Infinite Wish Trick

[Kil'jaeden]

Warning! This is an extreme spoiler! Using this trick can max out your base stats, get you really powerful items, a ridiculous amount of hitpoints, and infinite amounts of money. Do not continue reading this if you still want a challenge in the game!

Okay. Get the Lamp of Ali Baba (or Alababa. I forget). You can get it by going through the second exit from the Boogre Prison, or by a lucky Vanish spell close to the trees just west of the first entrance. You will find a two-headed cyclops. He has the lamp. Once you kill him, go back to Valeia, and create a drone character. Get him in your party, and leave the town.

The way the lamp works is you have to use it on a character. That character is now the one who is getting the wish. Once the person gets a wish, they are now "marked". If the lamp is used on the same person again, Ali Baba gets angry, will not grant a wish, and disappear. If you do it again, Ali Baba will disappear permanently. However, if you use the lamp on one character, but then select another as your active character, they can get the wish, but the character upon whom the lamp was used will still be considered the one who activated the lamp. Because of that, the one who got the wish will not be marked, and the active one will never have recieved a wish, and will also not be marked.

Always activate the lamp on the dummy character you just created, but never let him get a wish.

Now for how to get an infinite number of wishes. Use your first two, remembering to activate the lamp on the dummy character. For the third wish, the lamp will not lose one of its charges. Instead, it will disappear after the third wish is granted. But it does this at the very end of the wish.

Activate the lamp. As soon as Ali Baba appears, drop the lamp on the ground. Or, give it to another character who isn't getting a wish, but NOT the dummy character. At the end of the wish, when the computer searches for the lamp to remove it, it only checks the inventory of the character who recieved the wish, and the character upon whom the lamp was activated.

Do this as many times as you want, for any of the wishes. In my opinion, the armor isn't worth it. The weapon is good, the ward (necklace) is one of the best necklaces I have seen yet (+20% resistance to everything, +2 AC), the Power wish gives you the Arms of Argus trait, which you can decide whether or not you want. The Attribute wish is a no brainer (+1 to every base stat. Note: The max your stats can go to is 24. After that, this wish and all Ankhs will not work anymore. Invoking an Ankh when its stat is at 24 will simply fail, and the ankh will disappear). The Health wish increases your max HP by 25. This one you can definitely do a lot.
