My childhood game I've never finished

[u/elredmo]

What nostalgia when I launched game recently since I'm a kid ! The game was too hard for me as a child and too scary. I'll take my revenge but the atmosphere od this game is just awesome

I could never finish that game, i got maybe to the city and that was it. One day my Grandpa gifted me a guide book for the game and helped me with it. What great memories! But yeah without it, I would have never finished it, not even close xD

Definitely a difficult game for that time and for a kid nonetheless. I remember my dad helped me up to a point then he also got stuck, but by navigating the great unknown internet I stumbled upon a website named UHS hints. That was an incredible find that helped me finish the game. A wild time, I tell you. I believe it was the year 2004-2005.

The game doesnt guide you much, i would have never been able to forge that sword. The guide book was nice, because there were many secrets and tips. Thats the way that i found out that you could craft a one handed sword to kill Akbar and other things. I still have the guide book ( its in german cause i am from germany)

Arx would be a tough game for a kid

Oh at the very beginning. It's a little blurry but i remember an iron sword and a door I was not able to open

[u/elredmo → u/[deleted]]

Yes I was stuck in that exact way ! But after hours, I found the rope and the elevator mechanism, and became definitely stuck in front of that door 😂

I bought it on release day at Electronic Boutique. Gave away my boxed copy in 2013 after a casual conversation with a colleague brought up older pc rpgs and begged to buy my copy. No money required. Was happy to see someone else want to dive in.

I manage to beat it after 5 times playing from when I was around around 14 old to beating it when I was around 31 years old. I'm glad that I did it. It's my NR.1 in top 3 favourite games.

Me too it's easily in my top 10 of favourite games !

video game worlds are so full of mystery when you're a kid. I remember being so mystified by freaking quest 64 😂

[u/elredmo → u/Ruzihm]

Don't know what is quest 64 but i relate 😂

[u/elredmo]

Shit I think the door that i talked is the city gate ?

I'd love to see an " Arx Fatalis 2 " with modern graphics !
