Hi!

I´m a newbie and i have some problems defeating the Crypt King in a tomb in the graveyard district. Any tips?

I´m also finding the skeleton warriors a little difficult...

Thanx!

You might need to level up a bit more if you're having problems. There's not really a technique to fighting him, you probably just need more experience, more HP and better weapons.

Take advantage of your greater numbers. Use summoned creatures no matter how weak, put them in between you and him. Use Haste. Make your thief invisible beforehand and backstab him. Attack him from behind. Use missile weapons as the only weapon he has is a melee weapon.

Thanks guys!

The Crypt king is in small "tomb" right next to a bigger one with a locked door.
Right next to where the man (Tirdin)is buried alive...

I haven´t done any backstabbing yet. Do you use "hide in shadows" and then just stick him from behind?

The Crypt King is in a tomb next to the stairs down (which is blocked in the early parts of the game). To be honest, it's just a level thing. Have a Cleric's Turn active and hammer him with quick spells and a fighter or two with really low ACs

OK! My party is really not that high in level since it is one of my first quests(Korgans Quest).

Can you do like Memnoch said and summon something to pu between you and him? Would probably also help with the other guys you-re having a problem with. What have you got in your party?

Hey BP, to backstab goto 'customise' and select 'script', then choose 'thief aggressive',- read the description.

that script doesnt work well. because the thief tend to attack from front instead of going to enemy's back and backstab, i prefer to do it myself
