The Lost Heir Trilogy

True point. Beating him is the best strategy either way.

Wait you can snatch the belt!? I had no idea!

Yep, all you need is agility or strength and you can take the belt.

You can use Magic too.

Yeah. When it gives you the option to take the hit and get in close after taking out the guards, do that. It costs you 50 health, but brings you to a menu with 4 or so options to snatch his belt and one to just stab him. Using strength, agility, or magic to snatch his belt then brings you to a menu where you can use your sword, dagger, unarmed, or magic (with no prerequisite scores on any of them) to insta-kill him regardless of his health. It’s what I usually do.

Typically I poison the food before the fight even happens, just so Thuja loses 25 health.
Edit: Also, what Starcraft Junkie said.

I prefer to talk or sneak my way into the banquet for the skill boost rather than poisoning the food, myself.

Meh. I’m usually an Assassin with 70 stealth before I even get to banquet.
Edit: Actually its been in between 50 for the somreth stronghold, and 70 if I choose to train it.

Hey guys, is there a way to delete old saves? I have so many saves (most of which I no longer need) it’s causing me problems when trying to load a save game in part two.

you can’t bud… unless you want to use a new email address and stuff… just use a special format for your save name to make things easier for you…

No way. Fists and magic are the best.

Magical monk FTW? XD . Well, in some wuxia stories and the like, those using martial arts can use’em for all sort sof things - almost like magic, such as curing poisoning, healing wounds in record time, etc…

My main alt is a Monk/Priest/Monk (Eye of Heaven)/Seer. Or in other words, she’s Kung-Fu Action Jesus.

As for the wuxia stuff, check out the Eye of Heaven.

That ki punch thing right? Not interested…

I named my monk Goku, and I’m just waiting for the ability to go super saiyan and destroy planets…

There are others options for ranger/druid, an alligator and a bear, and for Necromancer, a Shade.

The alligator’s a mount, and the bear’s an animal companion.

You can get different familiars based on where you start off in LH2, and you can get a different familiar when you take a wizard level in Ludd if you don’t already have one. If you become a necromancer, you can get an undead shade as a familiar (and replace any familiar you already have).

Rangers/druids follow a similar system for getting animal companions. Different ones based on starting location. I can’t recall if they can get one in Ludd if they didn’t get one earlier like a wizard.

Aren’t the animal companions familiars too?

Nah, they’re different, though I don’t think the game will let you have both. Druids/rangers get animal companions, and they’re always animals or very animalistic magical creatures of some form. Wizards and the necromancer get familiars, and they’re not necessarily animals, like the shade the necromancer gets, or the elemental familiars a wizard can get if he goes to the Norgan Mountains.

Nah, the game does let you have both. I had a griffin as a familiar. and an alligator mount at the same time.

I have trouble figuring out how to get my will up.
