Hi all, I'm a starter,
TQ is one hack of a game, and I'm enjoying every minute of it.
kinda complicated at times....

Anyways, I'm lvl12 Rasvim,
and not understanding how you can actually get into the room of Julius.

My persuade skill is not good enough to bribe the assistant,
I tried everything I could do deactivate the barrier using the lamp,
and tried every window to break into the house (at nights).

Nothing works... Can any of you give me some clue?
How do you exactly use the 'lamp' to gain acces?
or which window do I use?
Do I need certain skills?
My primary skills are heavy weap, armor, attack magic, undead magic, env magic, alchemy. Everything else is pretty low.




Also, another general question..
Often I find myself 'completely lost' during the game.
I try to talk to people, they say stupid stuff,
and I just go out to random fields and monsters are sometimes too strong.

For example, the sunken monastery dungeon is very tough.
Can you give me some tips, generally regarding the entire game?
Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks a lot!

I think this belongs in the Quest thread. There are answers to your question but I can't help you right now--visiting relatives.

If you tap the mirror inside Julius' house and you have the Archmage's book and then tap the CORRECT candle outside his house, you will set the forcefield hidden and set the girl gone.

If you've got the book and persuade over 30 you can work on the girl.
