Shipping Am I the only one who feels like Spoiler Flanker and the Analander have a true bromance moment Spoiler under the bridge by the caves?
Since the Analander in my game is female, it's just regular romance. Regrettably, the little hints I've seen suggested a whirlwind of passion is simply not in the cards for our heros. Anyways, would anyone be willing to trade hints with me? I'll share something I've learned about the game which might be useful, and in exchange I ask a question. My hint. Do you know when you finally get into Mampang, into the central square where the statue of the archmage is? You can see there are a maze of towers to the left and right of the city proper? Spoiler It appears that each tower has a spell on it. These exist as training grounds for counterspells. If you cast the appropriate counterspell, it will clear the tower. If the spell required a material item , you will often find that item in the tower and can take it with you. Further, I note that some of these spelled towers have the markings "1", "ii", "iii", and "iiii" on them. I'll wager that these are the counterspells you need to open the Throben gates. By the way, some of the spells here are not in your book -- they were previously seen in Courga's temple, back in Sorcery 2. PUR and TAR, which counter each other, both make appearances, for example. Now, my own question. I guess I'd better put that in spoilers as well. Spoiler WHERE in the name of Lorag do you FIND THE BLINKIN' SONG for the Sleepless Ram? I've known for more than a real-time year it needs to be sung to sleep, but I didn't know until I met it that it needed a very specific song! None of the ones I know off-hand help. Does someone have any idea where to find that blasted song? I've been hunting all over Mampang for it! I don't care if you can get past it without the song, I've waited a blinking year to use it and I, by thunder, am going to! Respectfully, Brian P.
Very upset if this is true I am not buying a new device to play this on, its a gamebook, can this really not run on a Ipad 2? i know its old but I have all them and wanted to finish the serise. Please confirm this will run on a Ipad 2
You need to Spoiler enter the guards' mess hall and sit by the fire, where there is a singer. It helps to be disguised as a guard, but if they won't let you in, you can cast a spell . Even the correct song doesn't work indefinitely. Be prepared to take some damage no matter what.
I've always played as female, and that romantic tension existed as far back as S2. It definitely gets ramped up in this game! I haven't tried playing the whole series as male yet.
Awesome, thanks! Followup question. Spoiler The guards' mess hall -- is that in the barracks which we must pass through in order to get to Throg's kitchen? Respectfully, Brian P.
No, you need to have progressed Spoiler north of the main square past two sets of guards to reach it.
I see. Thank you. I had never once considered going north to that area until I had thoroughly explored the surrounding environs first. Thanks for the tip!
Some things can only be learned closer to your goal. Without the ability to rewind, I know it can be intimidating to make riskier moves. Don't be afraid to take advantage of Spoiler Throben's curse .
This series is mobile gaming at its peak. I wasn't really sure when the mobile version would come out originally so I had also pre-ordered the Steam version. But now I just bought it for iOS. Can't decide if I should start on 4 or finish 3 though. Regrets, decisions & excitement all rolled into a couple oatmeal chocolate chip treats.
Spoiler Flanker and a male Analander have the romance option if you make the same dialogue choices. In fact, if you Spoiler start female and gender swap from female to male, Flanker still pursues the romance after you meet near the end; all he says is 'you are not as you were'. The one thing I haven't tried is seeing if getting 'married ' in part 3 affects this in any way! I suspect not
Rewinding I must admit I'm a bit frustrated about the rewinding being impossible. I really liked that feature, as it made exploring different lines of conversation easy. Now to have the most interesting conversations I have to go all the way back. Just rewound to the gate after Spoiler exploring the rubble on the field and being dropped in front of Throben...
This game does require a different strategy due to the lack of rewinding inside Mampang. Best to charge ahead, make mistakes, and Spoiler ZEd as many times as you need to. There are plenty of opportunities to Spoiler gain extra stamina. If you started with the most you can get from S3, you can max out at 54!
The potential benefits to having finished S3 are Spoiler having a good stash of spell ingredients from the start, some counterspells under you belt, and higher max stamina . Also, presuming you killed all the Serpents, Spoiler the Archmage won't have placed Mampang on high alert . But it's certainly winnable either way.
I really liked the world building in the previous games, but with Colletus' Spoiler anti-gods stance and the shrine Spoiler where one loses one's god, but gains stamina , I'm beginning to feel like part of an Spoiler Ayn Rand novel.
I suspect Spoiler Yb'ran's sarcastic comments about other gods would contribute to that as well. Personally I appreciate the outlook, but I can see how it might be off-putting. Don't despair, there are lots of fun surprises to lighten the mood.
Speculation. In the third game we meet a shepherd who is watching a fire sweep the land. He can't escape because the bridge was destroyed. I think Spoiler That fire is from your beacon, isn't it? And the reason the bridge is destroyed is because you shown your beacon on it first. In response, the Archmage Spoiler seems to have cast ZED over the entire land, perhaps in a bid to save it from the destruction The overall lesson here seems to be one of good intentions. I suspect the archmage doesn't really intend evil, and our character certainly doesn't (at least, not the way I play her). But between the two of them they seem to have really , really, really messed up the Baklands. Having encountered the archmage and been outwitted by him, I must say that Inkle really missed on what would have been the best possible gameplay option. Spoiler How come I can't play Swindlestones with the Archmage? With the Crown as the stake and the fate of the lands in the balance? Respectfully, Brian P.
