Spider no loss without Magic Spring ?

[Snow11]

Oh lol i didnt know that completing the zombie womam quest gives call colossus
I jumped on the spider before finishing all quests and mobs
Still is it possible to heal the cyclopes? Anyway i have 0 mana regen as viking and only 45+ mana i dont think it's enouth to beat him with such strategy.
I'll try though with 5-6 trolls, may be it will work.

In my 2 playthroughs, the zombie woman quest only gave me a... [drum roll] leather shield.

I'm not sure how I got my Call Colossus scroll though. I "think" I found it in combat (that's the only way you can find an item that you wouldn't normally spot with the scanner).

Not to mention, I don't think you can get Wanderer scrolls besides getting a duplicate map (which happens after the 4 viking islands I think?) or in combat (get those chests and hope for a wanderer scroll!).

Viking/Warrior doesn't suck. It is a much harder beginning though since you can only use scrolls.

You need a few call of nature scrolls to no loss ahriman. Ironically, I no lossed the spider with Viking/Warrior not the Soothsayer/Mage.

You clearly haven't seen how much damage a Viking/Warrior can do thanks to the buff they get for critical hit damage. Although mage spell nuke has been buffed too. Maybe I will continue my Viking/Warrior as I beat the game prematurely at level 55 or so.

The zombie woman gives the shield, but finishing the quest (after killing the devil fish and returning the woman to the lighthouse) gives the Call Colossus scroll. I do not think the quests rewards are randomized... Are they ???

For the wanderer scrolls, indeed it is in combat and it happens one times before finishing the 4 viking islands when delivering runwald (I had a flaming eye).

I know the Viking does not suck, it is just that I found it very less fun than skald or soothsayer. But indeed, I did not go far enough to have a clear idea. And as soon as I totally no loss with soothsayer, I may try a Viking
Not only Ahriman, it is the necromancer which is also tough... In my Viking game, Ahriman were beaten in 2 turns very easily without loss but the necromancer were way way too strong... Even with 3 call of nature scrolls...

Quest rewards are not randomized. However, did you get the Call Colossus scroll as a Soothsayer? I wonder if it is locked to your class; because I don't remember how I got mine and I did get it before the spider with my Soothsayer playthrough.

Fair enough (regarding Viking). Wow, two turns? How? I think the enemy hero mob sizes are randomized though, especially Ahriman and the Necromancer.

As food for thought, when I first fought Zal (the undead death knight guarding Rezo) with a Viking, I was fighting HUGE stacks of necromancers.

When I played as Soothsayer, it was nothing. However, one of the undead units on the beach had like 2x 9K skeleton stacks. ?!?!?

I beated 5 big packs of skeletons with 1/1/1 Soothsayer + Axe Thrower + Slingers and with Call of Nature lvl 2.

But it was about 2x300 + 3x300, not 2x 900, wow, impossible for this amount !

The thing is, when I beated Ahriman and the necromancer as a Soothsayer without loss, I did not beated all the troops on the first island, I came back later to clean the island

I finished the Ulrika quest but no call colossus scroll, only some shield and when i bring her to the lighthouse i got nothing either.
I guess i'll start from the beggining.

I play as viking becouse i like to use the rage abilities and also i finished crosswords with no loss impossible as mage and i got tired of so many spells. I need something different before i try as mage again.

As for the bosses on the first isle it depends how much leadership thay have as it can be 2x difference. On my first try i killed the one outside the cave but the one inside was insane with like 40+ archers + 2 stacks of 50 skeletons + the other units.
On my second run tho thay both were weak and doable with few scrolls.

There are many changes from AP/CW in magic spells, Rune magic seems pretty fun.

For ahriman and the necro, yeah it seems so as I read a lot on it.

May be the Call Colossus spell is only for Soothsayer, it is really possible !

Congrats! I'm surprised you won with giants? I guess as long as you get to them to the right corner it doesn't matter?
