You can't use Death on bosses. He just kills you instead even if you lowered their hp a lot. Keep that in mind...


Wrong. I oneshotted Fafnir with death, and used him several times in a row (while flubbing the story spell) on the near-last boss.

Learn to teleport.
Yeah, I dunno what game you're playing there. I've tried to use death on all the bosses I could. It never works and he always just goes for me. I can blink away but he still chases me. I can blink away in what appears to be apparent safety but he scythes the empty spot where I was and STILL die. So I have no clue what the heck you did.

edit: WHAT?! IT CRASHED ON THE ENDING CREDITS?!

I got to chapter 10 and the update decided to delete all saves. Got the saves off the steam forum only to find out they're made with the surreal assumption that you're brain damaged, didn't pick up most of the useful spells including teleport and kept your default staff and sword up until this point. Just. Fuck.

I've found a nice spell! QRRASE, Use it in whatever way you want, it slows enemies down and does 2500 or so damage, pretty impressive if i get to say so myself. You can also probably use it in situations QFASSS doesn't really work.

Assatur was a fun fight, probably the only boss that actually was tough the entire fight.

For me, the best spells are the ones that catch your friends off guard and make them go WTF?!

Speaking of an apparent cheese tactic....

As a side note, I'm really enjoying the whole second half. I was kind of left thinking "man, there's so much they didn't cover."

And then I hit the pure awesome that is Chapter 9.

An even better cheese tactic is to

Ohh has anyone found a way to get the high book in the first level?

I thought of a few ways unfortunately involving more then one player (and another involving a later level that may be a wrap around) but I havn't got it yet.

You can also "Somehow" use some clever tricks with mines to get it early.

Yeah but that tends to make me fall to my death.

You get it at a later chapter. Or you could try doing this.

Without spoiling it for me, I'd love an answer to this question: Is it worth playing the game 2nd time through?

Someone confirmed that there is some sort of new game+, I believe.  I have no idea what it amounts to.

AFAIK, it's the same thing, but you keep all your Magicks.

Pretty much. Basically I recommend that you play it through on singleplayer and then play it through on multiplayer.
