Tip: In many areas there are roaming groups of creatures that can easily turn a
one-on-one fight into a three-vs.-one battle. In locations such as this, slowly
creep up on one of the villains and lead him or her away from the rest. This
will
ensure that the odds are always even. Another good tactic to remember is to hit
and run. Just remember to keep moving, especially when you see your foe about to
cast a spell. Ranged attacks using a crossbow or magic are a good way to soften
up an enemy before you engage in melee combat.
Tip: One of the most infamous spells in your arsenal has to be the gas attack.
Not only does it stun your foe, but also a direct hit sucks the life from them.
Using Pax to sedate your enemy and following up with gas can make short work of
many of the baddies you will be facing in no time. However, focusing on only one
discipline of magic redistributes the Seculorum in its favor, thus weakening the
other areas of magic. On the one hand, you become immune to magic attacks of
that
discipline; on the other, it leaves you terribly vulnerable to magic that is the
polar opposite of the one you are focusing on.
Tip: Occasionally you may notice that you are doing no damage while attacking a
creature. Don't fret--it doesn't mean that your character is necessarily weak;
it
just may mean that your method of attack is wrong. Take time to read weapon
descriptions and pay close attention to combat tips offered from NPCs. Skeletons
and gargoyles are weak to blunt weapons, such as clubs and maces, because they
have no flesh. Swords like Scimitars have a hard time penetrating armor. Knowing
your weapon and your foe is half the battle.
Tip: Once you have gained access to your hex, don't forget the areas that you
previously explored! Because your carrying capacity is limited, you often leave
valuable equipment behind that can be sold for a nice profit. Take time to go
back and send those items to Mulcuth! Shadowguard is the easiest place to sell
objects, as a hex is right down the street from a blacksmith. Though time-
consuming, this will ensure that your pockets are always lined with gold.
