Does it make sense to anyone that a person who doesn't know EVERYTHING there is to know about a game would write a GUIDE for it? The guy who wrote this is missing crucial information key to any gameplay (especially special weapons such as the Bitter Touch, Mournbringer, and Lastat's Blade - two of which I found myself, without help) and I found that enemies he says to use Invulnerable/Invisible Potions on, I had the opposite experience, and vice versa. AND he has crappy strategies that will get you killed over and over. He suggests just circling an enemy over and over. I suggest using the Fear Spell on Wartoks, Grull, and Half-Men, 'cause they'll be dead scared of you. Makes fighting them pretty easy, as long as you remember to recast. And use Time Slow against later enemies such as the Corpse Soldiers and Djinn, so you don't take as much damage. I don't think the man who wrote this had any clue WHAT he was writing about, and I think I could make a much better guide than him. Pretty much, so could any Drakan lover with a brain. I'm glad that I bought it, for Collection purposes, but the guide told me nothing I didn't already know, and quite a bit that I did know wasn't in the guide. So, buy it if you want. But I'd say you'd be better off feeling your way through the game yourself.
