Might and Magic VIII: Day of the Destroyer Hints

Those horrid Boulder monsters are murder! What do I want in here?

  • 1 of 6: Lots of hit points, for one thing.
  • 2 of 6: Oh, to get from the dungeon? How about a valuable quest weapon that you can use yourself until you turn it in?
  • 3 of 6: The Axe of Balthazar is in a treasure chest in one of the southern rooms in the cave tunnel area.
  • 4 of 6: You'll need it to finish the Minotaur to Minotaur Lord promotion quest after you fix up Balthazar Lair in Ravage Roaming. Until then, give it to any axe-wielders in your party.
  • 5 of 6: There are three other chests with good treasure in the cave-like area, and you may want to try opening them even if your Disarm Skill isn't 16 yet. However, between those chests and the Boulders, you'll be retreating to rest and heal a lot.
  • 6 of 6: As for the Boulders, a hit-and-run strategy is slow but effective against them. Also necessary, since the Rock Blasts that the biggest Boulders throw are mighty painful.
