Heh, finally i have succeeded the carpenters quest, and i have also checked that little girls quest, but it's probably too hard for me so i'll do it in the future sometime. But im proud of my lvl 11 elementalist with a DV/PV status of 28/10 (thanks to a Mithril Large Shield), that's the best i've reached... anyway where should i go now? How do i open the strange pyramid in the center of the map? Do i need to advance more in the Bridge building technique in order to open it? How do i kill Hotzenplotz the Crime Lord (or whatever his name is)? And what is that "key to tha whole mess" that i can buy for 700gc from the guy in the bandit camp?... i would appriciate if you have some suggestions what i should do. =)

So you have completed the carpenter quest? Congratulations. Btw, did you know that you can complete the carpenter quest in two ways? Anyways, after the mystery of the carpenter is revealed, you might try to head over to the rumoured caverns northwest of the pyramid. In those caves you will find lots of interesting things. Be warned though: Those caverns are no place for the careless. Watch your step.

In order to get into the pyramid, try to level up a bit. Be causious though: If you are too experienced, you will be denied entry.

You might need bridge building at a later stage in the game, unless you find a substitute...

If you want to kill the crime lord, be sure to be tough enough for close encounters, his poison and multiple attacks can be nasty for many, or blast him from afar. It's yer choice. :)

That "key to tha whole mess" is just a random normal key. If you are rich, it might be a good choice to buy one or two keys from him. Locked doors can be bad for your health ya know...

Good luck!

In order to enter the pyramid you must see during the game the message "You feel some ancient magic" or something like this. You will find then in the location a scroll that invites you to go in the pyramid. From that moment your PC is allowed to enter the pyramid. But be cautios it's a dangerous place. However if your level is greater than 18(?? I'm not 100% sure) you cannot enter this place.

Level 17, IIRC.

And, IMO the best tactic for dealing with the crime lord is a blessed wand or a bolt spell with +7 or better efficiency. Lightning works especially well because it bounces, and if you have calculated your range well and it's long enough, you should be able to hit Hotzy twice with one bolt (while still staying far enough away to kill him before he gets to you).

Thanks for the suggestions! But unfortunately it doesn't mather anymore, my Elementalist was killed in a cave s-w of terinyo, a "non descript tunnel" or something like that. I went to the dungeon n-w of the pyramid but i only came to a fighting pit, didn't find the stairs down. Anyway i left the place and went to the other cave at the bottom of the map and was killed by an golem... But now i know where i should't go ;)

lol, yea the tunnel is not a place to go until you are real buff. and the dungeon nw of the pyramid, that fighting pit was the arena, there *is* a stairs down. you usually just have to search a few walls to find it...

A suggestion for the "non descript tunnel": try to fight the steel golem with lightning ball (lightning bolt doesn't work (the steel golem shrug off the lightning bolt)). However with my last char (still alive :) ) I've killed all of them in melee combat and I'm a wizard. No spell at all but I've high stat and a DV of about 70 in berserker :))

Another tip about the steel golems: if you're fighting them in melee combat, try to use a weapon of penetration, because their PV is rather high.
