I have some assorted questions about Quarterstaff. Hints and spoilers
would be greatly appreciated!
- Is it possible to get the "Wild Wizard" to join your party?
- What is the best way to deal with the Chief Torturer and the
druid guard?
- How do you get the items (quarterstaff, potions, etc...) from the
sarcophagus of the Grand Druid?
- How do you get to the lower levels? I think I have been through
every room on level one (including the Mud and Treasure rooms) but
I haven't found any way to level two. I would prefer hints not spoilers
on this one.
Thanks in advance!

Uh, mild spoilers follow... hit 'n' now to skip 'em... >- Is it possible to get the "Wild Wizard" to join your party? I don't think so. You can kiss him and smile at him all you want, but I've never gotten him to join and I've never heard of him joining. >- What is the best way to deal with the Chief Torturer and the > druid guard? Heh. Lock the druid guard in the manacles -- you must do this first. It might take a couple of tries, but it's certainly worth it. Once the druid guard is incapacitated, beat the living hell out of the chief torturer. (S)he isn't going to do much damage with the whip, save un-wielding your weapons for you. Once (s)he is dead, just dispose of the incapacitated druid guard. (<-- good for raising proficiencies.) >- How do you get to the lower levels? > I haven't found any way to level two. Gosh... it's been a while since I've played, but here's a suggestion... Down in the southern part of level one there's a spiral passage. Explore it. Revealing hint: you might want the explorer to be wearing the ring of levitation. Cheers... Adam

I've found it is easiest to deal with the Torturer first. Then, the druid won't run into the cage. > (Question about getting items from sarcophagus.) Go inside it.

I know we got th Insane Druid to join our party once we had taken the Sword away from him. >- What is the best way to deal with the Chief Torturer and the > druid guard? We locked one or both of them up in shackles. >- How do you get the items (quarterstaff, potions, etc...) from the > sarcophagus of the Grand Druid? Can't remember. (Player over a year ago). Perhaps you don't. But I know that's wrong, I think. > >- How do you get to the lower levels?

Seems to me that you kinda "fall" into it. You probably just haven't gone the right way yet.

Is there such a thing as a complete book or list of all the things you can do in Quarterstaff? I've completed it, but I know I missed tons of stuff. I never found the secret room the Hint said was there, I found no use for a lot of the objects. My exploration just feels so incomplete, and I felt a let-down at the end. Can anyone offer any help with this? Jon
