I easily defeated the witch doctor, but now i have the meerca henchmen to defeat but can't even get passed their second hit! It seems like such a big gap between enimies. Any advice on weapons, training (although most done by lab ray, i could train if required).
Your first pet is better, but neither is strong enough for the henchmen. They are beatable at strength 55 IF you have awesome weapons, and at strength 85 if you have good weapons. Your weapons are pretty good, so you're mostly going to need to train, or wait (quite a while) for the lab to raise your strength to 85. I'll assume you're not going to bother with defence at all, which I don't really recommend... but if you plan to do 1-player only, you can get by. You just won't be able to use any shields or dual-duties and will have to rely on full blockers like your ring or percentage blockers like downsize!.
Also, get rid of that bronze scorchstone! It's useless for both of your pets. Greater Healing Scroll heals 50 hit points and is much, much cheaper. Here's the set you should get:
Ring of the Lost
Stone Club (buyable)
Greater Healing Scroll (buyable, cheap)
Downsize! (buyable, cheap)
Purple Sticky Hand
Snowglobe Staff
2x one-use bomb, like a snowball or muffin, or a reflector or blocker or whatever
Eventually, you should also grab a Honey Potion, the best bomb until you're up in the 16+ icon weapon range.
Faerie abilities are a MUST, an absolute must. In my first post on this thread, I explained what each of them do. Basically, you can use probably two on full strength (usually burrow and sink) and one on medium (I usually use restore or regeneration, but it depends) during a battle. When you use one, it takes up some of the power in the green power bar beneath your pet. You do not want that power to go to 0, because if it does, nothing in the drop-down box, even your species ability and fierce, will have an effect.
I don't know if people update their successes but here goes... I beat the meerca henchmen, i managed to borrow a honey potion and wand of reality(i think that's the name, the weapon from NQ2) and didn't have to train. Thanks for your help...the ghostkercheif is next but i'll have to wait a while before i can beat him even with borrowing decent weapons!
