    • Monster Names, Blocking, and More


      Is there a way to search the bulletin board?

      Do all the monsters have names? Is there a way to tell what their names are? There's a guy on each level of the tre house who answers questions about monsters, but I don't know their names.

      How do I know which monsters are undead?

      Do shields only help if your blocking?

      And I don't understand the purpose of blocking? Why would you stand there blocking rather than attacking? I always kill the monsters faster and suffer less damage if a attack continuously.

      Does it help to hold down the block key while clicking the attack key?

      What does mind protection do? I wish that and all the other statistics were explained in the manual.

      Using a bow and arrow is difficult. Is there a way to rotate in place without moving?

      I'm level 14, just got the key from the third level of the tree and am having trouble with the guys with the bloody swords in the crypt and the floating purple guys. They kill me fast.

      not that i know of

      yes and yes (but its asking arcangel cuz in the game, theres no way that you can find out who is who, with a couple exceptions, like minotaurs, cyclops, lilths, and dark spirits, those you hear about in conversations)

      umm you cant really, but if you want to know, the deathknights (skeletons with the flashy red sword), zombies (the guys who oooooooouuuuuu when the attack you), and dark spirits (the litle floating purple thingys) are all undead

      no, sheilds also boost your armor class

      in the beginning, its better to just hack away, but once you get better sheilds, they can block the full attack of things that would otherwise do you some pretty hefty damage

      yes it does

      mind protection helps you gain protection from creatures that attack you with their minds, like mindhunters (the little blue creatures, not the ones that look like medusa though, that have little blue whisker like things on the sides of their heads)

      yes, but its pretty hard, because you have to press the attack button repeatedly wjile pointing in the direction you want to face, either with the arrow keys or the mouse

      go up some more levels, you could try this (url="http://"http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/webboard/Forum61/HTML/000383.html#")www.AmbrosiaSW.com/webboard/Forum61/HTML/000383.html#(/url)

      Only monsters I recall around the tunnel were cyclops, mole spiders, and Forest Ogres

      If by "sugar bear" you mean the guys with the axes, then I think the baddie that's after your sugar crisp is an Ogre. If you don't have the Dwarven Runic Sword yet, then keep killing 'em until one drops an Ogre War Axe (cuz 10-40 damage ain't bad).

      The axe does not do 10-40. its a bug
      check your info and you see the true damage.
