PS: Other questions:
1) I found a "saphire key" a while ago, but I can't remember what it is used for... anyone?
2) When you go north somewhere near the Dwarven Bread Inn, you encounter 3 thugs on the road. I remembered that you can talk your way out of there by acting rough, so I did that... or is it better to kill them for more XP (17K instead of 6K)
3) Where can I find the cat again?? You know, the one you can 'talk' to ^^
1) I remember is a blue saphire key with a head that looks like clubs (the sign on regular cards). That one is used to open a door in the catacombs, level 1 (and thats where you get the key). When you enter level 1 of the catacombs through its entrance, and go through the first door, you'll come across another wich you cant open. That saphire key is for that door. It doesnt take you to anywhere special, that door just allows you to go back to the entrance quickly rather than going up the smelly halls and then down. You'll know what I mean once you try it. That is if this is the saphire key youre talking about. And you gotta be a little more specific dude, you know what I mean?.
2) Well, this you have to decide for yourself really. If you meet them too early in the game and you think youre not powerful enough then dont mess with them. But if you got "Bat of Striking" from the catacombs (level 5), in a chest I believe . That weapon has frost. That way, if you're weak yet, you may have a chance to bet them. To make it easier just put dexterity or vitality charm(s) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shhh.gif" alt="" />.
3) Since you've seem him you must have gone into the castle (unless seeing him in the intro movie counts lol). After that, you see him again when you get out of Iona's dungeons, from level 1, which will lead you into the graveyard in Rivertown. i also read in a walkthrough that youll see Arhu (that cat) and Zandalor together when you enter the westlands. Other than that I dont know.
