Sorcerer prologue guild to extraordinary achievement, a synergistic approach.
Go to grave yard after Beast quest, during time freeze, you reincarnate there, at full health so if you die it means nothing, except you don't get to loot.
There will always be an undead on each screen in this area for our use. As opposed to other places where monster spawn is random.
You should have your one spell from prospero, the fire spell that dose not work on undead. This is to our advantage.
The first thing is magic and blocking, blocking can let you end a fight at full health, and allow you to level your magic as long as you like on one undead.
First, engage undead, and use hacking to try to kill, and keep trying to block your heath up, don't waste any potions here.
At first you will fail, and die but you will come back instantly at full health same spot so don't worry...eventually you will get your blocking to 100 enough to take yourself to full heath and your hacking up enough to kill stuff.
OK that done, kill enough to buy the bracers of speed from prospero, no point trying to level magic without them, your faster so you can cast more often, even though he told you to go to inn hes still open and will sell you shite.
So, get them, and go back to bone yard,
leave town, hook left, keep going up to fountain, and keep going up.
Keep casting your fire spell on undead, it wont hurt them and you should now be able to block yourself up to full health, raise your magic 5 points on each undead...then kill it via hacking till hacking 100, and magic 100.
Then, you have stabbing and slashing and there is a special trick here:
listen closely. It is not just that stabbing only dose 1 damage against undead, there is a special slashing trick with leveling stabbing.
Stabbing only takes 1 point but slashing takes many, so stab till you get down to 1 point, then slash...if you do it this way by the time you level stabbing to 100 you should have a head start on slashing.
Having looted everything, when your stabbing is 100, go back to blacksmith and buy chain mail. this will reduce damage and slightly cut the amount of time you spend blocking your health up.
Go back to boot hill.
NOTICE I DID NOT SAY UPGRADE YOUR SWORD NOW.
You could but a sword that hits for less, a training sword is to your advantage now. You should now finishing maxing your slashing past 50 to 100.
Now you should have kick ass sorcery, max, magic, and max sword skill. You should also have at least 1100 bly. If not, kill till you do. Go back, and upgrade your sword twice at prospero. You should not have used any of the healing potions you looted.
You should now have max stats except for stealth and climbing, bracers of speed, a great sword and chain mail...not to mention enough healing potions to finish the game, and maybe enough left over to by the ceremonial dagger, for use the next day.
*It gos almost but not exactly, without saying to make sure you
at least have the amount of cash you began the game with, when starting act one...when the general goods merchant will be open.*
Now, sneak around town and quickly raise stealth to 50.
OK, now for climbing, you could use the tree outside town but, I don't recommend it. Instead head up to fountain screen and hook right, through the arch, keep going right till you hit upper waterfall screen. Turn run on, and spam click the tree till climbing is 100, relatively speaking this dose not take long.
Note: make sure speed is max in settings, for climbing because of the climbing animation length.
All this done, go back to the town and the inn, talk to kessel, and get a room for the night having got the most of the prologue and, now you can begin the game proper.
*As a special note, this prologue guide only works with 1.1 version of the game.*I have both versions installed because each as there charms, incidentally.
Also please save your game often using this method....its not really that easy to grind all these stats requiring much repetitive actions, and if the game bugs for whatever reason or your computer restarts you have lost your work. You might want to also do what I did and save in 3 separate slots, like Magicman1, 2 and 3....to safeguard against a corrupted save.
In closing, I never subscribed to the theory of giving things in a game when the game is almost over...using the prologue method, insures that there is plenty of game left top enjoy your characters hard won skills more fully.
You still had to earn them of course, so its not really cheating as I see it. In addition the time freeze is intentional and not a bug so its also no exploit, if you happen to care about such things...in keeping with the spirit of fair play and adventure, that is.
