Posts from Тактика в Dark Messiah

Some archer-mage :) Quite effective in DLE:smile25:

I played as the Warrior – I really enjoyed having a lot of enemies around and dealing the optimal number of blows to each of them, while also dodging their attacks – it’s great action. Now I want to play as the Assassin.

My tactic is assassin + archer = total destruction. A simple warrior or mage doesn't impress me.

I love magic in all games, and I always level up my characters focusing on it! That's why I used that tactic there as well.

I maxed out my stealth skills, just like Shaddar. Because I simply enjoyed watching him jump on enemies' necks and slit their throats. Plus, it's easier to find daggers in the game than swords.

The very first time, I chose the Warrior class. In my opinion, it's easiest to beat the Dark Messiah with a Warrior. But I wouldn't say it's *much* easier. Sometimes there are difficulties with the Orcs, but they can be defeated with various map tactics.

The second time, I played as a Mage. And you know what? I really, really liked the Mage class :) Not only is it just cool, but it's also fun! Oh, how I laughed when I froze a sharp turn (90 degrees) on a cliff. The Orcs run after me, slip, and fall off the cliff, hitting their heads hard on the boards they slipped on))) Or shrinking enemies down to the size of a cat! My younger brother (6 years old) was lucky enough to see me use that spell. There was so much laughter, both from me and from him!

I started playing as an Assassin a couple of times, but I never finished. Combining specializations doesn't always bring the desired result. It's better to level up a pure Warrior/Mage/Assassin; it's simpler and better. In general, for a complete picture of the game, it's best to play through it 3 times with all 3 specializations. Personally, I got the most enjoyment from the Mage hero.

The first time I played, I chose a warrior-rogue with healing skills. The difficulty was only with the bone dragon. Playing as a mage was harder at first, but then it became fun. It's a shame the batteries ran out quickly.

I remember the first time I leveled up skills; I mostly did it randomly. I just leveled up magic and stealth. It turned out to be quite amusing. I would sneak around and do my thing. If I was noticed, I would use magic. And it helped in various situations – like freezing an enemy with ice, etc.
The only thing I didn't like was having to finish off a downed enemy several times with daggers, as they don't deal much damage on their own. However, I didn't finish the game that way.
I completed it by leveling up almost a pure warrior. I maxed out all his combat skills, his archery, and a bit of magic (fire trap is invaluable in the spider episode). He turned out to be a big, strong guy with frequent bursts of adrenaline, who could shoot down unwanted enemies from a distance, chop up those who survived with a sword, and help himself with a couple of spells. And it was especially fun with the electric, indestructible shield!) It's a shame it only appears at the end of the game. Although, in principle, it's not a big deal, otherwise the gameplay would be boring.

Played once as an assassin mage. IMHO, the speed of the daggers allows you to fight not only in stealth mode but also in open combat – the opponent doesn't have time to strike.

But battles look more impressive with a warrior, so I played through it a second time as him.

I'm leveling up a regular Warrior with one spell – Healing.

Sometimes there are difficulties with Orcs, but they can be defeated with various map tricks.

I would kick the Orcs, and they would fall into the abyss.

The spiders were the most challenging; I completed all four endings, and then I replayed the game with a trainer, but I only activated the skill point boost, maxing out all skills, and it turned out to be very interesting; you should try it.

By the way, does anyone know how to throw daggers?

I'm playing a stealth-damage dealer type. I've invested in Creed, Adrenaline, Invisibility, Melee, and Archery, plus Endurance to allow me to lie in wait longer and escape further. Without magic, it's still fun. I play like in Menhunt or Hitman:smile28:, in short, it's enjoyable. Daggers + Adrenaline = -2 damage to Orcs on average in 1.5 seconds. I prefer to complete levels quickly and avoid being noticed, and I only upgrade Invisibility to level 2, otherwise it's not interesting – it's overpowered. Skillfully dealing with "enemies" is an art. And if you master it to a sufficient level, you can go through half the game without using any weapons at all, yes. No, I don't mean dealing with dragons and cyclops, they're too tough... they can really give you a beating:smile42:.
