Green Warrior Robe

[krickerd]

On castle lvl 1, when you first run into a small group of berzerkers and you find the robes, I'm just curious if all 6 characters equipped these if you could just walk past the 396 berzerkers on level 3. Was that the intent? Never tried it.

the berzerkers are great xp if you can handle them. but yeah. that's the intent. Also according to one of the fan wikis[bardstale.fandom.com] it will help you avoid random encounters. Might be useful if you're running away(never tried this either)!

Okay thanks. As many times as I played the original, and the 2 times with the remaster, I've never tried wearing them. They'd be quite an armor handicap for most characters. But it is interesting.

There's nothing in the item code to indicate that they'd make it easier to run away, unlike the Speedboots. It's unlikely that they would stop random encounters, but I haven't tested that.

I can confirm that the robes only help you to avoid the Berzerker battle (at least in this version of the Trilogy, I'm unsure about the original Bard's Tale).

You can move past that square, and the berzerker battle is preserved. If you go back to the square and one of your party members isn't wearing the robes, you can trigger the battle.

They don't help you avoid other random encounters.
