Weapons with this property deal really good damage and cost less than 1000 gold. .--------------------------------------------------------------------------------. | 1H | 2H | .---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | SKILL | WEAPON | DAMAGE | HIT | SPEED | WEAPON | DAMAG E | HIT | SPEED | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | APPRENTICE | Knife | 2-4 | 10 | 0.2 | Combat Staff | 5-1 0 | 17 | 0.3 | | | Stiletto | 2-6 | 14 | 0.2 | Spear | 10-2 2 | 18 | 0.4 | | | Dagger | 3-7 | 16 | 0.3 | Trident | 14-2 5 | 14 | 0.4 | | | Falchion | 4-9 | 20 | 0.3 | | | | | | | Short Saber | 5-12 | 22 | 0.3 | | | | | | | Saber | 7-14 | 26 | 0.3 | | | | | | | Axe | 9-17 | 13 | 0.3 | | | | | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | DISCIPLE | Short Sword | 6-12 | 15 | 0.3 | Lance | 15-2 7 | 19 | 0.4 | | | Double Blade | 8-16 | 25 | 0.3 | Pike | 17-2 9 | 18 | 0.5 | | | Backsword | 8-17 | 18 | 0.4 | | | | | | | Long Sword | 10-19 | 25 | 0.4 | | | | | | | Great Axe | 11-20 | 16 | 0.4 | | | | | | | Great Club | 15-20 | 15 | 0.4 | | | | | | | Mace | 19-22 | 18 | 0.4 | | | | | | | Battle Axe | 17-24 | 19 | 0.4 | | | | | | | Flail | 20-25 | 16 | 0.5 | | | | | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | JOURNEYMAN | Bastard Sword | 14-22 | 30 | 0.4 | Halberd | 21-3 1 | 20 | 0.6 |

F or now, just focus on strength, constitution and dexterity. Alternatively, right from the beginning put everything in strength to quickly max it and be able to use all those Devil's Root strength el ixirs. Don't raise your skills above the master level as it will cost tons of skill poi nts. Instead, leave them at 16 and aim to get +4 to non magical skills from the equipment. Magic schools Melee Combat Armor Use Perception Shield Use Sturdiness Holy Protection Divine Strike Defense Ranged Combat Identification Enemy Estimation Smithing Eventually you'll want them at 10 but it's not your priority 16 16 16 16 (or 0 if you want to go full two-handers) 16 16 You can put any leftovers here You can put any leftovers here Don't bother Don't bother (just use Sixth Sense) Don't bother Don't bother (just use the shopkeepers)

As for the magic, you'll want to especially rise divine and miracles magic to ge

t raise dead and levitation. It would be optimal if you could rise both of those skills to studen t rank by the 15th level. Since you're not raising the smithing skill. It's good to always carry a backup weapon. Level progress: - You will leave Hillbrandt at level 4. - Completing place of execution will get you to level 6. - Try to earn level 7, disciple of melee combat and a good blue disciple weapon before visiting the cemetery. - Clearing the surface of the graveyard should get you level 9. It's a good mile stone as you should be a disciple of armor use and sturdiness by now. Buy some better armor before descending to the tomb (you should have relic boots and there is a relic chest piece inside the tomb, so buy gloves, helmet or accessory). - You should be level 11 after clearing the tomb and retrieving the Monstrance. - One more level for clearing the Tree of Death. - Completing the road to the Dragon Rock should get you to level 14. You should have 11 melee weapon by now so buy a good blue journeyman weapon. ____ | | \==/ | | | | __ ________________________/~~~~\ _ _ / \ \ [ ]#\#\#\#\#\#\#\#\[ ] | --- ACT --- I ----------| [ ]\#\#\#\#\#\#\#\#[ ] | ________________________/ [_]#\#\#\#\#\#\#\#\[_] | \~~~~/ \__/ | | | | ||~~~~~~~~~~~~|| /==\ | | HILLBRANDT | | |____| (o)~~~~~~~~~~~~(o) In some cases you can get the same journal entry from multiple sources so depend ing on order which you talk to people, the ones who give you entries can vary from those described in the guide.

Everything will be fine as long as y ou fight one bat at a time and rest when necessary. You will be fully healed at each level up so i t's entirely

possible to vanquish all bats without using a single potion.

You can easily kill him if you have any com panions, otherwise run to the guards and let them do their job.

Talk to him again when you have proof against Lotti to get a note. + Beggar Flitz has some interesting information. You can give him 10gp when you first speak to him. If you do, he will sell you his knowledge a little cheaper, which will actuall y save you some gold in the long run if you want to pay for all his answers. You can get five notes in total if you ask him about brother Quentinus, goods exchange, unusual happenings, legends and O lfghard.

Talk to her after finding a Devil's Root and you'll get a n ote. If you pay her 1000gp she'll use your Devil's Root to brew a random elixir that will permanen tly increase one of your attributes by one (so save your game before brewing, it's probably best t o aim for strength elixirs). Use those mixtures after reaching the corresponding attribute cap (t he moment when you can't spend attribute points to increase the attribute) as they can break it. The limits are: Strength (90), Dexterity (60), Intelligence (50), Constitution (60) and Speed (50). Ask her about Friedrich's curse to get a note.

Ask

Joseph about the heretics to get a note and about gambling to be able to play some dice (which is a great way to get some free gold). When you're done talking, Joseph will ask you for a 1000gp. Give it to him if you rather have experience than gold. + Speaking with Millward will get you another proof of Edmond d'Arvias' guilt. C onfront him after Flitz tells you he saw him with baroness Linda and you'll get a proof against her. If you threaten to put him in jail for lying, you can take the 1000gp which Linda paid for his silence. ***+ Tell Stefan Reichmann that you heard his daughter was courted by Jullian an d then ask him who murdered her to get two notes. Say you can punish her murderer to get a new qu est. ***+ Speak to Herminus and ask him about the crusades.

He will give you another main quest and a note. You could arrest him now and end one o f the quests but you won't be able to speak with him if you put him in jail (and tortures would only waste your time) so have a little faith in your brotherhood's master and leave him be for now. He'll ask you to retrieve his lost sword, accept for yet another mission. If you tell him yo u want to become a commander of the Brotherhood of the Righteous, you will get another note and a mission of finding the holy Monstrance of St. Orthenius. + If you already spoke to Edmond d'Arvias, go to the chapter of the Brotherhood of the Righteous and you'll meet Hugo Montesque who can join your party. ||~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|| | | HILLBRANDT PLACE OF EXECUTION | | (o)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(o) QUESTS: - Bring executioner Friedrich a curative potion (Friedrich Raubsticht, 150xp, 11 92gp) - Dispel Friedrich's bewitchment (Friedrich Raubsticht, 150xp, 1455gp) - Cleanse the Death Stone (150xp, this quest doesn't show in your journal)

He can be found in a secret room behind the rocks in SE corner and you'll have to kill him. He can permanently drain your strength, so use the dialog autosave if he manages to do that. To pass th e broken bridge you'll have to use the levitation spell or go through Graubner's secret tunnel . Behind the locked gate (bash it open or use Graubner's key) you'll meet another orc guard - Orgh p. You can talk your way out of the fight but doing so doesn't get you any bonus experience this ti me.
