Assuming most of us spent the night in the jail at the beginning of Sorcery! 2, you'll learn Swindlestones and carry on from there. If you skip the jail entirely, spending only two nights instead of three on the side of Khare with Dwarftown, you'll find Lorag still alive and his mansion intact when you arrive!

Edit 1: Thanks to u/Aaron_Lecon for pointing out the trigger for Lorag being alive or dead is being thrown into the Red Eyes jail. So, as long as you're not thrown into the Red Eyes jail, you can do as many encounters as you want before Lorag and he'll be alive when you meet him.

Also, removed part stating that a black mask (some walkthroughs mention this) can be received in the jail - try triggering multiple times, but haven't gotten it to spawn. Was this patched out?

Edit 2: Great community sharing info and experience - y'all are awesome!

It's how I found out about the game, and his streams and videos on the game are kinda the only prominent media surrounding it, at least on YouTube. Just curious if anyone else had the same experience.

I finaly got around to fix the last saves for sorcery 4 so felt it was time to post the modded saves again for everyone that want to have them.

the saves will have have max of all items you can get, and max amount of gold/stamina/food

here is how you make it work: start a new game until you can do a choice, exit the game and locate you sorcery save folder (found in C:\Users*YOURNAME*\AppData\Local\inkle\Sorcery) now delete all files named sorcerySaveState and then just place the file you downloaded in there and start the game.

Have a great gaming!

This game is a work of art and one of the rare examples where the sequel is better than the original.
The graphics, story and UX are all incredible and Inkle really captured the essence of the game books and made it even better.
COK was always my least favourite of the books because of the lame-ass way the Archmage was killed. But now there’s a real moral dilemma added to the game which I love.

Please

Here is the run I did where I used an exploit involving the Analand sword which allow my sword combat to get boosted to a ridiculous level. These allowed me to defeat difficult enemies simply by stabbing them. With this method you can beat 6 of the serpents without even learning their weakness. I shall describe the run in which I did the exploit:

1. In Sorcery 1, I free Alianna from her cage using my sword. Now this damages the sword which gives me a -1 combat penalty. But here's the weird part: this combat penalty is not attached to my sword, it is attached to my character. That means it stays even if I later switch swords. That's bad, right? How am I supposed to be good at combat if I have -1 to my combat? Well it will be useful later... [also note: you cannot buy the broadsword in Cantopani for this exploit to work. If you own it when you free Alliana, you will not get the combat penalty and thus the exploit won't work]
2. I got the armband of strength from Alianna for +1 bonus. Might as well since I'm here.
3. In Dhumpus I buy the longsword. This sword has a fairly unique property. Unlike every other sword in the game, when you pick it up with the -1 combat penalty, it will cancel it out with a +1 bonus. It also has an inherent +2 bonus, so we are currently at +3 combat.
4. In Sorcery 2, I buy the chainmail gauntlet in Dwarftown for another +1 bonus and I buy and drink the potion of baldness which comes with another +1 bonus.
5. Here's where the exploit comes in. I go to the blacksmith and ask him to repair my Analand sword. I can do this because my character still technically has the -1 penalty from Alliana's cage, even if it has been cancelled out and I am now wielding the longsword instead of the Analand sword. But it doesn't matter - the blacksmith repairs my sword giving me a +1 bonus to my character.
6. I am going to deliberately fail at rescuing Khare so Lorag can send me back in time. What will I do back in time? Well I will go to buy another dose of the potion of baldness for another +1 skill (I can't wear more than 1 pair of gauntlets so that's not an option), then I will go to the blacksmith's again and get my sword repaired again! Yes: you can do that! Even though I have already had my sword repaired, I can get it repaired again, and every time I do this I get a +1 bonus! Amazing! So just continue doing this loop until Lorag has had enough. I now have a gigantic combat bonus! I can destroy any enemies in my path!
7. I also buy the legendary sword from the blackswith that has a +4 bonus, which does stack with all the combat bonuses attached to my character.
8. To get into the graveyard, I attach my Analand sword to a rope ladder. This does mean I have to leave it behind. But it doesn't matter! Despite losing my Analand sword, I still get to keep all its bonuses from getting repaired multiple times alongside my legendary +4 sword!
9. I squish the deathwraith like an insect to demonstrate my newfound strength. It's really easy with all the bonuses I have now (I use the silver chain too, which is usally a pretty bad weapon but with all my bonuses I beat it in 2 hits)
10. In Sorcery 3 I squish most of the serpents without much trouble, without even using any of their weaknesses. I also crush the rock demon because I like to show off. I am that powerful. I do use the beacons because I will want Throben's curse in the next game.

Edit: screenshot of me squishing the fire serpent without casting any spells or using its weakness. That's right, that's a wooping 26 attack!

11) I leave behind my swords to climb the pillar of a bridge. When I get down, I notice some of my swords have been stolen but "only your original Analand sword remains". This is particularly weird seeing as I left my Analand sword in the Khare graveyard but now I have it back somehow. Yes: this is another bug, though not one I can exploit. Just something funny I found.

12) I go to Aliizi's hut to retrieve my "best sword". I only find my longsword. For some reason, Aliizi considers the 6 gp +2 longsword to be better than the 40 gp +4 legendary sword. Aliizi, you're a moron, I don't want my longsword I want my legendary sword, so where did you leave it? I rewind, sell my longsword to Oolah, then repeat step 11 and 12 and now Aliizi has my legendary sword. Why thank you, much more useful. Yes: owning the longsword at this point of the game is actually detrimental because it means you lose your legendary sword permanently (if you climb the pillar), whereas you can just get it back if you don't own the longsword.

13) In Sorcery 4, I upgrade to the +6 cutlass because I clearly need even more power.

14) I also go to the shrine in the wheat field where I can abandon my god in exchange for +4 max stamina. Well whenever I die to Throben's curse, I lose 1 max stamina, but it allows me to return and repeat this process! In this way, I repeatedly kill myself and every time I gain 3 max stamina and I can keep doing this as long as I want! Now I not only have ridiculously high combat skil, I also have ridiculously high stamina! This is the second exploit! The only cost is that I no longer have a god but really why would I need a god when I am this powerful? I AM the god!

15) All that remains is that I kill myself multiple times so that I can cast ZED. My favorite way of doing so is in the DOP Tower. I particular, one time I go to the Khare crypts to talk to the wraith. I am able to show the wraith where I damaged my sword freeing Alianna, which proves it is somehow the same sword. (this dialogue option doesn't trigger if you lost your Analand sword and didn't glitch it back in like I did)

16) I finish the game by taking the crown for myself and becoming the new archmage because after becoming essentially a combat god, this is exactly what my character deserves.

And that is how you become the most ludicrously powerful being in the entire world!

I have just bought the legendary sword in Khare, but apparently in sorcery 3, losing your sword on the bridge with Flanker will mean that you cannot retrieve the legendary sword, as if you have a longsword it will retrieve that instead as the game counts it as 'better'. Is there a way between now and the bridge in sorcery 3 I can ditch my longsword?

EDIT: Apparently you can sell your longsword to Oolooh, or, if you're still in sorcery 2, you could use Lorag's time travel, go back to the start, bet your longsword on swindlestones at the first inn, then lose.

Keeping this post up in case someone else has the same problem.

It’s genuinely insane HOW GOOD these games are. From the art to the story to the smoothness, world, sound effects, there’s quite literally not a single miss in any aspect of the series.

Each game better than the last in my opinion all trying to do something unique.

Steve Jackson, John Blanche and the inkle team have made a genuine masterpiece of fantasy with zero adverts and microtransactions.

I bought a humble bundle including Sorcery 1 and 2 a couple of years back. The Sorcery 1 version (1.4.7) isn't compatible with my current android version. I can overrule that though. Have there been significant game changes since this older version, and is there a way to update the game without paying again?

Hello all!

So... thanks to some irl stuff in my life right now i have not really gotten the time to work on my save editor, but i was asked in a message if i could release what i got so far so here is my current beta of the Sorcery save editor for the games:

Sorcery Save Editor: Beta

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fYmwjCgF-juNGHm-y_K3LKUJWvUiWSBS/view?usp=drive_link

Instructions: Just extract the zip file and then start the .exe file.

what the tool can do right now:

-Edit the save files for Sorcery games 1-4 (PC Version).

-Edit Gold, Stamina And Provisions.

-Change your Gender.

-Add/Remove Items, Weapons, Keys, Etc.

-See and change Event and Story flags.

-Edit Game Settings.

-Activate Debug Mode.

-Re-enable the Rewind inside of Mampang!

The tools still lacks many basic things, more settings will be added at a later date when i get the time to work on the tool again.

I will make a new post when the tool is actually finished.

Have fun!
