* In Roseborough, speak to everyone in the inn. One of them will help you find a bridge that's crucial to travel on that side of the continent.
* You get more experience in combat if YOU'RE the one hitting the monsters, not your party members.


* Make sure you have (and are possibly wearing) the Molochean Hand amulet before entering T'sen Ang.
=== Ashbury ===
 
* Ashbury: Worthless Mutt is the best fighter NPC in the game. If you want him in your party, remember two things: (1) Mutt is so good at fighting that for the first half of the game, having him in your party will make combat very boring (and less lucrative in terms of experience, since Mutt will tear through enemies before you can even reach them). (2) If you want him in your party, you'll have to hoof it to the inn the first time you arrive in Ashbury. Get to the east side of the inn (SE part of town) and rescue him from the gnome kicking him to death. If you take too long, Mutt will die.
 
=== Black Mountain Clan ===
 
* By the time you explore the Black Mountain Clan, you should be at LEAST level 20, your entire party should be wearing metal armor, you’ll need to be able to take some heavy hits, you’ll need to be able to heal yourself a lot, and you’ll need at least apprentice level in repair, OR lots of weapons, OR the ability to teleport out of a dungeon with an Exit scroll to get your equipment fixed by someone else.
 
=== Isle of Despair ===


* You cannot return to the Isle of Despair once you have left.  There is an  NPC there you need to talk to in order to get the best ending for Dernholm.

* When it’s time to go to Thanatos, you can either pay a lot of money for passage or you can get your own ship. Getting the ship is more complicated, but worth it since you can travel to virtually any city for free from that point on.

* There's a warehouse in Tarant (just E of the Docks subway station) with a halfling outside. Help him clear out the rats in the warehouse, and you can use any of the interior containers for storage. Handy because it's right next to a subway station and the docks (for when you get your own ship).
