Alrighty then. Melee warriors are indeed somewhat weak, but since all you need to learn a given monster's way of attack, after a few tries it becomes rather easy (until they swarm you in a number larger than two or three, that is). And if you could at least introduce knockback reduction for those satyr pikemen and lizard riders that throw you around the map with impunity no matter how "beefy" you are, that would be most awesome (and poison damage/duration reduction too, please, since it's obviously a "modus operandi" in this mod and every other monster has a [lingering] poison mode of assault/defense, lol).

I went into this expecting a single large level RPG themed and not a full game! A pleasant surprise.

Is there a list of locations for the Balduin plates?

There is a spot in the sewers where "the masonry is weak", but nothing seems to break it down. Is that a trick for later or am I missing something?

Check out Inquisitor3D after finishing this mod.

Is there a list of locations for the Balduin plates?

1 in a house you need to enter through the chimney in Sorona Suburbs.
1 in a cave behind a house in the first level of Farmers' Rebellion quest. If you reach the mines, that means you have gone too far. Turn back to the previous area.
1 in a sunken ship (underwater) near the port of Sorona.
1 in the rare item trader's shop in the inner quarter of Sorona.
2 are in the opposite houses in the middle of Sorona but each house can only be entered from their respected inner gardens which are accessible only from the Sewers.

There is a spot in the sewers where "the masonry is weak", but nothing seems to break it down. Is that a trick for later or am I missing something?

This will be a part of a later quest.

Just finished it, thanks for the Balduin tip!

I had not tried to speak to everyone in the Necro guild and figured it out.

I will not spoil it for everyone, but I am guessing that there is only one ending?

[BigMemka1]

It's better to try talking to all NPCs. Some of them may give an additional task. And some tell you something interesting.

Yes, there is one end.

The project has been updated to version 1.7.
- Many models of trees and plants have been replaced with better, more realistic versions,
- the ability to get a "good" ending has been added (if you complete a number of quests "well" and do not complete some "bad" quests).

Hey Memka, awesome to see you guys still kicking - any chance of another project soonish?

BTW, what counts as "evil quests"? I figure stuff like helping the

lady with her husband's heart

would be an obvious one, but what about the necromancers? Does even the starting quest for them count as a bad choice? Cause I always do that, especially on my mage-type characters I'm totally ok with spoilers here, I already know the game pretty well, just wanna make sure I can do a "goodie two-shoes" run properly

[ShadT]

You must correctly complete the quest with the husband's heart, the quest with the Phoenix egg, the Pythia quest, and also avoid the quest with poisoning the source and the quest with planting the bomb to the point of irreversible consequences.

The google drive link comes up with a "you need access" page for me. Any chance you could address that?

Awesome, thanks man! Mind if I ask a few more q's?

1. Regarding those Balduin tablets, am I just too early for the

sunken ship one

and is that meant to be in a much later area? Cause it's definitely not

anywhere in the main town hub's port or any other areas you can do before going to the Temple of the Elements

or at least I couldn't find it.

Also, where do we get the phoenix egg, where do we start with that millet etc? And is the only good option giving it to the guy who originally asked, cause, man, the bag of holding is a much better reward lol.
