where do I find the T'rang samurai |
|
The hint book reckons that before tackling the Northern Wilderness, I should go back & collect a T'rang samurai.
I'm happy enough with the Savnt Trooper whom they tell me to dismiis, but I am wondering if I should have gone with a Smaurai, rather than a Ninja, in my party, so would like to try one out, in case I play through again.
However, I can't seem to find this T'Rang Samurai of whom they speak! Where is he? |

The Mine Tunnels area. That's the same area where you found the trooper. _________________ Freeeeeeedom! Thank heavens it's summer!

Thanks for teh very quick reply!
I have been looking there - I think. Are we talking above ground, outside, where I found the trooper? I have been below ground, with the rest of the T'Rang, examining each one individually, to see if they are a Samurai. |

That's the wrong area. Now, where you found the trooper off to the side there is a slope leading up. Follow that. You'll come to a place where you'll find a hidden door. When you open it there is a T'Rang inside a little control-type room. That's the T'Rang your looking for. Although personally, I'd stick with the trooper if you don't already have a monk. _________________ Freeeeeeedom! Thank heavens it's summer!

ok, now I understand, thanks.
I am tempted to try the Samurai, as I haven't played one before & wonder if I should use one instead of a Ninja, enxt time around.
The thing is, I already have 3 short range warriors - Fighter, Ninja & Lord, so if I the Sanmurai, I'd have to place the lord on the flanks & have him use more magic, which would be a pity as he has very good sword skills by now.
Otoh, I have the Savant Monk on the flanks, using a fire spear or similar at distance and only getting to fight properly at very close range. Otoh, it's nice to have some of his abilities, like fighting when blind. |

You can get as many chars as you want to be in close range by putting nobody in the front, just use the middle and flanks; then the game ignores the front. Anyone you want to protect can then go into the rear slot. |

Wow! Incredible trick. How could I have missed that??? Thans a 1,000,000
As it happens, I have gone all the way back & found the T'rang Samurai & now I have decided not to use him. I'll stick with Vi & the android monk. |

My favorite! It means that everyone but my protected bishop gets a shot in every battle. None of my girls can sit around buffing their nails during battle any more, using the excuse that "Orphea's in my way.."
I wish I'd thought of this my first time through, but now I use it every time. When I'm only playing 4 characters, I put 3 in the middle and my bishop in the back.
My other favorite trick is initiating combat when it will give me the drop on somebody. I had a mental block about it my first game, but it can really work to your advantage. |

Yah, somewhere around my 10th start, i reassigned the space bar to be my combat button, so i could find it faster. You can even initiate combat around a corner, out of sight, then walk, and target once you can see the mobs. |

Isn't it great? Plus you always get a one-round advantage to cast your buffing spells.
I can't believe how many times I stood around waiting for them to come to me or even worse, moved closer till combat initiated automatically. |

Oh Yeah, all my Chicas love a chance to get Guardian Angel going right away; my Bard usually gets first move in the next round, to play Haste. |
