Starman Plays Betrayal at Krondor - Part 80

The grand finale! Will Pug stop Makala from using The Lifestone? Will Prince Arutha's forces repel the Dark Elf invasion? Will the final battle be a challenge even with everything I've done to game the system? All will be revealed!

Starman Plays Betrayal at Krondor - Part 79

In which we hunt the final two members of The Six in what is meant to be the most tense and climactic portion of the game. Of course it's hard to feel tense when our sequence-breaking and bug-exploiting have made us the next best thing to invincible. Of course we're still vulnerable to pit traps and forgetting to save early and often...

Starman Plays Betrayal at Krondor - Part 78

In which we encounter the rarest monster in the game and kill it easily, before going on to explore more of the ruins of Sethanon, kill two more of The Six and acquire a spell that will let you instant-kill nearly anything.... which would be really impressive if Gorath couldn't already do that to most enemies with one sword strike.

Starman Plays Betrayal at Krondor - Part 77

In which we enter into the caves below Sethanon and start fighting our way through the forces Makala has arrayed against us, including the mysterious wizards known as The Six.

Starman Plays Betrayal at Krondor - Part 76

In which, having armed ourselves with the treasures of the ancients, we rescue Pug's daughter, Gamina, end Chapter 8 and start Chapter 9 with another massive information dump for the benefit of everyone who hasn't read the original Riftwar Trilogy.

Starman Plays Betrayal at Krondor - Part 75

In which we return to the Pillars of Karzeen, get even more exposition regarding the weird world in which we find ourselves, gain the blessings of the sleeping gods and go off in search of the lost treasure of the Valheru. Quite a lot for such a short chapter!

Starman Plays Betrayal at Krondor - Part 74

In which we're on a mission from God (or a god, at least) to find a magical cup so we can free Pug from his imprisonment. This is far more exciting than it sounds, however, as we fight our way through more snake-men and magic-immune giant ants, before Pug gives us the mother of all info dumps regarding... the Betrayal At Krondor!

Starman Plays Betrayal at Krondor - Part 73

Trapped on an alien world with no magic, we start our search for Pug. With giant ants that are immune to spellcraft and snake men all around us, we'd be in big trouble if I hadn't abused the game bugs to make Owyn a much better fighter than he has any right to be. We also investigate seven strange pillars as I further metagame the system.

Starman Plays Betrayal at Krondor - Part 72

In which, having located the rift gate Delekhan's troops are using to invade the Dimwood, we go off in search of a password to let us go south, so we can seek the equipment we need to destroy the gate. This leads us to the end of Chapter 7 and the dramatic opening video to start Chapter 8.

Starman Plays Betrayal at Krondor - Part 71

In which we start to search the Dimwood for the moredhel rift machine, discover that the greatest ranger in the kingdom can't keep track of where he's traveled  and have an encounter with a rebel moredhel chieftain who may be the only person in bigger trouble than us right now.

Starman Plays Betrayal at Krondor - Part 70

In which we explore the Valheru ruins in search of a short-cut to Elvandar and the hilt of a long-lost magical sword.  We then start Chapter 7 and arm James and Locklear with the gear Gorath and Owyn left behind for them as we embark on a mission to find and destroy the magical rift that is bringing the moredhel into the Dimwood!

Starman Plays Betrayal at Krondor - Part 69

In which, having exploited the game to give Owyn and Gorath ludicrous strength, we go off in search of that "something unnatural" that Gorath and Owyn sensed earlier and take up a quest to help the first Rusalka free her sisters from enslavement.

Starman Plays Betrayal at Krondor - Part 68

In which we start to explore the forests of Elvandar in earnest, in search of the missing Prince Calin and a magical well that is home to the biggest glitch in the final patched version of Betrayal At Krondor.

Starman Plays Betrayal at Krondor - Part 67

In which we return to the Mac Mordain Cadal, where the path to Elvandar has been cleared. Which means we finally get to loot what little bit of the mine we haven't explored yet before emerging into a particularly dark and worrisome forest and fighting our first wyvern.

Starman Plays Betrayal at Krondor - Part 66

In which we return to the Dimwood to game the system by leaving some very fine swords for James and Locklear to use in Chapter Seven. We then return to LaMut and explore the area around Yabon one final time.

Starman Plays Betrayal at Krondor - Part 65

In which our going out of our way to do the stupidest quest in the game pays off with a sword we have no need of. But after we help Abbot Graves secure his escape to foreign parts (and secure the game's second hint that we should go to Elvandar), we'll be off on the road to put that sword where it will do some good.

Starman Plays Betrayal at Krondor - Part 64

In which we head eastward to secure Abbot Graves' escape from Malac's Cross. But we're not stopping there!  No, we're also taking a totally unnecessary side-trip to Caval Keep, which the game even tells you is completely pointless several times, all to steer you away from the most pointless quest in the whole game.

Starman Plays Betrayal at Krondor - Part 63

So we've learned that Pug's best friend Tomas might have some idea what The Book of Macros is and that he is in Elvandar from a random book in the biggest library in the world. So now we're going to Elvandar, right?!

Wrong! Now I'm going to show you the OTHER way Betrayal At Krondor tells you where to go, which requires a trip to Malac's Cross and a fight with an army of Panathian serpent priests, in order to save a turbulent priest.

Starman Plays Betrayal at Krondor - Part 62

In which we easily sneak around many ambushes on the road to Nivek's office and then make our way back to Sarth as the game drops yet another subtle hint that we might want to go there.

You know - in case it wasn't obvious that we might want to check the biggest library in the world for The Book of Macros?

Starman Plays Betrayal at Krondor - Part 61

In which we take our final trip through the sewers of Krondor in search of a cursed idol. Hard to see how our luck could get much worse than having to explore a new level of the sewers, though.
