Hi VHL, The quest to do the Maypole was a promotion quest for a Healer to become a Druid.
I played with 2 Gladiators, a Mage and a Lich.
The Mage and Lich could heal a little, and the Mage could cast Divine Intervention. I had my Lich cast the spell Souldrinker a lot too.
We did a lot of resting.

I don't remember if I found the bow or not. If I did, I sold it because I don't have it now.
Kay

Hi,

Oh that's right now I remember.

I have 2 Paladins a mage and a Priest in my party and 2 helpers.

So they all can heal even the paladins.

I don't have Grandmaster in I think Spirit to be able to use Divine Intervention yet. I do however have the spell handy for when I do get Grandmaster.

Well off we go to do battle in the war.

Your party is 12 levels above mine VHLMagic

I'm going with the traditional party (1 Paladin, 1 Priest, 1 Lich and 1 Assassin)

FWIW I had a Gladiator and a Paladin, and the Gladiator did about 5 times the damage of the Paladin.

Hi all,

You will catch up before you know it Smiley because I am going back and forth from this game to Gothic II which I got for Christmas.

You are doing great so hang in there.

I had a Gladiator the last time I played this game and decided to try Paladins because they have magic also.

Well that is the beauty of these games because you can try different stuff to see how it works for you.

Yesterday I played with Gothic II so didn't do much in this game.

Today MM9's turn hehe.

Hi all,

Well finishing up the last quests before we go looking
for the army we lost.

We have to first up level until we run out of money and
then go and kill ourselves to go to Arslegard (what I call heaven).

Do you know how hard it is to have to kill yourself at this point of the game? To just let yourself drown or jump off a cliff without featherfall? Really irritates me.

We will have to do some stuff first before we can arrive there but we are on our way.

Almost to the end of the game and starting to feel sad about it.


Oh

Nice going VHLMagic

I don't play it anymore, since my harddrive made the game do an error while I was saving where I was

Hi all,

Well made it through the Dark Passage yesterday.
Had to go back to Isle of Ashes (yet again) to
get the Writ of Fate.

We are now up in Arslegard and going to explore a bit before we start any quests there.

we are now 3 people at level 33 and one is 34.

Still don't have enough money to be able to
uplevel to where we should. I don't seem to
remember having this much trouble with not having
enough money and upleveling being so expensive before.

Oh Smiley.....sorry to hear that you won't be able to finish this game.

Guess its just me playing this one now unless you are still playing Kayc. Did you go and try to get the Dragon and how did you do?

Actually, I'm back in the game. I didn't notice that I had made an backup save

I've just made it to level 17 with 3 of my party members and one still at level 16.

How many times do I have to get promoted before my Scholar can become expert in Spirit Magic?

Hi VHL,
I got the dragon after several tries.
This is how I got him. After finishing the game, I sold most of my stuff and trained until the money ran out.
I gave my two Gladiator's 2 wands each of Poison Cloud. We ran up close to the dragon and the Gladiators kept using the wands, while my Lich kept casting Posion Cloud. Found my mage could cast Divine Intervention as many times as needed to heal and restore mana. When the dragon pushed us away, we would move back up close. Finally the dragon fell. Yay!
The spell Divine Intervention says you can only cast it once a day, but in the last room with the hard fight and in the dragon's cave, you could cast it all you wanted too. Don't know why, but sure glad you could. There was also new items in the 2 chests.

Hi Smiley,
My Scholar had to be promoted to Mage or Lich before I could train to expert in Spirit.
Kay

Darn, I still have a long way to go before my Scholar becomes a Lich

Which level was your part when you did the Chasm of the Dead?

Smiley, I don't remember what level I was at, but I had done the quests for all the Jarl's except Chasm of the Dead and Kill the Frost Giant. Those were the only 2 quests I had left to do when I went to the Chasm of the Dead. VHL might remember what level she was at when she did it. Good Luck!
Kay

Hi all,

Wow Smiley that is wonderful that you can still keep playing.

Oh Kayc.....the dragon thing makes me acually think that maybe I can get him and who knows....maybe I will even try to see if I can. hehe.

We are now being chased by a Mad God in the Tomb of 1000 terrors. Yikes!!!

My Priest can't for some reason train to Grandmaster to be able to use Divine Intervention and she has the number to 12 (I think). I will have to see if my Mage can train to Grandmaster or not instead.

Well it will take me a little while to get to the end of where I am and you can go out of there and sell and train anytime you want so will see how we do.

I don't plan on fighting the God anyway. I will just run to the lever and pull it so he traps himself.

I beleive this is what I did the last time I played anyway.

Hi all,

I don't really remember what level I was when I went to the chasm but the first time I was very low and didn't make it far in the open area but the second time I went I was maybe in the teens somewhere. (I think).

I just found the Poltergeist Armor in the Tomb of 1000 terrors in one of the 3 black chests located in a room to the south looking at the map.

This is already toward the end of the game and where was it when we needed it earlier?

Hi all,

Well still at it in the Tomb but getting closer to the end now. I am ready to go into the maze room and only have maybe 1 or 2 rooms left to go in this game.

Just couldn't get the Grandmaster for either my Mage or Priest to be able to cast Divine Intervention. Oh well, its a good thing I have scrolls for that incase I need them.

Looks like you'll finish the game before me

VHL, You sure are getting close to the end.
My mage was able to learn the spell Divine Intervention when she got to GM in Light, expert in Spirit, and normal in Elemental. You are so close to the end you probably can make it without the spell anyway.
Good Luck!
Kay

Hi all,

Well I did finish this game tonight.
I didn't need the spell Divine Intervention or the scrolls either.

You can't use Town Portal or Lloyds Beacon in the Tomb of a 1000 terrors but you can walk back out the way you came in so you can take a break from the horrid place.

You can also rest when your button is green but as in all of these MM games it is random for monsters to attack you while you rest so save first and keep reloading and trying to rest and you will be able to do that.

I will warn anyone going into this tomb to make sure you have awaken potion because my Priest was asleep and there is no awake spell and the purify spell did nothing for awakening.

I sold my awake potions earlier in the game and that was a BIG MISTAKE!!!

Congratulations VHL on finishing the game. You did great! I couldn't have finished the game without that spell. I enjoyed playing it, but I think M&M6 and M&M7 are my favorite.
Kay

way to go Magic, you rock

Ingie

Hi all,

Well Thank You both.

For some reason my mage and Priest couldn't get Grandmaster and I know they had the skill up to the number needed. Wonder why? Oh well could be a bug or something.

I didn't bother to play on the chess boards.
I just ran across both and on the last one kept running to the left side of the room where the lever was suppose to be and click on the wall.

I don't remember seeing the lever but clicking on the wall did the trick.

It feels sad to be done with the MM games for now but I will enjoy them again later at some point.

I guess I have to get myself going on Gothic II and Nibiru and Voyage that I got for Christmas now.

Magic,
Having not played a full game of M&M yet, so you know how far out this could be..but, was the intelect at what it had to be?
Found out in my Mage..his intellengence wasn't up to par..bought him some rings for fingers and bells for toes and bingo..made it!!

Ingie

Hi all,

Well....not sure Ingie about intelect and maybe that was it but it doesn't matter now anyway.

It was hard to tell if the trainers wanted anything other then the skills to be at certain numbers in this game.

I remember that in MM8 or was it MM7 that in order to get alchemay to Grandmaster you had to have one of each kind of Reagent available before that person would promote you so who knows what the problem was.

We made it to the end and that makes me happy.

Looks like I'm the only one left now.

Congrats on finishing the game tho VHLMagic

Hi all,

Thank You Smiley and yes you are alone but not really because we are still here to help if we can.

I just finished playing Nibiru and enjoyed that and finished it.

Now I am playing Voyage and also Gothic II and really enjoying them so far.

For some reason the games are so much more fun if others are playing them with you though.
