I have killed all the rats and guards. Finished the Edmond quest. I am trying to kill Fergus but I keep dying. I obviously don't know how to fight. Can someone give me some guidance please.

Fergus is pretty tough, and you're pretty much forced to fight him as lvl 2, and he's lvl 4... Took me a couple of tries before I could actually kill him.

Remember to use the pause-button for tough battles. It gives you the time to think things through.

What I did was, I made sure my deathknight had high strength and agility, and I gave him a skill to increase his slashing accuracy. My other guy I gave lots of intelligence, and I gave him a fire missle spell.

Basically, you have to get your Deathknight in front to start attacking, while your other guy casts as much fire spells as possible. Don't forget to use mana potions and health potions, or regeneration potions if you actually found any.

That actually the trick for the whole game. One melee char and one magic. Best combo. The difficulty on Fergus is the fact that he heals.

Also remeber thet the stock of potions you have, counts for both deadthknight and you. Just press the right botton to switch.

How have you distributed your stat points? If you increase your Survival and Speed, it helps a lot. For both characters, at level 2 I bumped Strength up to 6, left Intelligence at 1, and got the rest to 3. I equipped a bow on my hero and left him beside the door, and walk into the torture room with just my DK. At the end of the conversation I paused, selected both characters, targeted Fergus, unpaused and watched him die. Taking the hero/archer in with the DK, Fergus tended to go after her rather than the DK.
My first time through the demo I put more into Strength and Agility right away, and had more difficulty with Fergus. Doing better damage doesn't always compensate for being slower or attacking second.

Well, I gave some good can of whoopass with my DK, My hero had a bow but was so clumsy with it that it was more dangerous for my DK than for Fergus . When we were almost death I ran with my two boys to the pit where we had come out. Lady Fergy doesn't follow you there. We went back to the cell block to catch some sleep and then we continued the fight untill he was plain dead. Took me a lot of tries also so don't worry, it's perfectly normal.

i gave my boy the magic instand fire (very nice graphics)


and my DK all the constiution i had! at the end, 19 con, with 215 health!

If you specialize in damage for your weapon(I just used one-handed slashing for the DK and crushing for me) you'll hit about twice as hard. Easily the best skill to take early on!

Seriously, how did you manage to kill him ?

Killing Fergus was so hard for me after 2days of trying. So this morning I started over with a new crew! I gave her the earth magic and him secondary fire magic he had a ax and she sword I think.. And then even still over and over and over... I even went down one hole and came up the other went into the chamber and Fergus still standing at the hole waiting for me to come up. I thought that was funny. But did not help me much, although I went into his chamber and got what I could and went into the room bottom that little fountains of health and mana and the chest with special potion I forgot what name it has..Did not help much. Then finally we killed him. I did use pause alot to regroup and give help to my guyes health or mana, it really helps if you do that. I got that info here on forum. So in the end I could kill the big spiders but not the ghost 2 of them could not kill. Was at level 4.. and so I went down the pit. Lost talking sound a few times? and my girls feet looked weird she never had shoes.
I liked it Im sure the game will be way better. Looking forward to it.

My first and second characters took a dozen tries to kill Fergus. Surprisingly my third party, a combination of the DK and my mohawked urchin with a poison bow dropped him like a sack of potatoes.

all you need is 2 melee characters and three potions....he must attack your DK Cause he can take More Damage....

first level up boost all your constitution!

My two cents:

For your warrior, use the Short Sword the Death Knight starts with (unless you somehow found something better!). Spend your first skill point on Single Handed Slashing Damage. Spend your first stat points with 3 in Agility and 2 in Speed. Then have your other character either use magic or archery. Melee works too, but I found that bows are quite powerful earlier on. You may need a healing potion or two, but this method is quite effective.

i found my own sword....fergus never stood a chance hahahahahahaha

leave DK at the rope you climb up ,go to fergus room get him to chase you down hole
go back to cell sleep then go back through the open door with the lever go into fergus room ,save game and then search for items,you can get a scimiter shield and red potions if you keep trying,make sure your fully healed .go out of room back to hole ,as soon as you see fergus Pause then selct all, hold down ctrl select fergus,release pause then watch him die heal potions you need minimum of 2

oooooo just one more post unlucky 13

The FAR easiest way is to spare the skillpoints of Level 2 upgrading for the skills the teacher teaches you. With them, it's rather easy to defeat Fergus.
I had found this out, after I started a whole new game.

Mirach,
The contents of the cupboard are random: I once found a [nocando] sword of agility there .
