Dark Domain beneath Tangramayne. What is the deal with the Chasm?

[Deadly Intent]

So I imported my party from Bard's Tale Chapter 1, and I get to the end of the Dark Domain beneath Tangramayne and find that my Major Levitation spell will not get me accross the Chasm. Does that make sense? What does this winged beast have that my spell casters can't do? (grumble)

Plot armor, sadly.

[Lord Marcus]

Wings. :D

[Fenton]

Winged Creature you need to have in your party. Yeah I had to leave my Rogue at the adventure's guild because of that to get by. Still fun times.

[Wakawaka]

Eh, they called it a Chasm and not a pit, so ... I think you can suspend disbelief and imagine that the flying carpet only works for short distances.

This is a design flaw where the game designers give you a 7th slot to "house monsters" and punish you for not wandering around with a empty slot in your group for occasions such as this. There will be SEVERAL other annoying moments when they thought it would be awesome to have you use a 3 HitPoint monster in slot 1 in the middle of your dungeon.

Precisely. I think that this question deserves a rethinking.

You can suspend disbelief even more when the dead flying monster takes you over the chasm.

I keep Demon Lord in slot 1. Then Warrior, Rogue, Bard, Archmage, Archmage, Archmage. I find that if you have 2 mages with Mage Staffs and one with a Conjuration Staff that I never have to go back to town to restore my spell points.

[Adoru]

I don't think it's a design flaw, because you need that slot for the princess anyway.

They really need to buff the winged creature so he has survivability. In the current form, it can be hard to keep him alive. Especially if you get him and then do some exploring, he is so weak that he has 0 percent chance of suriving.

So really I think that is the weakest link right now. If he was pretty powerful compared to everyone else in the dark domain it would work a lot better.

i explored everything I could before the chasm. Then I went back and left one of my arcmages at the inn before picking up the winged companion.
Even in a non-melee slot I would have to heal him up every now and then because of effects like dragon breath taking half his health in one tick. o.O

Honestly, I would prefer a 'tweak' to the game in this area. Let's keep the 7 slots, but add the old 'S' slot in addition and let us move the 'S' slot to where we want it in the party (so it would actually give us a total of 8 members during gameplay with 7 Player Characters and one Non-Player Character in the party).

I felt a bit bummed when I returned out of the dungeon with the princess and the whole party got a huge xp boost, except for my arcmage Eleanore that was in the inn whom had helped almost just as much with the quest as the rest of the party but couldn't attend the last stretch because I needed the slot for the NPCs. :-/

Where is the winged creature i need to get over the chasm? I searched everything and havent found it yet.

[Thorba]

Ah damm found the creature. Thought it was just a random fellow who wanted to join my party so i clicked it away (without the automap this game was sure a curse:)

[graffen69]

For those who didn't find the winged creature it is inthe same dungeon (Dark Domain) level 2 at North 5, East 12.
