It is so easy to get the maps to the later areas, why fight all the armies with droids? Its just another strategy that works for no loss, definitely not the best though.

This is the best strategy for beginners and for advance quick in the first islands, i dont doubt it. But u dont need to get the amulet of iluminaton that quick, that doesnt matter nothing with no losses game. And for a beginner, the need of kite the whole bolo island for getting into the cave should be a bit hard. U just need to get the exp shrine at the right stairway and the fish mission on debir island (leveling quick to level 3) and get the medals of no losses battles. With that on level 3, u have advantaje to solve any big army for the rest of the 3 first islands. And it seems is stupid , but it isnt. A lot of people just try to clear only the first island first, or they dont pick the exp shrine on bolo (this is basic), or they dont do the tutorial. Its a big difference between doing this or not.

Clinek, I think it was a very good and simple guide! Even though im a new to Kings bounty i could easily follow it until the map kiting at Verona for Elon map. That guard just simply won´t move AT ALL until you are face to face with him and he starts the fight..He doesent even get those red dots..Is it really possible to kite him?

Kiting the map guards really depends on what unit they're lead by. Some mobs are really easy to kite (Devilfish come to mind) and others can be really, really, hard (like Beholders or Pirates/Sea Dogs). Sometimes it is possible to find a unit that you cannot kite, but it's rare. It happened to me in my current game, where I had a Ogre on Dersu who was literally stuck in the trees. He would show exclamation marks but wouldn't actually move to chase me. Oh well.

but the Verona mapguard doesnt show any exclamation marks whatsoever no matter how close to him i get..

That the one on Bola? Yes, it will not move. The verona map on Scarlet is kitable however.

Not sure about Rusty, but I don't honestly remember where it spawns there.

He is talking about the map in verona right by the ghost ship and yes, that map is very kitable. I would not tell you to look for that one if i wasn't 100% sure it can be done. i personally have done it several times within the last couple days (im trying for seven days no loss). Approach the monster from the left. Get close to him then save the game. When you are close, click on the horses head so that you only move a little bit. Keep doing this and save each time so you can find out how close you need to get to the monster before they chase you. The red exclamation point will pop up, you just have to approach different monsters at different angles for it to happen. Remember, kiting is diffferent for each monster, in each area; you have to learn how to deal with each.

Oh, the map to Elon. Sorry, I didn't read the thread too thoroughly. Hmm, don't think I've tried to kite that one before (Only map I've really tried to kite is the one to verona from scarlet).
