After I get back to the Boatmen and report my failure, my SP are still the same as before I started the quest.

I've killed 6 people in 2 fights, plus Levir himself which makes 7.

There are no SP per kill, but you should get SP per fights won, so if you fought on your way to the temple, you should have gotten something. In the next mission, will I need 8 Charisma to succeed? Or maybe 8 Lore? Or should I pour my points into Streetwise? That would make me a better Assassin than training to kill, right? Why aren't there any options for fighters? I kill my way to the temple, get my hands on the friggin Guildmaster of the Thieves, the gold is right there, and I can't do anything because not enough Perception. No matter how hard you fight, if you don't have 8 Perception you fail the quest. That's the difference between a successfull mission and a failed mission. I've let literally a roomful of gold slip through our grasp.Īnd it turns out, what I needed was 8 Perception instead of 6 Perception. The Guildmaster doesn't even want to look my way. I thought it was a bit unfair (my character should have been given the option to intimidate or torture the spies to get this information), but OK, at least I've done the main quest.īut now I'm returning as a total failure.

in the Aurelian spies mission, I couldn't get the reports. So I thought, if I'm very good at killing, at least I'll be able to do the Assassin Guild quests. I mean, that's what assassins do - they kill people, that's the common understanding. When I started my Assassin playthrough, I wanted to make an assassin that would be the best at killing. You can play as a fighter, but you have to realize that there will be things you won't be able to do, which is logical.Īll right, I would like to get this straight here, Originally posted by Vince:It is an optional goal because the game does not require you to complete it in order to progress. If you can't, either leave or make a deal with Levir. The secret passage is an emergency exit and much better hidden. slightly above average) to see the first door, because it's frequently used (easier to spot due to the signs of use). Is a fighter assassin no longer a viable path in Maadoran? Is it obligatory to invest into social skills now? It is viable, but don't expect to be able to complete every objective or optional goal.Įdit: pixel-hunting doesn't work in this game. Realistically, it would be a fight of 2 against 20-30 men, i.e. Levir's men were distracted by a fake attack, but now they fell back to the temple. Why - logically, you are deep within the Slums, the thieves' guild's territory. Is this a bug or am I missing something? How do I as a fighting character get out of the temple without failing the quest? At the very least, why can't we fight our way out?How - see above. But apparently I can't go back the same way.The text explains that there are Levir's men outside who will tear you apart if you attempt to leave with the gold. Or you can find a way out.įunny thing is, I got there through a hidden door in the stonework. You can also make a deal with Levir and he'll let you leave with the gold (as payment for an unspecified future favor). Can kill him and take his dagger, or talk to Hanza and admit defeat, but quest still failed.You can leave empty-handed and the game will continue. Now I'm locked in 3 rooms with Levir and Hanza. I've managed to get to the temple, took some killing.

Other ways are to betray your guild at one point or another when they plot against Gaelius and tell him about it, but it's usually not really worth it going that path as you lose lots of repuation and usually don't get the full Aurelian Praetor questline.Originally posted by Blackdragon:First Assassin mission in Maadoran. Other way is to join the Assassin's guild, and either betray them in the first mission and get the Aurelian spy to take you to Gaelius (not recommended since you miss out on a lot), or finish the whole Teron AG questline and then talk to Domitas before doing any Maadoran AG quests.

If you walked to Maadoran and talked to Domitas, you didn't fix the smelter for the Aurelians one way or another, you probably killed them all and fixed it for Antidas.

The optimal ways to become an Aurelian Praetor, which applies to everyone, not just Grifters, is to fix the smelter for the Aurelians, and they should take you staight to Gaelius. Really the only significant difference between other non-guild backgrounds that I've seen is that grifter can't get the grooved sphere in the intro, and if you're on a path where you talk to Meru's "prophet" there's a little extra color dialogue. Background doesn't matter that much, what faction you join is what determines Al-Akia access, etc.
