My collected strategies for most encounters/dungeons.
You should no longer have difficulties beating the game if you follow this.
Should work with all character classes, just have 1-2 healers (or casters with healing spells).
((Underlined Stuff should be a priority))

some mobs use confuse and burning, but no one uses it in AoE, and the burning only hits your front guy. The boss does AoE bleed, which isn't a big deal either -- (thanks to rpgarcher)

Bossloot: ...
Mentionable (lootwise) Pre-Dungeon-Encounters
Flying Tentacle Guy - Loot: Infesting Whip (hits 1-3)

Hand reaching out of ground - Loot: Necromancer's Hand (Spell all)

Strange staring Guy - easy with lots of protection (especially stun/confuse/curse) - Loot: something good but i forgot ^^

Pre Dungeon encounter loot green pipe, Reach in and could get Sword of Shrooms, or be attacked by mushrooms. -- (thanks to Exxor: Killer Drake)

Death himself - use the Tazer (Stun him) - loot: Deadly Scythe -- (thanks to zzache)

The drop from the Old Volcano boss is a crossbow called "Scream of the Phoenix." It has a range of 1-2, 100% burn chance, is magical, and is based on 10% strength + 75% dexterity + 25% magic + (a base amount, might depend on player level, mine says 10).

OK, done. Thanks :)

Thank you for the guide. I've spent hours over the past week enjoying this game, constantly referring to your guide via the Steam overlay. I have a few suggestions though:

Randoom Meteorite: I would underline fire/burning for "Weapons" as all enemies are vulnerable to it. I would also underline burning and infested for "Protection" (though infested is mainly for the boss).

Gates of Ashtur: I would underline confused and burning for "Protection." You could add curse under this category too, but it isn't vital (hence no need to underline).

thanks for the guide, really helpful. I wanted to add:
in Gates of Ashtur, some mobs use confuse and burning (which are both bad), but no one uses it in AoE, and the burning only hits your front guy. The boss does AoE bleed, which isn't a big deal either

Death drops "Deadly Scythe." It's pretty great. :8bitheart:
