I'm just starting chapter 13.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] krazeecracker:
Thread is full of spoilers :( lol I can't wait to get it though!
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] player911:
I bought the map from the shop in the first town. He retires afterwards and the area it unlocks whoops my butt. There is purple mist that kills your summons instantly so your pretty much alone. There are skeletons and zombies that won't die. I just left.

You get the upgraded rat during the Bodb/princess/trowl maze so it is pretty powerful.

I found there is a store room in Kirkwood with a ton of barrels. Break all them and go back to Houton to the barrel maker for easy $500 each trip. You can do a trip in a few minutes.... over and over for some serious cash.

There is also a wondering trowl on the over map wondering that sells maps to secret areas.

The hunter in Houton woods will open an area to the hunting grounds if you talk to him, kill a bird that your dog chases out, then talk to him again. The hunting grounds just has a few treasure chests and some idols.

I'm on the second floor of the tower. Level 8. Still hasn't given me an option to add more skills for dual wield.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] t_007_v2:
Finished the first tower pretty easy going up and fun going back down lol. I have like 7k in gold and since I can't really find a place to spend it I'll buy a treasure map. Mmmm zombies and skellz sound like a party I can't miss. The game seems to only let you pick a new talent every 2nd level up. I have that butt kicking rat little bugger can take down a 60hp wild bore with one strike. The old man you can conjure up that protects you from traps is pretty cool and useful. The game gave me another lady to conjure up but I don't know exactly what her purpose is yet. Off to buy a map and to meet some zombies... Later

what in the world is up with the town where the two wenches lead you to the ambush?? Like 20 town people all with bows... Nuts

EDIT: bought the treasure map and killed all the zombies and skellies (; I don't want to be a party crasher so all I will say is a tool that needs dexterity will do the trick.... 4 halls with 4 chests very cool dungeon.

nobody mentioned the vikings? their song (for me) is just hilarious.. 8)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] player911:
I leveled up several times in the tower and on the 3rd floor, I finally got my dual-wield. Really cool. I didn't get it before because I thought you wouldn't have a shield when dual-wielding but you do. So it's very handy to have. Using the upgraded electric summon, my healer witch and my new dual-wield, coming down the tower was a piece of cake.

I laughed hard once I beat the boss guy and the princess told him to put out the remaining towers, and he says, "speaking of putting out..." haha. This game is pretty great. Simple but challenging. Different combinations of summons really make or break outcomes.

The village with the 2 girls and all the guys shooting arrows at you, that is chapter 9. You are supposed to come back to it later, but you probably can hit it up early if you are cautious and take your time. Once you get through that part, you actually get to the town.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] t_007_v2:
bought 3 treasure maps so far and there not as profitable as one would think. imo the dungeons are fun and the experience makes up for the rest. been upgrading rhythm and it has made the rat and the electric spider absolutely deadly...

gotta say the water effects are superb in this game and hands down the best i have seen so far on android. running the game on the clemsyn kernel @ 1.8 with the 700gpu.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] player911:
I think rhythm is the most important because it "levels" up your summons in both power and health. I also have my strength leveled. Health isn't so important because of the healer summon. Money discounts aren't worth wasting the skill points on either at first.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Metallice:
Yep. Rhythm improves both their health and damage (like both strength and vitality) so it's by far the best/most efficient stat to level up, especially when you get 3+ summon slots.

I disagree on vitality. I find out to be very important. More so than strength. The crime just doesn't heal fast enough imo.

Charisma is worthless. Luck is meh too.

Also make sure to bring the upgraded explorer to the treasure map area by the first tower. He might just find a secret item and room for you ;)

Hello everyone...

I have few questions about this game : I played it till chapter 5, and erased all my data, including savedgames..

I'm playing on my transformer TF101. I know this is the Nexus 7 forum, but may be data are the same on this tablet...

Do you think it is possible to transfer a savedgames folder from nexus 7 to TF101 ? And if it's the case, could anyone playing around chapter 4 or 5, send me his last savedgame ? This would avoid me playing again all the beginning of the game, which is not as fun as the first time... Don't really want to spend another 7 hours doing something I have allready done...:p Thanks in advance, I love this game.

PS : sorry for mistakes, I'm french...
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] iamelton:
with the latest upgrade of android 4.1.2 and a "tiny" mistake i made, i lost my game save when i was in chapter 10 (?) at the undead viking village of stroms, and 20+ hours of game play..

though its really frustrating to lose my progress at this point, i consider this another chance to start over and pick up the missed game plays (such as rescueing at least one of the 3 prisons to see what will happen, instead of my previous murder of 3 all! :) )

besides, not everybody trains the bard in the same way and there may be different tracks of skills acquired, and so i think maybe starting over is not that bad actually..
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Gzaw:
You may be right.. In fact, I started again from the beginning, and reached chapter 4 that I just finished... And this permitted me to find the double hand sword i missed in my first attempt... So now, I'm going to retry reaching the third level of the tower, and in fact, the second time playing is much faster than the first one... Thanks anyway... :D
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] diomark:
While installing 4.12, I ran into issues - and ended up factory erasing my device:( Biggest pain point is that I lost my 10+ hours progress on bards's tale:(

Does anyone have a savegame they can share with me? I was past the chapter where you receive the fire helper for melting ice..

Would really appreciate it.. want to finish this game, but don't want to start over!

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] ExploreMN:
In the Appsales description it talks about in app purchases. Is this one of those games where you buy the app to play it and then have to buy more crap in the game to advance or co plate the game?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] t_007_v2:
No not at all. My bard is a level 17 without one iap. Honesty I don't know what you really need to purchase. Everything in game can be acquired just by enjoying and playing the game. Imo just don't be so fast progressing threw the story build your characters experience and bank up first. Battling the wolves and druids in free roam will give you plenty of experience and a fat purse.

Great games like the bard's tale need to be supported to show developers we will buy quality work. Just like gameloft crap needs to be avoided because of their lack of quality.

Cheers

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] mr_tris:
The top down view and graphics remind me of playing Baldurs Gate.

Very nice game.

Tip : Buy it off the Play Store not through Tegra Zone. That way you will save money at a bargain.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Rody2k6:
I am having a hard time, I want to be a ranger, but I keep getting my ass kicked, my Bard is so weak, and I do up his vitality. Do you guys have any tips for a ranger type, cuz I am having to resort to swords more and more.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] mr_tris:
Until you get to use the world map using long range isn't much cop to be honest. If you really want to then while adventuring keep an eye on the minimap until the red enemy spots appear then just line up your shot and you can shoot off screen with a pre-emptive strike.

Also use your dog/Summons to agro the enemy to increase your chance of picking them off from a distance.

Hope this helps.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Rody2k6:
I am in the world map, and do everything you say above, but still long range is very bad in this game. Don't even tell me about those boss fights, because then it is close to impossible.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] ÜBER™:
Just bought it and its a great looking game so far. :) 3.5GB is a lot of space but man does it look amazing. They just had an update recently that said it put in native gamepad support but i couldnt get it to work? :( whats up with that anybody else get it to work?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] mr_tris:
I've been using it with a wired 360 pad & a wireless PS3 pad no problem.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] ÜBER™:
Hmm.. i dont get it.. its not wanting to work for me. Did you do anything extra to get it to work i know the gamepad is working because i can play dead trigger and shadowgun with it but cant get bards tale to work with it. I tried changing to the "touch" option instead of joystick and when i try to use the gamepad it shoots bard to the left and he keeps running. :mad:

Edit: And of course after i complain about it.. it decides to work.. changed IME to sixaxis app and its working.. weird.. said to keep that off -_-.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] mr_tris:
Thats the puppy right there, you have to make sure the IME is set to six axis. I know what you mean cos every other game doesnt require it and detects it regardless of the set keyboard.

Glad your sorted anyway, its a top game. Would be good if something developed like this with some co-op/multiplayer.

Enjoy.:D
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] ÜBER™:
Definetly a nice game. I've been dying to find a good adventure type game. This should keep my spare time pretty full. :)

If I made a tant backup wouldn't it be 3.5g? First problem I have is there isn't enough room on my n7 to make a backup for the bard's tale. Second how would I get that huge file to you? That backup even zipped isn't going to be small. My bard is a level 16 and I have no problem sharing my game.

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] seakins:
Titanium doesn't save the 3.5gb downloaded data but only the game play. I have tested this. I did a backup of it to TB. Wiped my tablet to flash another rom, tried to reinstall the game through TB and it did open the game but i had to re-download the 3.5gb of data. When it finished downloading I continued to open the game and my save game was there.

Hope this helps.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] CJHolderUK:
You know you can go into TBT data folder and just copy the save file. It's a few kbs large. Forgot what it's called, I'll check for you after work.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] player911:
Yea cause I'd be interested in this too. I just finished the tower on chapter 6 or something. Something close would at least get me back in the game because right now I. don't have the urge to invest time getting back.

My N7 was stolen btw. So maybe I'll get a sympathy save.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Lw00d:
does this game support gamepad controls?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] ÜBER™:
Yep.. but in the sixaxis app make sure you change the IME to Six Axis otherwise it wont work.. which is funny because they specify to make sure that its NOT on Six Axis.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Lw00d:
ok thanks.

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Flanimal:
I completed the remake, and while I want to retain the original 1980s Bards Tale version on my smartphone, I don't want the cost of the 1.8Gb of space required for the game!

I emailed the developers and they say that for legal requirements, they can only distribute the originals with the modern version of the game, and not separately.

I'm disappointed about this as the bundled verions of the original were extremely slick, with an updated interface for the smartphone touchscreen, and with enhanced music and sound. It seems to me that the games are based on an emulated version, but I'm not sure which platform is being emulated. Perhaps Amiga, or Apple II? All in all I think this is probably the best implementation of BT1 ever, especially as there is no disk accessing delays.

I wonder if I can install the game (1.8Gb of it), delete the bulk of the files, and still play the original BT1 version? Can anyone help?

Titanium Backup has a limit on the max size of the data it will save for an app. Perhaps the game data exceeds the default limit. You can change it in the prefs.

OH, just thought you were new here lol. Look in dev for AIO tool, downgrading has been around for 6 months lol.

There is no India 3.2.(1) anymore, removed from Sony servers. Change region to US (WIFI ONLY). Then you can downgrade to 3.2(1). Then you could change back to India. Use AIO too custom update to Downgrade to 3.2.1 with root (to be safe) even though the US 3.2.1 online here is rootable with the old method.

Good luck

Downgrade to Honeycomb is VERY EASY

crack the ver num in prop files

then flash stock 3.2.1 rom by sd card

every thing will be done in 10 mins

but since you have not 3.2.1 rom of your regain,change regain is need

some good of 3.2.1

battery is more long life

more app and game

-I have not yet understood how to install HC that is with kernal 10 which is rootable. stifilz suggested to install with aio to get the root on HC but i don't really get the steps. Can you please elaborate how to install HC and get it rooted step by step?

-In ICS, there is patch in aio to make it enable "Use sd card 2 as USB storage ", is there something available like this in HC?

-I sometime get microphone issue on ICS, has somebody else face similar issue and on HC microphone work well?

Thanks again guys for your help :)
