Soul Gem, or Red Crystal

[Nosferatu]

Is the soul gem and red crystal going to give you same secret characters in mp? I used soul gem and got a summoned creature, i skipped red queen and robot,to keep it, should i go back to one and get crystal?

Each new crytal will results in new character.This is all about choices.Once you got the soul gem ,save your game.When you need MP characters load this savegame and try to get as many different crystals as you can.Each time you will get a max of one crystal and that will give you one MP character.Then again load that savegame and do this process again.Actually soul gem is the key of secret MP characters.

so there are more crystals than just the red crystal and soul gem?

[Dean340]

well, more "items"...spare parts, etc. ;D

There's also more than one red crystal. Where you get it makes a difference.

Very correct.That is what I want to say.The red crystal seems to be same from red queen,valkayrie,amazon....

But they are not the same.They results in diffrent MP characters.

if you drop the soul gem in front of the red queen in MP will she give you the red crystal?

Try it and find out what you get.

Since when? Taking the soul gem back to the Red Queen is part of the quest associated with her and she will give you a red crystal in return but it is up to you whether or not you take it back to her or use it another way, this is just one of the options.

The question was "what happens if you do this in multiplayer?"

Put simply, the answer is "nothing." As has been said before, the gems only conjure secret characters in the MP start area. If you drop the soul gem in front of the queen in SP, she gives you one of the red crystals. If you do it in MP, nothing happens - the red crystals (regardless of where you got them from) only work in the start area.

However, I should point out that asking questions that you can find the answer to yourself in a few minutes will always get you a "try it and find out" response from me. If you have a soul gem in MP, you can start in Q8 and head straight south to Q5. It's a matter of a few minutes' experiment.

is it harder to get to most of the middle squares using white airships or black ships? cause in the single player game Black has rearranged them to your disadvantage, is that also true in MP?

If you have taken the time to map out the world and the airship connections (it's not hard, it's only an 8x8 grid), you will discover that it is easier to get to any part of the board starting from black.

You can't use saved games from 1.0 once you have updated.
