The best weapon in a game for the barbarian

[Старый стрелок]

How good is the rhino club? Is it possible to comfortably go through the whole game with it and will it be much inferior to higher-level weapons? Is there a lot of potential? I want to complete the game only with blunt weapons, at east reaching the minimum required level and not changing it for anything, are there any chances to do it with pleasure?

Rhino Club is "must have" weapon. But final boss has 98% resistance to crush damage so you will need to switch to a sword. It is possible to finish the game with only blunt weapons but some enemies with high resistance to such damage may break the pleasure.

Thanks! I will have to suffer with this boss, but I will still go through the whole game with the rhino, trying to get him on the first levels.

The Rhino club is good, especially when you get hordes of skels. Best all-round is the Longsword. Good combo. The Flat and Slaying swords are bit crap as the combos are tricky. I keep the Longsword until I get the Shark Sword.

But what about the idea of getting a rhino as quickly as possible and passing the game only to them, without using any other weapons, except, perhaps, killing the final boss, who receives almost no damage from blunt weapons? Is it possible to get a rhinoceros at level 1 if you know some tricks of the game?

What "tricks of the game" do you mean? You can start the game with this weapon (editing pj.py file) but the character needs level 7 to get enought energy to use it. You can edit CharData.py file to get more energy at level 1.

No, is it possible to get to the rhino cache as quickly as possible and pick it up, either avoiding battles or getting into them as little as possible, for example, as in Gothic 2, you can get the claw of Beliar using a passage through the wall from a spell. The only condition is that it can be done without cheats or edits to game files.

Yes, it's possible. But in this case you have to skip half (!) of the game. The short route to Rhino Club is Kashgar -> Tell Halaf -> Kelbegen -> Ephyra -> Karum -> Oasis -> Al Farum

So, all the tasks will be completed and it will not be possible to complete the game completely, or you need to go through half of the game with other weapons? Very sad.

I know this is a pretty old post but do you know how I could start the game (and keep it throughout a playthrough) with the Knight's Full/Heavy armor?

Launch the game with console as it's shown here: https://youtu.be/q6OG0Yq9sO4
Start the game with Sargon. After he is appeared in the jail type in the console following line:
char.SetMesh("Knight_F")
press Enter
close the console and enjoy.
