It depends if they have stolen something or not. If not, then you just have to kill them before they can teleport (fatal hit). If they are running though, there's not much you can do at the moment besides chase them down. They usually only have no more than 1 spell (unless it's the mage). The update will provide more options for taking care of pesky thieves.
I got the sword out tonight for the first time. It did get stolen a few times, but luckily not by the mage like last time. When normal creatures take the sword it is pretty easy to get it back. Most of the thieves take one hit to kill, so they don't get a chance to teleport as long as you initiate the combat. I would have started a new game but my battery is almost drained. This game has a lot of replay value for sure
That was a wild first ride. But I gotta admit, the end was very frustrating. I leveled up to 35 just so I could kill anyone who stole the sword fairly easily. Unfortunately, as soon as I went up the first staircase to lvl19 a mage was waiting for me and grabbed the sword before I could even swipe the screen to run away from him. I spent the next 30 mins chasing him. Every time I got near him and swiped to attack, he'd teleport away. I never even got to hit him once. Man, I figured he'd run out eventually, but he never did. I lost count of how many he used. Oh well. New game. Please say you'll give the mage a few less teleport spells in the update.
HINTS: The mage does not have unlimited power. It helps if he's able to see you and use up his power on things other than teleports. Pay attention to his staff. It's very telling.
dbooster, the update will have other... "remedies" shall we say. Mindfield has it right though. Also... did you see the endgame failure animation? I haven't heard anyone mention it yet.
Yay! I finally made it out with the sword! It was a long time coming, but very satisfying. I spent days building up a strong character, and it almost all went down the drain. Luckily, I turned things around and successfully beat the game. I wrote about my journey on the official Sword of Fargoal forums here. Feel free to swing on over there and check it out, and if you're a fan of the game sign up and join in! I enjoyed every minute of playing this game so far, and I've already started on my next quest. This game could literally be played until the end of time without growing old. Thank you for a fantastic job on a fantastic game that has brought me so much joy. Here's a pic of my final stats before exiting the dungeon. *sigh* I'm going to miss you, +37 enchanted sword: Awesome! My goal for my new quest is to get the sword and then lose just so I can see that!
Halls of Legend Dear boardumb, Thanks again for your great stories about the game. As I said in our own forums, we are honored and touched that you have enjoyed the game so much!

I still haven't completed the game. I regret that I just haven't had the time to put into it the last few days owing to other things and projects taking up my attention. Hopefully I'll get some time this week to get some quality time in and finally get that sword outta there.
I finished the game on friday. Was a lot of fun! The scarest part was getting blinded by a shadow dragon and then someone stealing the sword while I was blind.
I have worked *all* weekend on new stuff... Will try to get it ready the next couple of days. Have to get it just right though.
Yes, I can attest to that! Paul has been working hard, but it is pretty darned amazing! It will be worth the wait!! -- Jeff McCord
Levitation Bug Help! My saved game is not playable anymore because my hero is stuck in levitation mode (from mushroom effect). Is there any way to fix my save game or do i have to start over??
man, I was really loving taking my char slow, got down to level 9 and all of a sudden one of the enemies did 64 damage to me killing me instantly. Was weird considering every other monster was only doing about 24 max crit damage.
I think the sheer amount of hard work you put in shines through in this title. It's already superb but I can't even imagine how good the update will make it. Will we see it approved my Xmas do you think?
lol i entered this thread because on the thread index it said sword of fargoal now... i thought it said free lol anyway, is this worth getting? or should i just save my money and get seed?
