Cheat Codes:
————
Submitted by: NightRazor
Hint:
—–
If you are low on hit points and need healing and dont want to waste
cure spells,if you have joril’s axe, you can equip it again and again
to heal yourself and anyone who is able to use it.
Here’s another one:
——————-
You can use this anytime but i did it after i finished the game. Keep
your old party and export them into the seperate import folders. Then
create a new party and import them in one at a time and transfer their
items to your new guys. you can do this over and over and that way you
can copy any item that you want and which then you can sell for a lot
of money too!
More Hints:
———–
* When monsters choose one of your characters as a target, they stick
to that target. Have that character run through a door and close it
behind him/her, leaving the rest of your party with the beast which
they can then attack without reprisal until it’s dead. This works
wonders on boss monsters that would normally slaughter your party.
Make sure your party or hero left behind has a weapon of sufficient
str to hit, i.e. +2 or better.
* Play on the weaknesses of the game engine. Move incrementally,
revealing monsters one or two at a time and dispatching them before
moving on.
* Take advantage of choke points such as doorways or narrow corridors
especially when facing hordes of powerful enemies.
* Unlike in Baldur’s Gate, you’ll want more tough fighters than magic
wielders here. You need to be able to absorb lots of damage, otherwise
you’ll be heading to the healer every hour or so.

Duplicate items:
—————-
Export one of your characters with the item(s) you want to duplicate in his or her
inventory. Put the items into another character’s inventory, then arbitrate the
character that you exported. Delete him or her, then import them again. The character
should have all the experience and have the duplicated item(s). This is a good way
to earn money and create multiple copies of rare and expensive items.
Easy experience:
—————-
When inside Kresselack’s Tomb, past the first big door, will be a Skeletal Mage
named Mytos. If you are polite with him, and opt for a nonviolent solution, you
will get extra experience points before the fight.
To level up a character easily, have only one character. Go through the first quests
at the starting town. Then, save the character as an import. Start a new game and
load the import. Do the same quests as if you were using a new character. It does more
difficult to level up, but it is possible to get your character to level 22 before
going to the next town.
Easy and early gold:
——————–
When in Easthaven, do the quest involving Jhonyn and the blue-skinned woman and earn
a pearl. Return to talk to her (immediately before she disappears) . If you are quick,
you can talk to her again while she is disappearing and she will go through the same
dialogue — and you will get another pearl. If you are quick enough, you can get
three pearls, each worth 100 gold pieces.
Rhino Beetle shield:
——————–
After you get the rhino beetle hide you can take it to Dirty Llew and he will change
it into a shield in 10 days for 10,000 g0ld. This resulting shield isn’t that great,
but you can then take it to Nym and he will enchant it for 28,000 more gold and now
you have a really nice shield. After that , you can kill them both(they are both evil),
and you get all your money back!
Random powerful item:
———————
Some areas have a random powerful inside them somewhere. if you save before getting
the item, there is a chance it will be different next time. so, reload again and again,
untill you get the one you want!
