Also greetings to Lori and Corey Cole and all other people behind Quest for Glory! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Tip 1 - In Quest for Glory 2: Trial by Fire the master from the ring, Djinni, can improve any of your skills by wishing for prowess and entering the skill name. You can also wish for a skill that you don't yet know. Tip 2 - Also in Quest for Glory 2, before ending up in jail in Raseir - where you will lose your precious dinars - use all your money on, for example, mana and vigor pills. This way you'll gain some magic or something else and won't lose anything (because all your money would have gone anyway). Note - Weapon Use is called Offense and Parry and Dodge have been merged into one skill, Defense. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- 2-1 Strength * General Do everything that trains your char (fighting, climbing..) QG1 New - Go to the screen where you can find the antwerp bouncing. Cast flame dart, throw dagger, whatever. Just make it disappear. Then unlock the rock door and use the hand icon on it until it opens. Now your strength should be something like 36. Then use the hand icon on the already opened door (not the 'black hole') and watch your strength climb up! QG3 1) In Simbani village, go to the training area. Click the hand icon on the pole and watch your strength climb up. 2) Go to the savanna/jungle, pick up hundreds of good throwing rocks and throw them anywhere on the screen. If your stamina gets low, drink some water from the Pool of Peace. This will replenish your stamina. QG4 Train strength in Adventurer's Guild in Mordavia with the training machine. Add weight whenever it is needed. * QG5 Go to the Guild Hall. There you can see a stepping machine. With it you can easily train strength. 2-2 Intelligence General Casting spells improves your intelligence. QG3 Play awari game with Yesufu in the Simbani village. If he says that he won't play anymore, because of the cattle, just keep clicking on the awari table and he will play again with you. 2-3 Agility General Climbing, fighting and balancing. QG2 When the dude that will pay you for crossing the rope comes to Fighters' Plaza, give him a dinar and climb up. Stay on the line and press left and right arrows. There is no need to use up/down keys. You won't probably be able to walk the rope if your agility skill is worse than 110. And this is how to get your skill to 200 at the rope plaza: First, pay the man a dinar and walk the rope almost to the end. Then start 'waving'. Press for example right arrow and then when your char starts waving press left. If you fall, just pay him again and 'wave' again. You should walk the rope to the end at least every fifth time (so that you won't lose any money.) QG3 In the Simbani village, you can train agility by climbing on the log and walking it to the other end. Do this 100-200 times and your agility is in 300. I noticed that when thieves walk on the log and their skill is about 200, a sort of panel will appear after climbing up the rope. Click on these icons and it is a lot easier to train agility. 2-4 Vitality General Fighting, climbing and just training other skills improves your vitality. QG3 Just use up a whole bunch of stamina/get beat up real bad in a fight, then sleep for a night. In the morning, your vitality will be up about 3 points. This might work in the other games too. 2-5 Luck General 1) There aren't any great single sources for luck. But one way to improve luck (and intelligence) is to play awari with Yesufu in Quest for Glory 3. Also fighting, picking locks and just practicing other skills improves luck. Also a good way to improve luck is to parry and dodge. This also improves a whole bunch of your skills. 2) Get into a fight, escape, get into a fight, escape... 2-6 Magic General Maybe by casting spells. Training this skill might be very boring. But every time before resting, remember to use all your mana for casting spells. 2-7 Communicate General Talk with people. QG2 Go to, for example, Dinarzad. Say 'tell about dinarzad'. You can also once in a while give her flowers if you wish. This will boost your communicate and honor up. QG3 1) Click the talk icon on a person. Put some weight on your Enter key and make sure that there will be some communication (cursor is on a list item) 2) In QFG3 in the Simbani village INSIDE the hut click the talk cursor on the hut wall near/on/around the zebra skin. This will SUPER boost your communicate skill with ease! QG4 Talking to others won't help. So why don't you talk to yourself? Click the talk icon on yourself and do the same trick. For example, choose 'Greet (someone)' and leave some weight on the enter key. 2-8 Weapon Use (Offense) General Fight. Note - Fighting increases a whole bunch of your skills. For example, agility, luck, vitality and strength. 2-9 Parry, Dodge (Defense) General While fighting, practice. This seems to be pretty easy in all Quest for Glory games. Just keep clicking on the Parry/Dodge icon/key and it will get better quite fast. 2-10 Stealth General Sneak and steal! So always sneak, whatever else you do. For example, when throwing rocks, your stealth will rise at an unbelievable rate. This trick works at least in the first few games. QG1-4 Type sneak or select sneak icon from the menu. * QG5 To sneak, press the 'k' key (default). Break into houses, like the house near the arena and Ferrari's house later in the game, and remember to sneak. 2-11 Pick Locks General Every time you bump into a door, try picking the lock. Also, try to click the lockpick on yourself or type "pick nose." This might kill you if your skill is less than 40. QG1 You can pick the houses' locks in the town at night, even when they are banned from inside. Don't be too greedy or you'll be arrested. Also pick your nose. QG3 Pick the lock on the chest in your inn room. QG4 1) You can increase lockpicking skill even during the day. Go to the burgomeister's office, click the lockpick set on the door and hold it there until all stamina is gone. Your skill should go up about 10 points even though the door never opens (unless the gypsy is in it). It takes a while to get the skill up, but if you get ten points a day you should get to 400 fairly fast. 2) Go to the Thieves' Guild (from the Adventurer's Guild). Click the hand icon on the safe and choose "crack safe". Do this many, many times. * QG5 Pick every door you run into, even if you have the key. You can also practice at the Thieves' Guild and even in your own inn room, picking the chest and doors. If you try to pick the lock at the top of the stairs outside the Dead Parrot, many of your skills will improve (except for lockpicking--cheat!) 2-12 Throwing General Leave town, go to forest/desert/jungle, pick up a few hundred rocks and throw 'em. This is probably the easiest skill to train to maximum. Of course, there are other ways to practice throwing. For example, in QG1 you can go to the archery range and throw your daggers at the board, in QG3 you can practice throwing in Simbani village (throw at the target) but these ways are really slow. * QG5 Buy throwing spears or get rocks (for example near the blacksmith's). Throw them, get them back, throw them. Boring. If you want, you can throw them at the board outside the west gate of Silmaria. 2-13 Climbing General Climb all trees, ladders, ropes and everything you can find on your quest for glory. QG1 Outside the Healer's house, climb the tree (this trains your skill only to 83). You can also practice climbing on the town walls at night. Just climb 'em up and down and your skill will get to about 90. Next, when you are on the brigand doors (after killing the two guards) climb up and down the rocks and this will improve your skill to 100. QG2 Buy the magic rope from Keapon Laffin and climb it. But beware, the rope will lose its magic after some time. You can also climb the cliff in the desert (griffin) to get your skill to 76. But if you have already 100 from Quest for Glory 1, forget it. QG4 Climb the forest trees (easy way), you can also climb the town gate at night plus the monastery wall. Using the rope and the grapnel on the hook in the Adventurers' Guild is a good way to improve climbing. This will boost your climbing skill up by about 2 every time. 2-14 Acrobatics (QG4 only) General Jump around. Click acrobatics icon on the special skills/statistics window. The easiest way is just keep the enter key down in the forest. 2-15 Honor General Do everything heroic. QG2 1) Go to the flower katta and bargain for flowers. After loading up on about a gross (144) of flowers at a time bring them to any female character (for example Uhura) in the game and start giving the flowers away. Just have to keep hitting the space bar and enter for a while and make several trips. Bargaining also improves your communication and intelligence at the same time. 2) Go to Julanar in the desert and hug tree many times. This boosts your honor up, but must be done before you have got the fruit of compassion. 3) After day 12 when you have solved the Julanar quest, go see Julanar in the desert and thank her (thank Julanar.) This will boost your honor up. 4) This trick requires some money. Just go outside the inn and type 'Give centime' near the beggar or the musician. You won't lose many dinars and this is an "honest" way.. QG3 There are 4 good ways to improve honor in QG3. 1) To to bazaar, go down and seek Kalb's meat store. Bargain the price to 1 and buy 300-400 meat pieces. After Harami has asked you to help him and meet him at night, go to the bazaar at night and give him all the meat. This will improve honor to 300. 2) The alternative way to improve your honor is to keep using your money pouch on Harami. He won't accept the cash. But anyway this will "pump" your honor up to 300. 3) In the bazaar, click your money pouch on the drummer's bowl. This is also honorable, but it will cost you 10 commons each time you click on it. 4) After completing the drum quest, go and talk to Laibon. Say Thank You many, many times and watch your honor slowly climb. QG4 1) First go to the castle entrance. Talk to the gatekeeper and ask him about his ex-wife. He will tell you something boring. Then go to the store in Mordavia. Talk to the shopkeeper about her husband. She will tell you something. Go talk to Boris (the gatekeeper). Tell him what his ex-wife told you. Run between these two places until they say nothing new to each other. Your honor will raise by about 10-20. 2) Pick up some flowers. Go to Rusalka. Give her these flowers you just picked up. Go away picking some more flowers. Give her another bouquet of flowers. She says they are nice but she won't take them. Keep clicking them on Rusalka and watch your honor climb. * QG5 1) Give money to the Salla, the katta musician. Also giving flowers and candy to any female character will boost honor. Offer drinks to people at the Dead Parrot. 2) Solve all sub-quests, like Sarra's basket, bank robbery, Ann's deed, Wizard drugging. 3) Solve all quests without violence, like sneaking into Atlantis without killing anyone, not killing the general in the Rite of Conquest 2-16 Stamina, Health, Mana General Sleep, eat pills/drink potions. QG3 Go to the Heart of the World Tree and climb. Enjoy the free refill there and climb down to go back to spell casting, throwing, etc. QG4 Ignore your stamina (except in battles) and focus on climbing, acrobatics, lock picking, etc. Even though stamina will go down to 0, you'll still live and find your health going down instead. To completely refill health, sleep on it. Preferably at Erana's staff or garden. * QG5 Go to the apothecary. Julanar will heal you if you are injured. Also, get loads of stamina, health and mana pills and assign shortcut keys for them. This way it is easy to use them in combat, for example. 2-17 Swimming (QG5 only) * General Do not assign this skill to your character at the character creation. You will learn it anyway from the Famous Adventurer. You can practice swimming by jumping into water near the fisherman or at the beach outside town. 2-18 Pickpocket (QG5 only) * General You can practice this skill at the Thieves' Guild pickpocketing the dummy or using real victims. Go take a walk to the town and pickpocket townspeople you see. Please Note! Some of the hints might not work if you have patched the game to a more recent version, for example in Quest for Glory 1, 4 and 5. Did I miss something? E-mail me with your hints.
