general guide for ppl who havent played BT1 before.

this is just a rough discription of where u need to go.

1. explore Skara Brae until ur party is Lvl 3-5. enter houses to get some free loot. places to look for:

the Shop - only basic weapons can be purchased at start, but the only place to sell stuff
Rosco´s - until later in game the only viable place to restore spell points
Review board - get lvl ups ,buy new spell and change mage class

2. when u feel strong enough head south from the guild and beat the samurai statue. behind it to the left is a bar that sells wine, order some to enter the wine cellar.
explore and work ur way till u reach sewers lvl 2. behind a light u find a hint with the name of the mad god.

3. on central plaza is the temple of the mad god tell the priest its name.
explore and find the spectre on the lowest lvl. kill it to get its eye.

4. take the eye to harkyn´s castle in the north west of skara brae behind some golem and a dragon statue.
make ur bard sit on the throne to open secret door. make sure u find and take the crystal sword with u, equip it on all who can use it.
u can get it severall times just leave and re enter. on lvl 3 u can find the statue of the mad god. fight it to get tele to kylearan´s tower.

5. in kylearan´s tower u will face a crystal golem. deathblow with crystal sword will perma kill it. u get onyx key from kylearan.

6. go down to sewer 3 and find the stair leading up to mangar´s tower. enter and kill magar on lvl 5.

Really tough guys answer the question for the Mad God's name with "Burger"^^

Oh, I see. I thought 'deathblow' was a spell or some sort of weapon ability. Since the Crystal Sword is not "useable" that didn't make sense. I'd suggest you change the wording of the guide to something like "killing blow" or "You need to kill the Golem in normal combat with the crystal sword." In any event, I understand now.

@kryadan yes u need to serve the killing blow with the crystal sword to get past the golem.

Explored the whole Skara Brae and didnt know what I was doing wrong.

I dont have any class that can equip the crystal sword. I cannot seem to just teleport past crystal golem. How do i get past golem? I HAVE to create a class that can equip it?
