Lords of Xulima

Steam Early access / Beta was announced few weeks ago.
It's a pretty decent game to be honest anyone else is playing it?

Lords of Xulima

I am stuck and can't seem to progress. Not sure if that's due to its beta state or that I've missed something.

Looks neat. haven't tried it.

Give some progress reports on how it progresses to release. Have too much on my plate to give this a shot any time soon.

I find it a lot more enjoyable than Divinity: Original Sin.
It's different though. The combat works like Eye of the Beholder (Legend or Grimrok) but only in battle (no movement) with four front rows and four back rows. Out of combat it's isometric with enemies showing on map and in some areas it takes the japanese RPG element of "random ambush" but these ambushes are limited and can be wiped out completely.

There's a food resource system (a little annoying).
Classes are your basic ones; Paladin, Barbarian, Cleric, Mage, Thief, Bard...etc. (Yes bards have songs that buff the party).

Compared to other games it's really difficult and death is very common in the beginning.
If I didn't get stuck I'd be playing it non-stop but progress just stopped for me.

I cleansed the temple of frebret. Now everywhere I run there is this "wait for the next patch" sign popping up. So I guess I am done. Solid 10 hours of fun. Start is a little rough (no money, food system, enemies are tough) but it gets better after a few levels. If I knew that leaving the first village to the east and grinding the rat cave is 10 times easier than going west and getting my ass handed to me by goblins on the beach I would have had an easier start by a big margin.

Where is the Temple of Frebet?!
The only thing I cleared (dungeon) was that rat dungeon. I cleared the goblins at the beach, mushrooms (except for the extremely hard and impossible to beat static ones where you have to avoid them). How do you solve that Forest where you're transported to the beginning at specific places. Is there a route that takes you somewhere important? (I think there's an NPC there but couldn't find him).

Did you solve the Imp's riddle?

The Imp's always ask for the corresponding Lord of Xulima. This link helped me a lothttp://www.lordsofxulima.com/2013/01...ds-and-humans/.

The forest is a key area: look closely there are flowers on the ground (really only visible during the day). If you hit them you fall asleep. So there is one path that leads to a hut with an old guy who hands you a key for the tower of melancholy. Clearing this will give you the item you need at the temple a bit north of the tower.

Thank you!
