2.0 out of 5 stars Weak, August 5, 1999

By	Jason M "Jason" (USA) - See all my reviews

Of all of the strategy guides I have read, Prima's Offical Strategy Guide for Return To Krondor is the least helpful strategy guide I have ever read. The walkthrough covers a SMALL portion of the book and is vague in a lot of areas. I found quite a few stuff that was not in the walkthrough at all. For example it doesn't tell you what the code for the tomb in chapter 9 is (Feist; code letters found on one of the statues in the same chapter). Another thing it doesn't cover is what tools to use to disarm the traps; they make you guess yourself. The list for the tools to use to disarm each trap can be found on the net. The strategy guide is good in telling you what ingredients to use to make potions (in case you want to do an experimentation if you don't have a recipe for the potion you want to make).Some strategies it suggests, I have found much better ones. And there aren't any good maps in there; only a vague map for chapter 5. I wish Sierra would make hint books again instead of having Prima doing the hintbooks for them.

3.0 out of 5 stars good overall guide -- needs help!, January 9, 2000

By	chad cadieux (chambersburg, pa) - See all my reviews

If you have read the other review then I will echo it. The book is very narrow with details. There are no maps and the pictures that could act as maps are very dark are not helpful. the book gives you one way to do something but there are many better ways. It tells you exactly what you need to do and that is it, you can run around alot and find many more items and events. It could give you better advice like don't collect money it isn't a big issue, I had over 60,000 when the game ended! The first game had many side quests whereas this one has only 2! The caracter view is very limited and is very hard to see what is going on at times. The first game had a much better hint guide, but then again it was written by serria not prima!
