This is easy:

it just doesn't seem like that old Egoboo I used to play when I was a kid

It's nostalgia. I remember playing Need for Speed 3 when it just came out thinking that graphics can't get any better than that.

Charge a fireball without releasing it to use it as a torch.

I always have a shield and spear with my adventurer if some enemies get too close to safely fireball them. I probably wouldn't do it if I had a better weapon though.

/facepalm I have no common sense what so ever. Even after having a mule farm in Diablo 2...

Level 6 adventurer with a common spear and loads of sporks throwing fireballs at anything that moves That might explain why the I couldn't do it. I haven't done any side quests because I was desperate to dump all the sporks that took all my inventory.

I couldn't beat Catacombs 1 either. I think ghosts are invulnerable in 2.7.4 and the range of swords is broken in 2.7.4 too so I got horribly murdered by bats.

Thanks Clonkinator, the sword is great for multiple monsters. Died a few times on Trogs do to the range of spears and them always breaking my block. How should I fight Scorpion without the lightning wand? Use a spear?

This probably has something to do with your class. Some are much better at Melee combat than others. Elves and Wizards, for example, are poor melee fighters. Welcome, and have a cookie. :cookie: Thanks for the cookie :) I know that a wizard is weaker at melee, but I am using an adventurer. Its fine...

Hey there, I just found out about this game and it has already managed to eat the better part of my day :) When using magic or ranged weapons I am doing sort of fine, but its enough to just equip a melee weapon and I get mobbed, poisoned, eaten, stomped on, etc. My shield gets parried and the hits u...
