Mission Hints

Never leave a level without discovering all the map. You may have finished a mission but You're able to continue exploring. Every item found on a map may be more powerful than these already processed by You. At least every item can be sold. You will never have enough money but for the two or three last missions. Second fact: Every killed enemy is a little training. There are no training facilities as in part one... And remember: once a mission is accomplished, you'll never be able to come back to that specific map later on. I've played the levels as they are arranged here. If You do otherwise You may miss a few of them or discover a level is still to hard. Every time in a mission You can choose "load game" and load the savegame "abort mission". Between the missions You can visit the town (Kaarg or the druids village). Never leave there without visiting the shop and the bar. Not to buy something (You don't have to, You know) but to see if there is any new mission. I think one should spend his money on spells first and armor second. You will find some good armors and weapons but only few books.

Tactics

If You cannot defeat an enemy leave Your mages bare handed. Now they will heal Your fighters while they do the fighting... Use poison cloud for far attacks because the enemies are poisoned and loosing hit points even without standing in the cloud. Teleport Your mage near to an enemy, poison it, teleport away... redo if necessary. Bats and ghost can be defeated on long distance by using fire balls. The "turn to stone spell" isn't that useful as in part one. I didn't even use it once... Instead the blizzard spell is wonderful!!! Use creatures (I prefer trolls) as punching balls. Train Your fighters sword, axe and so on skills on this creature while Your mages just heal the fighters... Same procedure as last point - but train Your mages abilities. Don't really kill the creature but let it heal so You can train longer. Maybe give Your fighter a bad weapon so he won't hurt the "punching ball" to much... Don't forget to heal Your fighter while he holds the creature! Also: set the autocast option to “max.” as often as possible. This way, your mage(s) will cast all available protection spells, thus gaining EXP and raising their skill levels Move step by step!!! Give Your characters time to recover from the last fight!!! Move step by step!!!

Spell Table

Snakes - poison cloud (water)
Squirrels - poison cloud (water)
Bees - fire ball (fire) or fire arrow (fire)
Bats - fire ball (fire)
Ghosts - fire ball (fire) or fire arrow (fire)
Turtles - drain life (astral)
Goblins - poison cloud (water)
Rocs - poison cloud (water) and lightning (air)
Ogres - poison cloud (water)
Trolls - fire wall (fire)
Dragons - blizzard (water) or turn to stone (earth) and use arrows
Humans - mostly poison cloud will do perfectly but some have high resistances...
Zombies - fire wall (fire)
Skeletons - fire wall (fire)
Wolfs - poison cloud (water)
Spiders - fire ball (fire) or fire arrow (fire)
Succubus - fire ball (fire)
Dinos - fire ball (fire) or fire arrow (fire)
High Level Creatures - Use the blizzard spell a few times and teleport away. The time You meet really high level creatures You've enough mana to do so! Select blizzard for Your auto cast spell and teleport around Your enemies. Works fine especially against groups of mages!

Multiplayer Maps Walktrough

Troll Valley:

Mages & Wariors:
This trick is easy to do. Right of the city where you start there are four bone snakes. And right below them there's a canyon with a purple troll (lvl 3) guarding it. Now put your weapon in your inventory and prepare to lure him. When ready lure him to the city. Remember that luring a monster can be hard because as soon as you make the distance between you and the moster too big, it'll go back and you can start over. As soon as the troll gets on the bridge the city guards will attack it. It's important to make sure you can hit the troll as well as the city guards. The mages won't have this problem because they can use their staff, but warriors have to use their bow, or make sure the 2nd warrior city guard doesn't get to the troll (considering the troll is allready hitting one of the city guards) before you do.

Mages only:
There's a shop that you'll have to reach to get this trick done. It's north-east of the town you start in. To reach it just go east over the bridge and go to the bone snakes. A little more east and you can go up. When you go up enough you'll see a ogre stick. (a stick marking ogre territory) There'll be 2 level 1 and 2 level 2 ogre's up ahead. You can do either 2 things. 1 = kill the trolls, 2 = run or teleport to the shop. Best is to kill the ogre's, because they may follow you to the shop. This is the first part.
Second part is to go to the broken pillar a couple of squares under the shop. From here you should be able to see a spot on the moutain that can be used to teleport to. It's a little hard to teleport to, and may take some practice. But when you've finally reached the place the reward is big. From here you'll be able to kill 2 lvl 3 trolls without any risk.

Kids Paradise:

Mages & Warriors:
This strategy is easy. Take your char left of the town. From there follow the road down. Once you arrive in the southwest corner of the map you'll encounter a ogre. Just make him follow you up the road again. You'll soon notice that he cant get past the 'entrance' formed by the trees. So if you go stand on the other side, it cant hurt you and you can fire at it.

Hints and game playing

This is where things get tricky. Rom is easy to play and tuff to advance. Until you learn how to advance your chr forward without getting killed is hard. I died alot with my mage and fighters too. I did not know many of the hints I will pass on to you New Players. First you need money. You get money by killing off the monsters and picking up there stuff (bags) and selling it. You then buy armor or mage clothes with absorb in it. Try to increase your absorb to 10 or 15. On easy maps this helps a lot n you won't get killed so often. Mages are weaker than Fighters so they get killed off more easily as their robs don't provide the defense and absorb that steel plate does. Buy the best armor and clothing you can afford. Don't for get the health potions or "pots" as they are called. Health pots when consumed will rasie your health even as your being attacked. When they are gone run! Speed of flight has saved many a chr. Keep in mind the old saying: "He who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day!" I am not saying be a coward. When you start out feel your way. Don't run in where you don't know how strong the enemy is. I should take my own advice. I died in Rom2 the other day exploring a new map. Most of the map was easy and then "wham" I was surround with enemy. I could drink my health pots fast enough to stay alive. I was 15K Health too! So even the best of us can die. I did have a back up so it was not a Huge loss. I tell you this because even a "pro" like me can get killed. If an enemy is too much run! Work on monsters you can kill. Buy more health pots and constantly up grade your clothes and armor. Body + armor is great especially after its +3 or +4. Look for it. Mages can use up to +5 body clothing. Fighters are mostly +4 on the plate. Bodymail shirts are +3 tops in Rom1 and +5 in Rom2.

Tips

Tip: Examine the equipment of hired mercenaries carefully. If they have something good, send them into danger alone and steal the equipment when they die.
Tip: Always clear out an entire level before declaring a mission complete; you'll need both the gold and the experience later.
Tip: During easy battles, switch your characters to secondary weapons, such as maces and pikes, to build up their skills in those areas.
