Nessie Ha!!!!!!!!

[Bad Mr. Frosty]

I keep on reading how hard beating nessie is.
I was looking forward to this as ive only had a handfull of challenges so far.
I was on my way following some of the umpani quests and i fell into nessie's den. I Was prepared enough for a good battle but not for a boss type battle as i assumed Nessie would be.
But Nessie was so easy, i killed her in about 4 rounds, no one died.
Dissapointed big time.
Ihad many harder fights in the game so far.
the fight before nessie was way harder.
5 Psi Sharks and 1 omega Shark.
It took me like 12 rounds on that fight against the damn sharks.
Luckily now my priest just got sane mind so fighteng the sharks wont be so hard anymore.

Ohh P.S.
Does anyone now where i can find the giants sword for my mook ranger.

I killed nessie at the lvl of 12.. with a couple of superman potions, it wasn't all that difficult.

About the sword.. I've gotten 3-4 of those, and I've sold every single one.. I don't have a sword-wielding mook, only a spear-mook, so they were useless to me. I didn't find them in chests, I found them on monsters. I don't remember which monsters, though (a lot of help _I_ am)

Frosty:

Some people have trouble because they dont know any tactics for Nessie type mobs. Some just rush in un-prepared. maybe you got extremely lucky and she didnt hit you with some of her more devestating spells. (earthquake comes to mind). Might be simply you went when you were higher than most take her on at in level.


For the Giants Sword there's several.

There's a couple that are random in chests but wont bother with those as thier are easier ones to get.

South East Wilderness Cathedral. 2 Death lords there that drop em. (one of the more promising battles if you go there at low teens IMO.

Mt. Wilderness. Barrow in the hill near the Dungeon Pillars. 1 Death Lord there. (also a chance from one of the chests in that same place if i recall correctly.

I know im missing atleast 1 or 2 more deathlords somewhere but oh well those 2 spots shouldnt be too hard specially considering your level your at (Mention of the Sane Mind spell kinda points towards what level ya are)

PS: basically "Every Death Lord mob drops a giants sword"

yeah my guys are about 16-18

So maybe im kinda at a high level where nessie isnt such a challenge.
I think ive been doing things in the wrong order or something.
well there is no wrong order, but i think i did sometings early that were supposed to be later in the game, and i am doing some earlier things now , like nessie.
ohh well
so i guess i got to go find a good battle with the death lords
thanks

hello all.

What a Great Game this is apart from some slow time sucking battle's lol

I had 2 cracks at nessie and she gave me earth quake twice'and i retreated after 2 attempts and those awesome hit points the beast has.

From waht i,m reading here i better get back down their and have another crack at her..was not sure what to do in this situation!!

My party seems quite healthy with team at 18-19..a few levels up thanks to those pesky crabs and water sprites.

My Gadgeteer's items like Strobe light and Microwave Ray came in very handy,saved my ass a few times..lol
so far Bayjin has been the best area's for hard combat and i,m sure i have more to come.

I am though looking for those special items required for Antone rapax armoury.
1st is a Djinn Eye.
2nd is a Modai Claw.

still to be found i guess? plese only give me a place to visit would be greatly appreciated.

Anyway i better get bk to the game,love reading yr great posts and tips for Wizardry and as this is my first post i,m sure it wont be my last. [img]smile.gif[/img]

cheers jerry.

I came there at about the asme level. Then it's a piece of cake. Cast Elemental Shield and Soul Shield then you won't have much trouble. I had to run after nessie because she always avoid melee. But I could take her in sandwich with an elemental lord and my team in a corner.

I don't have a good team to deal max damage in melee and attack magic isn't very efficient against bosses. So just hacking, hacking took her out.

Djinn eye is in Umpani land. Piercer Modai Claws are found after Piercer Modai battles. I guess that is obvious, sorry. Can't remember where they are though, although I have run into them many times.

What gets me are people who come on here and boast how easy Nessie was "after reading how difficult she was."

Okay, if you have read how difficult she was... you probably had an idea what to expect, and probably prepared yourself.

But for those people, who don't read on the boards everything - marching up to and facing Nessie isn't gonna be so easy.

Obviously reading here, and preparing yourself, is going to make the battle that much easier.

There are two places - one in the SE Wilderness in the Temple and one in the Sea Caves after you kill the Guardian of Marten's Tomb.

I killed Nessie a little too easily, too. Lots of hit points, but I drove it insane and then hacked it to pieces (and love that Boiling Blood - it does about 100-175 points of damage each time it's cast).

Vap, you're right on the money. The first time I stumbled out of Mt. Gigas and onto Nessie I was in the 10-12 range and didn't know she was there. I got my head(s) handed to me and went off in another direction to get stronger and ponder how to get past her. By the time I got back to the shallows (from the Bayjin side the second time), I had a plan, and the characters to carry it out pretty efficiently. Now, in replays, it's a relative piece of cake.

But that first time, with no clue, it would have been quite a feat to do her in in 3 or 4 rounds. Maybe not impossible, but just about.
