I am now running a solo faerie bishop. It was tough early on, but after training charm with Burz, and then knocks in Arnika. She became very tough. Knocks raised alchemy to about 70, after which I could buy all the spell books. Hiring Myles with Bloodlust, made things a little better, with the troopers. I got some help from Madras, and I got Sgt Glumph to help with Nessie.

I went into Rapax rift after going through the away camp. She did very at the camp, hiding behind a Summoned elemental, and elemental shields. The first battle victory was worth over 2 million exp.

I ran into two difficulties so far. First, if I take the idol, my party dies. I suppose I shall have to go and kill Crock first. The second is worse. I could not become a templar. I made her a female, because I wanted to be able to use some of the female only stuff. Al Seduxus would not bed a female or either NPC (I tried the Umpani and the Trang from the away camp) Consequently, I can't get to the teleporter. How do I get to Ascention peak? Do I kill Al-Adryan?

Finally, where is the cave for which one uses the King's cave key?

Allegedly, if you dismiss all NPC males and dress a female solo in the kanzou gettup, All Sexy will do the deed... Though you don't acutally need her help: you can fight your way through all the templars to the transporter, I think-- I cleared the Castle before becoming a templar for the extra exp.

King's cave key opens the cave behind his tent where he's keeping his wife imprisoned.

Did you try taking the idol without any NPCs present? If so, the game usually just skips the kidnapping bit...

I didn't try dismissing the NPC. My FFB is now level 26 or so, and I saved 24 spell picks (bought or found the rest of the books) so she is strong enough. she gets about 80% kills with asphyxiate or death wish. She did the away camp alone quite easily.

I enjoy the company of Drazic and Rodan. I wouldn't know where to find them if I dismiss them. Will they follow me to sea caves?

I did try taking the idol without any NPCs. I died. The T'rang samurai was conviently waiting outside, so I hired him again, and was left with him. There is no way he could take the frog all by himself at this stage. He barely survived the run in the swamp to Crock. So it is just as useless.

Why did you save 24 spell picks? Even if you only saved a few spell picks for new spell levels, you would only be able to cast those new spells safe at power 1 anyway. It seems like wasted effort.

Sorry, I was a bit unclear. I learned charm with first spell picks.
All others, I bought or found. I saved the rest for level 19-20 when I was ready for level 6 and 7 spells.

[/QUOTE]I was just wondering if there was any reason to save 24 spell picks. But nevermind now. It must have been fun to use them all at a time, when the time came. [img]smile.gif[/img]

And i thought solo means single character, no RPCs.
No wonder that i had much trouble with my attempts.
