Thanks for the tip to cross the lava before entering Cet´s room. I pumped up my HP to more than 350, but I had to insert the first key, jump back and resurrect, insert the second key, jump back and then I could enter the room. The fight against Cet was disappointing. I really fought tougher guys or monsters in this game. Two firestorms were the only challenge, but it was simple clicking to hit him. No strategy, no tactics necesseary - really disappointing for the final round.

No problems Rene - glad that tip worked for you. I agree by the way that the final battle is quite disappointing. I wish that a game would regularly gauge the strength of a party, and generate the monster stats to make for a challenging fight. The best fights I had in the game were:
1) The Bone Lord outside the crypt
2) Scabban evils
3) Naga
4) Elyssia

After those, the only real difficult challenges were friendly characters, Erathsmador, and the best battle anywhere, Oakenmir. A pity they didn't have Oakenmir's stats for Lord Cet (and no way to hide or run away into the water) - that would have been a better battle to end on.

Hope you enjoyed the rest of the game though.

Cheers
Davros

PS - didn't include the battles against the mantraps because they were "run away, run away - firestorm from afar stuff" - never got the hands dirty http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

Well, my "hit"-list is:
1. The first two Mantraps close to the doors of Ishad-Na(I fought them in close-combat) because my spells were to weak at that time"
2. The Naga (at least ten re-loads)

Hi guys! Cool "hit lists"! I agree with both. Great battles were hard to find in WW, but the ones that were there are worth the wait. It's a good thing there are so many other things in the game to enjoy! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

Rene, if you want to read a really great highlight from Davros' game, do a search for the "Man, that Monkey can RUN!" thread and check it out. It is one of my favorite threads, well worth reading, very funny stuff! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...hterpurple.gif

Congrats on winning, Rene!!!!

Are you going to play again???

Of course I will play it again, Wyv - after a short break with a second run of Might and Magic. But the next time I want to generate a party that is less efficient - most of the fights were too easy. One or two iceshowers solved nearly all problems - except the first two Jungle Lillys who kept me busy for two or three hours.

Which Might and Magic are you playing, Rene? http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

BTW, were you playing the game at "Hard" level, and "Respawn Frequent"? You can get some VERY interesting encounters that way. Read my post in "Giggling so Hard" for a sidesplitting incident I had a Shurugeon Castle.. 5 different groups of monsters all deciding to attack at once!

Of course I did it the "hard way" - except for the first Lillies and Mantraps and the Naga. Currently I am exploring Stone City in M+M 8, but then I will be back.
