[Necromancer3000]

I need help with the Vale its really hard i just got this game.The carrion crawlers are hard as heck. Its really frustrating for me, and i dont no what to do in there. I cant find the evil that is plauging Kuldahar. I found that Yetti cave though with the tent and boxes of jewels and spells.So could you plz provide me with some spoilers(slightspoilers)and tips and hints , thanx

You should enter the cave after you've been through all of the crypts. You'll need to go and give someone a right good drubbing (as you will be requested to do).

As for the difficulty, it is a bit different from BG say, but missile weapons are the key. My finest piece of advice would be to look at my sig. There's no shame in running off and smacking them later. Try using one character to draw the crawlers out and have all of the others ready with missile weapons. Being able to pause on the Inventory screen means you can safely switch back to mêlée weapons whenever you like. Which is nice. Move back and set up the attack again, and...dead crawler anyone?

Part of the puzzle about the evil that plagues Kuldahar will be discovered at the end of the series of crypts. Don't worry if it doesn't make too much sense so far. There's a long way to go yet.

1) Use missile weapons! Don't engage enemies at close range unless you absolutely have to, then switch to melee weapons and go after it with your front-liners.

2) Use magic. Chromatic Orb and Magic Missile, even at lower levels, do wonders on things like Carrion Crawlers.

3) If you have a cleric, have him "Turn Undead" while the others are fighting. That way, you won't get swamped by skeletons upon entering the crypts.

4) Strategy: What you are doing is working your way through the Vale to the crypt at the top right of the map (that's Kresselack's Tomb, and you need things from some of the other crypts in the map before you tackle it.) That should be the last crypt you face.

5) The middle crypt (where all the chests are and the tents) you will come back to after Kresselack's Tomb. Meanwhile, loot the goodies that are in there first, as they will be a great help in taking on Kresselack's tomb.

Hope this helps.

Cool, you must have a dwarf as a fighter with a 19 CON. Be sure to equip everyone with Missile weapons; it's worth spending at least 1 prof. point on when you get it, especially in the later stages of the game.

It sounds as if you're doing good so far. Let us know how it goes!

You have to go in order in the tumbs. Us range weapons on 2 to 3 of you careters. You can put good stuf on them using a trick.

[shawnme]

The trick to do is inport one of the cariters at the top of the list the same kind you will be using transfer all items then deleat the cariter. do as many times as needed.

[Necromancer3000]

Thats just great i ve beaten a total of 6 tombs if u count the cave as 1 and now i no that i have to beet them all in order eeeeerrrrgh
