Not at all - when you've sailed out of Khorinis' harbour you can't return.
So you'd better pray at once to earn STR. On Irdorath you'll encounter an Orcish general equipped with a ring that will give you -20 STR when put on. Because of this you should easily be able to learn some more STR (and then put the ring off again, of course, to get your 20 STR back  )

Okay good idea. So I should pray for the the +1 STR now to hit 100 max. Then after receiving this Orcish General's ring I would wear it to decrease my STR to 80, I should then ask Torlof to increase my STR back to 100, take the ring off and use my 20 dragon root potions (Elixirs of Strength) to finish up my Strength maxing?

Exactly! That's it!
Thus you should become really dangerous... 
You've learned how to brew strength-potions? Then don't forget to search dead elite orcs for further dragon roots, even when you've already travelled to Irdorath - aboard the paladin's ship you'll find an alchemy laboratory on the main deck to astern (is that the right word?) - well, anyway, in the back of the main deck

So what are you going to do with all that strength? There's hardly any lightly
clad wimen around to impress, and in chapter 6 there's not much else to do that you couldn't already do ok with the 90 strength you came with.
The conclusion here is really that it's not worth raising your attributes to the extremes this way. Personally, when doing melee as the primary skill, I train up to 90 as this isn't hard doing in chapter 1, and after that start making use of all the boosters I can find. I still end up having close to 200
strength in the end either way.

Whats the point? One hit kills of course.
I am on this ship with 106 STR, plus the +15 STR Amulet which makes me 126 STR right now. I have 20 Elixir of Potions for 5 STR each, which will give me a total of 226 STR me thinks. Well so far. I have yet to decrease my STR with the Orcish General's Ring and ask Torlof to upgrade my STR.
So I think I will end the game with 240+ STR.
Makes me happy.

There is nothing left to kill once you get to the island (well, few skeletons and about 10 orcs). THe question is still valid. What's the point? To end up with 110 str in chapter 1, now that's useful. To come to the island with 110str and turn that into 240 str, is, IMHO, quite useless.

If you are going to copy and paste from Ellusion's Gothic 2 Guide (http://www.ellusion.no/ellusion/), you should at least acknowledge your source and give them their due credit. It was amusing to see that you didn't even bother to correct Ellusion's typos. |
