Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Beyond Divinity Strategy Guide V1.1 released

After having to cope with a server hack, which wiped out all of RPGDot and The Locus Inn (luckily we decided once to invest $100 a month to make daily backups) and a move to a new server owned by Jolt, I can finally upload the Official Beyond Divinity Strategy Guide.
The guide is made by Kiya, Barnabus, Raze and myself and can be downloaded in three sizes: 49MB, 33MB or 18MB. They are big in all cases, thanks to the great artwork by Marian <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
They are all the same guide, but have different quality settings.

Download it from The Locus Inn. <broken link, see edit below>

The downloaded file is version 1.1. Raze and I are working on adding some extra information, which will lead to version 1.2 in a couple of weeks.

Enjoy!


EDIT: since the Locus Inn site appears to be down, here are download mirror links for version 1.3 of the guide: High quality 61MB. Medium quality 44MB or Low quality 30MB (still a decent quality if download size is an issue; you'd have to compare it to one of the other versions to consider it low quality).

Thanks, Myrthos! It looks beautiful, and seems to be jam-packed with useful info... I'm looking forward to reading through it.

(Sorry to hear about the server hack, and very pleased you had the backups.)

Me too, so far on page 50, only on floor 2 of the first act even though I've beat it, so intresting to read and see the pics!

So this is how you knew all the awnsers to our problems so early. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />


Rincewind, shouldn't you hat ) jolly as it is( say 'wizzard' on it? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

no....the hat should say nothing......everybody knows hats can't talk.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" /> ....or spell... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

just downloaded the biggest version of the strategy guide, it's looking very good.

Actually it is on the hat, but everybody knows hats are colour blind, so it's also in red, so you can't see it.

Awesome work, un-pay-able effort. Just great!

X-Tremely good guide, very detailed......
I downloaded the 49M, and it's nice... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
...had to stop reading,
didn't want to spoil it for myself.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/stupid.gif" alt="" /> .....538 pages, eh?

Thar's some good readin' there for shore! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
.......

Good job you guys, <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/xmassmiley.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

My compliments to the writers of this guide! It's a masterpiece.
How about really printing this book and selling it? I'd buy it for sure. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/kitty.gif" alt="" />

I've updated the guide to version 1.2, with the help of Raze and Rincewind. I've added Raze's graph showing experience vs. level to the mathematics section. Rincewind has gone through all the pages in the search for typos and inconsistencies and found enough to make it a lot of work to add them.

Anyway, the new guide is available at the same link.

aye, that's great news, Myrthos. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

& good to see u here as well. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> hope u're doing great, as well as the dudes in RPGdot. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

Great! Thanks a lot, Myrthos! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

link doesnt work for me can someone post a mirror to the guide?

The link is currently working. It may have been down temporarily, or there was a problem somewhere between you and the Locus Inn site.

i tried some anonymous browsing sites and it worked. their host most likey blocks traffic comming from my country . Can anyone put the file on rapidhare.de please since i cant download with anonyomus sites?

Are you sure the problem is not with your browser configuration, or a firewall / popup blocker setting? (ie you may be able to get to the main page for The Locus Inn, but not any of the pages with a referrer (a '?') in the URL) I have javascript, etc disabled in IE, so there are some site that only work properly in Firefox or Opera.

great thanks guys! Appreciate your hard work

I've moved The Locus Inn from the RPGDot server to the RPGWatch server. As the RPGWatch software is completely different from the RPGDot software the link to the strategy guide has been changed to: http://www.locusinn.com/show/infopage?infoid=6&gameid=175

I can't edit the first post to change the link, perhaps Lynn can do that.

I changed the link Myrthos, should be fine now.

Thanks

This guide is awesome , thanks for keeping it up !
