I have a very strong decked out party, but the final boss uniquely causes a higher tier Terrify effect which I cannot shrug How do you defend against Terrify? I could purge it (Solider/Shaman/and Scarabs), but that's not an option when EVERYONE is out My main character has 73% Mind Resist, but that doesn't seem to help any...

Don't get me wrong, i loved first game and finished it but this game looks exactly like the first one. Characters and story are the only different things as far as i can see. Looks more like expansion than a second title.

Does this game continue the story from the 1st game? If I skip the first game, will I feel confused or out of place in regards to the story and characters of this game?

since avadon1 is on linux can we have this one on linux to?

I am required to go down into Avadon's halls under the dungeon and release some "red stuff." The only place I'm aware of to get there is the stairs leading to the Lower Cells. However, there's a closed gate when I get there, and I don't know how to open it.
