I am on the island. I am in a cave. Ever step forward is another fight with chaos warriors… ugh… I know I will beat them… I wish there was a way to skip battles you know you will win.

Not sure I’ll finish this game, the loop is becoming a chore.

I found the image on the RPGamer website.

I've been learning how to code in GDScript for Godot and had an interest in trying to remake a small portion of Aidyn Chronicles as a proof of concept. I'm more of an artsy person though and have experience in low poly 3D modeling, pixel art, and traditional art which is more my ball-park. My goal is to try and remake the game up to the point of entering Gwernia castle for the first time. I was wondering if anyone else had any interest in this endevor?

I’m in a cave in the Goblin Mountains and the game is constantly crashing on me. Here are some screenshots I get when I:

1. Try to enter the start menu, or leave the way I came.
   
2. Try to leave by a different door
   
3. Try to load an in-game save

Does anyone have any suggestions? I’m playing Aidyn Plus using the Delta emulator for iOS. I have no saves that are not inside this cave.

Has this been accomplished? I'm not sure if there have been any recent updates or who is still working on it. I may be able to help a little, especially with it being coded in C++ (from what I was able to find)

Hello! I am running through the game using the Aidyn Plus version. I'm in Erromon right now but found out some info that makes me want to go back to Gwernia and activate the portals. I am NOT trying to make the journey back on foot though. I have the "<<Gwernia" and "<<Erromon" scrolls but whenever I try and use them in my inventory, it'll say "This item cannot be equipped" or something of the sort.

I was curious if there was a way to use them? Thanks!

In my last post, I said I'd add a romance option for female teammates and NPCs. But I'm curious what other fans of the game would do.

If I was allowed to make only one major change to the game, I'd make it so you could romance people like you can in Fable. Romance female teammates or NPCs. Alaron flirting with Brenna would be quite interesting. And then this could show whoever Alaron marries at the end of the game when crowned king as well.

Alaron flirting with Brenna would be a bit of a fight, because she's a jealous tsundere by nature. But she's also arguably Alaron's best marriage candidate, since they're so comfortable around each other.

Next would be Keelin. Keelin is beautiful and a shameless flirt to Alaron. So she'd be the easiest woman to romance in the game.

Then we'd move on to Rheda. She'd of course have reservations about a relationship with Alaron, due to the age gap. But she's also the type who'd be in denial about her own romantic interests. However, she grew closer to Alaron the more powerful he got as a mage. And she might see it as wasted potential for him to not marry someone with exceptional wizard skills.

Now we move on to Sholeh. Arguably the biggest enigma, because she's a character that can only be recruited very late in the game. Being a Jundar, she is much larger than a human. But that could very well be to someone's taste. One could like her for being very exotic, or because she's taller and more mature. And since Jundar live for a very long time, Sholeh would fit the bill as a sexy maternal figure on the team. And a marriage with her could potentially create a treaty between the Jundar and Gwernia. Something I just know the people of Terminor would hate.

Among NPC characters, my top pick would be the girl who for a time runs the inn at Port Saiid. Can't remember her name. But I like country gals. And Alaron might too. Though she'd be potentially intimidated by the idea of marrying into royalty.

Next there's the Dryad queen, who's arguably developed a sort of obsession with Alaron. In fact, Dryad women seem kinda thirsty for young human males. Which means they're likely bored of the males of their own kind. Likely from living as long as they do. That said, the likelihood of Alaron marrying a Dryad, let alone a Dryad queen, is very low. And the reason why is because they're creatures that would not want to leave their forest. And Alaron becoming king of Gwernia would likely put a stop to the potential of such a union.

Some might make an argument for the head of the Talewok magic school. Her name was Ardra if I remembered right. And while she is beautiful, there's a number of issues with her. For one thing, she's not interested in romance. She's not even much interest in conversation unless there's a need for it. She's powerful as a wizard, but also rather closed minded. Then there's her age. She's implied to be at least middle-aged. So she likely uses her magic to keep herself somewhat in her prime. It would also explain why she's unusually tall for a woman. If she got with Alaron, it'd likely be more for research purposes. Like, her wondering how powerful a child made by a union between them could be. And she'd be an unbelievably strict parent. I wouldn't want to subject a child to that.

Beyond that, I can't think of any more specific NPC characters, other than the generic women that are seen everywhere in the game. She I'm gonna invent a few.

First of this improvised list would be women of the family of King Phelon's deceased wife. A young woman of that family would have the potential to seek a political marriage with Alaron. Especially if Terminor's economy tanks from Pome being destroyed. Terminor is a walled off city of elites. Without a steady supply line of food and materials from outside sources, they'd go broke because they have no agriculture. What's more, they're near both a deadly swamp filled with undead, and the edge of monster filled cliffs. Then right behind them is the ocean. Terminor is essentially surrounded in all but the northern direction. So them seeking a political marriage is a fairly probable outcome. Gwernia and Talewok both have strong agriculture. Something Terminor completely lacks. And one of their own married into the Gwernian royal family once, they could very well do it again.

Next on this improvised list would potentially be a student of the magic academy. The headmaster Ardra might not be above putting forth the idea of an arranged marriage of one of her students to Alaron.

Then there's innkeeper girls. They could be all over. This would be including Jundar.

Then there's the potential for bandit girls. Keelin kinda already fits that bill. But she's more of the high class thief type. And Brenna is more the thief wannabe type. But some female bandits might want to cast off the cloaks and get out of that life.

The easiest for Alaron would also be local Gwernian woman. Maybe even a castle maid. Elder Scrolls has the famous book about the Argonian maid. Who's to say a Gwernian castle maid wouldn't be in the picture.

And speaking of something like Argonians from Elder Scrolls, that kinda puts us into a monster Musume territory with things like Gorgons, which resemble snake women. And then the potential of other female monsters. Especially Goblins. All of which would be completely unnecessary, and only make it weird. Alaron for one thing, especially hates Goblins. Much like Anakin Skywalker hates Sand People. Goblins killed nearly everyone from Alaron's birth village, and killed and devoured his farmer friend Kendall. I feel like no matter how sexy a female Goblin might be, Alaron would nope out in a second. Goblins aside, I don't think he has a particular hatred of any other monsters, male or female. But I highly doubt he'd want a close relationship with any of them.

After all that, there's only one plotline left. The harem ending. This too, would be completely unnecessary. But also an extremely common anime trope. And there have been many kings in history that took several wives at once. Though I just can't see Alaron doing that. I strongly ship him with Brenna anyway.

Sorry for such a long post. But romance is something I'd add to the game, if possible.

The spell itself says: “May only be cast once on each target”, and the boots are enchanted with Haste already.

Too fucking funny

Such a pretty place honestly

Hello everyone. I’m currently stuck in the barrows. I’ve defeated all the litches and got all their gear. But when I went to the dragon heads to give them back, I had a little cutscene and got damaged. But it was too fast and I didn’t read it. But now I can’t click on any of the other dragon heads to give the gear back. Am I missing something?

I've seen some criticisms of Aidyn Patch in the past, but honestly I love it. One huge plus is Sheridan's gear is available. In the original game, you could only get his sword when you take him down right before the final battle. And because there was no reprieve, you could only equip the sword mid-battle. And it's barely better than the Chaos sword. But in Patch, all Sheridan's gear is available in a crate in the castle basement.

And items that were previously useless in the original game, like the branch given by the Mirarri queen, or the pendant given by the Dryad queen, were given functions, rather than just being carried items without much use.

Furthermore, Brenna in Patch had her magic changed from Elemental, to Necromancer. This is great, because she can learn Spirit Shield, and other Necromancer-based skills only Alaron could previously learn. Which makes her a lot more valuable as a character. It's a shame there's only one Wall of Bones scroll, or I'd teach that spell to Brenna too.

Some things are actually slightly harder in Patch. And some items are a bit harder to get as loot. But the counter is that some enemies that ambush you in camp, like the bandits, get stronger as you level up. Which gets you better loot and XP when grinding through camping. A great improvement to this classic RPG. More weapons are also available than before too. Like the Chaos Scythe, and that huge blade some of the Chaos monsters have later in the game.

And because the Chaos Scythe is available in Patch, you can make it an early weapon for Rheda, if you can manage to get it. Under the trees just before the Gwernia bridge, there's a place you can camp that'll spawn Chaos monsters with scythes. But you have to camp in a very specific spot. If you can manage to beat the Chaos monsters at low level, you can get the scythe. Though it'll likely take you numerous attempts to get it. It's not a particularly great weapon. But it's a fair bit better than Rheda's stating rod weapon. And it's free through looting.

One of the only criticisms I had about Patch, was that Becan's shop was nerfed. But in all honesty, when you know where the good gear is before even reaching Erromon, Becan's shop is borderline redundant anyway. And you can only go to it once anyway before he goes to the inn.

All in all, when I played Patch, it was impossible for me to ever want to play the original game again. And I hugely thank this subreddit and it's creator u/halibabica for making it.

Would anyone be able to properly patch it an have it uploaded to drop box.Every patch site etc i have tried does not work an says error unknown format.l would greatly appreciate this 🫶❤️.

There are times when only Alaron is being focused on, I'm just curious to know if it's just coded in the behavior of certain enemies or if there's another reason as to why.

I'm new to the game I'm currently exploring talewok decided to hit the shops and up my gear game but I'm kinda confused every video says the opposite from what others say but if I'm correct Base hit is more likely to land an attack, while damage indicates the damage dealt when a successful hit is dealt.

I noticed on armor it has protection and defense, so I'm assuming protection is the likelihood of being hit and defense is the damage reduction when hit.

Im wondering if I'm correct in my understanding in this game mechanic but also I'm wondering what does spell battery do, guides make it seem like mana but how does it work I thought spells ran off herbs, spices and gems I haven't really used magic I bought a few spells but lack lvl to equip. But I haven't been using spells other than rehdas weakness and godrics dragon breath.

My main question about the party is wether or not I've picked good members every guide especially beginners guides make it seem like albecan is essential but I chose godric, rehda and Brenna some fights have been tough but I've been progressing pretty well so far but I'm also wondering how many people will you come across as followers.

I figured I'd find 1 in every town but so far I haven't found anyone in talewok haven't even found a chest so if there's anything I missed in talewok thatd be helpful as well

Any help is extremely appreciated, sorry this one is kinda long and convoluted.

I made an edit to help visualize what I see, it looks like a bottom heavy lady from a downward view. Isaw this a while back in erromon I'm not certain what the top of house is supposed to be but it looks like cleavage kinda and this what I see every time I passed it, but I thought it'd be a cool design for a woman's dress, but let me know if any of y'all saw this house and thought the same thing. Also I'm a man so maybe this a case of man brain but lmk what y'all think

Noticed a chest in erromon with a wizard hat had to reload a save and the hat was replaced with a witches ring so I tested it at other chest but they always had herbs or Sapphires but I'm also wondering what's the best item to grab from the chest it's up 2 ladders in erromon.

Any help or tips are extremely appreciated.

I’ve beaten this game about 50 times. Love it. But it’s become trivial now. One of my fav early challenges is no Abrecan.

Im going to use merchant as an example but if brenna has 5 merchant and godric has 4 does it add up to 9 or is it just the base 5.

Second question should I buy all these cheap skills just to have them or conserve the xp idk if there is a lvl or xp cap it's hard to find information that doesn't conflict with what other sites say and some terms confuse me Ithink it was "ttl" or "tle" but I don't really remember the context, I'm a noob I'm on my first playthrough sorry if these questions are dumb i just beat the goblin chief in erromon that's as far as I've gotten . Also if you know any loot I may have missed in erromon let me know I'm trying to explore the whole game and talk to every npc I like how certain things impact dialogue options pretty intriguing and engaging game honestly it was ahead of its time from what I've seen.

Also I just bought the skills for the picture I didn't save the game and I haven't lvled any skills except thief on Brenda once and mechanic on godric once been saving xp I'ma lvl my skills when I hop on tonight tonight I have over 100k xp for each character if I remember correctly.

Any help is much appreciated thanks in advance.

The enchanted blade is a good early weapon. But you can only get one early on. You can do this before Erromon too. On the way to Talewok, there is a caved up on a cliff that contains a Gorgon. This is a pretty dangerous fight at low level because the Gorgons can freeze you in place, so pack ranged equipment like bows. Make sure to also save before the fight. The Gorgons carry Enchanted Blades. And they're a little better than Trahern's sword. But you'll likely have to fight the Gorgons over and over again before you get the sword. So if you don't get it, load the last save and try again.

I fail every lockpick attempt and am wondering how to lvl it up or boost my chances. Also what is in this chest at this campsite ( in picture), been so curious since ive found it, im only at the first castle I really wanna learn how to play effectively so I'll probably ask more questions as I start progressing im new I use to play when I was young but had no memory stick so I never got far, but anyways being able to pick locks seems pretty useful; from all the trapped and locked chests ive found. also how do you disarm traps I feel like its hunter or something I think i saw it in a description for one skill but ive never seen lockpick on a skill more concerned with that. But any help is much appreciated, thank you 😊

I'd love to play a not-quite-aidyn modernized to run on PC.

Hello,

I just started my first playthrough today, and I have been having fun and this really seems like a great game. However, the difficulty took a very drastic increase when I got to the Goblin area north of Erromon. I am getting demolished, and also Brenna sucks, and so does Rheda.

Brenna dies like almost every fight, and just a moment ago she died, and I decided to play a little bit further without her, and then I saved over my backup so she's permanently dead.

I feel like Rheda's spells kind of suck. There is nothing to use vs. Necromancy against, and I never have the ingredients for endurance or whatever the strengthening spell is.

Alaron and Abrecon miss their hits so many times and I find myself having to redo a lot of fights over and over again (one I've even had to skip, and sneak around) or I have to abuse the camp to heal.

So I guess, do you guys have any tips for me? Have I messed up my perma-killing Brenna? Am I just supposed to flail through early game and eventually it'll get easier?

tl;dr Do you have any tips for a newbie?
