Previous Part : Here

Last time I had just opened the catacombs and received the teleporter stone from Lanilor. However, it’s not very useful unless you have the second stone. To get it, you either need to teleport to it using the first stone, or fight your way through the catacombs to get to where it is. It’s also guarded by various undead angry types, so you need to get it and get out if you are going via the teleport route.

So, I dropped and used the teleporter stone. I was taken to the other teleporter stone, and kicked and beaten by skeletons until I managed to pick it up and use it to get back outside. Now that I have my teleporter stones, I can go back to the base and set up my plan. In my house, there is a bed and all the storage I need (in my chests). That way, if I get injured, or need to store some stuff for later selling, I can do so. I’ll use this house for storage for most of the game. Here be it.

So, I took out my Worn Knife and entered the catacombs to start my quest for better stuff! And I found this. Great.

I started the quest to find Slasher, by talking to Smiruk. Basically, throughout the catacombs there are lots of axes. Well about 5. One of these is Slasher. These axes are pretty good though, so you can sell them for some good money, which I’ll be doing at some point.

Anyway, much fighting, running and teleporting later, I reached the third level of the catacombs. By this point I realised that either hard mode is much harder than normal, or my character is a bit useless. I’ve had to retreat from most enemies, and ended up learning meteorstrike and freeze, since I’ve yet to find a bow that isn’t broken. I might even actually buy one from George or something.

After getting past the Skeletal Guardian and the Skeletal Conjourer by running away and spamming meteorstrike, I started to find some decent armour. Still not found Slasher yet, since that is down on one of the lower levels. I do have a few axes stashed at the base that I can sell though.

In the room with the 4 tombs you have to open, I barely managed to kill the Skeletal Conjourer. I actually ended up killing it by throwing stuff at it. You can throw any object around in DivDiv, and if it hits an enemy, will do damage. I used all the boxes from my house to kill a Skeletal Lord, while hiding behind stuff.

I also actually found a decent weapon, a composite longbow, which I have used here to kill some skeleton types.

So after killing Thelyron and curing Mardaneus, I went to George’s to find he was murdered. Bah, I was going to sell him stuff as well. I went and spoke to Goemoe and learned restoration for healing his patient. Probably should have done that before I went into the catacombs.

I then moved on to the house in the northeast where my epic quest will continue next time.

Divine Divinity is an RPG that was released for PC back in 2002. It’s one of my favourite RPGs, and you can do some fun stuff in it, so I have decided to play through it and post some of my progress and the things I get up to here. I’ve played through it a few times already, so this will be more of a playthrough where I mess around and experiment with things.

Character Choice and First Moves

I chose the Survivor class, mainly because I’ve already played through as a Warrior and I can’t be bothered just using magic as a Mage. I put it on hard mode, and chose the incredibly fantasy RPG like name of Chris.

In the room you wake up in, there’s some shoes and a knife, both of random quality. After taking them, I went over to the chest, and found some handy gold. One of the nice features of DivDiv is the ability to pick up virtually anything. So, taking advantage of this for a future plan, I took the chest as well.

I then went upstairs and had a chat with Joram, who I was nice to as always. Then I took all of the things in his house, including books and manuscripts. He did say I could take what I wanted! I also picked up another chest, which should come in handy. Here’s my stuff at this point.

After leaving Joram’s house, I headed north to my new base. It was filled with packages, which I removed. I then went inside and dumped my chests, filling one of them with the books that I picked up earlier. I’ll store everything miscellaneous in here. The other chest will be used for weapons and everything else ( until I get some more chests ).

I then did the healing gem puzzle for some quick exp, and +1′d my lockpick skill. I’ll be working on this skill until its maxed for a plan I have later on. I then unfroze Lanilor, and turned all the dragon statues to the north to open the entrance to the catacombs. I then got the most useful item ever, the teleporter stone. I’ll be using that a lot in the future.

Well, thats then end of this part. Some fun with the teleporter next time.
