Easy money - Early in the game, go talk to the barrel
maker that is inside one of the Broch's. This is the Broch that is near
the middle of the town, but at the west end; his door is facing north (if
you were to be facing his door, you would be facing east). The name of the
place at the bottom of the screen when you walk in will read "Boyd's
Barrels", at the west side of Houton. After you talk to him, go back
outside. Go to the right side of his Broch and start destroying the
barrels next to his dwelling (that are under the awning). He will come out
and talk to you. Give him nice responses. He will give you the "Barrel
Maker - Break lots of Barrels" quest. After that, every time you see a
barrel, make sure you do whatever it takes to break it into tiny pieces.
Then, go into The Drunken Rat bar and smash all the barrels on the upper
floor. This is the floor you are on when you first walk in the front door.
There are eight barrels that you can smash with your fists or a sword, and
three behind the three singing drunks that you cannot destroy until you
have bought a bow at the store. This makes a total of eleven barrels.
Then, go down the stairs in the back room of the bar. You will find eleven
more barrels to smash. After all those barrels have been smashed, go out
the front door of the bar. Then, go back in and smash them all over again.
After smashing a large number of barrels (over 100) go to the man who gave
you the quest. He is standing next to the awning where you broke his
barrels. He will give you 500 Silver. By doing this, you can make as much
money as desired early in the game. Note: Try buying the Longbow to shoot
the three barrels behind the singing drunks.
Easy kills - After you kill the giant rat in the beginning of the game, go
through Houton village and find the puppy in the middle part of the
village. Respond nicely and the dog will follow you. As you journey on,
the dog will distract enemies, thus making easier kills.
Alternate storyline - If the puppy joins your party, it will change the
story somewhat. For example, when you face The Pet it will crush your dog,
killing it. Later when you run into the skull in the dungeon, it says that
someone from your past wants to see you again and it brings your undead
dog back into your party.
Final choice - In the final choice, if you have summons out you can ask
their advice, unless they do not talk (then the Bard just says "Right").
Cow tipping - While in Huton (the first level), you can go around and find
cows. Walk up next to the cow and press X. The Bard will push the cow
over, and as soon as you walk off screen the cow will be set up again.
Little Red Riding Hood reference - Sometimes when you kill a wolf, you
will get a red cloak or a picnic basket.
Star Wars reference - If you choose to be snarky to the elder after
defeating Silkbeard, he will say "May the queen of the Sith take you."
You Got Served references - The Knight summon occasionally says "Thou hast
been served". Additionally, in the basement of the Scotsman's castle, a
group of zombies will have a breakdance contest with a group of skeletons.
When the skeletons win, the head one says "You got served", to which the
Bard responds "What the hell?! |
