I don't know how to make videos... but most of the neutral creatures are slow (except for the Gloom Wolves - the green ones before the entrance to the snake cave). You can trick them and go around them if you have even a little room to maneuver... at least a small area on the map.
Here, you can download a program (for free) that captures what's on your screen: http://soft.softodrom.ru/ap/p5568.shtml. It's very easy to learn. Please, I'm begging you :smile41:, help me, show me. I've tried many times to go around them, and I haven't succeeded even once: :smile05:

Guys, let's not nitpick over minor details.
1. The brother-king's quest is a side quest; it's not necessary to complete it for the locket. Just deliver the seal and return to the king. As soon as I got the locket, I immediately went to get Slim. And once he has his "Awesome Flaw," I can do Zeroc's test. It's possible to do it without the flaw, but I haven't tried, because I'm not into masochism. And for me, this wasn't the beginning of the Walkthrough, but rather closer to the middle.
2. Regarding the Castle in the Vampire Lands. I already wrote that the Walkthrough isn't perfect. I was just afraid and didn't want to try. I was short on money throughout the game; I only got rich with the undead, so I thought – I won't have enough money to buy an army.
3. You haven't completed the brother-king's quest yet, and you haven't been to Arlania and the Swamps (the frog quest). Please read my Walkthrough carefully. I didn't explain everything in detail, but "I go to my brother-king (i.e., the royal quest for the seal), and on the way, I visit the Count, take on the quest for the frogs, and get griffins." Immediately after that, I return to the king, take the next quest to deliver the locket, rush to the Vampire Lands, get the locket, buy spiders in the nearest Castle (I think – I'm writing from memory), rush to the king, and don't give him the locket. I feed Slim, and one spirit is ready. I think that's how it was, but I don't remember about the leadership; maybe I had to turn it in first, then run back to the Vampire Lands for the spiders. And then I rush to the Greenworth Coast... Sorry for the omission in the description.
4. Regarding avoiding monsters... Kyle, I won't make a video, but just try changing direction sharply. I don't abuse this; I killed those evil eyes in front of the cave. But inside, there are way too many snakes for my tiny army. Fortunately, they're quiet. The only problem is the snake in the passage. It can actually move away from it; you can lure it into the cave and run past. In general, I only found out before the tournament that you can avoid monsters like this, and I learned a little bit during the process. If it doesn't work, I'll come home in the evening and make a video.
P.S. I don't mind explaining all the possible points, but there might be mistakes in my description – because I wrote it from memory, looking at the saves I made, and I only saved before battles.

И если в нашем доме вдруг завоняло серой, мы просто не имеем права пускаться в рассуждения о молекулярных флюктуациях -- мы обязаны предположить, что где-то рядом объявился черт с рогами, и принять соответствующие меры, вплоть до организации производства святой воды в промышленных масштабах.
Kyle, tell me, which specific monsters would you like to outsmart (deceive and outrun)?
Ksandr-san, perhaps I was mistaken about Zerok... I played it two or three weeks ago, and I don't have the game on hand (I'm at work)... I was speaking from memory... I probably made a mistake because I set myself the goal of combining two quests - the brother's and the frog's - so that the hero wouldn't have to go back and forth between the two locations for no reason... and I tried to do it all at the same time... Could you upload a couple of save files - one right after activating both spirits, and the second after the marriage?
P.S. - The brother-king's quest is a royal quest (not a side quest) - without completing it, you won't get the quest for the box... I was wrong... I was running around collecting lilies and other things, and I went to turn in the quest with the brother too late.

I'll come back in the evening and post it. If I figure out where and what to post) Well, you know, it won't be right after the activation/marriage, but before the first battle after that) I can post a save before Zerok's test) And regarding you messing up with Zerok... It's more likely an error (just based on the playstyle) - it's about activating the chest too late. Slim is strong, Zerok is kind of useless at the beginning... But his walls have saved us more than once.

For example, the snakes (in the cave) in Arlania, because I really wanted to break through them to reach the witch's house. I would be very grateful. :)

Saves after obtaining Zerok and Slim, and after marrying Faeanor. Damn, wolf64 somehow knew exactly which ones I had)))
2 Kyle I've sent you the snake bypass via email, sorry for the large size, I've never worked with clips before.

I'm having trouble uploading files to the portal today (including .zip archives)...:confused: Here's an alternative – http://files.mail.ru/LHA7V8 It contains two videos: one with snakes (two merged versions) and one with a cyclops. I reduced the recording quality by 100 times... otherwise, the file would be too large. Now, the video (.avi) is about 3 and 5 MB...
The site has been acting strangely lately... I wanted to ask Ksandr-san about it a week ago.
I still haven't seen the save with Slim activated (and there was one where Zerok was level 1 and Slim was level 5). If you calculate the experience gained from completed quests and the most necessary battles for plugens, it turns out that by the time the hero received the chest and activated Slim, he was level 3... So, for half a level (about 450 experience), you managed to give Slim more than 300 experience (it seems like 336)... almost 80% of the battles - that's a very high rate - you can't defeat all the neutrals with just spirits. Usually, this rate is 10-20%. (My Slim was level 5 when the hero gained about 2000 experience from battles, plus Zerok was level 3-4).
In terms of time, it also turned out very quickly - to clear the neutrals on the map by the time the hero was level 3 and a half... I wonder when you left the training hall and arrived at the King?
P.S. - I don't doubt that it's possible to complete it faster than I did... but you did it very quickly.
2 Kyle I sent you the snake bypass via email, sorry for the large size, I've never worked with video clips before.
I received the video, watched it, the quality isn't the best, but what I could see shows how to bypass two snakes and accurately hit the mouth of the third one. :( wolf64
There are two videos - with snakes (two merged versions) and with a cyclops. I reduced the recording quality by 100 times... otherwise, the file would be too large... now, the video (avi) is about 3 and 5 MB...
I downloaded it, but couldn't open it, it says there are no codecs. :confused: Can you tell me where I can find them?

Wolf, sorry, I just misunderstood you; I thought you needed a save file where both spirits are present. If you really want it, I can look for one with Slim, but honestly, I don't feel like it anymore. Yes, I actively use the spirit box; it's my thing. I haven't kept track of how much I've upgraded and in what time. Sorry for being harsh, but I'm tired of the attacks, and I'm also sick. P.S. A small hint for upgrading spirits: use them at the very beginning of the battle, while the enemy is still intact; then they get more experience.
2Kyle - if you set the speed to the minimum, I think it will be clear that you run past the third snake right under its nose and run a little further into the cave until it falls behind. I just tried to make the size as small as possible and cut off the end right after running past the 3rd snake. In general, try it, and I think you'll succeed on the 5th try).

Ksandr... that's it, let's move on... I wasn't trying to undermine you... and if a week ago I was still interested in seeing what and how you did... now I don't have that desire anymore. As I said above, it's very realistic to complete it faster than I did... it's my own fault. So, your first place is well-deserved and natural. Congratulations!
