The 36th chamber of the Jade Sea Temple

[chattius 2,526]

It happened that a 2 year old girl with a pale skin and red hair was washed by the sea to the beach of an island in the Jade Sea. She was found by some fisherwomen who raised her like their own daughter. They named her Runhild -the one who defends her family with wisdom. Being five years old she played at the beach when a big zombie sea snake appeared. The village armed and were running to help her. But a light beam from the sky burned the snake and made it fleeing into the water. Knowing that she was chosen by a god the amazons knew only from legends the village decided to bring her to a temple for the best of all.

She was chosen as an adept but told she would be taught in all chambers of the temple, except one, the last and most important.

The wise of the temple told you that you are a chosen one of Philios. It would be impossible to remove the power he gave to you, which they called Redemption.

At creation we choose Philios as god and take Divine Devotion as level 2 skill.

Your trainer said you were to weak, even for a 5 year old. You should train lifting stones to make you stronger. A lesson you should work on for your whole life.

Flame a rain storm on Sunday. The big satellite dish was moving and we had no TV. And we did the movie on DVD. The biggest problem is that our third isn't doing English at school and so I have to translate her writings which are a mix of German normal text and French Sacred2 CA's and skills.

She said that playing weaponless will not before level 75 or so. So the start is to do normal mob with unmodded spells boosted by high intelligence from buff and normal blowpipe attacks. Bosses are with god power, slow missiles for stat reduction and spells and blowpipe.

Hellfire arena on easy finished at level 17. Lot of waiting between the godpowers filled with math homework. An exercise, one arena fight, one exercise, ...

Hellfire Arena

Godpower

This build has only one good defense against spells, its god power. Start it before talking with the enemy to start the fight. We want CA-block right from begin of the fight to avoid a deadly first salvo from 5 bosses.

The range of the godpower isn't covering much of the arena at early levels.

 

Make a +CA-Range slot

If you have a weapon or shield which boosts CA-range put it in first weapon-slot. Do slow missiles in a single ca-combo in first ca-slot.

Edit optionsCustom.txt. It's not cheating, it is just making typing easier.

 

Socketing

If you have rings/amulets with Divine Devotion, socket them into the ca-range items. CA-range slot will nearly allways be used together with the Godpower and vice versa.

 

Combat

Press 1 to activate first weapon slot and first ca-slot. (ca-range and slow missiles) but don't cast yet

Move to the enemy and stand at a place so that the godpower will affect most of the arena.

Drink Potions, without alchemy they will last as long as the godpower: Yellow, Green, Pink(if undead enemies), Blue... Fast reg, help againt Dot, more experience...

Activate Godpower

Talk to the enemy to start combat

Do Slow Missiles

Press 2 to swap to a blowpipe with Reg Per Hit in weapon slot 2 and Poison Javelin in ca-slot 2.

Keep left and right mouse buttons pressed till all is hopefully dead.

If wanted: every 6 seconds you can do a new Slow Missile, just press 1, and go back to 2
