Game Guide & Walkthrough For The Circle of Eight Modpack NC

Do not post replies in this thread! If you have any questions and/or comments, then post them elsewhere in the Temple of Elemental Evil forum.

Before you install or play the Circle of Eight Modpack, read The Circle of Eight Modpack Explained thread at the following link:

http://www.co8.org/forum/showthread.php?t=7737

Before you begin playing the game, disable the following preferences in the options menu (because these options are enabled by default and ruin the game when enabled. You now end a character's turn during combat by pressing the space bar):

Concurrent Turns

End Turn after Default Action

1. Circle of Eight Modpack 7.8.0 NC and patches

The computer game The Temple of Elemental Evil is available to buy from Good Old Games at the following link:

http://www.gog.com/gamecard/the_temple_of_elemental_evil




The official Atari patch 1 and official Atari patch 2 are available to download from the following links (note: do not install the patches if you are using the GOG version of the game because it is already patched):

http://www.sorcerers.net/Games/dl.php?s=ToEE&f=../Games2/ToEE/TOEE_PATCH1_ENU.EXE

http://www.sorcerers.net/Games/dl.php?s=ToEE&f=../Games2/ToEE/TOEE_USA_ANY-PATCH2.EXE




The Circle of Eight Modpack 7.8.0 NC is available to download from the following link:

http://www.moddb.com/mods/circle-of-eight-modpack/downloads/circle-of-eight-modpack-780-nc




"Noise Bug: A low emitting beeping sound starts to emit in the Moathouse Dungeon and Moathouse Respawn. It occurs when the party enters the Bugbear chambers and goes through the Gnoll area, Crayfish Pool to Lareth Chambers. However, the noise stops when you exit the pentagram floor room before you exit to the Moathouse Cave Exit."

Deleting them will have no adverse effects on your game.



The following patch fixes a bug with Wakefield if you side with the Hextorites during the War of the Golden Skull. If you don't plan to play an evil party, then you don't need to apply the patch:

2. How to uninstall obsolete versions of the Circle of Eight Modpack

Each modpack has three files associated with it: a .tfm file, a jpg file, and a .txt file. Delete all three.
Using Co8 5.9.3 as an example, they'll look like this:
Circle of Eight Modpack 5.9.3 BETA.jpg
Circle of Eight Modpack 5.9.3 BETA.tfm
Circle of Eight Modpack 5.9.3 BETA.txt
Make sure any modpacks you delete in this fashion are not active.
You can delete the related 'docs' folder and its contents for each modpack the same way if you want to.
3. Optional portraits

For additional portraits and the instructions on how to install them, click on the following link:

4. Optional cutscenes

There are 6 optional videos in total, ranging in duration from 20 - 40 seconds each and providing introduction to first arrivals at various locales throughout the game that up until now have been strangely void of such formalities.

If you're using Co8 7.X, simply extract to your ToEE root directory. The control files should already be installed with the Co8 mod.

Note that this is a 72 MB download.

5. Things that cause the game to crash to desktop or lock up or that cause jerkstop

NEVER rest on a random encounter map! (it causes the game to crash to desktop).

DO NOT under any circumstances select Weapon Focus: Hand Crossbow for a starting character! The first time you access the character's inventory screen your game will CTD.
  • Some players have reported that if they select the 'disable intro' option in TFE-X, then their game freezes within a few seconds of loading the game's main menu. If this happens to you, then you need to select the 'enable intro' option in TFE-X. Circle of Eight forum member Rocktoy reported that pressing Alt Tab got his game working again after it froze at the game's main menu.

  • Some players' games crash the instant that they try to leave the start shop (i.e. when they activate the portal). If this happens to you, then it means that your computer has a problem playing the game's cutscenes. You solve the problem by either disabling 'scaling' in your video card's driver software or by renaming all of the .bik files in your \data\movies folder within your Temple of Elemental Evil game folder (if you rename all of the .bik files, then you'll miss out on all of the cutscenes during the game, but at least you'll be able to play the game).

  • Saving the game during combat may cause the game to crash to desktop. But don't worry, the game will save the game successfully before the game crashes to desktop.

  • The game will crash to desktop if the name is too long for an item that you attempt to craft. When crafting items, always keep item names relatively short.

  • Opening the Logbook interface and then left-clicking on a different tab (e.g. "Hommlet & Verbobonc", "Nulb", or "Temple") than the tab that is currently active in the Quests interface may cause the game to crash to desktop.

  • When quitting the game from the game's main menu, the game may crash to desktop. I believe that this does not have any adverse effect on your game.

  • The game may crash to desktop the instant that you kill the Balor Guardian. If this happens, then you will just have to redo the combat until the game doesn't crash during the combat.

  • The game may sometimes lock up in the Fire Node, Air Node, and Earth Node. The game may sometimes temporarily lock up or slow down in the Fire Temple, the large corridor above and to the left of the Water/Air/Fire Temples, and the Greater Temple (i.e. the Temple of Elemental Evil dungeon level 4).

  • It has been reported by 2 players that the game may crash when changing maps or getting random encounters while the spell Mordenkainen's Faithful Hound is in effect.

  • Repeatedly using the Hommlet signpost may cause jerkstop.

  • Jerkstop may happen when your party exits the Inn of the Welcome Wench in Hommlet, or when you use the world map to travel to South Hommlet.

6. Minimizing problems with the game

Originally posted by Ham08:

After spending days trying to figure out the graphic glitch issues I was having (Invisible characters/textures not loading/only see the blue ring at their feet/flickering/flashing, etc.), to fix the graphic glitch problem I had to use an older Nvidia driver (275.33) instead of the newest at this time (296.10). I mention that fact in case someone else is having the same issue. Sometimes using older drivers fixes problems that were introduced with the newest ones.

I found that if I just choose "update driver" from the device manager it will miss the latest update, but a manual download gets it.

Now, I have an nVidia 480GTX but I was facing the same troubles and had rolled back my driver until the new one, (out now) was released.
Keep a LOT of game saves in case this computer game corrupts all of your game saves from a certain point in the game onwards. That way, you can roll back to a game save that isn't corrupt and continue playing the game without having to redo too much of the game, and without having to reactivate the game and start the game all over again.

As soon as you experience a malfunction while playing this game, it is advisable to immediately quit the game, then either reboot your computer (for added safety) or just run the game (making sure that you have the option Clean Game Cache On Startup activated in the Options menu of the ToEE Front-End X), and then load your last game save before you experienced the malfunction.

During the War of the Golden Skull, a character in your party may cause combat to pause indefinitely if that character fires a missile weapon during combat. If this happens, then the only way to get the combat to start working properly again is to go into the currently selected character's inventory and drag any potion or a Rope of Entanglement (or any other usable item) that is in that character's inventory over to the Use an item button. You'll get a pop-up error message stating that the item can't be used, but the combat will start working properly again now.

There is a known bug with using metamagic feats with a multiclass character that has more than one spellcasting class. See the following link for the details of this bug:

During combat, if the characters in your party can no longer move at all during their turn, then save the game, quit the game, run the game again, and load your game save. This will allow all of the characters in your party to be able to move again during that combat.

If any of the characters in your party come under a permanent effect of a spell (e.g. Hezrou Stench) or permanently have their speed reduced when it shouldn't be, then have such affected characters talk to Jaroo Ashstaff (Druid) (in the tree-house which is building #9 in Hommlet) and talk to Jaroo about "spell permanency". Jaroo will then kill your character and resurrect your character (which will hopefully cure your character from the spell permanency or speed reduction).



If you have a stack of spell scrolls (that are all the same spell) and use one of those spell scrolls, then the entire stack of scrolls will most likely disappear.

Having an NPC in the left-most position in the party order along the bottom of the screen causes quests not to appear or get updated in the logbook.

Players don't follow the general guidelines and do things like save during combat (which is one of the few things that can make your game go bad).


The black-robed undead wizard spawns when either the blue-robed undead wizard or the red-robed undead wizard has been killed. If you command the blue-robed undead wizard and/or the red-robed undead wizard and don't kill them, the black-robed undead wizard will never spawn.

If the Master of the Arena doesn't reappear automatically, first try walking around the map where he normally stands. If that doesn't work, save and reload and he should pop back up.

The only basic things I can recommend for as trouble-free play as possible are:

- don't use the console.
- make sure that when you activate a module, it is completely activated before you do anything else (TFE-X will tell you).
- don't goof around with anything else while a module is being activated (don't browse the internet, play games, run other apps, etc.).
- don't save during battles (and then reload from those saves, more importantly). If something goes wrong in the save routine (much more likely during combat for whatever reason), then all it takes to screw you over permanently is one save and one reload that you then go on to re-use with subsequent saves, etc.
- don't self-mod unless you know what you're doing.

The combat stance is actually the default stance for an inactive mob, so that's normal. You don't normally notice it except in towns, where fog of war has been disabled. (You wouldn't be able to see inactive mobs otherwise.)

The AI can only handle 32 combatants (including your party) at a time. In battles where there are more, the excess enemies wait around until a spot opens up in the queue from a death.

When some spells are cast, they create a 'spell object' to execute scripts associated with the spell. They're normally invisible and just lie on the ground, then get turned off. (The crash problem is probably arising from the object being turned off but your inventory thinking it's still there.) Don't pick anything like that up off the ground if you can avoid it.
Shiningted's fix for removing permanent "spell objects" from PCs' inventories:

Extract to data folder (it has a dlg and py folder & file) or install them manually. Then go and talk to the cowherd (the guy who sells cheese) and follow the conversation: this should get rid of the spell object. This [fix] only works on PCs. If the [Hezrou] Stench persists after that, see Jaroo [to have the spell permanency removed].

Once jerk stop appears it tends to get progressively worse.

1. Save frequently, of course. When you get to level 4-5 (about the time you clear the moathouse) start saving before you enter the south Hommlet area. If jerk stop appears, revert immediately to your previous save. Don't "play through" the jerk stop.

2. If it keeps happening when you revert to save, then leave Hommlet for a while and return later. (This also works for CTDs in Nulb that sometimes occur in mid-game.)

3. Move your base of operations to Nulb as soon as you can.

Regarding the signpost, using it hasn't been a problem in my experience. I just completed a full game in 6.0.1 NC with no jerk stop at all, except for one instance where I exited the inn and the party was frozen in combat pose and could not move. I reverted to save and had no more problems at all, even though I did a LOT of running around Hommlet, even in the late game, and used the signpost frequently as well.

When I experience jerkstop on exiting the inn, I can revert to a save from immediately before exiting the inn, visit a different level of the inn (basement or second floor) and then exit without a problem.

To optimize game integrity following the (basically inevitable) use of console, do everything you can that you want to accomplish with your console at the start of a completely fresh game start (one that is started with newly created characters, and with -no- saved games). Then once you've changed your party speed, or started your rogue with masterwork tools or your bard with an elvish shield, then make -one- saved game BEFORE you leave the starting shop, and even before you buy anything, quit the game completely, then start it up with an fresh empty cache (you'll want the 'clear game cache' option on the front-end enabled). Then do your best to not use the console again. If you -do- use the console once into your game, make your changes, then completely quit out of the game, then reload the game. It takes a little extra time when you do this, but I have found with the endless repeated playing of this game that regular restarts (with console use or not) dramatically decrease CTD's or other bugs. The game just seems to like a clean cache. Starting each new game with no prior saved games also seems to help dramatically. Every now and then in the game you may come across a minor graphics anomaly or some other strange little bug that does not seem to effect your game play at all, and go away when you go through the little blue door or staircase, but these are the perfect times to restart your game then proceed, as these little bugs may start to 'add up' until you have bigger problems.

How to remove a PC from your party if you have more than 5 PCs in your party:

Originally posted by Sitra Achara:

You can open up the console, and type

game.party[X].destroy()

Where X is the PC's index, starting from 0 for the leftmost PC.

[Regarding the random encounters where you receive rewards for rescuing Sargen, Prince Thrommel, & Countess Tillahi:]

Re. reward encounters, it's generally 2-3 weeks. Sargen's encounter takes place after 3 weeks, and the others 10 days or 14 days. You must visit the place where they ran off, for the timed event to trigger. If you've rested for over a month and still haven't gotten them:
1. Try going back to the place where they were set free / first encountered.
2. It's possible the timed event failed (that happens sometimes). In that case the only way is to trigger it manually.

The Combat Queue has a limit of 32 participants. Meaning, if there are more than 32 people engaged in combat, your party included, the ones who are 'outside' the queue will just stand there until the queue has space.
If you discover a secret door icon but don't use the secret door to travel to another map, then you can't find and use the secret door on the other map that the secret door that you found leads to.

If you are unable to find any secret doors in the game and you want to get the Orb of Golden Death, then you will need to cast Clairvoyance and Dimension Door to access the Orb of Golden Death.

In order to loot corpses that are underwater, you have to observe the circular water ripples that randomly trigger just above where corpses are underwater, then move your mouse pointer slightly down from where the circular water ripple originated from and hopefully the corpse will be highlighted so that you can click on the corpse to loot it.

Another bug with War of the Golden Skull...

I do not know if this was covered before.

Situation: A Bearded Devil enters the Elementalists invisibility sphere. I move a PC which comes close to the BD and gives the BD an attack of opportunity. The attack of opportunity never ends. The BD just keeps on hitting until the PC is dead. Whether it is 3 hits or a hundred, it just keeps looping until the PC is dead, then everything seems to come back to normal. I am not 100% positive if the situation I described triggers the bug, but it has happened a total of 4 times now. The last 3 were as I described but I cannot remember exactly what happened the first time as it was something new.

7. How to increase the non-combat running speed of your party

While in the game (not the game's main menu, but when your character(s) are in an area in the game world), open the console by pressing Shift ~

Type the following lines (press the Enter key after you've typed each line):

from Co8 import *

speedup()


Close the console by pressing Shift ~

Originally posted by Sitra Achara:
Quote:
I've set the function to read user preference from a file -

speedup.ini, located in \modules\ToEE.

The file should contain a single number between 1 and 6 -
1 being the old speedup() value,
6 being even faster than what I posted before ("don't blink or you'll miss it").
2-5 are inbetween.
8. Game saves

Originally posted by Gaear:
Quote:
You can't use saves between different modpack versions (e.g. 7.3.x vs. 7.4.x). You can however use them between modpack versions and their patches (e.g. 7.4.0 and 7.4.1).



There should be six files in each save. Here's an example of a save in my game called "Worldmap."

slot0014.co8
slot0014.tfaf
slot0014.tfai
slot0014l.jpg (this is an image file)
slot0014s.jpg (this is an image file)
slot0014worldmap.gsi

Note that the internal 'name' ("slot0014" above) has to be the same for each.

I can tell you what I experienced when moving the game from my PC to Laptop and back. I found not all saved game info is in the "Saves" folder. Specifically, the Extraplanar Chest contents wouldnt transfer for me. And some of my Saves would load to a Black Screen with plenty of sound but nothing else.

I tried copying a few more files but found that to insure my saves and all content transferred correctly I ended up copying nearly the whole game directory. This takes way too long to download and transfer from XP to USB to Vista so I found another solution:

Get yourself a nice 4GB USB jump drive. I had a handy little key chain one I used for work. These can be found for $10 at Wally stores. Copy the ENTIRE Temple of Elemental Evil folder over to your USB drive AFTER you have installed, patched, and modded it then activated the Front End and begun the game. You may have to do it piece by piece (being copy all the files but not Folders under the main directory then copy over each folder separately). The main thing is to be sure you got it all. Right click the main folders and select "Properties" then compare the "Size on Disk" for both.

Now when you want to play, insert your USB drive and navigate to the Temple folder and click on toee.exe and you are set.

You can even set shortcuts for the USB drive files on your desktops. I recommend removing the original shortcuts and any Start menu items to avoid confusion. And be sure to regularly backup your USB to prevent total loss just in case you lose or damage the usb stick.

The point is that the game doesnt need to be locally installed to work on any XP or newer computer. All you need is the files contained in the "Temple of Elemental Evil" directory and you can play using any rewritable memory stick.

The game will play without issues right from your flash drive and when you move from one comp to the next its as simple as popping your memory stick out of one and into the other. No copy/paste and no game losing errors. Your saves and all game data move with you.

Re: game guide & walkthrough for the Circle of Eight modpack NC



9. The order that you should do things in the game

Welkwood Bog is designed to replace the FedEx quests in Hommlet. Completing Welkwood Bog will give a party of 5 (level 1) characters (starting with 0 XP) just about enough XP to reach level 2. Welkwood Bog is designed for level 1 characters.

The following is a guide for an approximate order to play the game in (you can go to Nulb and Verbobonc any time that you want - some of the quests in Nulb and Verbobonc are easy, others are extremely difficult):

1. any quests in Hommlet that you can be bothered doing
2. Welkwood Bog
3. Deklo Grove (talk to Tarim (Woodcutter) at building #3 in Hommlet)
4. Moathouse (if you are finding the gnolls, bugbears, or Lareth & his guards too difficult, then clear out all of the skeletons at Emridy Meadows first)
5. Nulb (leave the Nulb house ambush until later if you don't have an uber party; leave the duel with Tolub until your character is at least level 6)
6. Emridy Meadows (talk to Terjon in the Church of St. Cuthbert in Hommlet) (leave the Hill Giant until your characters are level 6)
7. Hickory Branch (leave Lord Hungous and the Fiendish Minotaur until later)
8. Arena of Heroes (leave the second & third contests until later if you don't have an uber party)
9. The Temple of Elemental Evil (broken tower & dungeon levels 1-4)
10. Imeryds Run (talk to Grud Squinteye in Nulb)
11. Verbobonc (leave the 'Contract on Canon Thaddeus' quest, 'Monster Mash' quest, and 'The Slave Traders' quest until later)
12. Moathouse Respawn
13. Earth Node (brown teleporter) & Air Node (white teleporter)
14. Zuggtmoy's prison
15. 'Contract on Canon Thaddeus' quest (for evil parties only)
16. 'Monster Mash' quest
17. 'The Slave Traders' quest
18. Water Node (aqua (green/blue) teleporter)
19. Fire Node (red teleporter)
20. War of the Golden Skull
21. 'Demons & Demigods' quest

Temple Levels 2 and 3 .......................................... Level 10 (with Mel and Elmo)
Temple Level 4 (except for OMG !! Fight ) ............. Level 11 (with Mel and Elmo)

I should point out that I cleared the Broken Tower at the Temple either at 4th or 5th Level, definitely no higher than 6th Level. As has been pointed out there are some fights early on that can be challenging, unless you are either properly prepared, or lucky, or both. The Deklo Grove for instance can be done at first Level (it helps to have either a Wizard or a Sorcerer with 2 "Sleep" spells), but it's tricky (especially if the bad guys get the initiative). Some of the fights in the Moathouse can be challenging too, and one of the toughest fights in the game (at least in my opinion) is at Imeryd's Run (you get that quest in Nulb).

When you first arrive in Verbobonc, there are two buildings with enterable doors nearby. Go into them. I guess I sort of assumed that the first thing most players would do is go into City Hall, and the first thing they would do there is talk to Captain Absalom, who among other things will tell you all about the city, as well as how to navigate it via the signpost, and the signpost's location.

As it stands right now, your best path is probably to do all the pre-Verbobonc NC as it comes, and finish everything in vanilla as it comes except the Fire Node and Zuggtmoy's lair, then do Verbobonc, and work in the Fire Node somewhere, and do Zuggtmoy last (because the game ends at that point).

As of the NC version of v7, the game no longer ends when you kill or banish Zuggtmoy. The game instead goes on. This was done so that you don't have to front-load all the NC content before fighting Zugg (which usually results in a desultory affair in dealing with her).

To end the game now, do like you always do when wondering about something: talk to Brother Smyth about it. If the story state has advanced to where you have learned of Zugg (the final state), you will be able to tell Smyth that you want to end the game. He will oblige, and then all the usual stuff will happen - endslides et al.

Also note that as of now this means that if you kill Brother Smyth, you won't be able to end the game. This process will most likely be refined in the future.

The standard version of the game/modpack still ends when Zugg is killed or banished.

Starting with Co8 v7 NC, the game no longer ends when Zuggtmoy is killed or banished. This is so that you can go on to play higher level new content and not artificially wait on Zuggtmoy until later when she is no longer a challenge. Following is a list of all of the possible vanilla Zuggtmoy endings and what will happen in your NC game for each. Be forewarned and play accordingly!


You kill Zuggtmoy

Outcome: The Zuggtmoy death movie plays and you are left standing there to continue the game.



You banish Zuggtmoy

Outcome: The Zuggtmoy banishment movie plays and you are left standing there to continue the game.



You join forces with Zuggtmoy (you are evil)

Outcome: THE GAME ENDS. You can't add Zuggtmoy as a follower and expect the game to be at all normal after that, so that's it.



You give Zuggtmoy the Orb of Golden Death willingly and become her thrall and you are a one man party

Outcome: THE GAME ENDS. (Parties of two or more fight her - this is vanilla.)



You take the gems in the throne

Outcome: The Zuggtmoy banishment movie plays and you are left standing there to continue the game. If you steal the gems without talking to the old crone first, she will disappear.



Zuggtmoy submits to you (you are evil)

Outcome: THE GAME ENDS. You can't add Zuggtmoy as a follower and expect the game to be at all normal after that, so that's it.



Zuggtmoy surrenders to you, gives you a bunch of treasure, and runs off

Outcome: Not sure yet ... much of the treasure mentioned doesn't actually exist ("ring of feather falling"), but there's no reason not to go on. We'll probably do a cash dump and continue.
10. Where to get the most money when selling items

Originally posted by mmonagle:

As far as Hommlet vendors go, I pulled the following list from the InvenSourceBuy.mes file:

1 Buy nothing
2 Buy anything (but at reduced price)
3 Buy magic
4 Buy cloth armors
5 Buy leather armors
6 Buy gems and jewelry
7 Buy metal armor and weapons
8 Buy wooden shields and weapons

When you pair it up with the InvenSource.mes file, you get the following:

Burne's assistant = 3
Calmert = 3
Tailor's store (Jinnerth) = 4
Leatherworker's store (Jakk Borton & Bing) = 5
Moneychanger's store (Nira Melub) = 6
Blacksmith's store (Brother Smyth)= 7
Trader's Store (Rannos Davl & Gremag) = 2
Cabinet maker's store (Armario) = 8
Lareth = 2


In Hommlet, you get the best prices when you:

* sell metallic weapons and metallic armour and metallic shields to Brother Smyth (blacksmith at building #10). (see map above)

* sell wooden weapons (bow, club, crossbow, greatclub, heavy flail, javelin, longspear, maul, quarterstaff, spear) and wooden shields to Armario (cabinet maker in building just to the north of building #29).

* sell leather armour and bone armour and lamellar armour to either Jakk Borton (leatherworker) or Bing (brother-in-law) in building #6.

* sell gems and jewellery to either Nira Melubb (jeweller in building #28) or Maurice the banker in Verbobonc (who doubles as a jeweller).

* sell magical metallic armour to either Brother Smyth or Calmert (cleric in the Church of St. Cuthbert in building #33) or Burne's assistant (in keep) (in building #15).

* sell magical wooden shields to either Armario or Calmert or Burne's assistant.

* sell magical rings to either Nira Melubb or Burne's assistant or Calmert.


If you have Darley, Oohlgrist, or Scorpp in your party, then the only NPC vendors that you will be able to buy items from & sell items to are:

Calmert

Lareth (tower outside Temple of Elemental Evil)

Mother (Swamp Denizen) (Moathouse Respawn)

Mother Screng (Herbmonger) (Nulb)

11. How to access the new content

To acces the new content, you need to talk to Brother Smyth (the blacksmith in Hommlet) and tell him that you are looking for something different. Then you need to talk to the person that Brother Smyth directs you to. You keep doing this (i.e. tell Brother Smyth that you are looking for something different and then talk to the person that Brother Smyth directs you to) for each new map or the next stage of the new content (except for Verbobonc and the War of the Golden Skull).

To travel to Welkwood Bog, Hickory Branch, or Verbobonc, you have to click on the text of the name of the place on the right side of the world map interface.

Originally posted by Gaear:
Quote:
Always talk to Brother Smyth when you want to do new content and ask for "something different."

You have to have talked to the leads Brother Smyth gives you for each expansion before the next can be available, assuming the story state condition is also met.

Welkwood Bog - talk to Captain Renton
Hickory Branch - talk to Kenter Nevets
Brother Smyth's chest appears on the ground when story state 3 is reached (i.e. you've learned of Nulb) and Kenter Nevets has been spoken to regarding Hickory Branch. You need to open the chest and read the book inside it to start Arena of Heroes.
Arena of Heroes - talk to Master of the Arena
Moathouse Respawn - talk to Kent

Welkwood Bog availability: story state 0 - the start of the game
Hickory Branch availability: story state 2 - after you've cleared the Moathouse
Arena of Heroes availability: story state 3 - after you've started exploring Nulb
Moathouse Respawn availability: story state 4 - after you've started exploring the Temple of Elemental Evil

Verbobonc availability: after Zuggtmoy has been dealt with (and not before), Verbobonc will automatically open up for you on the worldmap. You can then go there and do stuff.

War of the Golden Skull availability: WotGS is the third quest given out by Wilfrick.
War of the Golden Skull - talk to Ariakas, then wait [in Hommlet for] two days, then revisit him at night. The requirements are that it only happens at night, and that it doesn't kick in for two days.

The Verbobonc signpost will take on a secondary function - that of being essentially a notice board. The Verbobonc guard(s) who stood around waiting to tell you stuff when you arrived in town will cease to do so. That will be the signpost's job, but you have to check it. Think of it like your e-mail or voicemail. You will have to check it periodically to see what's going on. Notices could be all manner of things, from summons by the head-honchos to tickets and fines to idle threats delivered by anonymous strangers. Again, check it often. It will be the first option on the signpost menu.

The only requirements for moving onto the next available new content segment are that the game's story state be at a certain point, you have not already asked Smyth about it (so he won't tell you the same thing over and over), and you have checked in with the lead he gave you (in the case of the Moathouse Respawn, Kent). It is not required that you complete one NC segment before getting the next. In this fashion, you can stockpile the NC stuff and not be pinned to doing it at rigidly specific times, if you so desire.

As far as the Arena itself goes, you only had to talk to the Master guy, not finish all the battles. People tend to get hung up on that one because they don't go to the Arena at all.
If you killed Kenter Nevets, then you can still open up Hickory Branch on your world map by talking to Brother Smyth.

You don't need the Orb of Golden Death in your possession in order to do the 'War of the Golden Skull'.



You don't have to complete each area before you can progress to the next area in the sequence - you only have to initiate the "quest" for the area (which you do by first talking to Brother Smyth and then talking to the person that Brother Smyth directs you to) and then you can initiate the "quest" for the next area in the sequence (provided that you meet the story state prerequisite for that area).



Captain Renton is in building #2 (see Hommlet map above).

Kenter Nevets and Ariakas are in building #12.

The Master of the Arena is in the Arena of Heroes. You don't have to do any of the arena fights before you can progress to the Moathouse Respawn - you just have to talk to the Master of the Arena first.

Kent is the boy who walks around to the left of building #4 during the day, and I believe that he is inside building #4 at night.

Wilfrick (Lord Viscount) is in the Lord Viscount's Chamber in city hall in Verbobonc.



If for some reason you lose the witch's letter before you read it (you need it to complete the Moathouse Respawn), then you can use the following cheat code to get the letter back in your inventory:

17. Location of the slave traders, the 3 fugitives, the body parts for the castle ghosts, and the Hextor cell

The slave traders are in the bottom right corner of Emridy Meadows.

Gunter Gladstone is in the Spruce Goose Inn in Verbobonc.

Feats:

The special rogue feat 'Opportunist' seems to not always work when it is supposed to.

Manyshot only triggers on a single attack, meaning that if you have more than 1 attack per round, manyshot won't trigger. Also, for some reason, the penalty applied is -2 instead of the listed -4.
19. Useless items

The following items have no function in this computer game:

Gold Crown Badge of Furyondy
Silver Star Badge of Veluna
Unicorn Ring
Vial of Orc Blood

Antonio's Mace is a nonmagical mace that is worth approximately 1000 Gold. It is (or used to be?) a quest item.

20. Rules differences between D&D 3.5 and this computer game

(note: this is an incomplete list)

* when a tower shield is wielded, the -2 penalty to Attack rolls is not implemented in this computer game.

* when both a buckler and a 2-handed weapon are wielded, the 1.5x Strength Modifier bonus to damage is not implemented in this computer game.

* glaives, longspears & ranseurs can hit opponents only 5 feet away in this computer game (which makes them overpowered).

* trolls don't have the special attack Rend in this computer game.

* druids are able to cast druidic spells while wielding metallic shields in this computer game.

* you can recover half of the XP that a character loses due to death by casting Restoration on a character brought back to life in this computer game.

* Circle of Eight forum member sirchet claims that using a scroll does not provoke an attack of opportunity in this computer game.

* Circle of Eight forum member Metathiax claims that the Knock spell also appears to disarm any traps.

* Circle of Eight forum member Metathiax claims that the Whirlwind Attack feat allowed him to Cleave and Great Cleave (which he doesn't think should be allowed according to the 3.5E rules).

24. Weapon Focus starting weapons

Any characters that start the game with the Weapon Focus feat will start the game with a normal weapon of the type that they have Weapon Focus in with the following exceptions:

Originally posted by The Royal Canadian:
Quote:
If you select Weapon Focus for any of the following weapons, your character (I tested this using Human Fighters) will NOT start a new game with the weapon in his/her inventory:
Gauntlet, Punching Dagger, Sickle, Scimitar (kinda sucks for Druids), Light Pick, Longsword, Butterfly Sword, Monk Spade, War Fan, Kama, Siangham, Tonfa

Other odd notes on starting weapons:
1.) Any character that selects "Weapon Finesse" as a starting feat, will start with a dagger.
2.) Any character that selects "Weapon Focus: Orc Double Axe", will start with a Battle Axe.
3.) Any Fighter can select "Weapon Focus: Bastard Sword" and "Weapon Focus: Dwarven War Axe" without first selecting "Exotic Weapon Proficiency" with those weapons and start with the "focused" weapon.
4.) Unlike Gnome Fighters that can select "Weapon Focus: Gnome Hooked Hammer" without taking the EWP first, Halfling Fighters have to select "E.W.P. Siangham" before selecting "W. F. Siangham" (and they still won't start with the Siangham in their kit).
25. How to initiate all of the quests in Verbobonc and the War of the Golden Skull

Note: In order for Lord Viscount Wilfrick to appear in his chambers, you have to talk to Captain Abiram first. Captain Abiram is in the middle of City Hall.

Originally posted by Gaear:

Note: In order for Darlia to appear on the top floor of Zeebel's Maroon Moon in Verbobonc, you have to talk to the Maitre'd on the ground floor of Zeebel's Maroon Moon and choose the correct dialogue options (the PC talking needs a high enough skill). Then talk to the Maitre'd again, pay 100 Gold, and Darlia (Manager) will appear on the top floor of Zeebel's Maroon Moon a day later. If you don't need to bribe the Maitre'd, then Darlia will appear immediately.


Verbobonc quests:

Building Credit (talk to Maurice (Banker) in the Silver Consortium) (you can only get this quest if you buy the Castle of the Lords but don't pay for it in one payment)

Catching the 'Cousin' (during the day, talk to Wilfrick (Lord Viscount) in the Lord Viscount's chambers in City Hall after Darlia has offered you the 'Removing Wilfrick' quest)

Contract on Canon Thaddeus (talk to the "Priest of Pelor" in the cellar of the Cathedral of Pelor ruins)

Demons and Demigods (Has to do with Lady Asherah. She's in the house to the left of the Cathedral of Pelor ruins. You don't get access to her until after War of the Golden Skull)

Family Turmoil (talk to Elysia in the Lord Viscount's Manor)

Then go down 2 floors below the ground floor of the Castle of the Lords and attack the third ghost)

Lords and Ladies (Has to do with Lady Asherah. She's in the house to the left of the Cathedral of Pelor ruins. You don't get access to her until after War of the Golden Skull)

Monster Mash (talk to the "Priest of Pelor" in the cellar of the Cathedral of Pelor ruins and then talk to Canon Ramses (Priest of Pelor) on the top floor of the new Cathedral of Pelor and mention the Hextorites. You need to talk to Canon Ramses after killing the Hextor cell in order to complete the quest)

Narcing on the Scarlet Brotherhood

Here's how you get those encounters:

1. Get the jewel merchant assassination quest from Darlia and then turn him in to the authorities (one of the Watch commanders). They will go arrest him. If you later go see Darlia in jail, he will threaten that the SB is coming for you. Then the appropriate level RE is scheduled and after a bit you will get ambushed in the wild by them, including the Eye thingies.

2. Get the watch patrol murder quest from Darlia and ditto above. This will be somewhat more difficult.

3. Get the Wilfrick assassination quest from Darlia and ditto above. The Watch will not like this at all, and neither will Darlia. This should be the hardest scenario when they ambush you, although IIRC the difficulty varies quite a bit depending on which map you randomly draw. I think forest is easiest and river is hardest. I deliberately built this variability in this way for randomness and replayability.

Also, in what may seem like an odd outcome, there is actually no revenge if you just kill Darlia, despite what the SB cousins and nephews tell you. This just worked out that way because Allyx created the original base of the SB plots and never had that, and I added the first two Darlia quests and simply based the revenge scenarios on my added work.
Ratting out the Hextorites (talk to the "Priest of Pelor" in the cellar of the Cathedral of Pelor ruins and accept his contract to kill the Canon, then talk to Canon Ramses (Priest of Pelor) on the top floor of the new Cathedral of Pelor and inform him of the Hextorites' plans) (Note: completing this quest triggers 'The Gremlich' revenge quest)

Removing Wilfrick (talk to Darlia (Manager) on the top floor of Zeebel's Maroon Moon) (Darlia's quest #3)

Robbery at the Hostel (talk to Darlia (Manager) on the top floor of Zeebel's Maroon Moon) (Darlia's quest #1)

Snitching on the Scarlet Brotherhood (see 'Narcing on the Scarlet Brotherhood')

The Gremlich (this quest is triggered by completing the 'Ratting out the Hextorites' quest) (this quest will only trigger after you either complete the 'Monster Mash' quest or get the Hextor Rat reputation) (talk to one of the guards outside city hall. Then talk to Mona (her home is the building next to Ah Fong's shop in Nulb). Then talk to Uncle Orrengaard III in the Rabbit Hole to find out how to kill the Gremlich. The Rabbit Hole is only accessible through a secret door near one of the staircases in the lower level of The Castle of the Lords. The Gremlich teases you a few times before attacking (so just exit the random encounters where you encounter nothing but hear screaming))

The Rabbit Hole (talk to Prince Zook IV (Gnome Prince) in the Gnome Quarter. The Rabbit Hole is only accessible through a secret door near the staircase on the second floor down from the ground floor of The Castle of the Lords. The rabbit hole requires a search skill of 15 or greater. You also have to have gotten the quest to find Prince Zook's gem)

The Slave Traders (talk to Wilfrick (Lord Viscount) in the Lord Viscount's chambers in City Hall during the day) (Wilfrick's quest #2)

Under Attack from Underground (talk to Prince Zook IV (Gnome Prince) in the Gnome Quarter)

Under Surveillance (after you see a mysterious scarlet-robed person run to the exit and disappear (you need a high enough Spot skill) when your party appears on either the top floor of the Castle of the Lords, or the top floor of The Spruce Goose Inn (after you've rented the room to rest in), or the top floor of Jylee's Inn (after you buy the room upstairs from Jylee (Proprietor) in Jylee's Inn), talk to Darlia (Manager) on the top floor of Zeebel's Maroon Moon and question him about being followed)

What Lies Beneath (talk to Captain Abiram, then search for the 3 suspects in the Verbobonc drainage tunnels. Buy and equip the Circlet of Discernment (Ah Fong has a 40% chance of having it for sale, and Senshock has a 50% chance of having it for sale if he has become a vendor in the Bazaar of the Bizarre) (or you can use the cheat code give 6482 which will place a Circlet of Discernment in a spare inventory slot of your currently selected character) when talking to the 3 suspects. Talk to Boroquin (the day steward) (he is only in the drainage tunnels during the day) (he is initially in the southwest corner of the drainage tunnels, then he patrols the drainage tunnels after you have encountered him), then successfully cast the spell Charm Person on him and talk to him again. Talk to Rakham (the night steward) (he is only in the drainage tunnels at night) (he is initially in the northwest corner of the drainage tunnels, then he patrols the drainage tunnels after you have encountered him), then successfully cast the spell Cause Fear on him and talk to him again. Find and talk to Panathaes (the asylum escapee) (he spawns in one of 8 different possible locations in the drainage tunnels) - he will attack you - during the combat, either successfully cast the spell Sleep on him or do enough nonlethal (subdual) damage to him in order to make him unconscious, then loot all of his items and read (use) his note. Then find the boy and girl (they spawn in one of 4 different possible locations in the drainage tunnels) and talk to them. You'll need to have a party size of 6 or less in order to be able to have the 2 children join your party so that you can take them up to the surface and then talk to Captain Abiram in order to complete the quest)

(Boroquin has a Child's Locket on him, so if you steal it from him, then that will give you 1 possible piece of physical evidence that you need in order to convict the culprit, but you don't need it if you do everything else stated in the above paragraph instead)

I believe that Panathaes only spawns after you have successfully interrogated both Boroquin and Rakham, and that the children only spawn after you have successfully interrogated Panathaes.

In order for a day/night standpoint NPC to appear on a map at the assigned time of day (like the day and night shift stewards), there has to be a map change. i.e., the night steward will never appear if you go down there during the day and just wait til night. This is a core engine limitation.

Panathaes, the asylum escapee | Abiram says he's crazy. Panathaes acts crazy and cooperates not one bit. And he seems kind of sleepy. And Abiram tells you to knock him out. ( Hmm, conscious = get nowhere ... there must be another way. Think, man! )

Boroquin, the day steward | Abiram says he's borderline crazy. He acts surefire crazy. And after you exhaust all avenues of conversation with him, he refuses to talk further and screams at you that he doesn't trust you. ( Hmm, doesn't trust = won't talk ... )

Rakham, the night steward | Abiram says he's pretty normal, and he acts pretty normal, if a bit of a tough nut to crack. After you exhaust all avenues of conversation with him, he refuses to talk further and says he's not afraid of you. ( Hmm, not afraid = won't talk ... )

You have to find and speak to Panathaes (the asylum escapee guy) before the children will appear. This is scripted behavior.

Panathaes may be in any of eight hiding spots in the sewers that tend to be at the ends of hallways and whatnot. I'm not going to point them all out for you.

You have to be very near him and the children to detect them - within 10 in-game feet. This is done automatically by a PC party member who has a spot skill of 19 or greater.

Both Panathaes and the children are concealed/hiding, which means that when you detect them, they will suddenly appear and stand up.

If you are having trouble finding them, look for ripples in the water that appear where there appears to be nothing to cause them.

Look for [Panathaes] in a cave-like area of the sewers. [His location] varies, but it won't change within one playthrough. e.g., he won't move between trips down there, but he may move from one game to the next.

The quest can be done without the circlet, provided you have other sufficient communication skills. The only reason the circlet exists is because the damn spell of the same function doesn't work in ToEE, of course. The circlet is only one way, albeit the easiest.

The quest can be done without getting answers from Uncle Orrengard, provided you pay attention to what people tell you, like any good investigator. Basically everyone tells you what their weaknesses are, without saying it outright.

You will also need to actually look for all involved parties. The sewers are big. People can and will hide from you and/or not cooperate with you. That was the idea. This was intended to be more of an interactive puzzle/haunted house ride than simply another Fedex quest, which is why all the need to figure things out. Fedex sucks, as we well know.

Lastly, nothing is certain, about anything - culprits, locations, statements, guilt, etc. Don't assume anything about anything. Watch your rep notifications to know for sure when you've got something to go on.

Panathaes is a joiner of any party with room, though it's not necessarily easy. It's possible that each of those guys [i.e. Panathaes, Boroquin, and Rakham] could be the culprit based on a random generator, though it's actually most likely that Panathaes will have done it.

You have to almost step on them for them to be found. Don't just walk down the center of the halls, walk in every single nook and cranny.

Of Castles and Quarries (talk to Fireforge twice. The quarry is added to the world map the second time that you talk to Fireforge)

Tools of the Trade (talk to Fireforge)

War of the Golden Skull: Attacker (you can only trigger this quest if you have a PC who worships Hextor. Start the 'War of the Golden Skull: Defender' quest, then have your party leader (who worships Hextor) talk to Wakefield (Hextor Priest))

The requirements are that it only happens at night, and that it doesn't kick in for two days) (Wilfrick's quest #3)

26. Notable items that NPC vendors sell

Everybody has been scripted to refresh, according to these parameters:

Refresh every day: they are busy, get restocked and offload frequently

All Verbobonc merchants

Hommlet*:
Burne's assistant
Calmert
Rannos and Gremag
Nira Melubb

Refresh every week: they are not as busy, because they are smaller operations and/or they live in places where trade is dangerous

All Nulb merchants*

Hommlet*
Jakk Borton (leather)
Bing (leather)
Jinnerth (tailor)
Armario (cabinet maker)

Refresh every hour: they supply drinks. Yay!

Hommlet
Glora Gundigoot

Verbobonc
Jenna

* Brother Smyth in Hommlet and Otis in Nulb refresh whenever they want to, because they are unaltered, because they are the only two merchants who do so unfailingly vanilla.

As Ted has already pointed out, Mother will probably auto-refresh too, because she's on an outdoor map. She's unaltered like Smyth and Otis.

I didn't fiddle Lareth, mainly because I didn't feel inclined to reverse engineer Livonya's scripting (he's spawned in the tower somehow) and because that location might actually be one where there is zero traffic in terms of 'merchant caravans' and the like coming by to take your stuff off your hands and give you new stuff anyway.

If you hate being forced to wait a week for some merchants to refresh, remember that time means nothing in ToEE and you can just stand there and pass time for a week if you want to. You don't even have to leave the map. The delays are for those who appreciate the RP.

I pulled Burne's assistant's merchant inventory and percentage from the InvenSource.mes file. You can find it below. The percentage after each item shows the chance of an item being there on each day. At least I think that his merchant inventory refreshes each day (instead of each week). I do know that if you save your game just before you enter the tower in Hommlet and then enter and review Burne's assistant's inventory, you can reload, enter and find that his inventory is different. I have done this when I have wanted a spell or two from his inventory to complete my wizard's spell list. Note that once you have reviewed his inventory, it will not change until it has been refreshed the next day (24 hours).

28. Useful information about the game

To add or remove PCs from your party once your PCs are in the game-world, click on the guestbook in either The Inn of the Welcome Wench (in Hommlet) or the Waterside Hostel (in Nulb).

Avoidability of random encounters depends on randomly rolled Listen, Spot, and Survival checks for both the party and the enemies.

NPCs in your party can use weapons for which they don't have proficiency without the -4 penalty.

When copying scrolls, TOEE only remembers the most recent failed attempt. If you fail to copy a scroll, you cannot try again until you gain another rank in Spellcraft. However, if you fail on another scroll, you can try again on any scrolls on which you failed before the most recent failure. Thus, you will never have more than one spell for which TOEE remembers you failed a copy scroll check.
The Greathammer weapon uses the Warhammer weapon proficiency.

If you click on the Sign Post near where your party appears on the South Hommlet, Nulb, or Verbobonc map, then you can travel quickly to any location on those maps respectively.

Casting the Read Magic spell on a scroll or potion will identify that scroll or potion. The Helm of Reading Magic allows its wearer to cast an unlimited number of Read Magic spells.

Your party alignment only affects the alignment of PCs that can join your party when you are putting a party together before you begin the game. Party alignment has no affect whatsoever on nearly all of the recruitable NPCs that can join your party (Burne is one exception).

NPCs in your party are unable to loot items from corpses or containers or that are on the ground. You will have to have your PCs loot items and then you can transfer items from your PCs to NPCs in your party.

The computer game's manual is in your game directory as the following file name:

ToEE_Manual_ENU.pdf

You will need a PDF viewing application in order to be able to view the file. If you aren't already using Adobe Acrobat Reader, then install the free application Foxit Reader (it's MUCH faster than Adobe Acrobat Reader).

Colour of potion or ribbon around scroll - School of arcane magic:

dark blue - conjuration
grey - illusion
light blue - enchantment
light green - transmutation
orange - abjuration
red - evocation
violet (purple) - necromancy
white - new content by the Circle of Eight team
yellow - divination

The important thing to note is that the only position in the party queue that matters is the first one, as that will always be your party leader and oftentimes spokesperson. So whomever you want to be in charge and do the talking should always be in the first spot, but none of the others matter. So ... you could put your softies in the #2, 3 spots, etc., but still put them in the rear as far as marching goes via party formations, and then, theoretically, they would be in the middle when they arrive on new maps.

In the image above, Mialee the wizard in brown robes is the team leader in spot 1, Aramil the sorcerer in purple robes is in spot 2, Vadania the druid in white robes is in spot 3, Devis the bard in light blue robes is in spot 4, Jozan the cleric in black robes is in spot 5, Kerwyn the rogue in dark blue robes is in spot 6, Krusk the barbarian in red robes is in spot 7, and Regdar the fighter in green robes is in spot 8.

The order goes: inner top, inner bottom, inner right, inner left, outer top, outer bottom, outer right, outer left.

So you should basically put your party leader in spot 1, your squishy party members in spots 3 - 4, and your tanks in spots 5 - 8. Note that this assumes you have a party of eight and that you're landing on a map where there are no obstructions - no doubt that will not always be the case.
The ONLY way that you should navigate around Verbobonc is to click on the Verbobonc sign post (which is the huge dark mirror near the top right corner of one of the screenshots above) which is located on the outside front wall of the Verbobonc Constabulary (i.e. the building just to the right of Verbobonc City Hall, next to where your party first appears in Verbobonc).
When your party exits a building, open the World Map, click on Passage to Verbobonc, then click on the Verbobonc sign post, then select the next building in Verbobonc that you want to travel to.

You don't have to have your character with the highest Appraise skill initiate dialogue with NPC vendors in order to get the best prices when buying or selling items. The game automatically gives you buying/selling prices based on the character in your party who has the highest Appraise skill, whether that character was the one who initiated dialogue with any NPC vendors or not.

Originally posted by Sitra Achara:

Terjon can Raise Dead [after you return his pendant to him] and Jaroo can cast Reincarnation (which, in ToEE, is identical to Raise Dead, except for the price).

Note that the XP table is capped at 10, due to a hard coded limitation. Meaning that characters above level 10 will gain XP as though they were level 10.

Wonnilon's hideout is safe to rest in, even though the tent icon is yellow. The safe-resting hideout zone is defined by the seam in the corridor leading to the actual hideout. See attached image (where the mouse cursor is).

Only good aligned PCs are rewarded Scather.

For an appraise skill of 0, the sell modifier is 40% (meaning you sell at 40% price, assuming it's the right type of shopkeeper). For every skill point above or below, add or subtract 3%, up to a maximum of 97% (requires appraise skill of 19), and a minimum of 0% (for an appraise skill of less than -13 - at which point NPCs won't buy anything from you).

Royal Armor is masterwork full-plate, with the added benefit of a +6 bonus to Diplomacy, Gather Information, Sense Motive and Intimidate. Fairly ridiculous, considering it costs the same as ordinary MW full-plate. The bonuses have also been given to Thrommel's armor.
In Verbobonc, Canon Ramses (in the Cathedral of Pelor) can cast Raise Dead on your dead characters.

The summoned creature limit is 10.

The higher a character's Use Magic Device skill, the better the character's chance of being able to use (i.e. either equip or activate) items that are normally only usable by another class.

Originally posted by EvilCatEars:

With the Use Magic Device skill you can use any wand and any scroll, with any level spell (both arcane and divine schools).

How it works:

When using a wand - you roll DC 20 to determine if you can use wand, if succeeded, wand is used (doesn't matter what level spell and what your wisdom/intelligence).

When using scroll of spell level 0, 1, and 2 - roll DC 20 (exactly the same as wands, doesn't matter what your wisdom/inteligence is).

When using scroll of spell level 3 and higher - roll DC 20 first (determines whether you activated scroll or not), after that roll again; DC 30 to emulate ability score (wisdom/intelligence). You roll that DC 30 only when your ability is not enough (for example to cast Fireball you need at least 13 Intelligence).

Example: Rogue with 14 Int and 8 Wis, can cast Web, Fireball, Dimension Door, Improved Invisibility from scroll after rolling DC 20. But to cast Teleport or Cone of Cold he rolls DC 20 and then DC 30.

Same rogue (14 Int 8 Wis) can cast Cure Light Wounds, Bless, Cure Moderate Wounds from scroll after rolling DC 20. But to cast Cure Serious Wounds or Prayer he rolls DC 20 then DC 30.

In addition to the core ones listed in the manual (i.e. kama, quarterstaff, sai, shuriken, siangham and tonfa), the following are usable with Flurry of Blows:

* Dao (Uses Butterfly Sword Proficiency) [light weapon; 1d8 slashing; 19-20]
* Butterfly Sword [light weapon; 1d6 slashing; 19-20]
* Rake (Uses Quarterstaff Proficiency) [2-handed; 1d8 bludgeoning AND piercing; 20x3]
* War Fan [light weapon; 1d6 slashing; 20x3]
* Tonfa [light weapon; 1d6 bludgeoning; 20x2]
* Broom (Uses Quarterstaff Proficiency) [exactly like quarterstaff]

The following are confirmed not usable with flurry of blows:
Naginata
Shovel
Monk Spade (I know, right? I guess that 18-20 crit range would be too brutal with flurry)
Katar
Tanto
Tian
Military Fork
Tetsubo

The clear winners here for use with flurry are either the Rake, or the Dao.

The Rake is a quarterstaff that deals 1d8 damage, has a crit multiplier of 3, and deals two types of weapon damage, making it handy at bypassing most damage-type DR. As a two-handed weapon, you double the power attack bonus, even though you only get 1x strength bonus while flurrying. No exotic proficiency is needed, which is a big plus.

The Dao is a *light* weapon that deals 1d8 slashing, and has 19-20/x2. A dex monk dual-wielding these with finesse could be brutal. Unfortunately, you'd need to grab Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Butterfly Sword).

There is no reason to use the Butterfly Sword (the Dao is strictly superior), or the Broom (the rake is strictly superior), except for flavor. The War Fan may be preferred to the Dao if you like a x3 multiplier, instead of the 19-20 range, though the base damage decreases slightly. The Tonfa stinks, in my opinion, but is your only option if you want to flurry with a one-handed bludgeoning weapon. Thing is, you have your fists for that :p
The goblin that was in Hommlet in the vanilla version of the computer game has been removed from the game in the Circle of Eight Modpack. You now find Black Jay's ring elsewhere in the game (the location depends on your party alignment).

Actions that will make a paladin fall:

In Verbobonc now, on the other hand, you fall for killing any good-aligned NPC that didn't have it coming.
If your paladin becomes fallen:

You can have the fallen trait removed if you talk to Terjon or Canon Ramses and pay some gold to make your penance.
Hidden items:

There is some money and gems hidden in the well to the left of the jeweller's house in Hommlet.

The following items are hidden in the book in the bookcase on the top floor of the Church of St. Cuthbert in Hommlet:
Potion of Protection from Outsiders
Potion of Heal
Scroll of Cure Light Wounds
Scroll of Cure Serious Wounds
Scroll of Raise Dead
2x Scroll of Heal
Scroll of Cure Minor Wounds
Scroll of Cure Critical Wounds
Scroll of Cure Moderate Wounds

There is a Lamia Figurine (Child's Toy) hidden amongst the leaves of a tree on the far right of the Imeryds Run map.

There is a scroll of Dispel Magic hidden on the table in the room where the Dazed Concubine and the Exotic Concubine are in the Greater Temple (i.e. the Temple of Elemental Evil dungeon level 4). If you cast Dispel Magic on the Dazed Concubine, then she will reveal that she is Paida (Valden's wife).

If you complete the 'Unhappy Tailor' quest in Hommlet, then Jinnerth the tailor will give you a masterwork repeating crossbow as a reward.

Black Jay's ring is in one of 3 possible locations in the game (the location depends on your party alignment). 2 of the possible locations are: on one of the Giant Spiders' corpses in Deklo Grove; on one of the Giant Frogs' corpses outside the Moathouse. If your party alignment is Evil, then the ring is on the giant spider's corpse in the mouthouse tower.

You cure Bing (Leatherworker's brother-in-law) by casting Heal on him (either from a scroll or a memorized spell).

If you talk to Ostler Gundigoot, then he will offer you a quest to catch Furnok cheating. If you complete the quest, then you can rest upstairs in the Inn of the Welcome Wench for free from then on, and Furnok will offer to join your party for free.

Rannos Davl or Gremag will give you a Shortsword +1 as a bribe in exchange for your silence after you confront them about the Courier (in the barn to the east of their trading post in Hommlet) and you choose a magic weapon as the bribe.

Lubash (the ogre in the moathouse dungeon) and the Dire Bear (in the pit at Hickory Branch) can both be killed by missile weapons without them being able to attack you if you stay out of their attack range. Lubash can't move out of the room that he is in, and the Dire Bear can't move out of the pit that it is in.

The larger threat with delaying is that all the surviving lieutenants will assemble in the cave and make that fight harder.
If you rescue Countess Tillahi and her consort Sir Juffer from the Temple of Elemental Evil, then some time later while travelling on the world map, you will have a random encounter where her envoy (Elven Maiden) will give each character in your party 100 platinum. If you have a PC with a Good alignment (or maybe if your party alignment is Good), then she will also give your party a ring worth more than 9000 gold and Blue Elven Chain.

If you rescue Prince Thrommel from the Temple of Elemental Evil, then some weeks later while travelling on the world map, you will have a random encounter where his envoy (Lord Grundwell) will give each character in your party 2000 platinum and a Ring of Protection +1. He will also give the party the artifact bastard sword "Scather" (and a Ring of Freedom of Movement?).
If you teleport from inside the Temple of Elemental Evil to Hommlet while Prince Thrommel is in your party, then rest for exactly 14 days in Hommlet, then the next time that you travel on the world map, you are guaranteed to get the random encounter with Prince Thrommel's envoy.

There is a secret spiral staircase that leads from the huge circular hole in the ground floor of the Temple of Elemental Evil to dungeon level 1, as well as a one-way passage down directly into the Air Temple on dungeon level 2.

There is a secret passage that leads from the broken tower (which is outside the Temple of Elemental Evil) down to a secret section of the Temple of Elemental Evil dungeon level 3. The Orb of Golden Death is hidden in a secret room adjacent to this secret area.

As soon as you have the Orb of Golden Death, a hole opens up in front of the throne on the ground floor of the Temple of Elemental Evil which leads to Zuggtmoy's prison within the Temple of Elemental Evil. This is the only portal that you can use to enter Zuggtmoy's prison.

Destroying the Orb of Golden Death will significantly weaken Zuggtmoy and give you a more successful game ending. You destroy the Orb of Golden Death by talking to Burne (while you have the Orb in your character's inventory) and then you must talk to and give Pishella the following items:
Masterwork Maul
scroll of Gust of Wind
scroll of Fireball
Holy Water

After you have cleared the moathouse, Burne will offer to tell you his puzzles. The answers to Burne's puzzles are:
white banner
the second (long) explanation for your answer above
5
Burne will give you a scroll of Fireball and a scroll of Glitterdust if you successfully solve his puzzles (a scroll of Fireball is needed to destroy the Orb of Golden Death).

The swamp lotus is always on the left side of a swamp random encounter map (see screenshot above).

You can only get the quest from Skole to assassinate Lodriss if your party alignment isn't good, or if you have a good party alignment and the PC talking has an Intimidate skill of at least 9. You will only have the dialogue option to demand a better payment than what Skole initially offers if you have a Diplomacy skill of at least 10, in which case Skole will give you a Steel Shield +2 if you accept the quest to assassinate Lodriss. You don't have to then kill Lodriss. You can double-cross Skole if you want to by telling Lodriss about Skole's scheme.

Killing any of the high priests of the elemental temples (i.e. Romag, Belsornig, Kelno, or Alrrem) triggers the Reactive Temples mod. The Earth Temple never reacts and never goes on the defensive. Only the Water Temple, Air Temple, and Fire Temple are capable of reacting and going on the defensive (in which case their best mobs will be grouped together within their respective temples).

It's best to talk to, attack and kill Romag (the high priest of the Earth Temple) so that the 3 remaining elemental temples react and go on the defensive (assuming that you want to fight as many of the reactive temples as possible).

For all of the possible conditions that trigger the Reactive Temples mod, see the following link:

http://www.co8.org/forum/showpost.php?p=109747&postcount=7

There is a secret room adjacent to the Air temple that contains a Holy Ranseur +1.

If you attack but don't kill Smigmal Redhand, then eventually Smigmal will summon 2 Smigmal Assassin Henchmen to aid her during the combat (who have excellent items to loot from their corpses afterwards). It may take several rounds before Smigmal summons reinforcements.

If you choose the following dialogue options when talking with Falrinth, then he will escape. The next time that you enter his area, he will be there again, but he will now have reinforcements in the form of 3 Bugbears (one of which is a Greater Temple Bugbear with 163 HP) (note: your PC talking will need high enough skills to be able to select the first and the last of the following dialogue options):
1. Will you now? Hedrack himself has sent me, you fool.
2. What have you learned so far?
1. Enough talk, Falrinth! Give me the orb now, or I will take it by force!

You deactivate the electrical trap in the Greater Temple (Temple of Elemental Evil dungeon level 4) by either having a Black TGZY Scarab in your inventory or by talking to a troll in the Greater Temple and getting the deactivation secret password from a troll (you may have to damage a troll enough to make it bargain for its life).

Senshock will arrive as reinforcements in any major combat in the Greater Temple (i.e. Temple of Elemental Evil dungeon level 4).

If you attack but don't kill Senshock, then he will escape and become a vendor of wondrous items in the Bazaar of the Bizarre in Verbobonc. Any paladins in your party will cause you to have different dialogue options when talking with Senshock in Verbobonc.

The worst-case scenario is when both Falrinth and Smigmal get away initially (Smigmal bluffs, Falrinth teleports), then you come back later and find Falrinth's bugbear guards outside, who go and get Falrinth and Smigmal, and then Smigmal's assassins appear.

The Butcher of Hommlet reputation should only occur if you actually kill 3 or more NPCs of the Hommlet faction.

[To complete the Fear of Ghosts quest, you must] attack the ghost on the third floor. You can see him and/or his shadow walking around outside of combat at night. Don't rest. Just attack.

[regarding the Framework of a Murder quest:]
If you can kill the Verbobonc guard before his second turn, he won't be able to call for help and the city won't be alerted. Otherwise, you'll just have to deal with the consequences.
If you attack and kill the slave traders without talking with them first, then the Verbobonc law enforcers will consider you a murderer of the rescuers of the child slaves and arrest you when you return to Verbobonc, and then offer you the choice to buy your freedom.

Originally posted by Gaear:

Paying will eliminate the law repercussions for murdering them (e.g. no one will try to arrest you anymore), but it won't magically transform them into 'the slavers.' You won't complete the slavers quest and (I think) you'll still have the rep that says you are the rescuers' murderer. Also, it should be pretty straightforwad what options you have. You either pay up or get executed, and if you don't have the cash you can sell the gear you have on you. There's no way to delay it lawfully, although I guess you can teleport out [of jail] to try to grab more assets, but they'll always try to re-arrest you.
If you botch the Framework of a Murder quest, then an alternative ending to the quest will play out.

Your party will only obtain the Cop Killer reputation once your party has killed at least 2 Verbobonc Guards.

[regarding the Skole's Goons ambush (after you've accepted the quest from Skole to assassinate Lodriss)] For it to trigger, you have to pass 3 days. Skole has to be alive too, IIRC. Then travel the worldmap, and you'll get the encounter.

You have to pass time (2 hours) before Dala attempts to steal from you again.

Resting in Hickory Branch will now behave the same way as travelling to rest in another location. (7.0.1 NC onwards)
If you rest twice, ogres and bugbears team up to hurl the cave blockage on your sleeping wizard, turning him to pancake! (7.0.1 NC onwards)

Lareth joins his men in combat after two casualties.
Spider reinforcement only happens if casualties are greater than 4.
Initiating combat with Lareth without having talked to him first will trigger a series of float message in which he speaks his lines.
Injuring Lareth will halt the sequence, and elicit an appropriate response from him.
If you somehow attack Lareth in his room without having fought his men, they will actually join the fight.
Lareth will break up combat and offer his Necklace / Temple escort as usual. His dialogue hasn't been changed.
This pacifies his troops as well.
His Lieutenant, Seleucas, will also have some insights about the new situation
Reactive Moathouse behavior -
Triggered by eliminating 2 of the following:
Ground floor brigand group, Lubash, Bugbear group, Gnoll group.
A suitable amount of time later, a regroup will trigger.
(it takes 12 hours for the killings to register for most of them, except for the ground floor brigands, whose absence is felt only 48 hours later)
The guardsmen at the corridor will join up with the other ones at the big room.
A lone guardsman stands watch at the door, and he will act a little more aggressive than the Sergeant who is usually there.
On that note, if you intimidate the Sergeant in the non-regroup scenario, his men will also run off to the back.
You can avoid having one of your characters automatically killed before the combat with the slave traders begins by choosing the dialogue option to attack as soon as you can while conversing with the leader of the slave traders.

There are no auto-kills with the slavers if you are solo.
In order for Darlia to appear on the top floor of Zeebel's Maroon Moon in Verbobonc, you have to talk to the Maitre'd on the ground floor of Zeebel's Maroon Moon and choose the correct dialogue options (the PC talking needs a high enough skill). Then talk to the Maitre'd again, pay 100 Gold, and Darlia (Manager) will appear on the top floor of Zeebel's Maroon Moon a day later. If you don't need to bribe the Maitre'd, then Darlia will appear immediately.

If you accept the 'Removing Wilfrick' quest from Darlia and then attack but don't kill Wilfrick, then during the combat, Wilfrick will summon 2 Overseers (Samson and Goliath) during one round, then 4 Verbobonc Guards during a later round, then the Guardian (Bathsheba) during a later round, and then finally 2 Verbobonc Mages during a later round. If you don't kill the 2 Verbobonc Mages before they get to act in the round after they appeared during the combat, then Wilfrick will escape and you will fail the 'Removing Wilfrick' quest.

If you rescue Sargen the wizard from the Earth Node, then after he leaves your party, you will eventually get a random encounter where you will receive a reward for rescuing Sargen.

How to defeat the Gremlich:

Originally posted by Gaear:

Cast light-related spells on it - Searing Light, Flare, Faerie Fire ...

You're not going to damage it much with those spells, but the cumulative effect makes it vulnerable. You have to hit it three times with any of those spells while it is in a single form (e.g. the troll-like creature or the spirit) before it is reduced to less than 40% of its HP in that form, and then it will lose its ability to transform and you can kill it.

After you kill the Gremlich and talk to Mona and request the sports reward, you should get a random encounter fairly quickly that features two sets of enemies fighting each other. This will be on a random encounter map

I don't think it's random - you get three warning random encounters as per classic RPG canon, and then the Gremlich shows up whenever you arrive somewhere at night. For me that was Nulb, though I heard it can show up in Verbobonc as well.

The Gremlich switches forms and heals as soon as he reaches "near death" state.

You gotta land 3 light spells while the Gremlich is in the same form to prevent him from switching. Seems like you don't have to kill him with light spells. Not 100% sure though, maybe just got lucky to deal enough damage fast enough.
Your party alignment determines which opponents that you face in the 'Demons & Demigods' quest.

The elementals worked normally (since all they can do is hit things)... although they tended to hit things immune to their own damage instead of things not.

Sitra Achara's FAQ:

Terjon is now Cleric 10 / Fighter 3 / Paladin 7, with appropriate feats, spells, skills, etc.


Amii and the lotus flower

The lotus flower is spawned in a random encounter on the world map. If you get a random encounter on a swamp map, look around. There are two variants of the swamp map, one with a (barely visible) road and one without the road. The one you seek is roadless.


The assassin

To get the assassin, you need to sell one of Lareth's items (Lareth's boots are the best choice) to Rannos Davl or Gremag in the trading post. You can't barter with the Traders if you've revealed their activity to Burne and Rufus - this will prevent the assassin encounter from taking place.


The Nulb ambush

To get the Nulb ambush, you have to attack Rannos Davl and Gremag and let them escape. If you already got the assassin encounter, you can confront them about it - this can lead to combat. You may also wish to consult Burne about this.

Buy the house in Nulb from Preston Wetz. They will be awaiting you there.
Be visiting there for the 3rd time or more after gaining the Target of Revenge reputation.

Have an Effective Average Party Level >= 6.

Succeed on a random roll (25% chance), so if you're impatient, just repeatedly enter and exit the house.

You must not reveal the traders to Burne to obtain this quest. If you do, it pretty much shuts down the traders' line of conversation. Instead do the following:

Complete the Agent Revealed and The Traders' Courier quests but do not complete the Traders Revealed quest - this is the one where you reveal to Burne or Rufus that the Traders are behind the delays to their castle. Then go and clear out the moathouse and sell Lareth's plate boots to the traders. After a day or more, a random encounter will be added where an assassin will attack you. After defeating the assassin, go and tell Burne about it. Then go and confront the traders. Initiate a combat with them but do not kill them (except their hired help). They will turn invisible after they have been damaged sufficiently and escape. After you have done all of this, you can finally go and complete The Traders Revealed quest by talking to Burne or Rufus. Later, when you get a house in Nulb, the traders will try to ambush you with a group inside your house.

You can kill either Rannos Davl or Gremag in their trading post and the Nulb house ambush will still happen. But if you kill them both in their trading post, then this prevents the Nulb house ambush from happening.

If you don't get the random encounter with the assassin, then he shows up along with all of the regular NPCs in the Nulb house ambush.

Upon buying your house in Nulb, there is a 2 day delay before Preston Wetz will tell you that thugs have been looking for you.

Whenever I approach Preston Wetz (2 or more days after buying my house) (Preston Wetz is at position 1 (in the map below) during the day, but is inside the building (in between 1 and 2 in the map below) at night), he initiates conversation with me about thugs looking for me, then the first time that I entered my house in Nulb after that conversation with Preston Wetz, I got the ambush.



Moathouse:

Lareth:

Q: How do I trigger his new subplot?

A: Don't kill him in the Moathouse, first of all. Attack him and let him escape when he surrenders. Then go to the Temple Tower (the backdoor entrance, the one with the brigands and witches), handle it diplomatically (this requires high enough speech skills), and go back to Hommlet. You should be able to ask around about it now.

Q: Where is he held then?

A: Lareth will be held in Burne's Tower basement.

Q: Okay, I've found him. How do I release him?

A: Free him from his bonds using Dispel Magic. If you want to ensure his safety, you need to escort him out of the tower yourself.

Q: Is there a way to sneak him out without a fight?

A: Yes. Cast invisibility on him. If the guards can't see him, they won't attack. Or use teleport.


Big 3 Ambush:

Q: The ambush didn't trigger for me! What are the requirements?

A: The exact conditions are:
Party alignment - not Lawful Evil.
Lareth is dead.
Kobort, Turuko and Zert are not dead.
Kobort, Turuko and Zert are not in your party right now.

You have not been to another location on the worldmap after having killed Lareth.
In case you exit to the Moathouse courtyard: the bandits are not in the courtyard.


Gnolls:

Q: What's the deal with letting the gnolls go?

A: If you let them go, they'll become a group of raiders and even slaughter a caravan.


Nulb:

Mother Screng and Hruda:

Q: What's the story behind Mother Screng and Hruda?

A: They're secret agents working for Furyondi.

Q: How do I find out about this in the game?

A: Your party must be good aligned.
You need to recruit Otis for the second time;
He should disband from your party after you return to Nulb from a Temple excursion with him. For him to join a second time, you also need to have learned of the Temple's factions, by talking to a cleric for instance.
Your party's effective average level has to be level 5 or below.


Bertram:

Q: How do I find the straight version of Bertram?

A: Don't talk to the gay version (the one standing outside the Tavern). The straight Bertram is standing inside the Tavern next to Tolub. Talking to either the straight or gay Bertram makes the other one disappear.


Imeryds Run:

Having a large party means you get noticed by the lizards as well.

There is a hard to find item lying around. To the NE of the Kingfrog. You can make it flash by tapping the Tab key repeatedly. It's a summoning figure - summons a Lamia. Identify it first, and then activate it from the radial menu.


Temple:

Wonnilon's hideout:

Q: Is it really safe to rest there?

A: In Co8 5.0.5 or later - you may rest there safely. Prior to that fix, sleep encounters were the same there as anywhere else on that level.


Raise Dead vs. Incarnate:

Q: Is there any disadvantage to raising my dead with the Druid Reincarnate spell instead of Raise Dead?

A: Nope, they are identical in ToEE.

Q:Isn't that an exploit then? Reincarnate is a level 4 spell, and furthermore Jaroo charges less for it than Terjon does for Raise Dead.

A: Pretty much.

Re: game guide & walkthrough for the Circle of Eight modpack NC

30. Tips on successful gaming

Read ALL of the in-game tips BEFORE you start playing the game! This is VITAL to your ability to play this game effectively!

Always keep the Rolls History tab open. You will get maximum information about the environment around your party, and you can study all rolls that your characters and your enemies make by clicking on any blue text within the Rolls History tab.

Use ToEE Front-End X to set the delay for the spell Delayed Blast Fireball to 0 seconds (otherwise the spell is useless).

The following places are the best places to rest in the game because each character heals a number of HP equal to 2 times his/her character level when your party rests in any of the following places (whereas each character only heals 1 times his/her character level everywhere else in the game when resting):
* upstairs in the Inn of the Welcome Wench in Hommlet
* The Spruce Goose in Verbobonc
* upper floor of Jylee's Inn in Verbobonc
* floors 1 and 2 of the Verbobonc castle (i.e. The Castle of the Lords)

The best way to select dialogue options during conversations with NPCs is to press the numerical key that corresponds to the dialogue option (e.g. 1, 2, 3, etc.) instead of clicking the mouse on the dialogue option.

Any charmed creatures in your party will disappear when you travel elsewhere on the world map, so always kill any and all charmed creatures before you travel on the world map. You attack a charmed creature by entering combat mode (by pressing C) and then selecting Full Attack from the radial menu.

I recommend that you have a single class rogue PC as your party leader (i.e. in the left-most portrait slot), that you maximize this character's Appraise, Bluff, Diplomacy, Gather Information, Intimidate, and Sense Motive skills, that you always use this character to initiate dialogue with NPCs (so that you will have the most dialogue options to choose from when selecting your responses in conversations with NPCs), and that you have this character way out in the front of your party formation so that NPCs that initiate dialogue with your party will select your rogue to converse with.

If your spellcaster (who knows the Read Magic spell) chooses the Craft Wondrous Item feat, then he/she will be able to create a Helm of Reading Magic that grants its wearer the ability to cast the spell Read Magic an unlimited number of times. This is by far the most useful utility item in the game! Then it won't matter if you mistarget your Read Magic spell on an already identified scroll or potion.

If you are going to craft items, then your spellcasting artificer(s) is/are going to have to choose the Craft Wondrous Items and Craft Magic Arms and Armor and Forge Rings feats.

I think that some of the most powerful spells in the game are:
Charm Monster
Charm Person
Cloudkill
Cone of Cold
Delayed Blast Fireball
Dominate Monster
Dominate Person
Enlarge Person
Fireball
Haste
Heal
Hold Monster
Hold Person
Minor Globe of Invulnerability
Prayer
Resist Energy
Righteous Might
Stinking Cloud
Stoneskin
Tasha's Hideous Laughter
Weird

I think that the most powerful feats in the game are:
Cleave
Combat Reflexes
Craft Magic Arms and Armor
Craft Wondrous Item
Crippling Strike
Forge Rings
Great Cleave
Improved Trip
Improved Two Weapon Fighting
Two Weapon Fighting

My favourite tactic is to have my wizard cast Enlarge Person and Haste on all of my fighters and rogue just before I go on a killing spree through a dungeon level, leaving a trail of corpses in my wake.

I think that the most effective character class kits are the following:

Party spokesperson: a single-class elf rogue with high Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence. I think that rogues make the best party spokesperson because they get the most skill points and Bluff, Diplomacy, Gather Information, Intimidate and Sense Motive are all class skills for a rogue. Gets Weapon Focus in one of the following weapons:
a. Longbow
b. Two Weapon Fighting
Chooses the Crippling Strike feat at 10th level, the Improved Evasion feat at level 13, and the Opportunist feat at level 16 (useful for melee rogues only).

Melee combatant: a single-class fighter with high Strength, Constitution and Dexterity, and an Intelligence of at least 13 so that he/she can get the Combat Expertise feat and the Improved Tripping feat. Chooses feats in the following order:
1. Power Attack
2. Cleave
3. Combat Expertise
4. Improved Trip
5. Combat Reflexes
6. Great Cleave
7. Weapon Focus (weapon)
8. Weapon Specialization (weapon)
9. Improved Critical (weapon)
10. Greater Weapon Focus (weapon)
11. Dodge
12. Blind-Fight
13. Iron Will
14. Great Fortitude
15. Lightning Reflexes
16. Improved Initiative
17. Quickdraw

Artificer: Lawful Good cleric/wizard with the Good and Law domains and the Craft Wondrous Item and Forge Rings and Craft Magic Arms and Armor feats so that he/she is able to create Holy Axiomatic weapons that do an extra 4d6 damage to chaotic evil opponents (most of the baddies in the game have a chaotic evil alignment).

Healer and undead hunter: Cleric of Pelor with the Sun and Healing domains and the Improved Turning and Extra Turning feats.

Druids benefit most from choosing the following feats:
Spell Focus (Conjuration)
Augment Summoning

If you are having difficulty killing Bodaks before they kill one or more of your characters with their death gaze, then the easiest way to kill them is to have a high-level cleric Turn Undead. The second easiest way would probably be casting Delayed Blast Fireball at them.

When I'm dealing with a tough trap, I often don't risk setting it off with a critical failure at all - if you can unlock or Knock it, the cantrip Open/Close will do the trick, from safe distance, without setting the trap off.
If your rogue would not otherwise be able to flank an opponent, then you may be able to have one of your spellcasters cast Summon Monster or Summon Nature's Ally so that the summoned creature appears behind and adjacent to an opponent so that your rogue can now flank the opponent so that your rogue can sneak attack the opponent.

There is a gap below the slave traders that allows the player to move his/her characters one at a time around behind the slave traders so that the player's party can attack the slave traders from behind. This makes the archer in the slave traders incredibly vulnerable.

You don't have to kill the demon guardians in order to obtain the magic gems that they are guarding. It's possible for an invisible character to pickpocket the magic gem from each demon guardian in the elemental nodes.

When playing the game with just 1 character, the following items that you find are extremely useful:
Potion of Immunity to Undead
Potion of Magic Immunity (use it against the slave traders)
Potion of Immunity to Outsiders (use it against Iuz or St. Cuthbert or the Balors in the 'Demons & Demigods' quest)
Orb of Golden Death (keep using it to summon creatures during combat, then rest a week to recharge the orb's summoning abilities).

This computer game allows spellcasters to cast touch spells at a distance up to the spellcaster's threat area from their target, and allows rogues to attempt to disarm traps at a distance up to the rogue's threat area from the trap. Because of this, you can minimize the risk of spellcasters getting into trouble when casting spells during combat and rogues setting off traps when attempting to disarm traps by equipping these characters with a reach weapon (such as a longspear) and casting Enlarge Person on them before they cast a spell during combat or attempt to disarm a trap. This will allow your characters to cast touch spells or attempt to disarm traps up to 15 feet away from their target instead of the normal 5 feet.

If you want the ultimate 1-2-3 punch for taking out large groups of monsters (like that huge, troublesome group of Bugbears at the Northeast Corner of Level 2), my recommendation is Stinking Cloud - Spiritual Weapon - Spike Stones . I just played that battle with 4 PCs (Fighter, Bard, Wizard and Cleric: all "Pure"), Meleny and Elmo. Only 4 Bugbears even managed to get within Melee range of my party, and two of those were sickened. Cast "Enlarge Person" on a front rank fighter with a Pole Arm (my fighter uses a crafted Holy Glaive) and it becomes a slaughterfest. Stinking Cloud works wonders on Falrinth and Senshock (as long as you either cast it before they cast Lesser Globe of Invulnerability or cast it so that it effects them without being cast directly on them). In my opinion Stinking Cloud is the most under appreciated spell in the game.
At lower levels (say 3rd - 6th Level) substitute "Grease" for "Spike Stones". For outdoor settings, you can also use Entangle, and Web works fairly well also.

I just discovered the best way to fight the Salamanders in the Fire Node (for once, having the system lock up in the Fire node was good for something: I got to replay the big Salamander fight several times). The trick is to have a "Front Group" of heavy hitters (I use a fighter, a cleric, and Elmo) that is buffed out (Resist Elements, Protection From Elements, Barkskin, Stoneskin, Haste, etc.) and a "Back group" (in my case a Wizard, a Bard and Meleny ) that is several feet (30 - 40' or about 1/4 the screenwidth at a guess) away, protected by a Lesser Globe of Invulnerability. The Salamanders will cast their fireballs at the Back Group, leaving your front group to deal with nothing but melee attacks (and few of those).

My favorite "persistent" ranged spell is Stinking Cloud. Combined with Web, Grease, and a Spiritual Weapon from your Cleric (a Cleric of either Heironeous or Corellon Larethian with the "War" and "Good" Domains is almost a "Must Have" for Good, CN or LN parties), and you can take out most big battles with minimal (if any) damage.

The ultimate spell is Stinking Cloud. This spell will take out just about everyone. It's been a while since I last went at the slavers, but Stinking Cloud is my spell of choice for dealing with just about anything that breathes: slavers, bugbears, drow, you name it, Stinking Cloud can take them out. The nice thing about SC, is that it not only prevents spell casting (like the Silence spell you mentioned), it prevents everything except some movement and Attacks of Opportunity, in other words that Rogue Archer would be too busy puking his guts out to worry about shooting arrows at you.

Except undead. I do prefer Ghoul Touch though, since you get faultless paralysis (and CdG (coupe de grace)) on one target (except for spell resistance), plus a mini-stinking cloud. Just gotta make sure the spellcaster doesn't die in one hit.

On higher-level encounters, there's much better spells to use than Stinking Cloud. Like Order's Wrath which both damages and dazes, Prismatic Spray, Mass Hold Person, Charm Monster, Power Words (Kill instantly disposes of the Sorceress in the slavers quest, and she's THE most trouble; Stun can disable the cleric, maybe even the rogue for the fight) etc etc.

[For a] double-wielder though, consider spending a feat on Exotic Weapon Profiency for Dao, gives you a light offhand [weapon] with the stats of a longsword.

At lower levels, I like to throw Web with the wizard, move the druid up or down the sequence until just in front of the wizard, and then use the druid to burn the web using Produce Flame, followed immediately by recasting Web with the wizard. It keeps the bad guys slowed down for 2 or 3 turns and whittles them down a bit. Low level Fireball!

One thing I would suggest for better game play is for wizards to take the "ability improvement" spells on level-ups, even taking the 2nd level spells when you could get higher level spells, since only Cat's Grace is available on a scroll to find. Burne doesn't offer them, and by the time you get to Verbobonc, you will have missed the chance to help the party by crafting +2, +4, or +6 items for STR, DEX, CON, etc. These type items make a huge difference, not just in combat, but giving extra spell slots to spellcasters, making spell DC's harder, or extending spell duration. I give everyone (except maybe the rogue who needs the tools or Vest of Escape) a Giant's Belt +6, even the wizard, so he/she can carry more stuff.

Copy Scroll requires a Spellcraft skill check (INT), with the spell level +10 as the DC. If you are having a hard time copying some spells, then using a scholar's kit helps (+2), as well Guidance spell (+1), bard's Competence (+2), Prayer (+1), or Fox's Cunning (+2) can help. Of course, saving before attempting is the easiest way to go.

In the fight with the bugbears where there are several females, plus about 20 males in one room is a killer, especially when the fight starts before you can get everyone in the room. A wizard/sorcerer with Improved Initiative, throws out the Stinking Cloud, with some backup from bards and clerics, with a spiritual weapon and a grease or web, and you can stand back and pick them off with missile weapons, If any get through, they are so weak and sickened that your tank can finish them off easily.

I like the combo of a web, then fireball, for extra fire damage.

Late in the game I like to rest in the big round room near where the Hedrack fight happens. I get giants, ettins, a dozen gargoyles, or oozes. All provide decent XP for high level parties, and the giants and ettins have lots of gems that can be converted to cash for crafting purposes.

Those druid Spike Stone spells are great AoE spells. I like it in the temple fight on the 4th level, everyone runs towards the doorway and into the spikes, where I also lay off some webs and grease, then pump in the fireballs. Disrupts the spellcasters everytime.

I used to use wizards for damage, but I've noticed where they really shine is crowd control. Deep Slumber, Charm, Hold Person, Tasha'a Hideous Laughter - all those make that fight relatively simple. Just make sure you also take Fox's Cunning so you can buff up your DC even higher.

Ranged sneak attacks are more tricky to set up than simply flanking (you cannot flank with ranged in Core 3.5e rules anyway as flanking requires you to THREATEN and ranged weapons do not threaten without special feats/spells outside of Core books). Easiest way is to use Glitterdust or Blindness to blind your foes; they are effectively denied their dex bonus to ac under blindness condition which makes them eligible for sneak attacks regardless of whether you flank or not. In PnP Grease also sets targets up to be considered flatfooted, but I've not tested this in TOEE. Attacking while invisible is similar to attacking a blinded target, their dex bonus is denied against your attack which sets up for a sneak attack. However this works only on the first attack with standard Invisibility as attacking immediately breaks your invisibility, unless you are Improved/Greater Invisible in which case you can sneak attack to your heart's content. There are other ways, but those are some of the more common.

It is when they lose the DEX bonus to AC. So you could get sneak attacks off when they are webbed, entangled, prone, by using Feint and so on.

One other thing people might want to keep in mind is the use of slings. If you have a character who has a high strength, they get to add that bonus to damage and NOT be limited as a strength bow is. For example, if you somehow had a character with a 30 strength, then they would add +10 to the damage for each shot. Also as it is considered a simple weapon, your sorcerers and druids can pelt away and not have to worry about using up a feat or dipping into another class to use them. Plus as they are a blunt weapon, fighting skeletons and some oozes and puddings are bait while your bolts and arrows do nada or even add to the number of your enemies. Add crafting, weapon focus and specialization and you can have even more damage as the bullets fly.

If you summon Magma Mephits and have them show up far away from your group, when they die they explode for mega damage.

I usually use it to sneak my wizard/sorcerer in for the first-cast of cone of cold. Have to constantly resist the temptation to abuse Holy Word on an invisible cleric.

Holy Word can clear at least 4 or 5 slavers, what with its massive area of effect and its 1600+ damage.

Charm Person works wonders on the Slavers. Fighters/Rogues have pretty weak will saves. It can even help you to split up the exp allotment, letting you gain even more exp overall.

I usually hit the Moathouse at level 2, since I find the Hommlet fedex quests tedious. The key is to be very timid and back off after taking significant injuries in any fight (which is sometimes running into random pirates on the way!) In parties featuring a druid, I find charming either a giant frog or giant lizard to be very helpful with the bandits. At low levels, my arcane spells of choice are grease and summon monster 1. Magic missile is great for the occasions when you have a raging barbarian with 2 remaining hit points that you absolutely have to take down NOW before he kills someone (and even moreso when you can use it to mop up 3 or 4 such in one round) and because spell resistance aside it can hurt everything in the game, but at low level, True Strike and a heavy xbow is probably more effective.
When your melee characters are lower than level 5, you are better off charging your enemies (unless they are capable of making multiple attacks per round, in which case you should ALWAYS wait for them to come to you so that they either don't get an attack or they can only make one attack against you in that round) (except for monks who use Flurry of Blows, and characters who use Two-Weapon Fighting) because:
* you can move twice as far as normal and still get an attack
* you gain a +2 bonus to Attack due to charging
* you get to attack first (and hopefully kill your target before they get to act, whether it be in the first round or a subsequent round)
(Charging is a radial menu option)
Melee characters that have multiple attacks (due to level, using Flurry of Blows, Two-Weapon Fighting, and/or under the effect of a Haste spell) are better off delaying their action and letting opponents come to them so that they can use their multiple attacks.

If you are finding a combat with multiple opponents too difficult, then you can use the following game exploit to make the combat easier. Hostile creatures will only be in combat with your party if they are close enough to see any of your characters. Once combat with multiple opponents has started, if you don't move any of your characters closer to the enemy but instead retreat or have your characters maintain their position and wait for the enemy to come to your characters, then you will have the minimum number of opponents in combat against you at a time. Then when you've killed the opponents that advanced to you, you can move your party a bit closer to the next lot of hostile creatures and use the same tactic again. This way, you can break up an extremely difficult combat against a lot of opponents into multiple combats against a small number of opponents at a time.

If you are having difficulty with any of the combats later on in the game, then the following are effective tactics to use. The following example is against the Balor Guardian but you could adapt the tactics for any high-level combat:

Position ALL of your characters JUST out of range of where the Balor Guardian triggers dialogue with your party. Then cast the following buffing spells just before you enter combat (in the following order):
Stoneskin
Death Ward
Enlarge Person
Greater Heroism (makes the recipient immune to fear)
Prayer (make sure that you get everybody within the radius of the spell, including the Balor Guardian and the Efreet)
Haste

When the Balor Guardian summons a powerful creature, use the Orb of Golden Death (it's a radial menu option) to keep summoning powerful creatures adjacent to the enemy creature.

One of the most useful creatures to summon is a Bearded Devil (Summon Monster V?). Bearded Devils have DR(5/Holy), DR(5/Silver), DResistance (10/-), Immunity (Fire), so they can absorb a lot of attacks before they die. They are great for summoning next to a high level enemy rogue so that the enemy rogue will hopefully sneak attack and perform Crippling Strike on the Bearded Devil instead of any of your characters.

When you are about to face an opponent that casts very damaging fire or cold or electrical damage spells at your party, pre-buff your characters with the appropriate Resist Energy spells before you enter combat with such opponents. Resist Energy is an amazing and extremely powerful spell because it can absorb so much elemental damage and the spell lasts for a long time. Of course, you won't need to cast Resist Energy if you already have or you forge the appropriate major rings of elemental resistance for your characters to wear.

How to defeat the avatars of Iuz and St. Cuthbert during the 'Demons & Demigods' quest:

Originally posted by wasbear:

It was surprisingly easy at the end. I was playing with a CN cleric 19 of Obad-Hai/fighter 1 (chaotic evil party). First of all, you can prebuff before the fight, since the encounter is triggered by talking to Lady Asherah after the dinner. I cast 10+ stoneskins (from a wand), extended righteous might (important), extended divine power and haste (from wand or boots) before the fight. The weapon of choice is Scather/Fragarach with power attack on maximum. If you use it as a two-handed weapon (no exotic weapon proficiency), you can get up to +70 guaranteed damage from power attack alone, plus all the strength modifiers, etc. Armor and shield don't matter, since you'll get hit anyway.

Anyway, once the fight starts, run away from the avatars and draw 1-3 of them after you. The avatars have a reach of 5 feet, whereas you have a reach of 10 feet. Thus, you should take a 5-foot step before every full attack and the avatars will only be able to do 1 attack per turn each. Once you don't have to face ~15 attacks per round from each avatar, the battle becomes almost too easy.

The same strategy should also work for Iuz, although a CG character may be able to go toe to toe and finish them off all at once with inifinite AOOs.

I was able to prebuff before the fight and also teleport out using the Helm of Teleportation. I could then reenter the Arena and the avatars were still there, waiting for me.

At level 20, you can set your power attack up to 20 (full BAB class). Cast divine power twice and you should be able to set it to 40. The bonus is doubled for two-handed weapons to give a potential 80 bonus damage. The cleric I used only had a BAB of 15, so 2x(15+20)=70 bonus damage per hit.

You have to be careful since their crits/sneak attacks may go through all the stoneskins. Then just stand there and take their hits - hitting them with infinite AOOs when they hit you. I had to cast Heal once during the fight, but otherwise it was quite easy.

After numerous failures, here's how I beat the 4 Iuz avatars. My party has six 20th level PC's -- Paladin, Fighter/Barb Rogue, Wizard, and Sorceror. Rogue has max ranks Use Magic Device Skill and scrolls of mass heal. Paladin has Golden Skull with all the Gems, Fighter/Barb has Scather, Cleric has Lareth's Club. Sorceror summoned elder elementals to occupy avatars, Paladin used Golden skull to summon demons to occupy avatars (one avatar even got sickened from the Hezrou stench). Balor was a waste of time, just cast dispel magic on my party before getting whacked by an avatar and exploding. Rogue used scrolls to cast mass heal on party. Wizard cast buffs on party (haste, quickened stone skin, forgot the rest). Before fight, Cleric cast multiple Heroes Feast spells on party. During the fight, Cleric cast quickened Greater Magic Weapon on Lareth's club and quickened Divine Favor, Divine Power, and Righteous Might on self. CG Barb raged and increased Power Attack to maximum. Summoned elementals and demons kept the avatars tied up, mass heal kept everyone alive, the haste gave extra movement and attacks, the stone skin helped keep the Fighter/Barb alive. Scather worked ok, but had difficulty keeping the Fighter/Barb alive since could only get a single stone skin spell per round on him from the wizard. Most effective was cleric with Lareth's club. Just about never missed the avatars and did massive damage. Cleric killed one avatar in a single full round attack. Still a very, very nasty fight.

On the dismissal spell that worked on 1 Iuz, 1 time, I found out later from replays of old saves that DC=1 for dismissal of Iuzes and Cuthberts. That 1 Iuz must have rolled a critical miss of 1 to save vs <extraplanar> dismissal after the spell got through his SR. Never happened again.

Party of 6 PCs. Wiz19/Barb1. Cle19. Sorc10/Monk5. Dru19/Barb1. Ftr10/Barb10. Bard10/Rog10.
Basically, my Wiz cast Enlarge Person on Fighter10/Barb10 with Scather, Power attack at Max, Hastened by the Bard. That way he can hit hard while out of reach.
Druid keep summoning Earth elementals, they last longer. When wizard not busy casting Stoneskin (wand) on Fighter (which is every other turn) he summons chain devils. They don't die!!!!!!! They have troll-like regeneration. You'll be surprised then of other interesting summons. Nixies and Pixies are good! Forget Bears and the like. Cleric can offer herself as decoy using meld into stone (she has the periapt of wound closure as well, what can I say, I have a soft spot for her,"Hope"). Sorcerer helps with other summons, healing, Stoneskins, etc..... Same the Bard.
To draw sums, keep the Iuzes distracted while your "muscles" hack at them. And one more thing, you took "Improved initiative" feat, noooooo?

After many failed attempts to defeat the 4 avatars of Iuz, I finally defeated all of them.

Thought I would share my method.

First I was able to pre buff, which was a pleasant surprise. All previous times I went to talk with Lady A and enjoyed an evening of pleasure. After the blank cut scene, game would immediately go to dialog and then I am sent off to fight. However, this time after the scene, I am just standing around in the room. I took the chance to buff up to the max, then I started the dialog with Lady A (when I was ready). Honestly I am not sure why or how this happened, but it was helpful.


On to the actual battle.
My previous attempts used a lot of wasted spells trying to damage Iuz. Polar Rays, Slay Living, and others all used but then proved to have no effect. That resulted in a LOT of wasted time.

This attempt I changed plan to cast as many summoned creatures to fight Iuz (and take damage) for me. Tough to surround all 4 in first couple rounds. But it is possible. A quickened lower level Summon Monster and another Summon Monster is possible from a couple spells casters. Continue to summon many creatures (and Magnificant sword and/or spiritual weapon) to fight. Mainly spellcasters are to occupy and distract (with creatures who take damage for party) and not so much to damage Iuz. Many Earth Elementals proved to be helpful.

Fighters and others. Perhaps 2 attackers at a time carefully approach an Iuz (who is busy dealing with summoned creatures) 5 foot step is Important,as you do NOT want to have to take FULL attack from Iuz. Hopefully you can attack and have Iuz still continue to attack summoned creatures, but no promise there Also Cleave allows him to strike you after he kilss a summoned creature.

I have a Monk in the party who had nice high AC, but did limited damage. So I used Monk to run around using Scrolls to heal party members. You need many significant scrolls or potions. Cure light wounds has limited effectiveness as it heals 5-10 points of damage (something like that) but you will take 50 points of damage easily from Iuz. Cure critical wounds and Heal spells are needed and lots of them.
I also have Cleric use Miracle spell twice. Miracle is nice, but the character returns to live with limited HPs. A Heal spell is needed in next round (or from another Character).
I had a pure fighter "die" 3 times in the fight, only to be "saved" by miracle spells and raise dead.

I have a party of 6 20th level characters and the fight took a LONG time
45 mins (I think of actual real time)

In one fight I had a chain devil at -2400 hps, while my guys stood back for a while then moved in behind him.

  • The Appraise skill influences market prices when bartering with townspeople.

  • Use the Delay action (by dragging your Initiative portrait left and right while in battle) in order to best position your characters.

Re: game guide & walkthrough for the Circle of Eight modpack NC

34. Opponents' stats

Note: the HP stated for each monster/opponent are only for when both Max HP for NPCs (From Levels) and Max HP for NPCs (From HD) are enabled in the options in the ToEE Front-End X.

For me, the most difficult opponents in the game were (in order of difficulty):

1. the opponents in the 'Demons & Demigods' quest combat
2. the slave traders (level 16 sorceress / level 4 fighter, level 20 fighter, level 18 fighter, level 18 rogue, level 18 cleric, level 10 rogue / level 10 fighter, level 18 barbarian)
3. Hextor cell in the Temple of Elemental Evil ('Monster Mash' quest)
4. 6 Noble Salamanders guarding the chest in the Fire Node
5. Canon Thaddeus' defensive square ('Contract on Canon Thaddeus' quest)
6. 4 Ice Tyrants in the Water Node
7. Balor Guardian and 2 Efreeti in the Fire Node
8. Hezrou Guardian in the Water Node
9. 2 Gorgons in the Earth Node

The following combats are very difficult if you do them as soon as you are able to in the game and you don't have an uber party (in chronological order):

1. Lareth and his guards (moathouse dungeon)
2. the assassin random encounter
3. the Hill Giant at Emridy Meadows
4. the Fiendish Minotaur (Hickory Branch)
5. Lord Hungous and his entourage (Hickory Branch)
6. the third and last contest in the Arena of Heroes
7. the unarmed duel with Tolub (Boatmen's Tavern in Nulb)
8. the Nulb house ambush
9. the brigands in the tower outside the Temple of Elemental Evil

Re: game guide & walkthrough for the Circle of Eight modpack NC

35. Cheat codes

Originally posted by Gaear:

It should be pointed out that due to our inability to effectively troubleshoot games that have been self-modded via console use, using the console to input items voids your Co8 warranty. This means that pleas for help with CTDs, hangs, and other bugs will fall on deaf ears.

The reason for this is very simple: Inputting a 'bad' proto (one that is nonexistant or is not meant to be used in-game) can result in save game corruption long after the fact. e.g., if you input item code 0000 via the console, but there is no item #0000, the game will not object at the time. However, if you save your game afterwards, the game will forever look for the nonexistant item whenever you revisit the map where you inputted it via the console. When it can't find it, the game will CTD. This could be weeks after the fact, and you may have lost all memory of even trying to input an item at that location, so you may run to the bug report thread and inform us of a modpack bug that is not really even a bug but an error on your part.

Being as there's no way for us or the game to track your console activities, our only option is to disregard your bug reports if you use the console. For this reason, Co8 strongly recommends that you do not use the console, particularly for adding items via the give or create commands. Casual gamers who are just trying to play the game should simply refrain from console use altogether, and modders and hardcore gamers determined to use it anyway should first educate themselves on the vagaries of the ToEE engine (a fairly daunting proposition) before becoming 'consolers.'
For the full list of cheat codes and how to use them, click on the following link:

http://www.co8.org/forum/showpost.php?p=11422&postcount=1



Cheat codes not listed in the link above:

For any of the cheat codes that the Circle of Eight team have created to work, you must first enter the following cheat code in the console beforehand:

from t import *

Once you've entered the above cheat code in the console, the following Co8 created cheat codes will now work:

Warning: I strongly advise that you never use either the console code t() or uberizemajor() because after I had entered both of those console codes, if I tried to loot any corpse or click on any item in any of my characters' inventories, then the game permanently stopped responding (crashed/hung/locked up)!



t()

(teleports your party to Hommlet and gives all of your characters the following:

Strength 24
Dexterity 24
Constitution 24
Wisdom 24
Charisma 24
~ +65 HP
Longsword +5
Holy Ranseur +1
Masterwork Light Crossbow
Wand of Knock
Wand of Fireball (9th)
Bracers of Armor +5
Amulet of Natural Armor +5
Ring of Fire Resistance, Minor
10 Bolts +3
Greater Temple Black Robes
Eye of Flame Cloak)



uberizemajor()

(gives all of your characters the following:

Strength 210
Dexterity 100
Constitution 45
Wisdom 100
Charisma 100
317 HP)



loc()

(that will give you your x and y coordinates on the map)



tp(5051,481,446)

(this should teleport your party outside the door of your house in Nulb)



tp(5121,480,480)

(teleports your party to Verbobonc)



tp(5067,488,539)

(teleports your party to the Temple of Elemental Evil dungeon level 2)



tp(5080,479,588)

(teleports your party to the Temple of Elemental Evil dungeon level 4)



tp(5081,477,483)

(teleports your party to the Air Node)



tp(5082,484,473)

(teleports your party to the Earth Node)



tp(5083,505,495)

(teleports your party to the Fire Node)



firenode()

(teleports your party to the Fire Node)



How to change a cleric's domains:

You can change it, but it will only take effect after you level up.

The relevant command is:

game.party[x].obj_set_int(obj_f_critter_domain_1, #)
game.party[x].obj_set_int(obj_f_critter_domain_2, #)


[where x = character number from left of screen (remember they start at 0)]
[where # is a number between 0 and 23 (see list below)]

Also, it will not erase the spells gained from the previous domain.
Furthermore, you won't be able to memorize spells from opposite alignments, even though they'll appear on the memorizable list (they'll just be greyed out).
Originally posted by krokyk:

Found [the following list] in spell_enum.mes. Do not use the whole numbers, though, just the last 1 or 2 digits:

{10500}{domain_none}
{10501}{domain_air}
{10502}{domain_animal}
{10503}{domain_chaos}
{10504}{domain_death}
{10505}{domain_destruction}
{10506}{domain_earth}
{10507}{domain_evil}
{10508}{domain_fire}
{10509}{domain_good}
{10510}{domain_healing}
{10511}{domain_knowledge}
{10512}{domain_law}
{10513}{domain_luck}
{10514}{domain_magic}
{10515}{domain_plant}
{10516}{domain_protection}
{10517}{domain_strength}
{10518}{domain_sun}
{10519}{domain_travel}
{10520}{domain_trickery}
{10521}{domain_war}
{10522}{domain_water}
{10523}{domain_special}

So to change the first domain to let's say Destruction in console you'll type

game.party[x].obj_set_int(obj_f_critter_domain_1, 5)

To change the second to Strength:

game.party[x].obj_set_int(obj_f_critter_domain_2, 17)

As it was mentioned, you'll retain all spells from the previous domains (you will receive new just for your current domains).
For a list of all of the items and NPCs for use with the cheat codes, use a text editor (e.g. Notepad) to read the following files in your game directory:

\data\mes\description.mes

\data\mes\long_description.mes

36. List of game areas for use with the cheat codes

To add one of the following areas to your world map (that you can then travel to), type the following cheat code:

game.areas[#] = 1

where # is one of the numbers below

1 Hommlet
2 Moathouse
3 Nulb
4 Temple of Elemental Evil
5 Emridy Meadows
6 Imeryds Run
7 Welkwood Bog
8 Moathouse Cave Exit
9 Hickory Branch
10 Deklo Grove
11 Burnt Farmhouse
12 Cave Lair
14 Verbobonc
15 Verbobonc Cave Exit
16 Hommlet Quarry

39. Modding the game

For the tool to mod the game (called ToEE World Builder) and tutorials on modding, see the following link:

Regarding creating content for inclusion in The Circle of Eight Modpack NC (especially when creating new maps or re-using existing maps):

Originally posted by Gaear:
Quote:
ToEE's 2D isometric structure. As far as this goes, here is the deal (and don't take this the wrong way but it's pretty much set in stone):

The only 2D custom art that has been deemed acceptable over the long haul is reworked original art, which I do a lot of (think almost all our NC maps, to various degrees), and exceptionally well done original art. This has really only been art with post production done by vampricpuppy, who is a professional artist/Photoshop guy (think Moathouse Respawn's Gnarley Forest map and the KotB stuff he's done). The reason for this high standard is that poorly done or even middlingly well done art brings the whole operation down to its level. Thus, a mod that is otherwise outstanding (I'm not saying ours is, necessarily, just illustrating) will only be 'decent' if the art is only decent. So we are really protecting everyone else's investment over the years and the community's reputation by maintaining high artistic standards. Some people view this as elitist or whatever, but I only view it as necessary. No offense intended to anybody, but garbage in equals garbage out. There's also the concern over aesthetic themes, which shouldn't be muddied. (e.g. we wouldn't add death metal tunes to the vanilla soundtrack.)

BUT, all is not lost. I've become something of an old hand at manipulating existing art, so I would be happy to work up [map] environments for you if you'd like me to help. We'll have to get creative with it, because we don't want to reuse the same stuff over and over (the ogre cave comes to mind - already used three times, and the Moathouse exit exterior - already used three times). But we'll figure something out.

The LG [Lawful Good] vignette map [is already used as] the gnoll ambush RE [Random Encounter] map. Also, it doesn't function well as an RE map due to some vagaries with core stuff - RE maps are supposed to auto-find where you were on the worldmap and put you back there when you leave the RE map, but that one doesn't (it puts you at the ToEE), because it's only a quasi-RE map. It was added to the RE map list by Spellslinger in a .dll hack, but it's not a true RE map.


The problem of NPCs returning to their home map is a longstanding one in ToEE. You can actually find the fugitives' bodies back on their home maps if you kill them. Fixing that whole defect will require some doing beyond scripting, as it's a core function (apparently) for NPCs to return to their home maps. Basically you'd have to give them a home map in a dead area that no one ever goes to and use the day/night standpoint process to put them on the maps where you actually find them in-game. That way when they die or wake up or whatever and 'go home,' they'll be stuck in some dead zone where the player will never see them.


Note that heartbeat scripts are preferable (imo) to first heartbeat scripts on big maps to achieve the same results. I've found through much heartache that first heartbeats don't fire reliably on big maps, but being as regular heartbeats fire every second or so, they'll register properly eventually. First heartbeats are 'all or nothing.'
