Still need to know where to level up. I have all the orbs now.

@Bluerose - Good to hear. I was just about to finish posting a strategy to defeat the Flame Dragon when you posted, haha. I've designed Path of Thanatos as a very linear experience. I didn't want there to be grinding, I wanted there to be an even challenge, and I wanted the player to be able to explore the world without having to re-fight loads of enemies, so I essentially worked out what level the player needed to be to defeat what enemy, and built it like that - there's no specific place to re-fight enemies and level up - once an enemy's dead, it's dead. Why do you need to know where to level up if you've got all the orbs? You should be fine right now. You'll get plenty of XP in the final area, and shouldn't have much trouble given the large number of health/magic-refilling save points =D

Thank you for you reply, I just got the last orb, saved game and quit for the night. I didn't go any further so I don't know yet what is coming............

Will go play now.

Maybe what d meant is the game is small in size it has 7 hours of gameplay where as others have at least 20
hours. Maybe its a good game yes but for some people they just sit down and play
and dont get up till they are done. Others usually have something else to do and have to keep coming back to it.
Would be a little bit better if you just ask the question what do you mean then wait for an answer or maybe just
pm him and ask him. It does look good and its one that you can only use the keyboard with
seems some people just want the easy way to play games. Lots of people like the keyboard and no mouse control
Looks good Oni think I will buy it myself and how do you tell what version it is, I mean where does it say that?

i,m stuck in the castle trying to get passed the guards with no success. does anyone know in which direction to go. left you can,t get passed the top guard as he does,t move. to go straight up i can,t get passed the guard going up and down my character won,t run fast enough. any ideas. thank,s in advance.

@blumyst - Thanks =D And don't worry, every copy of the game is version 1.01 now - no worries there (it will say it on the Installer too).

@lindy lou - Well, the easiest way to help is probably to give you a little walkthrough. So...

First, get to the left of the first statue (on your left). Go up around it, and hide in-front of the second statue. Now, watch the guard carefully and when he turns around, go right, up, and left around the statue and into the next room. For the next two guards, you've just got to time it right - watch their pattern and when they both turn around, go! The next guard is really easy, just go right and don't stand in his line of sight. The next one's also pretty easy - when his back is turned, just run past and over to the next room. Now, these guards will walk back and forth, meeting in the middle. You've got to move slowly and time it right to get past both of them and into the next room. Walk when they're walking. Final room - easy enough - just move past them when they look up/down, again taking it slowly. And that's it.

Hope that helps!

I'm stuck at the beginning +:oops:

I'm in the cave, fall down the hole, fight the bat, take the broken sword then go up stair. Go back and see the broken sword still there +:::|

How can I find the two sisters?

The answer can be found on the first page of this forum topic, but here it is again:

There's a hidden passage designated by a faint bit of light in the small area with the bat. If you can't find it, here's a picture: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/855/solutionb.png/

Hope that helps =)

Bluerose, to level up a bit, you can just keep teleporting using the A key to the forest. The monsters there respawn each time you teleport, so you can kill all the monsters and pick up all the flame cap mushrooms to sell at the item shop. Then, just teleport out of the forest and teleport back, and the monsters and flame cap mushrooms are there again!
I managed to level up enough to buy everyone Mithril weapons and armour.

Good luck!

Onilink - wanted to say that I've just finished the game and loved it! +::heart

An enjoyable game with a good storyline and good value for money too. If I am allowed one criticism it would be that I'd have liked the final battle to have been a bit more difficult (my characters were at about Level 25 when they faced the final battle).

Do you think there will be a sequel?

Kind regards.

@LauraNorda - Thank you very much +::biggrin

And it sounds like you found one pretty handy gltich! Your characters are technically only supposed to be about level 20/21 for the final battle, so that would've definitely affected the difficulty for you.

In regards to a sequel, well I won't be revisiting this world for a little while, but I definitely have ideas about things that I could explore in another PoT game. It'd probably be something along the lines of a sequel game where the characters are trying to settle into a normal life. I could use the interactions between the characters to tell stories of the past, fill in more detail on the character's backstories. Additional elements such any remnants of the link between the player character and Thanatos could also be explored in the context of a post-war world. ...Something like that =P

Thanks again!

HI tried using the A Key to teleport to the forest from the castle area but it does not work. can you help me to level up? thanks

by **OniLink** » Wed Oct 26, 2011 8:27 am

@briony - From what I can tell, the glitch depends on which forest you've got - whether it's the poison Forest or the healthy Forest. So for some people, the glitch won't work. But really, the game is designed so that you don't need to do any extra levelling up or grinding. It's a bit difficult at times (very intentionally so), but you can definitely do it with what you've got.
