Sorcery! 4 Walkthrough

For more experienced players you will notice I glossed over many treasures along the path and ran the play through 1 uneeded fight.

I did this for the sake of a direct guide, I hope those who use this guide will continue to go back and explore like I have and am doing even now.

So with that, have fun exploring and don't play with death wraiths, they hold grudges. ;P

Ahh i just went and bet on the fights in the barracks, once done then just jumped out the prison and went around too the market.

i have just enough to buy the spear and amber grind from the goat people, should i do it?

[andrepurchases]

Necromancer thanks so much for your walkthrough here this is super helpful :) ... I was wondering if you knew anything about beating the game without the Throben Curse being in effect ... WARNING, SPOILERS FOLLOW FOR ANYONE READING THIS WHO HASN'T PLAYED SORCERY 4 YET ! ... I unscrewed the hourglass in the Tower of Time and dumped out the sand hoping to get the ending for the game that does NOT involve being cursed by Throben (successfully beat the game before but the ending mentioned that the curse of throben will follow my character and so forth) ... but every time I try without it to beat the game I die, either a birdman slashes my throat open when I get to the last part of the game (fortress part where the archmage can be found) or the archmage turns into goat-mage and kills me :P ... I heard a rurmor that you can't "win" the game without the curse UNLESS you got through all of Sorcery 3 without using any of the beacon towers...was wondering if you knew anything about this? :) Also Pynmcduikerman99, I know you posted your question back in May so not sure if this helps any since I'm posting now in June :P but if you're reading this... the amber grind counts as stone dust (it's orange ground amber but far as game is concerned still stone dust) so definitely helps for that ROK spell Necromancter mentioned when you get to the torture chamber ... the hardwood spear, if you're nice to all the goat people there the leader of the goat people will simply give you the spear as a gift (the game will make it seem like she's attacking you with the spear :P , don't draw your sword and you'll be fine ;) )

Hey, I know this discussion's old and you might not be here anymore, but I was wondering if I could copy and paste it into an official guide. They are much more easily accessible than the discussions. I would mainly just want it for reference and of course would give you full credit.

Sure go right ahead, if it helps others then that's fine by me.

Thank you!

There are couple of ways to defeat the Archmage without Flanker.

- Bring Jann the Minimite when you confront the Archmage. (If Jann was killed too in your game then I think another Minimite will take his place.)
- Find the Potion of Dissolution and fill it with the correct three spells, then drink the potion right before confronting the Archmage.
- Bring Aliizi when you confront the Archmage, but that is pretty hard to accomplish.

If you need more information, there is a guide that is much more in-depth for Sorcery! 4 than the walkthrough that The Hereteck's wrote:
