Champions of Norrath: Return to Arms Hints II (PS2)

Champions of Norrath: Return to Arms is a video game created by Snowblind Studios and published by Sony Online Entertainment. It was only developed for the PlayStation 2 gaming console from Sony and published in 2005. The game is classed as an action title with a dark medieval theme that sought to introduce some light role playing game elements and. It is played from a third person perspective.

The game is a direct prequel of Lands of Everquest and the action is set in the EverQuest universe. There is an evil power Innoruuk which is planning to take over the entire world by gaining access to all the Planes of Power so as to ascend to ultimate power. The quest that the player undertakes is to confront this giant evil. Most reviewers stated that the story of the game was rather weak, with forgettable characters and uninterested levels.

The level up elements and the weapon selection in the game are well done and there are varied enemies that require varied tactics in order to be taken down. The combat in the game might be its strong suit but the spell based combat is also very well implemented.

The game has spawned a successful sequel and the developers are suggesting that every player completes the game so that they can import their character in Realms of Everquest.

GAMEPLAY HINTS

Easy arena levels

You must have a Shadow Knight with Raise Army. When playing the arena in single or co-op mode, in round two of every board once your score appears cast Raise Army. You must have characters alive when you move onto the next round. When the third round comes up, every enemy will die. This is helpful because the third round is always the most difficult. This trick works on the second round as well, but it is better to save it for the third round.

Defeating Cyclops

In order to find Kerriel's conch, you must fight and kill three Cyclops. The easiest way to do this is to run in circles, occasionally slowing slightly and going past them so that they take a swing, but stay out of range. Then, fling exploding potions, or bash/slash with your best weapon. Then, back off and keep running, or he will fart and poison you, or hit you with his club.
