  • Getting overpowered early in Might and Magic 7 by #glitch abuse and a simple game mechanic #exploit .
    Ever wondered #HowTo kill the red dragon on emerald island? It's not only possible with some helpful #magic spells, but it can also be very rewarding!
    MM7 For Blood and Honor is a #RPG for Windows published in 1999 by 3DO and developed by New World Computing, which was founded by Jon Van Caneghem. The 7th incarnation of the #mightandmagic series uses the same basic game engine as the 6th part and is therefore the 2nd game presented in a 3D world filled with 2D sprites. The solid gameplay of its predecessors was kept in place and polished even more. For Blood and Honor is a must-play for #gaming enthusiasts and fans of the #roleplaying genre!

    Default setup is well balanced for the whole game. Knight > Thief > Cleric > Sorcerer. Monks are exceptionally powerful later in the game though, you could literally solo everything with a Monk. I remember as a kid being so proud of killing that dragon in the cave. It's where I first learnt the kite mechanic that served me well in many other games. Listen to when the dragon fired, turn around and shoot your ranged abilities, then turn back and run. Repeat until dragon dies. Of course, it took abour 15 minutes to kill it, but it was worth it!

    the body of the dragon DOES not disappear when leaving the cave. You can go to the blacksmith and sell anything you don't want and then go back to looting the dragon's corpse again and again

    Later in the game you can become ridiculously overpowered. The secret is the well at Lannister's house in the land of giants. You want to have Grandmaster body Magic before you start drinking from their. You'll be subjected to random effects such as, turn to stone, death or even eradication. You can also get, extra xp, gold and skill points. Just make sure do you have Grandmaster protection from Magic on when you drink from there.

    You can walk right over to stone city, save in front of the magic shop till you buy 3 invis scrolls and a jump scroll (shop resets every few weeks if you can't get more than 1 to spawn in the shop). go into nighton tunnels, jump over the ledge near the stone city entrance and invis scroll in the cleared room full of friendly warlocks, make your way to nighton and get either a wind master or walk to the entrance in the west (near the mana restore well). then invis scroll past eofol tunnels, you will need to save a lot to walk past the behemoths but medusas are super easy to walk past. while in the eofol tunnels you should move to the top left corner to reinvis (it's before the infamous ledge jump). Once you hit eofol/land of giants you get an early blaster (you can't use it till way later) and access to the most OP well of all, the eofol wishing well. Simply right click over your portrait and spam your action key (space by default) this gives infinite gold and infinite skill points and you can do this level 1.

    So way back when, like 2001 I got that game and a cloth map from Goodwill.
    So before I wad able to really use the internet freely due to it not being in my part if the town yet, I figured the dragon thing out.
    I come back once a year to kill it, I swear. First time down a lot of saves, didn't know about the quick save thing yet, but bows and paused saves reloaded over and over I felt like I was a hacker man, and I made the game make its dragon give me ALL the artifacts.
    The club of stupidity is still my favorite because it blew my mind when I got it back when I was a kid.

    Hi it is basically the same principle for The Titans' Stronghold. You run round and round, avoiding projectiles and you can kill all of them. Quite long work, but rewards are worthy and with that stuff early in the game you can benefit the equipment.
    Another glitch comes from the Mercenary Guild, you can kill the guards even the strongest luring them on the other side of the wall. Just press continously A for attack keeping the distance thanks to the wall and you will defeat all of them. Only thing you have to pay attention to AI when they try to flee because they move in a place you cannot reach.

    I am a huge fan of MM6 and know all the glitches there and I know that the 1 hp bug is only available on the original first version of the game.
    Now I just bought the MM7 and i am a complete noob on that game. Are your great explanations working on a "red fly" copy of the game? Or do I need a special version as well?

      there's only a small chance that it doesn't disappear when looted. You need to save the game when it doesn't disappear and keep reloading when it does.

    Interesting! Didn't know this dragon is vulnerable to fire damage. Always did this boss with all buffs (except Haste pedestal) and it'd take 15-20min.

      In my opinion MM7 is grey you have a lot of grey MM6 was colorfull and also longer. I think the problem was the one year for the development because of 3DO. A lot of things are there like the manticore (that exists in the arena) the cyclops. A lot of things that we see on the map. The music and story idea are good but they couldn't execute the story because they hadn't enough time. Overall MM7 could have been the better MM6 but the development time was way to short.

    There is a map of Erathia, Every single Detail (beside there are no cyclopse in this Game)... there is a big „castle“ in the South of the map (orange colour)
    - what place is it in the Game?
    - and, i played this Game many times but Never see manticores as enemies, even rumors said there Exist?
    Sorry for this „wired“ question, but i have to know :)

    • @dragonflyerstern156
      @dragonflyerstern156 2 года назад +2

      The castle could be the School of Sorcery. I mean they say Spyre, so it could be a random spyre. The manticore exists in the arena but they don't appear anywhere else. I think they wanted to include more stuff in the game but i got rushed because of 3DO so a lot of things are missing. I mean there are also no devils in Barrow Downs or cyclops because we have titans.

    might and magic always has some super broken early game strategy. in 3, 4, and 5 it was mirror codes. in 6 it was the secret teleport on the roof of one of the guilds that teleports you to a secret area. im sure 8 has one too but idk what it is.
