Ambrosia Software Web Board: Cythera - Help please - Ambrosia Software Web Board

Well I finally registered

Now a few questions about cythera. (By the way I posted with a username of "cythera man" for a while because I hadn't received my reg. code yet)

1) What good does cloth do

2) How do you usually beat daemons? (SP?)

3) Do you HAVE to register to beat the game?

and 4) (which has absoloutly nothing to do with cythera, and is probably a very stupid question,) How do you make links?

(Welcome to the Cythera Webboard )

1) Nothing beyond the ordinary, it just sits there...atleast, I think I've tried everything.

2) I don't have any problem with daemons, once you get to a certain point they're as easy as ruffians. Some tips, though:
A) Use the spell "death strike" right at the beginning of the fight. This thing does a -lot- of damage as a melee attack. You start the game with 1 scroll, and you can learn the spell as a fifth (right?) hall spell in Pynx.
Daemons have resist magic and resist non-magic weapons. The best of two worlds are magic weapons. Always use a weapon that is atleast "sharp", as it's almost imposible to be productive with normal weapons.
C) Take them on one at a time. This might seem really obvious, but I've lost to two daemons and when I went back and was less cocky I won without taking any damage.

3) Yes. And although you can get pretty far without, most of the good side-stories you have to be registered for.

Well,%20three%20tries%20and%20you%20screwed%20up%20slightly%20in%20each%20of%20them.%20%20In%20the%20first%20one%20-%20it%20would%20have%20worked%20without%20the%20'/%5dtest'%20(yes,%20you%20can%20put%20%5burl%5d%20tags%20around%20actual%20links%20and%20it%20fills%20in%20the%20other%20stuff%20automatically)%20and%20with%20a%20'/'%20before%20the%20second%20%5burl%5d

Well, three tries and you screwed up slightly in each of them. In the first one - it would have worked without the '/]test' (yes, you can put [url] tags around actual links and it fills in the other stuff automatically) and with a '/' before the second [url]

The second time you have an extra l in the '/urll'

The third time you put () around the website, which doesn't work, because there is no such place as [url=http://"http://(www.google.com)]http://(www.google.com)

------------------
"I hate that! Your answers are always short, precise, and utterly useless!"
"Yes."

As an interesting sidenote, if you put the full URL in the message it seems to do that automatically - even without URL tags. (at least I didn't use them around the links in these two messages)
[url="http://"http://www.ambrosiasw.com/games/cythera"]http://www.ambrosias...m/games/cythera[/url]

"I hate that! Your answers are always short, precise, and utterly useless!"
"Yes."

Ok, I'll try it one more time.

wow! my link actually works! I'm going to make one more, just for practice.

Yes, which is how I stumbled on this by myself to begin with. Using this method makes it look unseemly though

If it's tourist season, why can't we shoot them?
