Well, today I conquered Wizardry, kind of. After many weekends filled with level grinding and graph paper I finally made the journey to defeat Werdna. I defeated his guardians with almost no trouble, I was unstoppable. I found Werdna's lair, opened the door and saw this message:
"The Monsters Surprised You"That was quickly followed by Vampires and Vampire Lords paralyzing and level draining me and Werdna wiping out most of the party with a Tiltowait spell. JS the Samurai, Link the Samurai, Yar the Cleric, Q*Bert the Thief, Pac-Man the Mage, and Edgar Martinez the Wizard had been destroyed in two rounds of battle. Seeing the party I had spent probably close to 30 hours creating about to die, I panicked and hit reset. I had not cheated in the game till that point, I had accepted all party wipes and made my own maps.
I will have my revenge when I play the PS1 remake. I don't care how long it takes, how many characters die, or how much time I spend, I will destroy Werdna!
