Walkthrough for Might and Magic VII: Playing Archer, Cleric and two Sorcerers

Patches installed: Mm710-11.exe and GrayFace MM7 Patch v1.6.2

© bg2mez 1

GENERAL NOTES

Unless you use the GrayFace patch: Do not use "ALWAYS RUN" mode: this slows melee fighting by 25% and ranged by 30%, even if standing still!

Use items to boost misc. skills: Disarm Trap, ID Item, and Alchemy. Only the highest item counts (no stacking)

Keep stat boosting items for Contests; do not sell immediately

Sell (and buy items and skills) with Merchant and Trader (not Duper) to maximize gold

Harmondale gives 15% more gold than Erathia/Tularean and 40% more than Avlee

A Trader adds to Merchant: 6.5% in Harmondale, 7.5% in Erathia/Tularean, and 9.3% in Avlee

Hire a Banker (cost is 1000 gp) to pick-up loot for an extra 10% net if you expect to collect more than 11k gp in gold

No need to get Expert or Master Learning; Novice level 1 (+10% xp's for monsters killed) is actually fine for the entire game

There are a huge number of xp's in the game! There are no Instructors in Harmondale; get in Tularean, Erathia, Tatalia or Nighon

Finalizing a quest with a Teacher or Instructor does not give extra xp's

The best early item is a ring, cloak or gauntlets of mana regeneration (give to Cleric) e.g. "of the Eclipse"

Next best item is "of Disarming" skill for safer disarming of locked chests!

Stores restock items every month. Check the re-stocking date by buying all the items and a message will appear

Keyboard: Use Arrow keys; strafe holding Shift+arrows or use "[ ]" keys; Fly using Page Up/Page Down, Home to land

TRAVELLING Map crossing time reductions by walking: Pathfinder -3 days, Tracker -2 days, Guide -1 day

Stables only: Horseman -2 days

Ships only: Navigator -3 days, Sailor -2 days, Pirate -2 days

Explorer: -1 day for all methods of travel

Gate Master: Casts Master rank Town Portal 1x per day (2000 gp to join!)

Walkthrough for Might and Magic VII Notes /

Cost Day / Gold

Start at Emerald Isle Inventory Spell books at start are always the same; rings: can get up to +5 stat

or resistance

Mon 1 Jan 1168

Well Up hill: boost Luck stat of Archer (might help disarm); run down the

hill to the Well near pond and click on it to get 1k gp else re-load

1200 gp

Get Quests (Q) Talk to Lord Markham: he gives Quest (Contestants)

Explore lands Chest near start shore: can get a Bow, Helm and Shield

Pedestal Touch the pedestal for Day of the Gods buff, located beyond the three

knights up the hill

knights up the hill

Contest Contest of ___________ (INT this time) +3 skills points all!

Explore lands Loot chest around back shore

Dragon Cave Quickly get Contestant's Shield, Longbow and armor only at this time

(leave other stuff as markers on the floor for later battle with Dragon)

Clear map Clear Fire Flies; get Sea Shell from chests

Note: Do not use "ALWAYS RUN" mode: this will slow melee fighting

by 25% and ranged by 30%, even if standing still in Always Run

mode! Test; the patched version might not behave like this

Temple (quest) Carefully clear; find the Wealthy Hat in a chest, and the Floor Tile on

the floor in a secret room on the south side of the temple

Can talk to one of the knights to provoke into a fight! Can loot one of

them for a longbow!

6k gp

Inn Outside Inn buy a Lute from Ailyssa the Bard for 500 gp

Finalize Quest 6 am - 6 pm: finalize the Missing Contestants with Lord Markham 1k

gp, 1k xp

Tue 2 Jan 6am

Give contest items to Judge for 500 xp each: red potion, shell,

longbow, lute, tile and wealthy hat

Talk to Lord Markham again -> Castle Harmondale awarded and 1k

xp -> Ready to Level-up to Level 4!

Hirelings Merchant and Trader (no need to know Merchant skill) to get the best

skill costs and vendor prices. The Merchant skill hardly makes a

difference when training so only get the skill for one character (Cleric)

300

Note: Avoid Mr. Malwick; he seems to be bugged anyway

Train To Level 4: each character gains 15 skill points 180 26 Jan 9am

Note: Taking a pause between each level, e.g. to adventure from 9

am - 6 pm, takes the same number of days to train!

*Traditionally got Learning4 even though the payback time is debatable. Learning4 vs 1 gives only 3% more xp's for killed monsters only

Learning1 still gives 10% extra xp's for killed monsters; and avoiding Learning E saves 8k gp for the party

**Cleric Merchant4 only needed for entire game; no one else needs the skill!

Join Guilds Air (to be able to buy the Learning skill), Fire; eventually join the

others (Spirit, Body) but price is same in Harmondale

Buy skills With a Merchant and Trader:

Healing Tent: for Cleric: Merchant x1 415

Weapons Store: Bow x3 (370/390x2) 1150

No need to buy any items! Wait until Tularean Forest

Armorer: Cleric: Shield x1 (370), Sorcerers: Leather x2 (390) 1150

Inn: for Archer: Disarm x1 (390), Perception x1 (390) 780

Air Guild: Sorcerers: Learning x2 (780) if have money 1560

Alchemist: Alchemy; ID Items from Magic Shop (390x2) 780

TOTAL SPENT: 6415

Sell After getting Merchant level 4: sell stuff (no need to ID Items) but

keep all shields and armors for battle against Dragon (will cast

vigorously at Cleric and break his shield and armor)

Keep all Blue and Red potions too

Keep also any scrolls of Fire Protection and Bless, etc for upcoming

fight with Dragon

Potions Make a few normal level potions, mix potions to sell for 26 gp

Potions Make a few normal level potions, mix potions to sell for 26 gp

Yellow Potion = Cure Weakness

Blue Potion = Magic Potion

*Red + Yellow = Cure Disease (Orange) (make several to sell)

*Red + Blue = Cure Poison (Purple)

*Yellow + Blue = Awaken (Green) 2300 gp

Buy skills If have money buy 2x Body Building (390/385) 775 1500 gp

Save 1000 gp at this point to buy 2x Chain skill in Harmondale

Prepare for Dragon hunting…

Hirelings Hire a Scholar for 500 gp! 500

Buff Well near Inn, Day of the Gods pedestal, and the pedestal of fire

resistance near the Dragon's Cave

Dragon Cave Cast Wizard Eye and Bless Archer, save and then enter cave

Cleric will be the main target so change armor as it gets broken!

First run: go counter clockwise and let the Dagon fight the Rats; run

all way around the edge of the cave and seek refuge beside the exit

in the corner, facing east.

Note that the Dragon will naturally drift counter clockwise which

leaves you safe to Save Game!

You cannot leave the dungeon once started (Dragon will be reset) so

save often in the cave

To take down the Dragon:

Technique 1: CCW around cave; turn-shoot-turn-run for 1/2 second-

repeat:

From the safe corner run around the edge of the perimeter counter

clockwise

The first opportunity to shoot will not be until you are at 11 o'clock (on

the mini-map) where the first "bump" is

© bg2mez 3

Only shoot if the Dragon is NOT facing you, i.e. only shoot while he

is in transit, otherwise you will be hit. Turn quickly and shoot and then

turn back and keep running immediately!

The 2nd opportunity to shoot is counter clockwise up the larger

bump: turn very fast, shoot, turn very fast and run for 1/2 second, and

repeat

If you hit for damage you should retreat to the safe corner by the

exit, wait for the Dragon to rotate around and then save the game and

save often!

On the next sortie: repeat as above; from the "high" bump you

should be able to establish a rhythm of "turn-shoot-turn-run for 1/2

second-repeat" such that the dragon is always in transit when you

turn to shoot

Keep circling him and he will naturally move counter clockwise!

If you see him facing you, do not shoot! Turn and run for 1/2 second

then try again.

Retreat to the safe corner and save often i.e. after every successful

sortie!

Technique 2: Direct assault, then CCW around cave

From the safe corner run directly/slightly to the right of the dragon

and fire a couple of shots as you run past him. Keep running to the

north edge and then use the above technique by running around the

edge of the cave counter clockwise.

Then, run circles around him and establish a rhythm of "turn-shoot-

turn-run for 1/2 second-repeat" such that the dragon is always in

transit when you turn to shoot.

Retreat to the safe corner and save often!

Once fallen, multiple loot for an amulet, ring, belt or cloak of:

of the Eclipse (Mana regeneration) is the best item to get;

of Disarming skill, e.g. +21 or more is the next best item;

of ID Items skill, e.g. +23 or more is for convenience

Stop looting there!

Do NOT loot for anything else such as armor, weapons or black

potions otherwise the game is brokenSurprisingly you do not need good armor for the Sorcerers or anyone

else at this stage or for a long time

Use an Editor to roll-back your gold to the amount prior to

but this actually isn't necessary if you use readily available potions to counter effects such as Paralyzed, Stoned and Insane (Eyes in Nighon Tunnels)

Travel plan: focus on getting Water Master (don't worry about Body Master)

Do not loot around Titans Stronghold, party too weak!

Return to the village. From the eastern side of the map use Jump to

go due south until you find a valuable wand on the ground. Do not

continue further south or face certain death

otherwise could hire Merchant/Trader to buy/sell (Stone City gives the

most gold) but there is no need to right now

Note: To find hirelings can use Town Portal to a location where lots

of NPC's remain (e.g. Harmondale, Tularean and Erathia)

Buy If 6 pm - 6 am can buy a nice weapon, otherwise use Town Portal to

return here at 6 pm or later. Magic store does not have great items

(can have Scroll of Invisibility) so skip it

Can get: Sublime Spear or Exquisite Long Dagger 800

Sorcerer could enchant items such as bows and weapons!

Have enchanted: Mogred Helm of Armsmaster+8 & +12!

Plan for next phase

- Harmondale: talk to Ambassadors; in general focus on main quests

after doing a few upgrades:

- Deyja: finalize upgrade quest for Cleric

- Avlee: finalize upgrade quest for Archer; Sorcerer get Air Master;

get great items in Titan's Stronghold

- Tatalia: get Body Master

- Tularean: get main quest from Eldrich Parson and do in Erathia

- Erathia: get main quest from Catherine and do in Tularean

Note: must be 6 am - 6 pm to talk with Eldrich and Catherine

CHECK SCHEDULES and make a TRAVEL PLAN

Pre-buffing routine: Prep routine using Town Portal:

Nighon: main fountain +50 INT/PERS; fly up to +20 all resistances

well

Mid-west village: Pedestal of Heroism; well restores 50 hp

Erathia: main fountain +50 Might; +20 Body Resistance well; Pedestal

of the Gods, +10 Accuracy well (east)

Harmondale: Stoneskin Pedestal near Tavern; +10 Might well

Harmondale: Stoneskin Pedestal near Tavern; +10 Might well

Tularean: main fountain of Earth resistance, Shield Pedestal (south)

Cast spells: Protection from Magic, Fire/Air/Water Resistance,

Feather Fall, Fire Aura, Bless

Prep routine 2 after choosing Path of Light:

Nighon fountain)

Deyja: +10 Fire Resistance well (NW town, by south house)

Celeste: main fountain?

Cast additional spells: Day of Protection, Day of the Gods

Walk to Stone City (via tunnels) Still have Banker so now loot some of the Barrows, but the priority is

to get to Deyja, Avlee and Tatalia

Stone City gives the highest payout by far! E.g. Topaz (worth 750 gp)

gets 616 gp in Stone City vs 364 gp in Harmondale

Magic planner:

Sorcerer 1: Try Light max or use Air. Can use Air vs all enemies except use Light vs Titan's, Evil Eye, Green Dragon, Air Elementals (of course)

Sorcerer 2: Use Fire vs all (Incinerate is highest indoor damage dealing spell vs one target) except use Acid Burst vs Devils, Red Dragon, Gazer (eye)

Sorc.2 could use Acid Burst vs all except Wraith, Vampire, Shade/Spector, Ghasts, Blue Dragon, Floating Eye, Water Elementals (of course)

Conclusion:

Fire is best in general vs the largest number of enemies (few are immune)

But, Water for Acid Burst seems the most economical: does around 99 damage at skill level 15 for only 10 spell points

Therefore Archer, having only a few mana points, probably eventually get Water Magic for Acid Burst!

If in doubt, can always use Light Bolt vs all enemies, except Medusa's and Light Elementals

*Archer: Water for Acid Burst seems like way to go; does around 99 damage at skill level 15 for only 10 spell points

**Cleric: Can use Light Bolt vs all enemies, except Medusa's and Light Elementals
