Important question:

What do you meet at location number 2 in the castle lower level 1 map ?

I will investigate location number 3 in the castle entrance level map

I will investigate location number 2 in the castle lower level 1 map

Still afraid to leave entrance because do not feel sure when am i and will be able to back to known location. But will soon.

I have 3 kind of keys:
SCATTY - CHROME KEYS - 3pcs
BRAVE - key&spades - 1 pc
key&ramm - 1 pc
I used on of BRAVE keys but which of both kinds

[kmonster]

I see in your screenshots that some of your characters didn't equip their armor and run around half-naked, vulnerable to monster attacks, some don't even even have a weapon equipped (ninjas and monks don't need weapons but the others do).
It's easy to forget an armor part when equipping, in this case press EQUIP again and repeat the process. Your ninja Scatty forgot to equip the lower part of his garb and is holding healing potion in his hand so it's not free for attacking, bad idea. The magical sword of striking should be used by a true hero who can wield it effectively, give it to the brave. The longsword can be traded to the thief or bard in return.
After equipping the mage don't forget to trade the staff he doesn't need any more to the priest so he also has a weapon.
Check everyone if (s)he has equipped weapon and all armor parts.
During combat you can have the mage use the sparklers from inventory (don't equip them) to cause damage and improve skill.

Do you know how to pick locked doors in the game with your thief ?

I'm confused that you fought "Captain Mattew+ 4 pirates and even King of Bane", you shouldn't be able to meet them early.
I suspect you accidentally met the Captain at location number 2 in the castle lower level 1 map where you are supposed to find a man named Queequeg but because of the copy protection he was replaced, so check if you can find him there, if not, you can't finish the game.

Last moment report:
1. Location 3 at the entrance map
I located the point 3 and approached. I tried the closed door with keys, no result. Then I forced the door by Brave and it was opened. Before entering i saved. Very good idea. Inside the room i see nice chest in the wall and..wait,wait again same Captain Matey (no Mattew). The battle was long and merciless. He is immunized against spell attacks of Kmonster and Capo. Moreover after my attempts of Run 3-4 Pirates or Rogues appeared to help him. He killed very easy my Scatty and Brave and step by step eliminate all my team. The last Mohican was Capo. I see for first time the figure of Dead.
I was beaten.
But then i loaded again and killed some groups of rats (2 small and 2 giant rats) increasing this way my XP and even levels. OK.
Again attempt. Ah!
4 rats only inside!! The admiral yoga easy killed the opps and find the famous book Book&Directions. The priest Twill was entitled to have the book. But when tried to use the above mentioned book it answered.-You have no right to used-

..I swear in my dad that i met this King of Bane! It looks like old magician and fly as bat then landed and transferred in man figure. Then Bla bla bla - I am tired and so on..

...Again same fail as in Xeen? No equipped characters? ha ha ha stupid me.

Do you know how to pick locked doors in the game with your thief ?

No. How?

Is some way to end a battle when i am lost and it is real torture to wait to see how one by one yr heroes died?

Now TO location number 2 in the castle lower level 1 map

[kmonster]

How to open locked doors with your thief:

1.Face the door.
2.Save your game.
3.Press RETURN for options
4.Select the OPEN command
5.Select PICK
6.When asked "who will try ?" select your thief (PACO)
7.Press RETURN. If both tumblers are green afterwards you succeed, if not you fail. There's a chance for skill raise whether you succeed or not.
8.If you failed go back to 5. and try to pick again, if you get the JAMMED message reload. Jammed doors are almost impossible to be opened without keys you might find or not.

You can also force doors or try the knock-knock spell but picking them open is better since skills improve.


Disarming traps from chests is similar:

1.Face the chest
2.Save your game
3.Press RETURN for options
4.Select the OPEN command
5.Click INSPECT
6.Select your thief(PACO). You can have the others inspect too or cast the divine trap spell. Some green letters should be shown green in the lower left corner below ??? TRAP ???. Remember them.
7.Select DISARM
8.Select your thief(PACO) as disarmer
9.Choose a trap name which contains all green letters from before



There's no way to end a battle before it's over.

Priests can't cast the DIRECTION spell and therefore can't use the BOOK of DIRECTIONS to learn it.
To see which classes can use it click ASSAY in the inventory screen and select the book. You'll see green and purple letters. First row is all green since all races and both male and female can use it.
Second row only M,B,B and S are green so only mage, bard, bishop and samurai can use it, P is not green so priests cannot use it.
Have your mage use the book to learn the spell. If he has mana in earth(green) spells he can cast the spell immediately, if he doesn't have let him learn another green spell at level up to get mana there.

Roger that wizard Kmonster! Jawohl, aber..
I will answer with other words of thanks because the words" Thank You " und Danke Sehr are tired already.
Let try Russian lang - Spacibo Vam - ask some Russian speaking member of team - maybe Caro Capo, Paco the Great, twillight or at least Master Scatty.
OK let share my adventure with this location number 2 in the castle lower level 1 map:
brave & Co. very carefully and step by step advanced. I am sorry i have not the Ariadne's ball. You, of course know who is Ariadne from Greek Mythology. After some battles and dead - yes, i (aka SCATTY drink poison from one of two fountains) at last i located and opened door to location 2.
Rats!! Again this nasty Captain Matey offered us : drink or fight. Scatty selected fight. Surprise! Bad! Captain invited 4 Pirates against us. Well, brave and Co. started looooooooooooooooong battle focused on the pirates. To be fair i will note that ordinary weapons are shit. Why? Because no one point of damage using staff or others.
Main damages from - Scatty Breath, Kmonster (very good spellcaster - Fire missile and more + one spell of Capo - no more points). In this stage KMonster is very, very suitable soldat..OK. I was lucky to eliminate 3 from total 5 opps - Captain+ 4 pirates)...
-And then yoga? - voice from gallery.
--Then - antwortet yogi - then Run and run and run.
Sadly i was again in a room, which soon was visited by...who?...yes.. His Majesty King of Bane..
I stupidly select Conversation with the monster. But he answered only : I do not understand---
and nervous i canceled the game...

Leider hast Sie meine Frage nicht beantwortet. Warum?
Q: How do You, dear Kmonster, know all about every detail (even smallest) of game??
Das ist ummoglich!!


OOO!Nein!
You speak about meeting with some QQQ man here. If not the game is kaput?
True???

[kmonster]

I've spent and enjoyed planning the optimal party for a very long time, this is the best part in Wizardry 6+7 in my opinion so I remember more things. I don't know all details but I still have Wizardry 6 installed so I can check things fast, know where to look for information and since I've already finished the game I'm not afraid of spoilers.


Your game is broken, Yoga.

I suspect it's because of the copy protection. I tried it out myself and without typing the correct magic words I also meet the wrong persons.

Try the following: Start the game but instead of loading your saved game use "add party member" to fill your party and then click "start new game". Enter the correct magic words. You can go to location number 2 in the castle lower level 1 map without a fight, if you meet Queequeg there everything is fine.

Then you can restart the game from the beginning (you have only played a very little part of it), your rolled characters should still be there (did you make the backup before starting the game as I recommended ?), eventually you can reroll a few characters if you changed your mind or want higher bonuses. This time make sure you always type the correct magic words.

True, dear Kmonster.
Is it not correct when team waits to find Queequeg and buy some bombs to kill the Captain and his gang to meet very Captain instead of trader.

You told me when You finished Wiz 7.

What about Wiz 8?

For a while brave will follow Your instructions and reduce his posting untill positive result.

Wish me luck!

I decided to roll again all heroes until find the best results:

I will follow strictly the first instruction hoping this time to make Paco no thief but proud Faerie Monk.
Please tell me asap (but do not worry-if You are not with yr PC i will wait all the day for You-moreover i may Hibernate my PC) is good idea for Scatty to be no Dragon Ninja but F Dragon Valkyrie with the next characteristics, namely:
14 7 11 13 10 11 8 12 - bold are STR and VIT
I had 16 Bonus points. Sie recommended 15+.
What to do with Skill points, bitte?

I did random command and without any XP rushed to visit this trader Qeee. Six monsters attacked me and killed 3 of my heroes. But i starved to meet the famous man. Even with 3 heroes i met the man in question: He offered me some Oil. Hope the fuc-ed copy protection is broken forever.

Didn't play Wizardry 8 yet.

Why rerolling all characters ? You can keep those who are fine. I think I rolled my characters while watching TV or listening to the radio since it doesn't require full attention. You know that you can roll characters one by one and don't have to get them all in one session ?

Valkyrie has theology as casting skill so put all skill points into it.
For Valkyrie dwarves are better than dracons since you get the same efficiency with a a bonus 2 lower. For dracon valkyrie I'd roll at least for 17+ so she can start with 16 str for carrying capacity but if you want to redo your whole party maybe we should discuss the party composition first.

As long as you always enter the right magic words you should be fine. You can repeat the running to Queequeg process without typing in the correct magic words and see if you meet the captain again there instead.
The oil is a quest item but it will take a long time until you need it so buying it early will only waste inventory space. You can buy weapons/armor or even spellbooks from him if you have money (You can also sell useless stuff there).
