Walkthrough

1 – Ali Akbah

He’s a shopkeeper. If your barter rating is at least 40, you can ask for a discount (300 experience). If you barter rating is at least 95, you can ask for a second discount (600 experience). Each discount is worth about 5%. Akbah will always sell the Scorching Blade (1-6 slashing damage, 4-18 fire damage, +25% fire resistance).

You should also ask Akbah how business can be good in the middle of the desert, and then learn about the “bird men” (aka sand spirits) and the assassins.


2 – Sand Spirits

When you get close enough to the sand spirits, their leader Fazim will approach you. If your speech rating is at least 70 and your intelligence is at least 6, and if you talked to Ali Akbar (#1) about the bird men and the assassins, you can tell Fazim that killing assassins will make it rain (2000 experience, 2000 gold). Then if you lead any assassins to the sand spirits, the sand spirits will help you kill them. You can also kill the sand spirits for 848 experience each, but they’re some of the most difficult enemies in the game.


3 – Assassins
