I am exploring now the forest to find Rattkin Ruins.
Yet I do not find these ruins:
- I start from Nyctalinth town. I leave the town heading East. Follow the road i reach juncture. I continue to go to East. Following the road soon i reach a point where the road off and transfers to earth. Exploring this area i find town walls but trying to enter this village, town i meet forest which stop me saying Maybe there is another way.
OK. I decide to go around and around but no free entrance!
I duno these Ruins. Never seen before. What are they like?
...
If You leave Nyctalinth town You may see small group of 2 ladies and 4 men - all warriors, trying to find their way.
It is my command, desperated..
They beg for Yr help.

There should have been a series of battles, near that talking forest entrance to Rattkin ruins, with different kinds of tree-men. After those battles are over (they can be quite hard for a 6 person party), there's a patch of dirt in the center of the ruins there where you should plant a Bonzai Tree (which you should have got back in Orkogre Castle) and when asked, type in a name of one of your party members.
After that you can tell the talking entrance at another spot this same name and enter the Rattking Ruins.

Ax, very secret procedure indeed.

OFF
Master, what do You think about SS2 except the opinion that it has very horror images, pls?

[yoga]

Done.

For first time i am under attacks of large groups of opps - total about 20 - 22 opps.

[Scatty]

Oh yes, Rattkin encounters are usually numerous. Pesky little buggers

Well, to be honest I like the first System Shock more, it's less annoying than SS2 with its endless respawn of enemies. RPG elements in SS2 are fun but appear to me also not so well thought out. PSI powers are often pretty much useless for practical application, and the insanely fast weapon quality degradation (and breakage) together with endless spawns of enemies is quite bothersome, though it becomes more fun after few adjustments (since patch 2.3) which can reduce the last two issues. Compared to first System Shock which had great graphics for the time when it came out, the blocky low-polygon graphics in System Shock 2 are (for coming out in 1999) a bit ugly.
But it is still a fun game nevertheless. I'm already somewhere close to halfway through the game.

My Valkirie BRAVE was badly wounded.
The pic of illness is head in white green color. Pls see encl. attachment.

I may use the next options:
- Cure Poison
- Gure Paralyze
- Cure Lesser cond.
+
Cure Stone

I used all above mentioned currative stuff.
No result.
New illness added - Blind.

I used Cure Poison about 15 times.
I moved as Dear Kmonster directed me in W 6.
No result at all.
- Who cares, yoga?
--No,no, amigo i am unable to use my magic points for spell Identify. They are constant - 33 only!! Really there are 86.

S O S

[Scatty]

That condition with the light-green face is Nausea. You can cure it with the spell Cure Lesser Condition. Now, as enemies that can put that condition on you can be higher level than your character(s), that condition might be of stronger effect than one spell can heal. So if you can't heal it with one spell on full power, cast the same spell again and again until the condition is removed. Or you can simply rest and it should go away.
However, as you say you also got Blindness after some time, you might be also diseased. And nauseated, in which case you can see only the icon for Nausea but not for Disease condition (Disease condition icon is sometimes hidden under Nausea if you have both). Same procedure here, however heal Nausea first to see if there's some other condition, too.

Спасибо!
ОК
Danke sehr.

I am in Rattkin Ruins and main opps are Rattkin monsters.

[yoga]

Yes, crazy at all.
New illness added to my poor BRAVE:
Some light-red head image. Or total-
1.Nausea
2.Blindness
3. The new one.

-Why cares, yoga?
-- No, no, amigos i have already tons of undefined keys, wands, cloak, potions etc. My bags are almost full!
My only hope is to reach soon mew level for another member and have this spell Identify.
True?
Dear Master and Kmonster, i did and do all healing procedure again and again.
No results.
Ratts!
The Nausea is no illness at all. It passed 1-2 hours after the ocean storm stops. Yes, i am ex-ocean sailor and know what is Nausea.
My old captain never complained from Nausea.
This one starts when our balance point is out of order because strong storm. When the seeman reachs steady land no more Nausea, or the ship leaves the storm zone.
Believe me.
These game creators are land mices.
Phy!!

Ready and before Funhouse.
