Fates Pawn (Guest) (1 posts) Apr-18-04, 01:29 PM (Pacific) "General Wiz 8" Just wondering--has anyone actually won/finished Wizardry 8 in normal or expert mode. I can usually get to, in or generally around Trynton for the first time (either doing Arnika to Gigas to Trynton or just Arnika to Trynton). No matter what I do, how beefed my characters are, I usually get trounced so badly that I have to switch to novice for the rest of the game, just to finish. Just wondering if I'm just a douff or is the only way to finish normal or expert by using edit codes and cheats?   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Take advantage of terrain, any way you can get the monsters to come at you one or two at a time rather than surronding you party improves your chances. Buffing spells help you both to fight and defend against attack, Enchanted Blade, Armorplate, Missle Shield and Magic Screen are your BEST friends learn them early and keep them up. In battle a good general purpose spell is Bless. X-ray and Cameleon help you to dodge foes you don't want to meet. When in doubt, bug out, you do NOT have to fight every battle sometimes running away can save you skin. Stay in areas where you can get help from the locals, Arnika, Trynton, Marten's Bluff, and Mt Gigas give you additional allies to fight for you and take some of the monsters arrention from you. Hope this helps you in your quest.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

I have flushed some parties and single character attempts. It does get difficult at times, but you should learn from the difficulties, trying different strategies, tactics, etc. And, despite my history and reputation, I have not edited my Wiz 8 games Tools for Wizardry(r) 7   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Wolfie (Guest) (0 posts) Apr-18-04, 03:56 PM (Pacific) 3. "RE: General Wiz 8" Also remember some areas are tough, too tough for "fresh meat". If an area is getting to hard to survive in, back off, and try another direction and come back later. New characters just can't expect to be able to walk up to a level 20 monster, tear it's leg off, and beat it to death with the bloody stump, it ain't gonna happen (more like the other way around actually!). Be assured that almost any party combination can progress in the game and win, just take it slow and steady. ----- Visit http://wiz8.web1000.com/ to download a spreadsheet that allows you to enter in your spellcasters current stats, and the spreadsheet will tell you what spells the character can learn, or for spells that they are not yet able to learn, it will tell you how many points you need, or why your character can't learn the spell. v2.01 released Oct 14, 2003   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
