin King when he was both confused while my characters leveled him with ice blasts direct to the head. Needless to say he didn't put up much of a defence. Lol! On 3/1/10, dark d...@xgam.org wrote: people will probably kill me for saying so, but I've found this a surprisingly easy battle.

This is of course, just the stratogy I use, and there may be other ways, sinse the game is a complex one, but where as normally I'd try and be even handed with skills in an rpg game, in entombed I've found it really doesn't pay, and specialization is the key to winning.

Re: [Audyssey] Need help fighting the Drake.
Hi, No kidding. Some of those skeletons are tough to kill, and take a serious beating and keep coming. I've even got one of those on my team. I encountered this one goblin fighter on level 4 whom I killed with an ice blast. I then rezerected him, gave him some cloth armour, a decent pair of short swords, gave him an enchanted pair of wool leggings, and he became an awesome fighter. Usually when he goes into combat he doesn't walk away from the fight without lopping off a hand, foot, arm, or leg. Sometimes he goes into flurry and kills goblin fighters outright in one single worlwind attack. He is like totally cool. So it is certainly useful to have a trained skeleton warrior on your side. Since I have a Necro myself I always attack the enemy Necros to keep the enemy from trying to even up the odds. Definitely don't want any more nasties to fight than I absolutely have too.

Re: [Audyssey] Need help fighting the Drake.
Glad things are working out tom. As I said, I'd generally agree on being even handed with skills, in fact in muds or online games I rather dislike my character being limited in what he/she can do depending upon skills, so try and have as wide an array as possible. Entombed though is a different game with a different focus. Not only do you have effectively six sets of skills to choose from, thus making it possible to have a number of characters with specific rolls, but also the game, rather than being a long online affair that goes on forever, is a replayable rpg where you can try different combinations and skill sets and see what works best. Imho this is one of the games' major strengths, so much choice to the player in terms of how to handle the game, which contributes to it's replayability as much as the random generation of dungeons and enemies do.

Hi, Yeah, I'm beginning to find that out myself. To be honest when I began playing Entombed I treated it in much the same way I'd play any other RPG type game such as Sryth. I'd try and give my character as many skills as possible, and not focus on any specific skill/power. Only problem is that kind of thinking is exactly what will get you killed. However, in my latest game I decided to focus my skill points on specific skills. Especially, those that have always came in handy. Like I have a half-elf mage necro who has ice blast trained up to level 5. In most cases he can kill most enemies with one attack. A direct attack to the Goblin King's head drops him stone dead in a single attack. So with the right skills/powers ttrained up right those are the key to winning for sure. As for the Goblin King's so-called guards you are right. If you have a special attack those guys go down pretty easy. in my last game I used a confusion scroll to screw up the King, and unleashed my forces on direct attacks on the guards. They all dropped like flies, and then we ganged up and took out the King. Was really quite fun and interesting to watch the Goblin King when he was both confused while my characters leveled him with ice blasts direct to the head. Needless to say he didn't put up much of a defence. Lol! --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Need help fighting the Drake.
The thing with skeletons, and to an extent zombies, is that they can't be killed by simply mangling body parts or chopping heads off, you need to stringently hack every piece of them up to despose of them. On the pluss side though, those bones are very brital, and easily damamged. skeletal fighters therefore are very vulnerable to having their hands mangled or chopped off, and skeletal animals can have their skuls mangled, which wrenders them harmless and unable to attack. hth.

The Gobblin King is one reason I like to have a Mage in my party for the Shrink spell, which you should be able to max out quite easily by the time you get there. Since the Gobblin King generally inflicts the most damage it's a good idea to shrink him or even Charm him if you happen to have that ability. I wouldn't take him out first if only because of the Necromancer. One common strategy when dealing with a party that includes a Necromancer is to take out the Necro first since then he can't resurrect anybody. The skeletons often do at least as much damage as they did in life and they can take much more of a beating.

Hi Dark, Well, I do appreciate the game, and the scope of complexity. However, I am very frustrated with the fact that I can't get my questions answered or clarified by reading the documentation. I'm of an old school opinion that if you sell something you must provide the end user with quality documentation, and give them an overview of all of the game's features. For this reason I feel as though Jason rushed Entombed to final production without completing the documentation and there are still bugs that could be fixed. I've had the game crash three or four times while playing that certainly wasn't cool. However, I am glad Jason is aware of the problem, and has plans to work on the documentation. It is something I feel is needed, especially for a new user like me, and hope he is willing to go into some detail. I'd like to see the advantages and disadvantages of certain races and jobs. I'd like to see a weapons list of what kind of weapons are in the game, quality, and what certain scrolls do. I didn't use certain scrolls simply because I didn't know what they were suppose to do, or when to use them. It is kind of confusing having say a level 4 focus scroll in your inventory and having no clue what it does, when to use it, and so on. Not knowing how to use it is pretty much the same as not having it in my book. Anyway, I'm admitedly in something of a crabby mood. I actually do love the game, but I'd like to know how to play it. I'm tired of making it to say the Goblin King and having my entire party completely whiped out in a couple of combat turns against the Goblin King. I like the challenge, but it would be nice to have an idea how to play so that doesn't happen. Yeah, maybe loose one or two people, but to have my entire party chopped up like roast beaf is not too cool at all.I just feel at times like that I am not a good player, or that I'm lacking some vital information

Re: [Audyssey] Need help fighting the Drake.
Hi I'd just ensure that it's the latest release of Entombed. Currently version 1. I've only played a bit using JFW 9 and it seems to work well. Perhaps it's the entombed saved games option that's causing your trouble.

Re: [Audyssey] Need help fighting the Drake.
While I agree challenge can be taken too far, technoshock (and possibly night of parasite), being a case in point, I personally don't agree entombed steps over this boundry. I believe there have been times the beta version has, such as when due to a misjudgement you started minus a pet, and when, in I believe beta 2.41 or so, the drake first got fire breath and was resistance to just about everything. However, I'd say the difficulty is about right now. hard enough to be challenging, but not hard enough to be frustrating. Obviously this is both highly personali and dependent upon the skills of the gamer, I freely admit for instance I'm terrible at racing games, and I've never got beyond mission 5 of lone wolf (possibly due to my spacial coordination). But going on average, as any developer must I'd say Jason has entombed currently balanced about right. of course if more features and other things are added the balance pendulum will probably swing again, eg, an uba character job or race, or a super nasty monster. but hopefully reports and opinions from the entombed list can help keep the balance where it needs to be even with these additions.

Re: [Audyssey] Need help fighting the Drake.
Well, I downloaded entombed just a couple days ago. So, unless there has been a more recent release I am pretty sure I am up to date. And I did delete the saved games and reinstalled but still no luck. I am using jaws 10. Thanks for the suggestions though.

Re: [Audyssey] Need help fighting the Drake.
Hi, As it has been said before, make sure that you have the latest build, version 1.00, installed. If you do, here are some suggestions: 1. When the game starts, press alt J to make jaws as the preferred speech engine. 2. Go to change preferences. 3. Change anything there and save your preferences. When your preferences are saved, it should say so and take you bakc to the main menu. This should fix your problem and jaws should be the default speech when the game is started. If this does not work, go into your documents folder and find the saved games folder. Go two folders in. You should find about 8 files there. Find the Entombed.dat file and delete it. Then go into the game again. SAPI will be your speech at this time. Then follow the instructions above. Any other problems, just write. HTH.

Re: [Audyssey] Need help fighting the Drake.
Ok, so I tried these suggestions and I still haven't had any luck. As I said, i downloaded this just a few days ago so I assume it is up to date though I am unsure on how to check that. I pressed alt j and when I do that I have no speech at all. I can up and down arrow and I will hear beeping but no speech. I then press alt s and sapi speech comes in loud and clear. I have tried changing it in preferences but have the same problem. I went into the saved games folder and tried deleting the preferences.dat but when i went back to the game and tried setting jaws it still refused to cooperate. I did not see an entombed.dat file but I did try deleting the saved games folder entirely and still no luck. Leave it to jaws to be difficult. lol Or at least jaws on my computer anyway.

The Gobblin King is one reason I like to have a Mage in my party for the Shrink spell, which you should be able to max out quite easily by the time you get there. Since the Gobblin King generally inflicts the most damage it's a good idea to shrink him or even Charm him if you happen to have that ability. I wouldn't take him out first if only because of the Necromancer. One common strategy when dealing with a party that includes a Necromancer is to take out the Necro first since then he can't resurrect anybody. The skeletons often do at least as much damage as they did in life and they can take much more of a beating. I'd take out the Necro first and then try to focus on the king since he generally causes the most damage. Homer: Hey, uh, could you go across the street and get me a slice of pizza? Vender: No pizza.

Hi Dark, Well, I do appreciate the game, and the scope of complexity. However, I am very frustrated with the fact that I can't get my questions answered or clarified by reading the documentation. I'm of an old school opinion that if you sell something you must provide the end user with quality documentation, and give them an overview of all of the game's features. For this reason I feel as though Jason rushed Entombed to final production without completing the documentation and there are still bugs that could be fixed. I've had the game crash three or four times while playing that certainly wasn't cool. However, I am glad Jason is aware of the problem, and has plans to work on the documentation. It is something I feel is needed, especially for a new user like me, and hope he is willing to go into some detail. I'd like to see the advantages and disadvantages of certain races and jobs. I'd like to see a weapons list of what kind of weapons are in the game, quality, and what certain scrolls do. I didn't use certain scrolls simply because I didn't know what they were suppose to do, or when to use them. It is kind of confusing having say a level 4 focus scroll in your inventory and having no clue what it does, when to use it, and so on. Not knowing how to use it is pretty much the same as not having it in my book. Anyway, I'm admitedly in something of a crabby mood. I actually do love the game, but I'd like to know how to play it. I'm tired of making it to say the Goblin King and having my entire party completely whiped out in a couple of combat turns against the Goblin King. I like the challenge, but it would be nice to have an idea how to play so that doesn't happen. Yeah, maybe loose one or two people, but to have my entire party chopped up like roast beaf is not too cool at all.I just feel at times like that I am not a good player, or that I'm lacking some vital information that more experienced players such as yourself have. When I here players saying they kicked the Drake's butt, he is pretty easy, I'm feeling inaduquit to play the game.

On 2/27/10, Richard Sherman squir...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, Possible spoilers ahead, so read at your own risk. s p o i l e r s p a c e Most magic does not work on the drake. There are a couple that work really well. They are shrink, curse, and web. I think that slow also works on the drake. There are a couple others, but cannot remember exactly right off. Sure someone else will elaborate. The shrink is special in that the drake takes more damage, and dishes out less when shrunk. The shrink spell can be cast by mages, and found on certain scrolls. But it only lasts a short time, depending on the level of the spell. Or, make any of your party grow. Especially the fighters. They will do quite a bit of damage when all grown up. Curse is good in that the drake will receive maximum damage, while always dishing out minimum damage. This spell lasts for the entire length of the battle. The curse spell can only be cast from a scroll. The web can only be cast by a scroll. Unless you have a spider skeleton handy. it will make the drake immobile, and unable to move. This too is a limited time effect. Also, anything that strengthens your party is good. Enlighten, grow and haste come to mind. Ice blast also seems to do more damage than fire bolt. Don't waste flurry on the drake. Your fighter will then stand around too much afterwards. Target the head. You might hit the neck also. This is the most vulnerable spot on the drake. The only problem is that you have a slightly higher probability of missing. But if your fighter connects, it will definitely do some damage. Save before battling the drake. If all fails, restart the game and try again. Or, if possible, go past the drake and come back later when you have more hp per character, or more powerful and appropriate scrolls.

I can't get passed him no matter how many times I try. Basically, here is what I have to work with. Cassandra --- A human female fighter/necromancer equipt with a long sword and the best armour I could find for her. Alair --- a half-elf mail healer/Druid. He is armed with a blackwood staff and light armour/cloathing. Dara --- a female half-elf fighter/ranger with bronze armour, legendary long swords, duel wield at 5, flurry 5, and basically you don't want to mess with her because your likely to loose a head, arm, and basically get chopped up in the process. Lupercus -- My wolf companion. Undead skeleton orc fighter/mage. He is under Cassandra's control and was raised from the dead to help out in the battle. Summoned Animal --- any bat, wolf, or rat I can summon to the battle ground to fight the Drake. As you can see I've got what I thought was a good party. I can really kick the crap out of the Drake, but not enough to actually slay the dragon. When he hits me with a fire attack everyone takes heavy damage and most of my party members usually wind up dead with several limbs missing. In the last major fight Casssandra lost a leg, arm, and ended up dying after the Drake bit her head off, and then spit it out on the floor. Its like impossible to take him down without being malled or roasted to death.

Re: [Audyssey] Need help fighting the Drake.
Hi, Bite your tongue. I've only once made it to the Drake in tact, and in my current game a battle with the Goblin King widdled my party down to one character. And ironically not the strongest or best of my characters. She got lucky slaying the Goblin King because Cassandra softened him up enough that Dara could hit him in the head with a firebolt and kill him. However, I was pretty much dead in the water because Dara was missing an arm and a leg which meant she couldn't exactly move on and fight the Drake. The game certainly is not easy. I've had to restart several times, and I've never beaten the Drake at all. I'm usually malled long before i reach that point. Lol!

Re: [Audyssey] Need help fighting the Drake.
Hi Dark, Well, one of the problems is I'm not finding any scrolls like that here. I once found a curse scroll, and a shrink scroll but that is it. The general store in Twilight Town absolutely sucks. All I've ever seen there is poor and dubious quality weapons, and now and then a sspell scroll. Other than that it is basically a useless feature of the game. I wonder if my problem is that I'm playing the demo and Jason has intentionally removed certain weapons, scrolls, etc required to play the game effectively, or Jason is intentionally forcing you to find this stuff at random. If so I'm not having a lot of luck finding good equipment and scrolls to use against the Drake, or even against the Goblin King for that matter. In my last battle he almost single handedly whiped my party out. So to be completely honest here while I do like the game it isn't designed for a new player at all. I'm having extreme difficulty playing it, and I'm growing extremely frustrated with it. I would like to see the game be better balanced and some of these enemies made slightly easier. That's coming from someone who normally doesn't complain about a game being difficult, but I find Entombed insanely so. Perhaps someone could write a manual or strat guide that actually explains something in detail? One of the reasons I haven't purchased the game is I think Jason needs to provide some documentation for the game. I keep trying to look something up only to get the message that this or that is not available yet. Well, if he wants to sell the game Jason is going to have to write some detailed documentation or get someone who is a skilled player to write it. I'm growing sick and tired of not having a manual for the game. I'm of half a mind to write him personally and ask him to hurry up and write the manual so I have something to refer too.I should not have to ask the list how to target a body part, because the so-called documentation doesn't bother to mention it. Needless to say I'm a bit ticked off that I'm obviously missing a good portion of information because the documentation absolutely sucks. Frown On 2/28/10, dark d...@xgam.org wrote: Hi Tom. The important thing to remember about the drake is that he gets fewer attacks than you do. so, you need to make fewer count. Thus, shrinking him with a mage is always a good plan, as are using slow scrolls on him while using haste scrolls on yourself. Confusion scrolls also help sinse he'll be attacking himself some of the time, as do web and paralize scrolls for obvious reasons. Also, with a melee setup like the one you've got, your probably best off aiming at the drakes' abdomin or neck, sinse the drake can suffer manglement in either place with enough damage. Lastly, remember that for every technique you use there's a price, sinse every technique has a much longer cool down time than normal fight commands. Thus, doing a flurry or multishot should be thought about carefully, particularly if you combine it with something like sneak attack to do extra damage. Lastly, remember the importance of passive skills like duel ield and (for certain classes), crytical hits.

Hi Muhammed, Oh, I wish. My weapons only do between 3 to 5 damage to the Drake. Remember all I have is pretty much junk weapons I picked up around the game. Other than the armour and weapons you get from slaying the Goblin King the rest are just dubious rated crap that is common throughout the game. Seriously, I'd like to know where and how to get better weapons and armour. I know Twilight Town is useless. I've found better weapons and armour on the floor than the Town.

Re: [Audyssey] Need help fighting the Drake.
Hi Dark, Well, I do appreciate the game, and the scope of complexity. However, I am very frustrated with the fact that I can't get my questions answered or clarified by reading the documentation. I'm of an old school opinion that if you sell something you must provide the end user with quality documentation, and give them an overview of all of the game's features. For this reason I feel as though Jason rushed Entombed to final production without completing the documentation and there are still bugs that could be fixed. I've had the game crash three or four times while playing that certainly wasn't cool. However, I am glad Jason is aware of the problem, and has plans to work on the documentation. It is something I feel is needed, especially for a new user like me, and hope he is willing to go into some detail. I'd like to see the advantages and disadvantages of certain races and jobs. I'd like to see a weapons list of what kind of weapons are in the game, quality, and what certain scrolls do. I didn't use certain scrolls simply because I didn't know what they were suppose to do, or when to use them. It is kind of confusing having say a level 4 focus scroll in your inventory and having no clue what it does, when to use it, and so on. Not knowing how to use it is pretty much the same as not having it in my book. Anyway, I'm admitedly in something of a crabby mood. I actually do love the game, but I'd like to know how to play it. I'm tired of making it to say the Goblin King and having my entire party completely whiped out in a couple of combat turns against the Goblin King. I like the challenge, but it would be nice to have an idea how to play so that doesn't happen. Yeah, maybe loose one or two people, but to have my entire party chopped up like roast beaf is not too cool at all.I just feel at times like that I am not a good player, or that I'm lacking some vital information that more experienced players such as yourself have. When I here players saying they kicked the Drake's butt, he is pretty easy, I'm feeling inaduquit to play the game. Like I can't play the game right, and I'm probably making lots of stupid new player mistakes. Cheers! On 3/1/10, dark d...@xgam.org wrote: Hi Tom.

Well, there is in fact a list of conditions and spell effects in the docs which will tell you for instance, what focus scrolls do, see http://wiki.blind-games.com/wiki/doku.php?id=entombed-conditions for details. If Jason has missed certain scrolls out of the demo, that would explain difficulty of the drake battle, sinse many job combinations can only get through that battle thanks to a scroll or two to ease things along. I must admit I generally approve of the difficulty, sinse it's good to have an rpg where you actually need to think about stratogy, considder who is in your party, what the battle order is and how best to use each characters' techniques or magic during the game rather than hammering fight all the time and hoping for the best, which unfortunately seems to be what happens in many games. The down side to this, is that the system is more complex and indeed does take some getting used to, however, as you'll gather I'd say it's well worth it. Beware the grue!

Re: [Audyssey] Need help fighting the Drake.
Oh no, you can find them in the demo, but it's extremely hit and miss. That sort of thing is why I remain firmly convinced that defeating the Drake at least, even if not the other bosses, is based far more on luck than on skill. There's absolutely no guarantee that you'll find any of the more useful scrolls before you get to the Drake, and if you don't have a Mage to shrink him, which in any case doesn't always work, you could be screwed since there's really no way to protect against the Drake's attacks. It's perfectly possible for him to one-shot you with his physical attacks if he happens to hit your torso or head, which I've noticed he does more often than not. And if you get really unlucky and he's blocking the stairs you're basically out of luck. Homer: Hey, uh, could you go across the street and get me a slice of pizza? Vender: No pizza.

Thus, doing a flurry or multishot should be thought about carefully, particularly if you combine it with something like sneak attack to do extra damage.

Re: [Audyssey] Need help fighting the Drake.
The Gobblin King is one reason I like to have a Mage in my party for the Shrink spell, which you should be able to max out quite easily by the time you get there. Since the Gobblin King generally inflicts the most damage it's a good idea to shrink him or even Charm him if you happen to have that ability. I wouldn't take him out first if only because of the Necromancer. One common strategy when dealing with a party that includes a Necromancer is to take out the Necro first since then he can't resurrect anybody. The skeletons often do at least as much damage as they did in life and they can take much more of a beating. I'd take out the Necro first and then try to focus on the king since he generally causes the most damage. Homer: Hey, uh, could you go across the street and get me a slice of pizza? Vender: No pizza.

Re: [Audyssey] Need help fighting the Drake.
As I've said on the entombed list here Bryan, I'm afraid I don't agree on this point. Now that the drake is more vulnerable to magic from scrolls, any of a number, including confusion, slow, curse paralize or web will do, not to mention haste, empowerment, focus or enlightenment for your party (which all increase damage and accuracy). I don't think I've ever got to the drake without having one or other of these, often bought from the general store. Then, there is always shrink and knock down. In fact, the way I defeated the drake in 2.41, in possibly one of his nastiest encarnations was having an ogre brawler who alternated betwene bash, which meant the drake was spending half his turns standing up, and grapple (which admittedly is only possible either with an ogre, or with a shrunken drake).

Re: [Audyssey] Need help fighting the Drake.
Indeed Bryan, go for the necro first. usually, If I've got a necro on my own side I find iceblasts to the head do very well against the king, and can put him down very quickly, as can using chalm and then watching him chop up his comrades. Druids are also good sinse high level lightening can hit multiple targits, provided you stop using it when someone is down to prevent raising their corpse as a zombi, several lightning blasts can usually bring the king and his merry bnd to their knee to th point wher it's only necesry to knok afew more of them out. hm, your making me want to strt another run now myself ;D.

In fact, the way I defeated the drake in 2.41, in possibly one of his nastiest encarnations was having an ogre brawler who alternated betwene bash, which meant the drake was spending half his turns standing up, and grapple (which admittedly is only possible either with an ogre, or with a shrunken drake). This worked, allthough I lost all the rest of my party apart from my pet at the time, and the current drake is a great deal easier than at that point. Beware the grue!

Hi Thomas, As for the General Store in Twilight town it's the seme for me, and I have bought the game.

Re: [Audyssey] Need help fighting the Drake.
Yeah, but the king is the one who generally causes the most damage outright. The Necromancer is dangerous because he has Ice Blast and then the Summon Bones spell. I tend to take out the Necro first, then either the Trickster or Shaman or sometimes even the King himself. But I always take out the Necro first to make sure nobody else can get resurrected since skeletons, apart from often being able to inflict at least as much damage as they did in life, can take even more of a beating.

Re: [Audyssey] Need help fighting the Drake.
It seems to depend on which one starts the combination process. if Earthquake initiates it you can do some major damage with Ice Blast. But even if you defeat Catastrophy in combined form you still have to defeat each elemental. Luckily the damage inflicted to the Catastrophy form does carry over to the individuals. So if you can defeat Catastrophy chances are when he breaks up it won't take much to bring down the individuals. Homer: Hey, uh, could you go across the street and get me a slice of pizza?

Re: [Audyssey] Need help fighting the Drake.
Hi Tom. The important thing to remember about the drake is that he gets fewer attacks than you do. so, you need to make fewer count. Thus, shrinking him with a mage is always a good plan, as are using slow scrolls on him while using haste scrolls on yourself. Confusion scrolls also help sinse he'll be attacking himself some of the time, as do web and paralize scrolls for obvious reasons. Also, with a melee setup like the one you've got, your probably best off aiming at the drakes' abdomin or neck, sinse the drake can suffer manglement in either place with enough damage. Lastly, remember that for every technique you use there's a price, sinse every technique has a much longer cool down time than normal fight commands. Thus, doing a flurry or multishot should be thought about carefully, particularly if you combine it with something like sneak attack to do extra damage. Lastly, remember the importance of passive skills like duel ield and (for certain classes), crytical hits. I've defeated the drake at level 7 with various party setups, bu have always needed to use scrolls etc to tweak the odds. Hth. Beware the Grue!

Re: [Audyssey] Need help fighting the Drake.
Hi tom. Hold down the numbers either on the numbpad or row when launching an attack or spell. 1 for lower left side, 3 for lower right, 4 for upper left, 6 upper right, 5 for center of body and 8 for head and kneck. Be warned though, that targiting increases your chance to miss with melee attacks, and not everything can be targited, though can be very satisfying when your sending heads flying! It's also the best way of using the heal spell, by targiting it to a specific body part. - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward thomasward1...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Sunday, February 28, 2010 12:53 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Need help fighting the Drake. Hi Richard, that's some very valuable information. However, how exactly to you target a specific part of the body. Every time I play it seams like the game picks a body part at random. If there is a specific way to turn the random attack off and give me the choice of head, body, legs, hands, whatever please let me know. I've been wondering if there was a more inteligent way of targeting and directing my attacks to do the most damage and the most good against any enemy let alone the Drake. Thanks.

There are a couple that work really well. They are shrink, curse, and web. I think that slow also works on the drake. There are a couple others, but cannot remember exactly right off. Sure someone else will elaborate. The shrink is special in that the drake takes more damage, and dishes out less when shrunk. The shrink spell can be cast by mages, and found on certain scrolls. But it only lasts a short time, depending on the level of the spell. Or, make any of your party grow. Especially the fighters. They will do quite a bit of damage when all grown up. Curse is good in that the drake will receive maximum damage, while always dishing out minimum damage. This spell lasts for the entire length of the battle. The curse spell can only be cast from a scroll. The web can only be cast by a scroll. Unless you have a spider skeleton handy. it will make the drake immobile, and unable to move. This too is a limited time effect. Also, anything that strengthens your party is good. Enlighten, grow and haste come to mind. Ice blast also seems to do more damage than fire bolt. Don't waste flurry on the drake. Your fighter will then stand around too much afterwards. Target the head. You might hit the neck also. This is the most vulnerable spot on the drake. The only problem is that you have a slightly higher probability of missing. But if your fighter connects, it will definitely do some damage. Save before battling the drake. If all fails, restart the game and try again. Or, if possible, go past the drake and come back later when you have more hp per character, or more powerful and appropriate scrolls.

I can't get passed him no matter how many times I try. Basically, here is what I have to work with. Cassandra --- A human female fighter/necromancer equipt with a long sword and the best armour I could find for her. Alair --- a half-elf mail healer/Druid. He is armed with a blackwood staff and light armour/cloathing. Dara --- a female half-elf fighter/ranger with bronze armour, legendary long swords, duel wield at 5, flurry 5, and basically you don't want to mess with her because your likely to loose a head, arm, and basically get chopped up in the process. Lupercus -- My wolf companion. Undead skeleton orc fighter/mage. He is under Cassandra's control and was raised from the dead to help out in the battle. Summoned Animal --- any bat, wolf, or rat I can summon to the battle ground to fight the Drake. As you can see I've got what I thought was a good party. I can really kick the crap out of the Drake, but not enough to actually slay the dragon. When he hits me with a fire attack everyone takes heavy damage and most of my party members usually wind up dead with several limbs missing. In the last major fight Casssandra lost a leg, arm, and ended up dying after the Drake bit her head off, and then spit it out on the floor. Its like impossible to take him down without being malled or roasted to death.

Re: [Audyssey] Need help fighting the Drake.
I'm afraid I disagree that this is the only way of beating the drake Sean. I've done it with parties of monks, mages, druids, fighters, assassins, bards, rangers and necros, even parties with fairies. The only jobs I really haven't got to grips with yet are barbarian and paladin. there's no need really for a specific job or race, provided you use scrolls strategically, remember rules about special attacks, and don't just try using the same move constantly!

Re: [Audyssey] Need help fighting the Drake.
Hi I'll agree, I've beaten the Drake many times and with various combos of races and jobs. Most recently I had the Drake grappled by my ogre brawler which made for some easy pickings. I dislike some views of oh you have to do it this way. Also I've never went past the Drake for more XP and came back. I've always taken it out on the way down. It's a battle you can win, though not always an easy one.

Re: [Audyssey] Need help fighting the Drake.
Agreed Ron, I've only once bypassed a battle and gone back, and that was against some truly evil quest orcs on the 5th floor, certainly not against the drake or the goblin king. To prove how tough said orcs were, I actually couldn't defeat them until i'd got to floor 12, even though I had a go after defeating the Goblin king, and after defeating the drake. Other than that, I've always gone on a basis of kill everything on current floor, then move on, drake included. Beware the grue!

Other than that, I've always gone on a basis of kill everything on current floor, then move on, drake included. Beware the grue!

Re: [Audyssey] Need help fighting the Drake.
You should rescue two more characters, one on the second and one on the sixth floor. If your decending so quick your missing those, your probably not levelled up high enough to take on the drake anyway, sinse the levels and xp system in the game has been carefully balanced out on the basis of exploring the entire floor before going down. hth.

To prove how tough said orcs were, I actually couldn't defeat them until i'd got to floor 12, even though I had a go after defeating the Goblin king, and after defeating the drake. Other than that, I've always gone on a basis of kill everything on current floor, then move on, drake included. Beware the grue!

Hi I'll agree, I've beaten the Drake many times and with various combos of races and jobs. Most recently I had the Drake grappled by my ogre brawler which made for some easy pickings. I dislike some views of oh you have to do it this way. Also I've never went past the Drake for more XP and came back. I've always taken it out on the way down. It's a battle you can win, though not always an easy one.

My favorite combination is the Fighter/Assassin. The FIghter can use plate armor (although I suppose the Assassin can also), but the Fighter also has the most Ability Points.

Re: [Audyssey] Need help fighting the Drake.
Hi, Possible spoilers ahead, so read at your own risk. s p o i l e r s p a c e Most magic does not work on the drake. There are a couple that work really well. They are shrink, curse, and web. I think that slow also works on the drake. There are a couple others, but cannot remember exactly right off. Sure someone else will elaborate. The shrink is special in that the drake takes more damage, and dishes out less when shrunk. The shrink spell can be cast by mages, and found on certain scrolls. But it only lasts a short time, depending on the level of the spell. Or, make any of your party grow. Especially the fighters. They will do quite a bit of damage when all grown up. Curse is good in that the drake will receive maximum damage, while always dishing out minimum damage. This spell lasts for the entire length of the battle. The curse spell can only be cast from a scroll. The web can only be cast by a scroll. Unless you have a spider skeleton handy. it will make the drake immobile, and unable to move. This too is a limited time effect. Also, anything that strengthens your party is good. Enlighten, grow and haste come to mind. Ice blast also seems to do more damage than fire bolt. Don't waste flurry on the drake. Your fighter will then stand around too much afterwards. Target the head. You might hit the neck also. This is the most vulnerable spot on the drake. The only problem is that you have a slightly higher probability of missing. But if your fighter connects, it will definitely do some damage. Save before battling the drake. If all fails, restart the game and try again. Or, if possible, go past the drake and come back later when you have more hp per character, or more powerful and appropriate scrolls.

Hi Richard, that's some very valuable information. However, how exactly to you target a specific part of the body. Every time I play it seams like the game picks a body part at random.

Re: [Audyssey] Need help fighting the Drake.
Good Day: There is most definitely away to perform attacks which are targeted. If you have a keyboard with a keypad, imagine the number five as the center, or torso, of your enemy. In that case, the eight becomes the head, four and six become the arms or front paws, and one and three become the legs or back paws. To target an enemy, simply hold the appropriate number down while pressing enter on the action which you would like to perform. Also note that the numbers on the number row work just as well.

Re: [Audyssey] Need help fighting the Drake.
Hi Thomas, Something I did actually find funny about tht Drake is how even when it says critically injured, it still takes quite awhile before you actually get him. Best Regards, Hayden -Original Message- From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of Thomas Ward Sent: Saturday, February 27, 2010 5:30 PM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: [Audyssey] Need help fighting the Drake. Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone here can give me some advice on defeating the Drake on level 7. I can't get passed him no matter how many times I try. Basically, here is what I have to work with. Cassandra --- A human female fighter/necromancer equipt with a long sword and the best armour I could find for her. Alair --- a half-elf mail healer/Druid. He is armed with a blackwood staff and light armour/cloathing. Dara --- a female half-elf fighter/ranger with bronze armour, legendary long swords, duel wield at 5, flurry 5, and basically you don't want to mess with her because your likely to loose a head, arm, and basically get chopped up in the process. Lupercus -- My wolf companion. Undead skeleton orc fighter/mage. He is under Cassandra's control and was raised from the dead to help out in the battle. Summoned Animal --- any bat, wolf, or rat I can summon to the battle ground to fight the Drake. As you can see I've got what I thought was a good party. I can really kick the crap out of the Drake, but not enough to actually slay the dragon. When he hits me with a fire attack everyone takes heavy damage and most of my party members usually wind up dead with several limbs missing.

Re: [Audyssey] Need help fighting the Drake.
no not the drake. Firstly swords don't cut the drake you need a club. its probably a good idea to have swords or something of whatever quality with int and other increases. scroles work on him to. The only actual combo without all the new power transfer items are if you are a ogar. you need a couple of clubs at about 14 or less dammage 9-14. one should be grannet and both need to be of some stone. grate clubs are prefured and skill for duelwield max, and large clubs at level3 or 4 and flurry max or at level3 or more. I wouldn't worry to much with armour though a couple rosewood bucklers would work. the ogar has quite tough hide but thats how I did him in. I may try as a drewed or necro with maxed iceblast and a few int items. maybe.

Re: [Audyssey] Need help fighting the Drake.
I've noticed that very thing myself. I think I only defeated him because I got lucky. I had a Fighter/Assassin armed with the Gobblin King's twin short swords and wearing his breastplate, plus a Fairy Mage/Healer who got in a level 5 Shrink spell on the Drake while my Assassin/Fighter was hiding. I also had an Elf Necromancer/Healer who cast maxed Ice Blast. My Assassin hid the first round and then targetted the head the next opportunity he got. I just got lucky in that I did extreme damage to the neck. That's why I generally avoid the Drake if I can help it since winning that fight often seems to be based more on luck than skill because his magic resistance is so high.
