Thanks for the tip of pressing f1 to go to twilight town and the general store. Before this I was going back through every level I’d already past and it was taking ages to get between the level I was on and the twilight town and back to the level I was on.

HI,

This explains your dilemma. When Jason made the dungeon 25 levels deep,
after a while with all the dead corpses and items on the ground it made the
game incredibly slow and a very large data file. he then made it so that
when you leave a floor, it sweeps the floor clear of all fallen objects .
this includes corpses and any other items. So when you would walk back to
town via the stairs, once you had visited the floor and left, it was wiped
clean. So if you go to the 13th floor, and only step there, then go back to
12, the 13th floor is wiped clean. This means you loose all those scrolls,
potions, and anything else on the ground.

Now that you know you can use the F1 key to warp back to town, you shouldn't
encounter this problem any more.

The only exception is when you go from floor 2 to town. It doesn't wipe the
floor clean until you actually go to the 3rd floor. This way, if you want,
you can go back and pick up the 2 wolves to use their skeletons as cannon
fodder.

BTW, the message about using the orb with the F1 key is right after you kill
the 2 wolves. If your screen reader cuts this off, use SAPI for this
instance to get the full mesage.

Hello,
note, after pressing F1 all items will disappear on the ground even after you have just killed a creature. So in order to get items you need to exit the game and restart it. You can save, just not take anything.
Also, when playing a monk do you think Iron skin or hand to hand combat would be a better choice?
I found it strange that by far hand to hand has been hitting almost twice as hard as my legendary twins with this half ork monk... I have no idea why, but monks seem to like to punch things Smile with tongue out...
BTW I’m not seeing any good axes in the Bazar and my ogar needs a second axe so I can start adding to his axe prof.
Thanks,

What I do, and I don't know if this is cheatting or not, is save the game, then use the locate secrets scroll. Once I have a few steps (4N, 5E), I'll reload the game, move to the position that I've gotten, then save the game again before using the scroll again. If I do it like this, and in small steps, I can find the location and haven't wasted a scroll.
 
On a side note, I often save a game, then use the scroll on a completed floor. If nothing appears, I reload and go on. That way I don't waste the scroll on a floor with nothing to gain.

Yep, that's how I do it. Problem though is you've actually got to get at least one locate secret scroll, and the last three games I played, never found or had a single one for sale in any shops at all. I double checked the ones that won't identify, and none of those were locate secrets either. Pretty frustrating.

Hello,
What does the plague card do? I’ve herd people talking about it but I haven’t used it. I thought it was ratkin, but what else I’m not sure.
Also, does 2000 trade tokens get refreshed each time you restart a game? I am totally new to the Bazar!

Yes, plague card unlocks the ratkin race. It costs 2000 trade coins, but in my opinion isn't worth the cost. And when you buy it, at least from what I've read others say on the list that did buy it, it resets all your other unlocked cards, so you'll have to reunlock all the others again.
 
 No, you don't get trade coins just for playing. You have to sell good quality items that others will want to buy. If all you put up is a poor quality dagger and that kind of stuff, nobody will want anything from you.

Hi,

You've already been informed as to what the play card does, so I won't go
over that now.

As for the bazaar:

1. You only get 10 slots to fill, so keep them filled up if possible.

2. After a while, Jason will clean out the bazaar. Any item you've got that
has not sold in a while will be gone by him and your account credited.

3. No, the 2000 coins you get at the beginning is all. The coins will not be
renewed. You only get coins for selling items.

4. You cannot buy an item you have for sale. but if someone else buys it,
and puts it back up, you sure can buy it then.

5. The martial arts and crossbows categories are something that was never
implemented, so don't even look there for anything.

6. Currently, you can buy large swords, but no character can use them.

7. You can list long swords for sale, but no one can buy them since there is
no category for them.

8. Typically, magical items sell better than normal items.

9. Helpful suggestion: Once you buy something from the bazaar, go up to the
second floor and save your game. Go back to the bazaar and put that item up
for sale. Go back up and reload your game. You now have the item, and it is
back up for sale to get your trade coins back. You Can also list an item for
sale more than once.

just some helpful suggestions.

HTH.

HI,

For bucklers, just keep looking on the bazaar for them. But don't forget
about helmets, boots, gloves, and any other piece of armor you can get your
hands on. And don't look at the quality of a magical item. I have seen many
crude items have better stat boosting powers than much better quality items.
To me, I only look at how much does it boost, not the quality of the
material. Keep in mind this is for articles of armor that are of the same
material. If 2 items give the same boost, then I look at which one gives
better protection.

As for how fast can you get an ogre, that is determined by how many items
you find with speed in them, and how much it boosts it.

Here is a list of character statistics you might find useful or handy:

stat lists in descending order:

Strength

incredibly strong
very strong
strong
muscular
average
weak
frail

Intelligence

I can’t believe it, 6 times I’ve tried and 5 times I’ve been defeated [the only time I wasn’t defeated was because I quit once my wolf got charmed by the enemy]. I got a quest from the twilight town’s tavern to kill a group of hobgoblins on level 4 and can’t do it because they’re right at the bottom of the stairs leading down from level 3 to level 4.
 
The second I press full stop to descend the stairs my two chars are already dead because one of the enemy chars has ice blast and the game gives the enemy chars first shot at my chars.
 
I’ve tried using soothing song which made two of the enmy chars fall asleep but the third one doesn’t fall asleep and I’ve also tried using siren song which charmed the same two chars but not the third.
 
Does anybody have any ideas as to how I can defeat these damn hobgoblins? Any help tips would be most appreciated.

yess, lets first ask you afew questions.
give me all your characters abilities as well as there skill points.
second. remember this important tip. the aim of the game is not to get to the bottom of the dunjen  as fast as u can. no. u must completely explore each florr killing off enemies as you go.
why do I say this. because. as u kill more and more enemies, your expiriance level increases, and u get stronger, and u can add more abilities to your characters.
so if u did not do this as suggested above. go back to first floor and start mashing up those kave bats and so on.
hoe this helps?

Hiagain, just regarding using the doubling cheat, don’t. It might give you extra potions and scrolls, but I think it also weakens them since I just spent the last half hour fighting the drake in two times and lost both of them.
 
I was using ice blast, fire, shrink, web. Anything that I had in my inventory but it wasn’t doing anything to kill the drake.
 
When I cast a level 4 web, three quarters of the times the drake would just “refuse the spell” [As the game voice was saying"] and the ice blast, a level 2, 3 and 4 ice blast was only doing a minimum of 2 and maximum of 7 points damage the drake but it wasn’t killing him. The same goes for the shrink, it would keep him under the shrink spell for a small amount of time, but not long enough for me to cast two ice blasts at the drake.
 
Either the doubling bug was a weak bug or the drake was super drake.

It would help if we knew what your group was composed of. It seems that you have a bard, so that's good. Sleeping bad guys can be killed quickly with head shots, and head shots on sleeping characters are more often successful and lethal.
 
You'll never get all 3 bad guys, but if you have a web scroll or a slow scroll, you can use your non-bard character to use the scroll on the third character. If the scroll is successful, you'll do better and I've used multiples on them to restrain the two most dangerous.
 
Your wolf is a great asset, but also your biggest pain. It will always attack a sleeping character first, but the next attack, if done on the newly awakened bad guy can still be critically successful. Concentrate on the easy kills first and each one you take out vastly imporves your options for sucess.
 
I will say that the foot of the stairs on level 5 is the worst point in every game I've played. I have started a new game after 20 or 25 times of failure here, but this si the most common spot that you'll find a quest on that floor and it's a major pain in the rear.

The drake is always a super drake. It is the second hardest kill in the game and it takes more than a couple of good hits to kill it.
 
It's also magic resistant and low level scrolls are usually less powerful than a necro or mage with more levels in their skills, so you'll get less bang for low level scrolls.
 
When you deal with the drake, expect web scrolls, curse scrolls, even slow scrolls to not work but about 1 time in 3 and you can use scrolls by anyone in the group, so if you're just using scrolls by your mage, you're not using them well enough. The neck is the most vonerable area, so aim for it. Fire doesn't work on a drake too well, it breaths fire afterall, but it's suppose to be hard to kill and scrolls won't always help you with it.
 
You have to approach it with a strategy and it may take you a dozen attempts before you get lucky.
 
Harry

Sounds like you need to find some speed increasing items in the bazaar, or try to increase your party to give the enemy more targets, so that hopefully they will hit the skeleton or a summoned animal or something. 
Other then that, keep trying I guess and hopefully you will get lucky.

I think the only spell that works really well damage wise against the drake is the unholy light scroll. The drake is just  really heavily armored against the other physical damage scrolls. The web, shrink, slow spells work most of the time...but in the end, the only real way to kill that drake is plain old melee combat.

HI,

all magical properties are controlled by the intelligence of the character.
That is why Ogres don't make good magical characters, without a lot of
intelligence boosting items they are just too dumb. So if your magical
characters aren't doing much damage, either enlighten them, or boost their
intelligence.

as for the scrolls, those are a hit or miss proposition. Sometimes they
work, and sometimes they don't. If the fight doesn't go your way, reload and
try it again.

As it is pointed out before, fire and lightening does not work well on the
drake. Ice blast works really well, with harm working fairly well. Shrink
slow, and curse are great, along with web. Distraction, confusion, and
mystify work pretty well too.

Target the head, keep it shrunk if possible, and just keep trying.
Eventually the drake will succumb to your power and fall.

With the right tactics, and the help of many magical items and really good
weapons, I have been able to stand there and pick the drake apart. I target
the legs and wings, at which time it usually dies.

One time, I had a really fast fighter assassin. He acted first, jumped into
the shadows. Another character did something, then my assassin jumped out
and whacked the drakes head clean off.

Another time, I have been able to stand there with a really good character
holding a pretty good weapon. On the first move, target the head and drop
the drake like a hot potato. One move.

so it can be done. Just might take some practice to get used to what works,
and what does not.

Hello,
You obviously aren’t going for the head...
I had a level 10 Ogre Brawler and he had 2 axes. I grappled him, loaded all my specials for my other chars, shrunk the drake and next time my oar went I clicked attack and aimed for the head. On the second hit from my ogre's dual wield the drake was dead. He was easier than most mobs I’ve killed.
Thanks,

I've killed the drake with one good whack on the head, generally with a hidden fighter-assassin taking a go at it's head. It definitely helps to use web and/or grapple if you're lucky enough to have an ogre brawler too.

Hi, it isn’t that I’m not aiming at the head because I always aim for an enemies head, it’s just that when I aim for the head [holding down the 8 key and hitting enter], it’s just that either the drake moves or my chars aim is completely off because it doesn’t matter what char I’m fighting, goblin, ogre or the drake, 75% of the times it misses.
I could aim at the head, and my char hit’s the enemy char in the foot.
 
But on another note, what job goes well with the fortune teller?

The drake can move around quite a bit, that's why you use web scrolls or an ogre's grapple to plant him to the spot. Once you hold them still, your chances of hitting the head will go way up, otherwise you will tend to miss and either hit other parts or not even connect far more than you'd like.

Hello,
I’m wondering if anyone has gotten any good items from questing? Or is it rare? I’m on level 15 and I’ve done every quest and not seen any decent items that are better than what I have. I’m sitting on the 15th floor resaving and spamming the quests to see if I can land something good, but the best thing I’ve gotten is a decent chain leggings.

Yeah, I know. Most of the quest things that you get for completing a quest are pretty hopeless. I just past the tavern now and out of the 3 quests, the best thing they had was in one quest [113 gold, a dubious flaming cave bear leather hyde tunic of magic, and as usual, 2 unidentifyed potions and an unidentified potion.
 
Always seems to be an unidentified something in the quest rewards and normally [amazing not this time], there’s always some types of arrows involved and they’re usually poor, crude, dubious or something like that.
 
I haven’t seen a good reward for one of the quests in all the time I’ve been playing.

Hello,
I’m finding these lower levels super easy with this party, I’m KOing just about everything on the 18th and 19th floors, so I might just do the 25th floor with no armor and see what happens...
Next I plan on doing the whole thing with a ferry!
(It would be kind of cool if you could get a whole ferry party and ditch the other members without the army cheat...
After that I think I could probably make it to the 25th floor on hard mode but with the item multiplier with potions...
Random thing I found out, If you type x on a monster’s name it will tell you what monster it is, what it is wearing, its health and what major injuries it has. Really nice with named creatures.

Hello,
The lich isn’t very hard if you know how to fight it Smile with tongue out... (You ever wondered what the necromancer was for?) *Hint hint*!!!
BTW, I would like to know if there is a way to copy your party from the 25th floor and move them to the first floor using cheats? I want to get my buddy from the 25th floor and bring her back down... I just want to see what would happen... If there is no way to copy the party, the object would be in my inventory, so if there was a way to copy my inventory and give it to another character it would be cool too! Smile with tongue out

Entombed is way uneven and all in favour of the enemy chars.
 
I’ve currently got a quest for level 6 which I’ve done 6 times and died 6 times all without having a chance to even attack one of the 3 enemy chars.
 
The enemy chars are right at the bottom of the stairs leading to level 6 and the second I press full stop, one of them starts blasting my chars with fire [and I don’t mean once or twice, but five or six times in a row].
 
In one of the games where I got a chance to fire back with ice blast at the enemy chars, I hit one of them in the head, a direct hit with a healer/necro that has ice blast at level 4 of 5 and it done 27 points of damage but the game said it only did minor damage.
 
Now where the heck have you ever heard a char [goblin or hobgoblin] get 27 points of damage and only get minor injury with ice blast hitting them directly in the head?
 
Anyway, I’ve given up on that game. Going to start another since I could replay it 1000 times over and probably win 1 out of the 1000 [now that’s being really possitive about winning it].

Hi,

I've gotten thru with 2 fairies. And I do believe that someone did say they
had gotten a whole party of fairies.

Hello,
I�m finding these lower levels super easy with this party, I�m KOing just

about everything on the 18th and 19th floors, so I might just do the 25th
floor with no armor and see what happens...
Next I plan on doing the whole thing with a ferry!
(It would be kind of cool if you could get a whole ferry party and ditch the
other members without the army cheat...
After that I think I could probably make it to the 25th floor on hard mode
but with the item multiplier with potions...

Random thing I found out, If you type x on a monster�s name it will tell you

Hi all, just got entombed up and running again but I think the game has major troubles that need to be looked at by Jason Allan really soon.
 
I have the first version of entombed and since yesterday it done what ever it done while I was on level 23, I can’t play the game anymore.
 
For a start, to enter the entombed link on the desk top, I have to press enter on it two or three times before it opens and then it opens twice so I have to go and close one screen.
 
For seconds, the game doesn’t work like it did before what ever happened to it yesterday really stuffed it up for some reason.
 
I don’t know if it’s perhaps because I have the first version 1.2k or what ever it’s called, maybe if I upgraded it would work better, don’t know.
 
Could somebody please send me a link or a web address for where I can download the second version of entombed so I can see and compare between the two versions and see if the troubles originating with the version I currently have or not?

Hi,
I think you have become your own worst enemy here.
 
Entombed takes a long time to start, so you don't need to  enter on the entombed desktop icon more then once. Just be patient and the game will start in around 20 or 30 seconds top. If after that it still doesn't start then I would try pressing enter again.
 
In my particular situation, if I hit the entombed desktop icon to start a game, if I presss any other key, the game will start but the focus will be off, so I alt tab back to the game and that resolves that particular issue.
 
Secondly when reading in another post, you said you removed the all players folder. That was a bad idea. That folder holds all your game preferences and data in it. If you take that out of the saved games folder and made another game or tried to reload the old game you are going to have problems.
 
To update tot he full game, you  should go to your account option listed in start menu, input user name and password and it will update you to the full game if you  bought it, which you must have purchased it  and updated it already to the full game since you have gone above level 14.
 
However, if you removed that all players  folder, you just screwed up the game, and  so you might just have to go thru the update process again. Really, you shouldn't mess with the folders like that.  
 
The 1.05B test is the latest version and while lots of people have problems installing it, I think  once that is  accomplished, it is the best version available.
 
The problem is that if you  install another version of entombed onto the same computer, what you will have is  both of your games will use the same saved games folder to  put all the folders in. That means you will have to sets of  all players folders, each one to a separate game version. There is a way to figure out which is which but I don't remember what it was.
 
Also saved games files don't transfer between the two versions so you can't cross over the saves between versions, although I think someone worked out that problem too.
 
If the game is that screwed up, maybe you should  uninstal it, delete the saved games folder, reinstal the game, update it to the full version again, and start from scratch.

I was actually told by somebody else on this chat forum to move the all players folder to another folder for some reason which I can’t remember now. But since I’d started a new game I thought why should I move it now? It won’t help with the old game I was playing. So I put it back, but in the wrong place. Now I’ve checked the folder up, found that there were two all players folders, deleted the one that I’d moved previously and things are back to normal.

HI,

That was me who suggested to make a backup copy of the all players folder,
just in case.

During game play, I will make a backup folder of the all players folder as I
go. Usually about the end of each level. This way in case I mess up, or the
game crashes, I can just load in the saved game files and resume away. I
usually keep about 2 or 3 past floors just in case.

Ok, well good. Glad you got that going again.
I guess I misunderstood moving a folder with creating a back up copy and moving that. Sorry for the  misunderstanding.

No problems. I’d just forgotten who’d sent me the email until Richard Sherman wrote.
