Hi first time posting here. A little lazy to register. Playing MM4 + MM5. The Cloud above the Dragon Tower is a real pain. Teleported off to avoid the fighting. Will have to return later (after attaining still higher levels!).
Anyway, I seem to be running into some problems, which some may already know of:
1. Northern Sphinx
I can't seem to open those sacrophages. The last time I tried, my knight with a strength of 250+ couldn't (right now he is 300+ but I haven't tried it again).
2. Southern Sphinx
The dungeon has a few secret areas that I find no access to.
3. Lack money
Experience is abound but money is sorely lacking. I found one way to make money: refill the Gemstone mines, mine, make armour and sell. This is detrimental to your gem stockpile, unless you use Sandro as a gem making machine (ie don't return his heart but keep going to him and kill him).

You might even consider making all characters merchants. [/b]

Very good idea. I always get it as soon as I can (even before selling any unwanted piece of equipment). Joe isn't difficult to reach; just don't go too far as to meet the Jousters. Right from the start I would keep saving up cash and get it for my members (till all 6 do). Plenty of money from the Dwarven Mines. That piddly sup of 6000 gp per member is nothing compared to how much you can save with the skill.

You can buy all talents if you manage to travel through the vulcano cave but I think buying the merchant skill for everyone before is worth it.[/b]

That is only useful for some book or fountain at the Darkside in one of the towers (Western?) where (all) your secondary skills are stripped but gains permanent levels.
