Years ago i pushed a red mage to level 40 by repetetious battles.

This time around though was just a straight push to the end.
I got my 2 knights up to level 18 and my red mage ended up level 24.
Several characters are ready to level up but they can't because i'm in the Tower of Flame.

Finally there, could have won by now but been playing a day or two then a day or two off. I tell you, that draconian battle on level 3 of the tower is VERY HARD. I'm not cheating this time around but i have a boat load of goodies.

Only lvl 18? I remember the one time I played it, back when it was released. It was maybe on the Amiga? As I recall all my characters got to lvl 40 and I had no repetitive fighting at all. Because of this you have to only play human characters. All other races are totally useless as they just don't level more than a few pitiful levels.

Imo it's a must to start multiple characters as fighters and change class with them when they reach lvl 12 or 13. A lvl 13 fighter, lvl 13-40 mage is superb. Fighter 13/Priest13+ Fighter 13/Thief 13+ is also great. Another option is to level up a thief and switch him over to fighter in order to get a higher thaco as you increase your fighter level. Fighter attack skill, gauntlets of strenght if starting as thief, backstab...Fun!

I guess the problem people have with the difficulty is because they chose multiclass characters?! If not I don't understand the problem with difficulty. Surely people play on the hardest level? You get more exp that way. Loads more fun. Didn't manage the extra challenge after the game was won though. That was rather insane. (Also no cheating! It takes away all the challenge and without the challenge it's no fun. Well I did give myself veeery good stats and that might be called cheating.)

Dark Queen of Krynn must be one of the best games I've ever played if you disregard the crappy graphics(which weren't crappy back then). I guess Bard's Tale and Dungeon Master Strikes Back(or was it DM 2?) are the only ones that was as enjoyable. Why has DQK gotten so crappy reviews?

Are you sure you are not confusing DQoK with Pools of Darkness ?

The level caps are in the manual.

Someone may have corrected this already, but the level caps are actually in the Journal, not the Manual.

I used to play the Krynn games a long time ago and incidentally still have my saved games from some previous games.


Here's a rapidshare (also attached) of a save located at the Citadel (end game) for anyone that wants to farm the items or run through the game with a max party.

They were created in Champions and played through DKK as well so some of the items might not be available in DQK. No cheats other than maybe a few item dupes using character swapping. At the very least each character is using a different weapon (even though you can get 2 dragonlances at this point).

i cant make it work
i downloaded it, got dosbox and when i try to run it (typing black)
it says: 'general midi timres for yamaha opl-2 .............. copyright ....'
and nothing happens. what should i do?

Try disabling MPU-401 emulation in dosbox.conf.

Good to see this Dragonlance trilogy here, but is the earlier SSI trilogy around. Not sure of the names - I think Heroes of the Lance was one, and another may have been Dragons of Flame.

:nuts: I remember using my "theifing" skills to play this game :amused:
The whole feel of these SSI games were great! :cheesy:
Still can't figure out the page's an such for the words though. :wondering:

Anything Dragonlance related I love.. Actually, anything related to Weis and/or Hickman.. Right now I'm trying to get the complete Dragonlance series in paperback.. (190 books I believe)
