There is a boat you can catch near the bridge if i rememeber correctly

kovacm · 10 March 2014, 13:19

^
"captain from Spannenberg went to Burnville with raft to see relatives and he never return"

...so there is no raft or boat in Spannenberg...

alexh · 10 March 2014, 14:57

Yes you need the ring of Sobek.

Why dont you have it?

You get it when you make the ANTIDOTE for the fisherman's sick daughter.

Talking to the fisherman and your grandfathers ghost give you the information you need to start the quest.

Talk to Father Anthony in the Spannenburg chapel about ANTIDOTE.

If you really need to level up, you can try farming Desert Lizards or maybe Orcs. The lizards should always respawn as an ambush encounter near the southern edge of the desert north of SB, and the Orc ambush might also respawn near the Orc Cave. I'm not sure how long it takes to respawn, though.

because I did not return Alkem ring (thus, he did not open store in Alchemy Tower and I did not obtain empty flask for antidote).
and I did not return ring to Alkem because it is my precious

(I really try to find some other way to continue journey while keeping Alkems ring)

@Cherno Orc's down not seems to respawn and I only encounter Desert Lizards two times... anyway, it will take to much time now to invest in swimming skills just to hold Alkems Ring

until I boost swimming skill I will have more than enough Training points for Nelvil mage to boost his U-M to 99%!

so I simple will continue to play as story should go: I will return Alkems rinfg to Akem and get Antidote and get Sobek ring at the end and continue to Burnville

Retro-Nerd · 10 March 2014, 17:18

Why do you think that? It's not full screen and pretty optimized. Even playable enough on an unexpanded A1200, and surely smooth enough with a 030@40MHz turbo card.

alexh · 10 March 2014, 18:34

You wrote 40Hz [sic] not 40MHz

Retro-Nerd · 10 March 2014, 18:41

Sloppy read.

Cherno · 10 March 2014, 20:29

I think my brother once managed to swim to Burnville without the Ring of Sobek by just using a ton of healing potions to counter the massive loss of HP while in the water.

Thalion · 11 March 2014, 01:31

The game is meant to be played the way it is. So there is no real drawback in giving alkem him ring. Although the ring is pretty powerful you will get plenty of other nice rings later in the game. So no need to shed tears about this loss.

Cherno · 27 July 2014, 22:00

I can't find the thirsty Lizardman on Morag! I fought my way through all palace including the last one where you need the dune ship, and I have bought the Morag water flask but I have no idea where the peron is that needs it. The walkthroughs just say something about a Morag Tower or the last palace but I can't find any NPCs anywhere

Help!

Thalion · 27 July 2014, 23:02

If i remember correctly and my old handwritten coords are right the Tower should be around the coordinated 19/14
I hope this helps.

Cherno · 29 July 2014, 00:36

Muchas Gracias, it was right there

Thalion · 02 August 2014, 00:43

Always glad to help

Has Ambermoon been converted to an English WHDLOAD install yet?

EDIT : N/m I got the installable version from here http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=29500

It doesn't need to be as it has a built in HD installer on the disks. Just pop in Disk A in workbench.

If you are going to play all the way through I would advise applying the unofficial patches to fix the bugs which have been found in v1.07 (English).

http://thalion.exotica.org.uk/games/ambermoon/bugs.html (There are some more since this list was last updated)

You can finish the game and never hit any of them but at least 3 of them make the game crash.

Meynaf has fixed 90% of them in a single patch.

BarryB · 19 August 2014, 10:12

Will this ever get 100% patched? I know people have tried to help and then dropped off the radar leaving the project in a permanent state of incompleteness!

I downloaded the english version and it had lots of strange DM files, not ADF, any reason for this?

Cheers

I have oblitered more bugs in Ambermoon. I have discovered that in 2 parts, some texts and as such parts of important informations were not displayed, this due to a text format error.

It's related to the dwarf son and his mom, and in another place.

Look in the ambermoon threads for that.
