WHEN "KALESTIES EYES" ASKS YOU WHO HELPED YOU IN THE
DROW TEMPLE TELL HER "SILK" IF THE CPU ASKS IF YOU WANNA
DO A SPECIFIC THING...DO IT! NEVER TURN DOWN SOMEONE WHO
NEEDS HELP BE PALADIN LIKE REMEMBER TO SAVE ALOT AND
CAST LOTS OF PREPATORY SPELLS
To Get to the land of Kalistes you must enter Zhentil Keep.
If you have high level characters I advise you to use the
Alter:Champion setting for some serious butt kicking.
In Zhentil Keep there is a magic shop that sells Elixers
of Youth, so feel free to caste those Haste spells until
your a 65 year old senior!!!
You will have to get into the Tower of Manshoon while there
as well as enter The Dungeon area where the Drow Elves
rule (Big Time).
To get to Manshoon you must first get by the 'Gaze Monster',
to do this, simply cast a mass invisibility spell or Power
Word Blind spell to eliminate the irritating creature.
You'll then have the opportunity to advance up another
level to meet Manshoon.
Like wise you can get to the portal in the Dungeon that
leads to the Land of Kalistes in a couple ways. Dont
hesitate to roam around, there is nothing that you can do
to mess up you eventually getting to the Drow Temple
(bottom level) and resue slave, fight Drows and destroy the
Hands that protect Kalistes control over the portals, only
one will remain (the one you'll be using).
In the final battle cast all your protection spells on the
party before you go into conbat. Things like haste, bless,
invisibility, prayer, fire touch, globe of invuln. etc.
Target DBF's very carefully. Only bane minions and spiders
will be affected and even then not always.
If you have a hex editor you can push your strength to 26
and really do some damage when you hit. Also push dex to
26 and constitution to 19. However, a constitution of 19
will only affect hit points before you start playing the
character. Therefore you could raise the hit points to 255,
but don't do this unless your character is already level 40.
Just use human characters as other races cannot max out apart
from thieves and you do not need a thief to complete the game
at all. Possibly in Dave's Place at the end but you can just
create one then dump him and restore whoever you dumped before
you made the thief. This method is also good for restoring
dead characters. If anyone dies, you don't have to resurrect
them. Simply save and ADD the old character. Oh, but you
have to dump him first, yes you do, but you kept a copy of
him in your misc drawer didn't you?
Possibly an elven mage/thief or dwarfen fighter/thief might
be good, I never used one.
Make sure you have 2 clerics. One will almost certainly be
killed at some point and you need resurrect. Raise dead is
useless as you lose constitution (And Hit Points) every time.
The best party is probably 3 fighter classes (But no actuall
fighters) maybe 2 Paladins and 1 Ranger or 1 paladin and
2 Rangers, 2 Clerics and a Mage. Therefore everyone can cast
spells. The ranger(s) can do double damage against giants
(you'll meet a few) or the paladin(s) can turn undead, and
can overall get more hit points than a ranger.
Paladin level 40 could get (with your hex edited constitution of 19) 229 hit points.
