To fight Krazzak or not, Magic Valley in Elf land
 

So after I summon the turtle and he gives up all the crystals, there is an option to fight the orc shaman Krazzak or not to. If I don't fight him, I get the +3int, +10 mana Old Skull and a shop opens up, which is what I did on my first play through.

I'm just wondering: what happens if you do choose to fight him and win? Do you get a better item out of it? Does the shop have better troops / items available? Is the shop open at all?

Thanks in advance.

There is no point fighting him, you get the same item if you beat him and shop is empty.

Well - if you don't need anything from the shop - reload and fight him - you get XP and money from the fight at least (another won fitght - better score)

Number of fights does not impact your score. And by that time the xp/gold should be unnecessary anyway. So do whatever you want :D. I instead always kill the arrogant wizard on the same map after shopping.

Is it possible to first let him live + shop, then kill him? Cool, I have missed this. :)
