You can either drink a healing potion or use a crystal to heal him.

Re: Help! Hard battle in pyramid!

When I did it on Hard, I too was low level and had to attempt it about 30-40 times to finally nail it. A couple tips: 1) When you first arrive, step either immediately forward or immediately backward. The two Medusas will immediately attack when you arrive, and you can dodge two hits (and they're ST...

Re: Balance Changes

I agree with most of these, but I'd disagree with Evasion being a problem - people are expecting to go full Evasion tank with no armor, when that isn't intended. A moderately evasive character wearing armor does just fine. I just completed a Hard mode run with two tanks - a Barbarian wearing Light a...

Re: Spoilers. Finished it, here's my review and thoughts.

You don't need to use the lightning bolt spell to solve that puzzle in the crystal mines. You can just throw a lightning bomb at the receptor. (Unless you're out of lightning bombs too...maybe you can also throw a lightning rod or something at it, wouldn't be surprised) They also provide Lightning ...

Re: Secret room in sewers

Didn't have trouble on this, but I did move to each square of each island before going to the next one when I did it. I have always done this and it's always worked for me. I also watched someone else do the same puzzle with them just stepping on the first tile after climbing the ladder and then ju...

Throwing weapon specials bug?

I've been enjoying having a Throwing Weapons specialist, but I just noticed something weird. When using the Volley of Stars special, it will only throw the three shurikens and not anything from my other hand. I had assumed that this was because it was a special attack. However, now that I have Throw...

Re: Chest at Shipwreck beach.

That looks like the pit beneath the puzzle for one of the Power orbs. When doing that puzzle from one side, one gate will be open with a teleporter and the other closed. Once you reach the other side and hit the lever, the gates switch. All it does is make you go through the puzzle from both sides, ...

Re: Farmer XP testing

Wow, so the spirit mirror pendant works for the farmer? That's pretty awesome since you could presumably have it equipped on one of your other classes and then just swap out whenever you eat.

Re: I hope there is enough lockpicks in this game...

I currently have about 15 lockpicks. They're pretty common, especially if you aren't that great at getting 100% of the secrets.

Gold keys are the much more valuable commodity from what I've found.
