I'd recommend crafting a Nail Bat and Vindicator as soon as possible. I did that almost immediately and it's been smooth sailing ever since. The Nail Bat is an Iron Ignot (3 ores + 3 ores) and Timber (3 wood + 3 wood). Vindicator is the Nail Bat + Iron Globe (3 Iron Ignots + Alkahest). It's a little time consuming, but so worth it.

The bad parts part 2: Artificial difficulty is very high (those eye variety monsters are a huge pain to deal with only because it's hard to make sure you're targeting them correctly, and then those stunlock ice snakes are pretty annoying too). The ice levels are some bad Pokemon wannabe stages. If you leave a quest for later and proceed to a different area, you won't be able to pick up its follow-up quest from the new sigil, making travel back and forth necessary if you want to finish all quests (tip: don't waste your time). Crafting is excessively annoying since you have to do it one item at a time. I'm using quick slot items far more than quick slot abilities, so it's annoying that I have keyboard shortcuts for abilities rather than items. I guess it depends on your 'class' choice.

The bad parts part 1: the plot disappeared around the time I reached the center town, and in the end cutscene, nothing was really explained. The battle system based on stamina is awkward, the bosses are too easy, you won't need even a tenth of the money you're bound to gather, emerald / sapphire / ruby / gold nodes spawn very rarely (I got ONE gold node in the whole game, and not enough of the other nodes to gather 6 of any kind of shard to make a full gem). Targeting is very difficult and positioning of yourself and monsters can be very deceptive. Ranged weapons are almost useless due to that. Never once was my pet in any danger of dying, even when I had it tank the final boss by itself, so that makes the whole hatching system rather unappealing (certainly better than the first one, though).

press + if you accidentaly sold a quest item or a very important item. and you played a new game just to get that item back.

I gave this game a 4/5 the moment I saw that your first pet was some monster fox... then I saw the map and decided that if I could I'd give it a 10/5 but I had to go with 5/5 because I can't go higher... their a few small bugs that have been mentioned prior to my post so I wont re-post them and they in no way detract from the game.

Should be a way to just click the recipe if you've done it before, and auto craft it if you have the materials. That way you dont spend forever dragging materials.

Bug: When you have multiple Monster Eggs in your inventory and you try to throw a specific one away, then it will throw away the first egg in your inventory instead of the selected egg. Very annoying, I threw away my Loomi Egg and Poison Beetle Egg when trying to throw away a Blue Beetle Egg. Please Fix!

The game eventually locks up every time. Be smart, change screens once in a while so the game autosaves. I hope likwid fixes this.

To get a pet out of the stable, go to the Egg Hatching House, and look by it...
You should see a stone-fenced out area. If you have pets in the stable they will be walking around in this area. To make it your pet at the moment, Click the pet, while its in the fenced out area.

After playing some more, here are some suggestions/critics: The ores/shards things could be a bit more common. Going in and out a scenaria hoping for a mine to appear gets annoying. The stamina recovery could be improved by some of the stats (or perhaps adding them, like strength + agility). And, more importantly, quests that you have already done before actually getting it (specially those "forge this potion/weapon") should be recognized and awarded without you having to do it again. Some times re-doing something I've done already involves hunting for items and that goes back to suggestion/complaint #1 :) Still, overall, huge improvement from the first game and you deserve all the credits for that!

Hey Programmers of "Castaway2": The Movements from the player aren't the best, and sometimes in the Iceworld the Players frozen, and i must restart the game! But its a very nice game, i love it! And sorry for my bad english! ;-)

@NovelMoone That's what clearing your internet history DOES. Never delete internet history if you play any flash game you want to keep track of.

Very exciting to see all the improvements! I especially love that objects go translucent when I pass behind them. I like the stable. I also like being able to move and attack with just the keyboard and I like being able to access my inventory and things while in town.
Improvements I'd like to see: It would be convenient to have the option to set the abilities shortcuts to other keys. Personally, I'd like to set them to the letter keys adjacent to the spacebar. It would also save a bit of tediousness to be able to click an item recipe and have the slots automatically filled in with the materials, or to be able to set how many of the item I want to create. Finally, it would be nice to have the option to play as a female. The main figure wouldn't even need to be changed much (if at all) considering how androgynous it is. Just the little square avatar could be changed.

It wont load. It stays at the title screen. Not the main menu, but before it. It doesn't show the armor games nd the likwid intros. It's happened twice to me now. What do I do???

How do you make the Warrior's Shield? In the Crafting Guide, it says to combine the Knight's Memento and the Round Shield. I did this and got nothing. Please help!

I think it shoud have shortcuts because its a bit boring to have to click the small bottons, but its a really good game.
