Well, apparently winning the game like 12 times isn't enough. I've decided to do a 'fast' no loss run through, going the minimum number of trips to each island.
I know some people have figured out the 'best' way of doing it, but I wanted to try and figure it out by myself. Here's my route:
Debir (Clean, steal scrolls in Eventus)
Scarlet (Clean, quest for Rusty
Bolo (Clean completely)
Rusty (Clean, maybe leave zag-zag. Get password for Scarlet, have 50-50-50)
Verona(As many quests as possible)
Montero (Get wings?)
Dersu (glasses for Bobur, bagourti in love, kill uzala)
Tekron (CLEAN COMPLETELY, including abyss!)
Umkas (Clean completely... what if we need wings? Might need wings of Necro call before this!)
Reha (pillage, get documents for Elon)
Nameless (At the very least clean dungeon, and get all quests for elsewhere)
Uzala(Defeat Ruler, get all pearls, clean)
Elon (Rescue Telion and kill Shenobi, buy demon skin, Astrology, hunchback cure)
Rusty (Deliver cure, zag-zag if not)
Scarlet (Open cave, time back scroll, get chest
Debir (Finish tower of eventus, return that one chick)
Verona (Deliver papers to degosh, get astrology stuff, wings if not already, clean anything else missed, nameless quest, Demenion)
Dersu(drop off shenobi, kill frog, deliver glasses)
Uzala(Turn in quest)
Shattera(get soul for Lew Klisan, kill Scrounger, clean)
Elon(Deliver soul, kill Gremlion)
Reha (Clean, kill K'tahu)
Verona(finish)
So far so good, halfway through Scarlet. I was hoping to do the first Eventus fight to see what scrolls they had on level two, but it just wasn't reasonable.
The new shop on Debir sold two Engineers, so I gladly purchased them (area blind is rather good that early in the game
). Debir had the ancient amulet... but good luck getting 50k before leaving the island! DID dig up Fear early on, so that's nice. Also did a quikc test 'run' to Rusty Anchor and found the shop there selling Green Dragons, so I don't need to stress out about getting the pirates/robbers before getting there. (though I may anyway since that cave is loot city, and the EGD is free).
Anyone have luck defeating the Kraken before leaving the second island? I think it may be doable, but not sure.
I don't normally use the save game scanner, but I'm considering it just to make sure there is a timeback scroll (or two !). Not being able to finish that quest sounds infuriating.
