Badges Guide

<< < (6/10) > >>

AStranger:
Looking good, this is a pretty solid badge guide.

My 2 cents would be to add a section in the appendix about corpse disposal, since it's important in a few places but only really explained once. Also toss in that if you kill a mob standing in an open doorway, it doesn't leave a corpse. I took a quick look but I didn't see it listed.

Game Hunter:
Version 1.7 is out. I've been tinkering with it for a while but haven't done a lot, shouldn't posted it a long time ago. One of these days, I'll finish all of the sections (even though there's only about seven left to do) and then maybe I can get to work on something else.

Here's the original thread if anyone is interested.

- Various minor changes and fixesEDIT: Needless to say this guide contains spoilers all over the place. If you want to learn how to play the game on your own, don't look at this. If you want to figure out a particular badge, look only at that particular badge. If you desire REAL ULTIMATE POWER, it takes a while to go through the entire thing.

Deathwind:
No offense intended but it needs another editing pass. The current version has quite a few copy/paste errors.

Notes: You need only enter level 12; you do not have to clear or exit the level. For tips on AoMr completion, see Quartermaster Silver.

Game Hunter:
What's really sad is that those mistakes have surely been there since, like, the first draft, and no one bothered to tell me. I appreciate it nonetheless, and I'll make sure to check for obvious mistakes on the easy stuff before 1.8.

Like I said in the first thread, any contributions you wish to make (or just criticisms on the current stuff) should go here, and we can discuss whether or not they would fit into the guide (FYI, they usually do).

Deathwind:
do you want me to fix up some of the problems and repost it?
