Ok, so I just did the whole Oracle thing, went through town, got a bagillion quests, decide to go and finish the Samuri thing ... am I supose to beat that thing, or just come back to it later? Or should I do the Serpent Quests first ... just looking for opinions ...

Do the Serpent Temple first - the added experience and levels will help when you have to face the MANTRAPS!! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

i would do the serpent temple first cuz u need lots of exp. to defeat the mantraps...unless u have alredy done that ... do what you want man.

What about doing an end around, facing the Samuri warriors that are here somewhere ... then running back? I REALLY want to get my lowly cleric to do Samuri stuff ...then there is the mage that I'm turning into a Bard, but not sure where to take her ...http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/frown.gif

There IS a way to beat the mantraps early.

After you pass the burned-out house, be looking for a narrow break in the trees. One leads back to the burned-out house. The next one leads directly out to where the Mantraps spawn. Go CAUTIOUSLY down that path.

When you see the Mantraps, turn and run like h*** back to the road. They will attempt to pursue you, but they can't get their big green butts through that little passageway. Standing far enough away to where they can't target you but you can target them, blast away with fire (Sun) spells. Even Flamedrop can get them...it'll just take a long, long time.

When they're all dead, you can proceed to the Castle with impunity.

For the above post:

Check out the map at Rick's site: http://www.volberding.com/WHints/Gra...ll_Labeled.jpg

The Mantraps spawn just north and west of where the "D" is, near the lake. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

And for &*$#^@!'s sake, save in a different slot before you try it! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/noncgi/smiles/eek.gif

Black Knight,
You can, of course, do Samurai quest now - but it is dangerous becouse of Mantraps! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/frown.gif
The way that worked for me was as follows: RUN all the way to Castle ruins, take care of Samurai baton and RUN all the way back. No fighting, only running. But I did it during my second W&W gameplaying, when I knew where to run and how the map looked.
Mantraps are really a pain, you know (or will know http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif )
