i need help in chapter 2 getting through the forest.

Plese read some of the old posts. One of them contains links to online walkthrough up to Chapter 5. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I just finished it a couple of days ago.

I made a diagram starting at the beginning i.e. start ne nw se, chose a direction and mapped out what went there, and so on to the end. Luckily, most of the choices lead back to a previous point. You can't just walk off into the sunset. It's just a matter of keeping track of which areas you've been to already, since they all look alike. Someone here suggested dropping cheap items on the ground a la hanzel and gretel.

If you haven't figured it out, there are I think five settings in the forest: the wolf den, the wide screen (exits w, n, e), the long screen (exits w, sw, e, se). I forget the others. These screens get recycled; however there are only one set of enemies on each screen type (though these enemies get refreshed once you leave the screen). You can keep track of where you have been by the corpses of your vanquished foes.

Also, to get to the heart of the forest, you can get some hints from the Dryad, if your Charisma is high enough. I think.

If you're not intersted in that, there are walkthroughs out there. I saw a link for one pop up a couple of days ago on the board.

good luck.

It's a walkthrough, and there are some maps (with directions) that can show you the way.
Fell wood is a tricky place =)
Good luck!

Wilderness Lore skill can help you get thru the forest. In fact, it's probably the best way to do so, without relying on walkthrus.
