Please, help me complete my "Achievements"! "Monster Hunter" & "Fully Equipped" missing...

[Piftuka]

Greetings Adventurers!

I have completed this game with my dwarf character. Eliminated the 3 main enemies, and managed to get almost all Achievements, but there is just 2 missing, with which I'm stuck:

1. "Monster Hunter"
2. "Fully Equipped"

- For the 1. I would need to kill the Gargoyle and the Hydra.

But whenever I meet the Gargoyle, and its "Fight" card appears, the message says, that as I cannot harm it, I ran away.

I guess due the reason I do not eliminate it, the Creature doesn't appear in my codex. But how to destroy the Gargoyle?

Hydra... I had already completed the Black Tower, and I suppose I killed the Hydra already (I don't remember I used an item to avoid). But it didn't appear in my codex.

But as Black Tower is complete, and I no longer have the item to kill Ganjees, I cannot pass it to go to Hydra's room again.

Do you know how to pass Ganjees?


- For the 2. I have the steel helmet and the steel armor....

What is missing, and where to get that armor to have the "best equipment" in game?


Thank you a lot for your help in advance!

Regards,
Piftuka

There are two items which can get you past the ganjees.
The ointment (single use) which you can gain by defeating the dwarf, orc & goblin just inside the citadel.
The other is the amulet (multiple use item) which you can get from the scouts.
After you give the password (scimitar) at the door, go thru the next door and turn right, then follow the corridor until you meet them. Do not tell them you want to destroy Balthus!

If you have previously distracted the hydra with the golden fleece, you can still fight it next time around. Use creature copy spell twice. If your duplicate loses, you can finish the battle yourself more easily.

To defeat the gargoyle i think you need a potion which destroys stone-based creatures. This is found in the citadel kitchen where the witches are. Tell them it's an inspection and search the cupboards, then take the green liquid. The kitchen is just after the scouts.
Hope this helps.

The best armour achievement might refer to the unicorn shield (+3 defence die) on the ground floor of zanbar bone's tower. You must take this as soon as you enter, or i think the option disappears.

[Piftuka]

Thank you for this useful info!

- I'm checking that "Amulet" of the scouts then for this time. (For the first time I told them that I'm there to attack Balthus.)

Hopefully I'll be able to get to the Hydra again. Anyway you are right... for the first time I have used the "Golden fleece", so the fight was skipped.


- Good news, that in the meantime I went to the Gargoyle again, and the "Creature Copy" card worked!

They fought, and the copy lowered the stamina of the Gargoyle, then it attacked me, so finally I was able to beat it. Hence my creature codex was updated.


- But I also realized that I still miss the "Death Hawk" too. Do you know where to meet it?


- For the "Unicorn Shield"... thanks a lot! Bad news I missed. Though I do not how it could happen, as I'm the adventurer who opens, picks up, uses everything.

[Analand Sorceress]

I think the death hawk is also in zanbar bone's tower. Go to the very top floor to fight it (it is not a tough opponent) before goin back down to defeat zanbar.
If you have already visited zanbar's tower, you may not be able to return, meaning you won't be able to complete the creature codex without starting a whole new game!
This happened to me the first time i played "Legends".
Hope it works for you.

[Piftuka]

Thank you for this!

Ah, that is sooooo annoying. As the "Dark Tower" is unavailable after been cleared out, I was not able to complete the Creature Codex, nor I was able to get all the titles with the same character, so I had to restart with another one.

I managed to kill the Gargoyle, the Hydra... but it didn't make sense... :(

[Piftuka]

Finally, I was able to complete these titles, as I restarted the game, and completed for this time on a higher difficulty level.

Now just one in game title is missing: "The Cheese Thrower".

For the first time the Mouse escaped.

Please, tell me that it would appear again! If yes, then which place is the best to catch? (I have cheese in my inventory...)

[Analand Sorceress]

I think each time you go thru the mountain the "?" cards are re-shuffled, as they are in the other locations, so you should get another opportunity.
Alternatively, is there an option to throw the cheese at Zagor?

(Bizzarely there is actually an achievement for doing this in TinManGames' tabletop-style version of "Firetop Mountain". See my achievement showcase... )

[Piftuka]

Until now I have played the game through only twice. For the first time I had the mouse, but I don't remember if during the battle with Zagor the game offered the solution of "throwing the mouse on him".

But I see the guides here in the forum, and they say one of the opportunities to get the achievement is like that.

For now - as I mentioned -, after playing through on a hardver difficulty I don't have the mouse, but..

I have ran through the Firetop Mountain many many many times... And since the very first visit (when I missed to catch the mouse due bad luck) that freaking mouse didn't appear to me...

So I suppose I will have to re-start the game again (now on the hardest difficulty), and have all the titles during that run.
