Hint: Forest: When you reach the forest where you encounter Frost
Elves, only use fire magic, weapons, or ranged attacks. They are
strong in close combat. When you reach the part where you are
supposed to slay three mages, one of them is on the other side
of the river, guarded by six or seven close combat elves and two
or three archers. lars uppling.
Hint: Better rewards: This trick works in two scenarios. The first is when
completing a quest at the original quest giver or at the end of
an event where you talk to someone with an "!" above
their head. Quick Save before you talk to that person then see
what reward is given, Quick Load if it is not to your liking.
It appears as if some will have a better drop table while others
will give gold most of the time, with a rune or item dropped at
a rare rate. This works for nearly all quest ending conversations
as there are a few that give a set item(s). The second scenario
is when defeating a rare monster, identified in gold lettering.
Quick Save just before the coup de grace and if you do not like
what it has, then Quick Load and repeat. The rarer and tougher
the monster, the better loot table. Tony Firch.
