well i have been playing this game for a while, although i never beat it due to my habit of "getting bored and restarting a brand new game"
here are some of my cheap tricks:
1, save/load, i think most players know this one. but the correct/boring way to save/load for a good item is explained in part 3.
2, Walker the Apothecary, how to kill him so you can get the key(in his back room) to Nericon's Garden? easy, you need to have a frog statue/shadow potion. lure 2~3 snakes(need to go around so the guards don't intervene) to his shop, use frog statue/shadow potion to drop combat, then WALK TO THE DOOR and stand directly inside the door, this way, Walker can't run out because you block the door, and he will get killed within a few minutes.
same technique can be used to fight multiple opponents in dungeons, when you have like 16 mobs on you, use the doors between adjacent areas to your advantage so that they have to stand in a line and fight you one at a time:)
3, how to kill lord seth really early in game(after you get the quest that asks you to talk to general alix of course)
u need a spider statue, the orcs have a chance of dropping it, or you can buy it from Ars Magicana in river town. use it, lord seth will become red to you, lure him down to the Ambush quest area, let him fight the drummer, since the drummer goes back to full HP every time you save/load, it is possible to keep saving/loading to wear Lord Seth down. when Lord Seth is low enough, let him kill drummer or you can help him kill drummer if you want exp, and then use spider statue again to lure the wounded Lord Seth back to the village, attack him and kill him and then quick save without picking up/mouse over the sword. then the long/boring loading would be something like this, Ctrl+L(or whatever your hotkey for quick load is), pick up his sword and let Joram(or any other merchant that can identify) identify it, if it's not good, then Ctrl+L, make sure you save good candidates(for example, 5 mana drain+60 magic).
4, to be continued, i will keep this post updated with new findings.
