Well, apparently winning the game like 12 times isn't enough. I've decided to do a 'fast' no loss run through, going the minimum number of trips to each island.

I know some people have figured out the 'best' way of doing it, but I wanted to try and figure it out by myself. Here's my route:

Debir (Clean, steal scrolls in Eventus)
Scarlet (Clean, quest for Rusty
Bolo (Clean completely)
Rusty (Clean, maybe leave zag-zag. Get password for Scarlet, have 50-50-50)
Verona(As many quests as possible)
Montero (Get wings?)
Dersu (glasses for Bobur, bagourti in love, kill uzala)
Tekron (CLEAN COMPLETELY, including abyss!)
Umkas (Clean completely... what if we need wings? Might need wings of Necro call before this!)
Reha (pillage, get documents for Elon)
Nameless (At the very least clean dungeon, and get all quests for elsewhere)
Uzala(Defeat Ruler, get all pearls, clean)
Elon (Rescue Telion and kill Shenobi, buy demon skin, Astrology, hunchback cure)
Rusty (Deliver cure, zag-zag if not)
Scarlet (Open cave, time back scroll, get chest
Debir (Finish tower of eventus, return that one chick)
Verona (Deliver papers to degosh, get astrology stuff, wings if not already, clean anything else missed, nameless quest, Demenion)
Dersu(drop off shenobi, kill frog, deliver glasses)
Uzala(Turn in quest)
Shattera(get soul for Lew Klisan, kill Scrounger, clean)
Elon(Deliver soul, kill Gremlion)
Reha (Clean, kill K'tahu)
Verona(finish)

So far so good, halfway through Scarlet. I was hoping to do the first Eventus fight to see what scrolls they had on level two, but it just wasn't reasonable.

The new shop on Debir sold two Engineers, so I gladly purchased them (area blind is rather good that early in the game ). Debir had the ancient amulet... but good luck getting 50k before leaving the island! DID dig up Fear early on, so that's nice. Also did a quikc test 'run' to Rusty Anchor and found the shop there selling Green Dragons, so I don't need to stress out about getting the pirates/robbers before getting there. (though I may anyway since that cave is loot city, and the EGD is free).

Anyone have luck defeating the Kraken before leaving the second island? I think it may be doable, but not sure.

I don't normally use the save game scanner, but I'm considering it just to make sure there is a timeback scroll (or two !). Not being able to finish that quest sounds infuriating.

About defeating kraken before leaving 2nd island, i never try it in the new patch, but on previous patch it is easily doable with warrior and paladin for true no loss, but i never tried it with mage.

Usually i just use archmage/inquisitor, rune mage (must reach 2k leadership before leaving 2nd island), royal thorn, orc tracker. It is possible to replace rune mage with red dragon if you replay battles for call of colosus, but i usually save my call of colosus for black dragon, so that i can clear all rusty with ease, that zag zag guy is considered as the hardest obstacle in rusty anchor by most people for 7 days no loss run (especially if they use call of colosus for red dragon), but he is nothing with a black dragon, and black dragon in KB CW is much better than in AP or TL.

I barely have 1k as a mage, so I don't think a Rune mage is going to be on the table. Not even sure there are enough fights to get Tactics 2, and the idea of blowing a lot of mind runes for leadership doesn't sound like a good idea at the moment.

Also.. why bother with Zag-Zag on Rusty? You can get him later, and he isn't worth that much xp and gold anyway?

Crap, I just realized I forgot to kill the necromancer in Debir, Guess I'll reload my pre-leave save. Doh!

It hurt my time, but I snuck to Verona to get Call Phoenix, that is how I killed the Kraken.

I might have also had Jesus Boots ... er Sandals of the Martyr.

Not sure if you want to hear too many hints, if not then consider


















Also, you can save time if you can kill Ktahu the first time you go to Reha.
