I just started playing this again and I am basically a newbie. Just doing a MiBe with axes. Ran away from Sigmund on level 2, and Trog just gave me a runed executioner's axe at D:6
Not entirely sure what to do now...
Sigmund is actually pretty manageable as a Berserker, just lure him around a corner, berserk and enjoy your level up.
What exactly is your problem?
If you don't know in what order to tackle the different branches and how far to advance, theres this
quite outdated walkthrough on the wiki that I used to stick to back when I was learning the game.
It's a bit too risky in some regards, a bit to cautious in others and some lategame branches might be done in different orders, but I've won the game with it and developed my own style in terms of doing those, like diving for runes early instead of training up for branch ending.
I do have another question however:
I couldnt figure out how to set my skills in the m menu (using tiles)
so i used the skills menu that goes in the place of the inventory by using the tab boxes at the left of the inventory. I set fighting and armor to be normally bright, axes to have a blue glow (is that focused?) and the rest to be darker-ish, is that correct? The menu is a little confusing and I can't seem to do anything in the m menu.
You can set the skill you want to train in the menue by pressing Shift + skillshortcut. Once you have it at the value you want, you can set another skill in the same manner.
Training one skill at a time is the most efficient method.
