guard armor. Its the armor that the town guards in Harbor City are wearing.



Easy kill:
---------
Submitted by: adal
Email: adaledi@yahoo.com

Its seems difficult to beat lizardelite or lizardwarrior in battle when they are more
than one. you may use a trick - draw your bow & hit one of them. Then leave that place
(make sure they are following you) & reach in nearby area where man can be found.now it
will be a easy beating while they will help you to kill it.



Digging up buried treasure:
---------------------------
Hidden treasure chests are located in various places around the island. Some are buried in
burial plots or cemeteries while others are unmarked. They can be identified by a large 
patch of light brown earth that doesn't quite match its surroundings.

With a shovel in inventory, position your hero on top of the area and click your mouse.
It will only work when no text is highlighted on screen (i.e. identifiers for herbs,
the grave or other items).

Some of buried chests form part of the Steelbeard treasure quest, but there are others.
* Swamp: Branon's dig site and Enrico's dig site 
* Harbor Town: Turn to the right while standing in front of Commandant Carlos' fortress
  (in an alcove with a skeleton) 
* Tilda's Farm (Severin): Behind one of the buildings 
* Monastery: A corner of the cemetery 
* Eastern Temple: In an alcove found by dropping through the floor.



Cheat Entry for Crystals:
-------------------------
Submitted by: Badger

To gain the magic crystals without needing to find them enter the code:

give It_Crystal_*

Replace * with Frost, Fire, or Magic. Case sensitive.



Infinite Experience/Gold Glitch in Bandit Camp:
-----------------------------------------------
In the Bandit Camp, seek out Rhobart. He will ask you to get 10 reeds of Brugleweed.
Once you have at least 10, talk to him and give them to him. He will give you 70 gold
and 50 XP. After this, attack him until he is unconscious(do NOT kill him). Loot his 
body and retrieve the Brugleweed you gave him. When he gets back up, talk to him again
and regive him the Brugleweed. You will get xp and gold over again, do this as much
as you want. Works better if you have more Brugleweed to give (in multiples of 10).

All Shields and Helms:
----------------------
Submitted by: DaManInSoCal

If you type:

give It_Shield and
give It_Helm 
you will get all helms and shields to go with the armor you get with It_armor



Daylight robbery:
-----------------
Similar to the games in Gothic series, defeating a friendly non-player character 
(NPC) will reward the player with experience (applicable only once per NPC) and 
loot, if the fallen NPC has items and may be subject to looting.

The problem with attacking NPCs is that they and sometimes other NPCs in the 
vicinity (not surprisingly) become hostile and attack the player. It is possible
to avoid them becoming hostile by exploiting a friend-foe algorithm in the game: 

* Attack target NPC (once and only once) 
* NPC will then raise his/her weapon but not attack the player 
* Wait for the NPC to lower weapon (faster if the player also sheathes weapon) 
* Repeat step 1-3 until NPC is felled 
* Loot 

Note: This exploit may not work on some Order NPCs, where attacking them only once may
provoke them to become hostile.



Jumping Moving:
---------------
Certain areas such as the swamp or being waist up in water by the beach will force 
the player to move slowly. Apparently jumping while moving allows the player to move
significantly faster in these areas. It should also be noted that jumping is slightly 
faster than running on solid ground, although jumping too often might slightly inflict
the player with motion sickness.

Jumping may only be done when the player is not doing another action, such as drinking
a potion, reloading a crossbow, aiming with a ranged weapon, etc.



Being robbed of experience when you level up:
---------------------------------------------
If adding the experience gained from your last action to your current total would 
result in a new total that would be higher than the amount needed to level up, the
new total will in fact be equal to the amount needed to gain the next level, any 
further experience gain being lost. Granted that you won't gain quite so many levels
and there aren't many moments when you'll gain large amounts of experience all at once,
but unless you're extremely careful the loss is still likely to add up to at least a 
few thousand experience points by the end of the game... Which is why I said some 
moderate use of the Rhobart "cheat" seems only fair.



FPS, Climbing Issues, Mouse Sentivity and Aspect Ratio Fix:
-----------------------------------------------------------
Written by Gorn

A fix to correct some issues like screen resolution, FPS limiter to correct climbing 
bug and also an option to decrease mouse sensitivity.

-=Introduction=-
This guide intends to share a small fix that can solve some issues while playing Risen. 
This fix can be found in the next link and was originally shared by KonradAr.

Fortunately, there is an installer that allows the player to install the desired features 
amongst several options given.

-=FPS Limiter=-
It limits the FPS preventing some bugs like the character disappearing while climbing 
on ledges or stumbling in the air from happening.

The value of the FPS is based on the refreshing rate of your monitor following 
the next formula:

* 60Hz: 60 FPS.
* 75Hz: 75 FPS.
* 120Hz: 60 HPS.
* 144Hz: 72 FPS.
* 165Hz: 82 FPS.
* 180Hz: 90 FPS.
* 240Hz: 80 FPS.
* 360Hz: 90 FPS.

-=Default Screen Resolution=-
It allows the game to detect the screen resolution of your monitor by default instead 
of having to configure it manually each time the game is run or having to edit the 
configuration files of the games in the installation root.

-=Aspect Ratio Fix=-
It changes the aspect ratio of the loading screen images of the game giving an improved 
panoramic view.

The images over 4:3 change to 16:9 view and those images over 18:9 change to a 21:9 view.

-=Mouse Sensitivity=-
It sets the value of “SensitivityX” “SensitivityY” from “0.5f” and “0.5f” to “-0.3f” 
and “0.1f” that can be found in the root: “…\Risen\data\ini\ConfigDefault.xml”.

Helpful for all those that think that the default sensitivity of the game is too high 
and cannot change it in the menu options.

-=F5 Key for Quicksave=-
It rebinds the default quicksave key from F8 to F5, like used in many modern games.

I hope this installer solve some or your issues without having to edit the configuration 
files from the installation root. And thanks again to KonradAr and the moddb community to
give us such a helpful program.
