how to beat caster spirtes in Tryton?

nameless crazy · 03-21-2002, 03:04 AM

I have recently started a new solo game. My character reached Arnika at lv3 (2ranger, 1rogue). At that level he clears most of N-Wilderness,A-Road,Arnika and A-T Road. The problem is he can't get pass the spirits at upper Tryton. One acid splash and he was gone......The only way I can think of is to put some levels to be a bishop, and wait till he can get magic screen......Is there any other way to dispatch the casters? Also is there a Filcher Bane at Breeder's room?
BTW this is my character's info:
lv6 (2ranger 1rogue 3bishop) elf
about 40hp
50-60 in all attributes (ie str,pie...)
92 stealth 90 shield
80 mace and flail 80 close combat
50 bow 48 ranged
around 20 for magic skills( except air-no air spell)

Magic does help against any and all sprites.

Paralyze is a good spell, also insanity.

I've never tried beating them with a non-magic user in my party. Usually I incapacitate them and have my tanks beat the crap out of them. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

How in the world did you make it to Arnika and are still only a level 3?

I'm usually about level 6 when I get to Arnika, and that's with a ful party. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Spirits or Sprites?

I never found the Sprites to be difficult, since they have so few hit points.

If you're really stuck you may try arranging the fight so that a tyrnnie patrol takes the initial brunt of the sprites' magic attack.

~~rhea~~

i bet he just didn't level up, as that's the only way i have ever been able to solo the A-T road. lookit his skills, they are very high.

it keeps the spawns at a low enough level to deal with.

anyway, the skills are the most important thing to develop for a solo, otherwise you're dinner.

well, they are just as important for a full team, but until you play solo, you don't really realize how important they are.

Thanks everyone! Actually I went to Tryton a few days ago to try again with my lv6 char. Two power4 magic missiles and most of them died. I am now at the entrance of ratkin tree. Can I beat the breeders by this level?
Well I really just stop my char from leveling. He now has around 1.5mil exp. I think the most important thing is to have a high stealth skill. Now with a round shield he has about 26ac (so hogar is not a matter for me now). The pain of using a low level char is in Arnika, in which the monster levels varies a lot. Most of them are just low level savant guards, but lv12 drones occurs quiet frequently and sometimes I just face a team of lv23 androids (should be slashers but I can't identify them).
