Yeah, I spent what felt like *forever* in chapter 3 and then chap 4 is so amazingly tiny...

Since I'm alternating games, you'll probably be way ahead of me after a week.

Man, the demon guarding the portal is tough. I tried two or three times and I don't think I had him down to half points before he killed me. And that includes gulping healing potions every couple of seconds.

Gonna hafta rethink strategy for this big fellow. He better drop some *really* cool stuff for all this work.

Where are you? I'm escorting a girl and a ghoulish looking guy right now. We are on our 3rd stop I believe. It seems much more difficult and a lot more fighting than the original Sacred.

I just discovered that I can give health potions to the folks I'm escorting and weapons too. Man do I feel stupid. I really could have used that during Sacred.

Ana

It is Ana, the respawn is horrible in Underworld..it really lost my interest after a few quests..but others trudged on and finished..

good luck

Ingie

I was stuck in the first dungeon, looking to release Vila. The demon in that room was very tough (but somewhat dead now).

Got a piece to one of the special Seraphrim armor sets. I had one of them already, but this one is much higher level and better.

You still playing Pib? I'm stuck in this land of wooden walkways with these annoying fairies that dart around. I finished the quests there and need to get farther up on the map but I can't find a way out. I'm getting weary of being shot at!

Ana

I'm alternating between Sacred Underworld, Divine Divinty and Morrowind. This means progress on all three games is even slower than usual. So I haven't found the annoying fairies yet, but today is a Sacred day so who knows?

I may still be there whenever you get there Pib, so I can wait. I quit for the night because it wasn't fun anymore and since they are all ten levels higher than me I'm going through so many potions that I won't have any left. I think I hit the annoying part, I've been fine till now.

Ana

I'm busy wading through a million dead pirates. Horrible, a cave with a demon I didn't expect.

I thought there were a lot of areas it was hard to move in Ancaria but the Underworld is brutal. The enormous amount of them on you at a time is just insane. And the fact that you can't ride past them because they put spells on you to freeze your movement while they come running from a mile away is not helping any. The area I'm in is the next one after you finish the 3 pirate islands. Hope to see you soon.

Better lady than me gunga ana..
I couldn't handle the constant battling and respawning..this just wasn't as good as Sacred Plus, plain and simple-happens like that sometimes...hope they "hear" folks..

Ingie

I couldn't finish Sacred Underworld either, and it's a shame because the graphics and storyline are both fantastic. I finally gave up in the druid area with my mage, and in the pirate cave area with my demon.

The respawning was what did me in. Hopefully their next game will be better, if they do one.

Jean

I was really hoping for some encouragement here and instead I feel doomed. I've never given up and I can't start now so I guess I will plod through alone.

Ana

Hey, I'm still behind you! Just a bit out of sync is all. I just wish I didn't have this pirate following me into the demon cave. Survival on my own is bad enough. Trying to keep two alive is not fun.

If this is the monster level and respawn rate for a Bronze game, I would hate to try the Gold and above levels!

Encouragment, you got ana and Pib..



Kill the nasty beasties..


kill the nasty beasties


Go, Go, Go ana and pib
...Yea boomers

Thanx Ingie! I just reached my next destination. It seemed like a lost journey but I made it back to civilization. Bless you Pib if you can make it through the Upper area faster than I. Now I have monsters that dance ballet when you aren't dueling them. It is quite humorous to watch.

Onward and upward I go.....everything in my path must die!

Ana

The seraphrim has this one ability which creates swirling light around her which damages the enemy. I *just* discovered the other day that I can cast it on my companions. Makes them more effect and less likely to die.

When not facing major demons that is.

Thanks Ingie! With encouragement like that, how can we fail?

Well.....I just finished the Underworld Campaign. Whew....I hope never to come across such viscious attacks again. It's enough to cause nightmares.

How much more was there after the Druid place?

Jean

Congrats ana..

What's next?? I think Baldur's Gate would be a great game to play next!! Or NWN or Morrwind(this is huge game) or .... check out dark twisty.


Ingie

Wow, Ana, and there I thought I had just gotten close to you too.

Made it through the volcano to the surprise teleport from demon one to demon two and found myself in a forest.

Jean, which as the Druid place? Describe something to me. I don't do good on monster names sorry but I know the landscape well.

I promised my son I'd play Diablo II now. He's been waiting for over a year to play on line with me.

Pib, it'a really rough stretch with hardly any potions. I finally found a ring that increases chance of finding potions and I think I found less afer that.

Hi Ana:

I meant the place in the trees with all the wooden walkways. I think the mage and daemons have some quests that are slightly different. so you might not know. It's kind of hard to remember where I all got to, since I was doing a daemon at the same time.

You're a veteran rpg'er for sure, now, and you'll go down in our Hall of Fame for completing this one!

Hi Jean...that was what I called fairy land. Hated that place, that is where I got stuck and couldn't find my way out. I was there yesterday afternoon and I finished in about 6 hours after including doing some grueling side quests. If you made it that far you may as well finish but I have to say that the game gets seriously harder the closer you get to the end. Most times it was 15 to 1 and they all were 10 levels higher than me. Buy as many health potions as you possibly can and dump anything else, you will need it. The only way I made it was finding a teleporter into Purgatory and buying up all the health potions they had by revisiting about ten times. If I had not done that I would have failed. It's a great ending so if you can go for it.

Ana

I'm sorry to say I uninstalled the game. I can try playing again on my new computer when I get it, but will have to start my characters all over again in Sacred Plus. Maybe I will do that one day. I feel like now that I'm doing an action game with The Return of the King, I should be ready for anything (well, almost).
