| The Bard's Tale IV: Director's Cut Cheat Codes: ------------ Submitted by: David K. How to Get Unlimited Mercenary Tokens: -------------------------------------- Written by PeliasDeWizzzrd To enjoy the game, I had to use a cheat to get more Mercenary Tokens: Initially I was concerned and annoyed by the bit awkward system of characters (NPC or Custom-made) progression. I felt anxious and restricted by the fact that I had to find and spend the “rare” mercenary-tokens to reset my characters skills or create new characters, especially since the innovative skill-tree made it hard to proper-plan my leveling during my first game-run. But, very close to the beginning of the game (level 5, just when the game becomes open-world-side-quest friendly), if we use a Trainer to get unlimited money for a few moments, we can purchase all the Mercenary Tokens our heart desire. -=Why We Need Mercenary Tokens=- 1.At the Adventurers Guild we can pay one Mercenary Token to the sergeant at the bar, to create a new custom party-character (companion). 2.At the Adventurers Guild basement, we can pay one Merc Token to the three hooded evaluators, to re-alocate all the skill-points of a character (main character or companion) 3.I desired a cheat to get lots of Merc Tokens, because I felt restricted by the fact that the game provided me with only 2 Tokens when I reached the start-of-open-world gaming state (about 5th level, having a 4 adventurers party size). -=How to Get Unlimited Mercenary Tokens= We must have a game edition that includes the DLC with the Haernhold dungeon. 1) Play the main story quests till the end of The Hidden Hand quest, when you will get your fist Mercenary Tokens (two of them). At that point, we have our main character and three pre-made NPCs in our party. The one NPC you will choose to sent to the off-land mission will NEVER come back (as far as I know). 2) Walk to the top-right (North-East) corner of the Skara Brae Below, just a few meters in-front of the spot that the new NPC (Crux) is waiting for you for recruitment, and stay at the crossroad looking at him. To your right (far east of the map), there is a big cave-way to the teleport-stones area, where Stoney will explain to you that you already know how to activate the teleport travel. 3) Activate the stones using the song you used to enter the initial Adventurers’ Guild, and the DLC Haernhold location will be available, even if you have not discover it yet thru quest storyline. 4) At the fist turn of the first corridor of the Haernhold dungeon there is a Dwarven Altar. Start offering it money (skeatt). It asks for 1 gp, then 10gp, then 100gp, and nothing is happening. It then asks for 1000gp, every time (no more price escalation). Every time you donate 1000 skeatt at the altar, you get a Mercenary Token. 5) The problem is, that at this point in game (lvl 5 with your crappy build 1st-run character and your loosy-build pre-made companions), you will not have anything close to 1000 gp. So we need to use a Trainer (cheat) from the many available on the web, to give our party “unlimited” money for just that moment. I used the following Trainer made by MrAntiFun ( Thank you man !!! ) , and purchased 50 Mercenary Tokens to feel satisfied, even if right now I am just needing probably 4 of them to setup the official companions to the build- specialization I like, and to fix my main character according to the knowledge I now have on the combat-skill-tactics. |
