Bonus Quest


At the end of of Pools of Darkness, after you have beaten the game, there is a bonus quest which you can choose to play or can decide not to and sail away on a ship into the sunset or something like that. (It's been a while)

Anyway the bonus quest consists of your party going around in battle mode fighting your way through a maze. You are not able to rest, or rememorize spells. When you defeat a battle, you choose a direction to leave the battlefield and are immediately forced into another battle, and on and on, etc till you battle your way out. I've never made it through. Interestingly enough, I found a walkthrough that was made only a couple of years ago. It contains a map of "Dave's Challenge" (the bonus quest)

Re: Bonus Quest


Yeah me neither. I tried looking around for info on the bonus quest maybe a few years back but was unable to find much on it. Now at least we have a map to use. Let us know if you get through to the end and beat the bonus quest + tell us what happens at the end. I'll have to go back through it myself sometime. emoticon

Re: Bonus Quest


Hi,

still fighting with the bonus challenge.

But I found out one very important piece of information. What the walktrough says about turning undead (that it is not working) is not true. My level 40 paladin and the level 39 cleric were quite successful with it. At least in the parts I have reached yet.

Also in one two rooms were other monsters than it said. So they may vary as well.

Regards,
Kurna

Re: Bonus Quest


Woah. Random monster attacks. That could be beneficial....If your lucky enough to get the lesser damage inflicing baddies. Or could end up being a shockingly excruciatingly painful experience. Hope you have lots of potions of extra healing saved up.

Re: Bonus Quest


Arg, I had a computer crash last week! And I lost all my savegames from PoD!

I had just decided to re-start the bonus quest and try a new approach.

Nooooooo! I hope your characters haven't all been transfered through the whole series only to lose them now.

Not all 4, but I had played Secret and PoD with them.

I don't think I will have the motivation to restart soon, but rather try again one of the other classics.

Which reminds me, I also lost my Bard's Tale savegames, but there the characters were just level 12 or so. And it's not the same, anyway.

The one time I recall doing it, the difficulty was automatically maxed out I believe.
