Thane's "NO-Casualties"-Route.
Disclaimer: The neutral/good ending and the Thane Route are basicly the same. Romanticly Speaking. When making peace between both Tribes, Thane becomes Eyvind Loveinterest. However this feel wrong for me, because it is possible to make peace between both Tribes and compltetly ignoring Thane's Presence and Advice. For me "Thane-Route" means that Eyvind ,the Hero, follows Thanes Advice all the time including preventing the Death of the Lizard Prisoners.
Today we will start Thane's "No-Casualties" Route. Our goal is to listen to Thane's Advice and save everyone.
Posititiv: Everyone survives, including the Lizard Spy
Negativ: NO Nauxus Romance -> NO third Emblem.
The Plan:
Act1: Meet Nauxus in the Swamp BEFORE meeting Axel. Save the Lizard Spy. Suspicion-Score: Nauxus 0 ; Axel 2
Act2: Help Thane. After you got the Fear Potion, take the Quest from Selye! (not Axel). Suspicion-Score : Nauxus 2 ; Axel 3
Act3: Help Thane again and follow his plan in order to trick both Tribe-Leaders. Suspicion-Score: Nauxus 4 ; Axel 5
Act4: Give the Fruits to the Bull Tribe. (You MUST give the Fruits to the Bull-tribe to prevent the execution of the three Lizard Prisoners). Suspicion Final Score: Nauxus 4 ; Axel 3
If you don't care about the Lizard Prisoners and Axels Relatioship with his Son, you can also give th Fruits to the Lizards. However doing so will destroy the entire purpose of this Route.
The MATH of the official guide clearly states that it is impossible to romance Thane and Nauxus at the same time without at least one Fatality. [If you disagree, then write down and post a better Plan with each decision in detail based on the official Guide by Redyoshi. Thanks]
Another Project: I have started with slightly changed Stats at the Beginning. The goal is to pass a bunch of important Stats-Checks during the game:
- Eyvind need eight (8) Points of Strengh to beat the drunk Hakan and Tomahawk in a Strength Contest.
- Eyvind needs six (6) points of Intelligence to talk to Snow about Chet's arrival.
- opptional: Eyvind need seven (7) Points or Intelligence, Strenght and Agility to work in the Underground City.
- to catch the Snow Rabbit for a healthy stew, Eyvind needs a carrot, and seven (7) Intelligence. Or nine (9) Agility.
- Eyvind need eight (8) points of Intelligence to impress Rasmus, while reading the book.
- Eyvind requires ten (10) points of Agility to impress Joergen and swim against the Water in the Dungeon after he let Rasmus walk first.
- Eyvind requires nine (9) Strength to find the bizarre ancient Ring.
The talisman from the Lizard Merchant is very helpfull to pass the Agility Checks. The Sun talisman from the Bul- Village Merchant boost Strength by one (1) point.
My starting Stats are just enough to beat the first Boss with Save-Scumming. It took around 10 Minutes.
After we beat the Skull-Face Boss, we increase our Intelligence Stat. Try to rise Intelligence to six (6), while beating up Monsters and collecting ingredients to upgrade your Swords. My Stats at the Beginning of the game Level 3:
Stats in the Endgame at Rasmus Trial:
This risky Hero Build was able to nearly pass all stats Check in the game and still win against the Slime Boss. You need the talisman from both Villages to increase either your Agility or Strengh Stat when needed. This was done without resetting the Hero's Stats.
