hello,

i keep hearing news about entombed saying that its now free and bla.

if jason  made it free, how are we going to register a free account?

2018-07-18 22:58:55

Create a new account. Log in. Choose "Upgrade to Full Version" from the main menu. And that should be it. Whether you require a specific version of Entombed for this to work is not known.

I have version 1.2j and try to create account and nothing happened

2018-07-19 18:51:41

So it asks me do I want to open a web page to pay some people can create account from what i hear some not.

2018-07-19 20:29:43

I seem to have gotten it accidentally that way.

2018-07-21 04:34:35

Ha, lucky...

2018-07-21 19:51:43

Hmm, I'd say at least half the jobs and character classes can defeat the goblin king, I never had such problems with it.

2018-07-21 22:11:19

The order in which you take out the enemies is pretty important, plus which skills you've focused on. Also, the bizarre can help, and so can the "BOTTOMSUP" cheat if your really stuck.
You can use potions and scrolls to a good effect as well by having your weaker characters use them on the most dangerous enemies.
It's true that like 3 or 4 job combinations are generally the most effective in the game, but you can also do quite a bit with single jobs, and with help from the bizarre early on or simply a lucky break in the form of some really good armor or a really good weapon spawning on a low level can give you a big boost.
That said, their are fights in the game that end up being nearly impossible, like some of the quest ones, but when that happens, I just take it as a hint to restart with a new party because this one clearly wasn't up to snuff.
Those quest groups can be insanely strong and unfair for your level no matter how well prepared you are, which sucks, and if you refuse a quest it messes quests up later, plus the danger warnings from the tavern are often wildly inaccurate, but only the drake and the final boss are really a big issue if you know what your doing, and both have tricks that can help allot.
It's overall a pretty harsh game it's true, but their are allot of things to help you as well, and I've still seen far worse.

2018-07-21 22:43:20

....Exactly, what kind of race/class combinations were you trying where you couldn't get passed the first dungeon split bosses?  And honestly, one really doesn't get the eventual level buffs to your stats based on classes at that point, so usually you're just ramming it with whatever skills you trained up.

     Also you say crap, but that's literally the design philosophy for most rpg rogue-likes.  Nothing is stopping you from doing something like fighter mage, but you should not be complaining when that character struggles due to a lack of any synergy, or the class related buffs to stats on certain levels.  There's a reason why the less synergy your characters have, the more points you get at the end of the game.  You went through it with a setup that'll make the game harder.  However, if you kind of find armors that massively boost your stats to stupid levels from the trade store, you can pull off a non-synergetic build fairly well as you'll have the stats for it.  But if you willingly choose setups that make it harder, and by the mechanics of the game know this will be hard, you honestly should not be complaining.  You should play with more suitable builds until you either get a lot better with the game and knowing what to skill up first in a non-synergetic build, or just save up trade coins.

    Also certain builds despite being powerful, are hard to play, especially at the start.  As horrifying as a maxed out ranger assassin can be, getting there sucks.  And starting out with ranger is always a pain on finding a decent bow and decent arrows to fire.  Also without high swiftness, unless your hide+multishot whipes out a majority or all opponents in one volley, you'll have a useless teammate unable to help for like 8 turns.  And there are fights where this can happen, like the hall of mirrors boss.  Also due to the eventual horrifying lag on anything using multi-shot, the only optimal way of using it is with the assassin stuff to insure that high lag skill kills a few things.

     Classes who can survive on their own tend to mostly be the magic classes, especially necromancer and druid.  Mage is honestly too weak unless you get high intelligence to make firebolt do anything, and best used to backup brawlers for their grapple/headbutt combos via shrink/grow.  Trickster is also a fun one to cause some chaos with stuff like charm and polymorph  (transforming a dangerous corpseweb into a naked elf anyone?) 

    Though I mean, if you do something like mage fighter, forgetting that class only gets like 1 skill point to use fighter stuff, and no weapon skills, I'm not sure how to help you there.  Even though I tried weird combos to see if I could get through the game, I wouldn't do something that unsynergetic. 



    Also, for max silliness on a playthrough, make someone be a wanderer, especially a monk and observe subdivide. Further add combine to create your very own abomination.  Get the abomination killed and survive the fight while everyone is at critical hp, and have a necromancer or a summon skeleton scroll to have your very own pet abomination.  Be cheeky and do this process again with either a second necro, or getting rid of the old weaker abomination, and summon an even stronger abomination.  However, there are a few bugs with a player utilizing combine...such as aoe attacks that hit and kill you in abomination form essentially infinitely striking everyone until you are all dead.  Or even funnier, the infinite whirlwind (that poor helplessly spinning troll).

God the finding a bow thing sucks ass.

LOL Orco, your such a cranky, indignant old man sometimes...
Get off my lawn ya whippersnappers! didn't your mama ever teach you to respect your elders boy? And young lady what are you doing looking like some kind of, of harlot off to find some disreputable gentleman to do who knows what with! Oh lord deliver these children from their mortal sins... You know, in my day...
Stop taking things so seriously will you? No one is out to get you, and maybe you should eat some humble pie your self and admit when you've clearly done something wrong. If so many people passed this and you didn't than blaming the game is just the cowards way out anyway.

2018-07-22 08:41:48

Um... wow.
That was quite the response to a well thought-out post.  Nobody was bashing anybody else, he was simply sharing examples of combinations that are not synergistic and nearly impossible to work with.
That being said, I can also say that I've never had any difficult killing the goblin king with combinations I've tried.  One of my favorites that can be fun for a while is faerie trickster.  Faeries are glass cannons so you basically have to hide and have your pet tank for you until you manage to find party members that are more powerful.  I like that particular starting character because you're not like 10 times more powerful than all of your opponents and are actually pretty evenly matched for a while.  Obviously, you eventually do reach the point where opponents can oneshot you, but if you do manage to survive, your mental stats will be off the charts and if you took mage as a class, your firebolts will be amazing.
Spiraling Wyvern listed a few powerful classes that work well on their own, but I feel I need to add bard to that list.  The first time I ever beat the game was only because I had a bard in my party.  All four of their songs are amazingly useful, and soothing song complements thieves/assassins extremely well, since their sneak attacks will do massive amounts of damage while their targets are asleep.  Not to mention, I'm pretty sure critical hits and assassination hits are more likely if the target is asleep.
Anyway, there are tons of different combinations that will allow you to win the game, and we've all listed a few.
This thread is making me want to pick up Entombed again.
Has anybody managed to beat a game in Hard Mode without it breaking horribly?  I'm tempted to give it a try, now that I'm thinking about it.

I'm probably gonna get banned for this, but...

2018-07-22 15:32:17

So I have a few questions. I have played around with an assassin Munk char. First is the assassinate skill a passive one? I mean in the list of choices I have when fighting I don't see  an assassinate option to click on, so is it active when I just fight or is it active when I choose the hide technique? and then fight my next time around? Also with the focus and break limbs skill which would you guys recomend raising so I have more oppertunities to break limbs durring a fight?

@WP85: Yes, assassinate is a passive skill.  The higher it is, the more likely it is to trigger.  I am not really familiar with the monk class, so don't really know.  Yes, you can play the game without an internet connection.

@flame_elchemist:  No.  The game is not free.  I'm not sure what all the patch adds, or breaks, but I usually install it anyway.
@Karlitos:  Your save file is in your documents folder under a folder called saved games.

I'm probably gonna get banned for this, but...

Assassinate has a good chance to multiply your damage if the opponent is immobilized, such as by grapple, web, sleep or paralyze.

I like to sleep, Sleep is good,
This is how I do it: Lie on a nice warm cozy bed, and dream dreams about how to rule the world!

to get version of  Entombed to work don't install the updater or the redistributibles extract the SQL server when the game asks you to the Entombed folder and install both 32 and 64 ones.
