If you don't want to go thru the caves to get to the beach and you don't mind getting wet, swim around the island to the beach....get on the dock, dry off and start lobbing those grenades!
Don't forget the hex eater shot on anywho with voodoo-it will freeze them and let you kill them right off!

One thing I want to add about Grenades. Max them as soon as you can, and do not increase the damage to any of your grenades.

I was a level 40 when I tried to max my grenades because I didn't learn how to use them till I was in my high 20's/30's.

So because I assigned skill points to make my nades stronger, and because I didn't level them till I was a high level, it took forever to finally max them. They made a huge amount of damage, and I got little rep from them.

This time around, I didn't assign any additional skill points to them, and I worked them early. They were much easier to max this time.

Yuppers Chris. Start leveling your nades

Oops. What if I used two skill points on my nades level up attacks and barrage?

You'll still be able to max them. Because they already do a lot of damage, you just gotta keep them as weak as possible, both in skill points and your notoriety. Otherwise it'll take what seems like forever to max.

Smoke bomb is great for leveling, but the draw back is that you can only carry 25 of them. So you'll need to use fire, and stink also. Keep them all weak

Sorry, but what do you mean "max but do not increase the damage"?

Don't add additional skill points to your grenades other than the skill point you need to unlock them. Also don't use skill points on passive skills that might increase damage. Use all those skill points after the grenades are maxed (lvl25).

I'm just saying this, because I made mistakes and had a hard time maxing my grenades. When you're only getting 38 rep points in tormenta for each enemy using grenades, and having to restock the grenades, the leveling goes very slowly.

Alright, so what your saying is to keep everything low points till I have a high level or max? I don't have a problem with that. Helps me decide on what to level up, but in the meantime I'm putting points on the skill that brings your health regrowth rate up by 50%.

Low points until you max.

Thank you for saying that, because I wasn't sure what that meant.

So I would just keep getting the different kind of nades, and not just increasing each nade as I went? So that I have the use of all of them, and then decide what I want to keep "upgrading"?

Thanks, I read the post before that, but thanks for re-posting it up!

If you swim around from the docks to the left, there is a little beach before the pier. When you come out of the water a giant crab will generate. I've started killing them with a dagger. There's also a rock crab (oh the horror).

Just after that is the spot where a skeleton pops up. It's usually either a grenadier or a gypsy. If it's a gypsy 3 or 4 shots with hex eater usually does the trick and then he stands there oh so nicely while you throw grenades at it. If it's a grenadier, just play catch with him with grenades. Since he does about 75 damage and you should be doing 300 damage, this isn't all that bad. You can rest up to re-gen the damage taken (go back to take out the rock crab).

If you go on to the right there will be something else there (but that one might be a raider). But you can take out a gypsy or grenadier the same way. Stay close to the rock wall since a dread scorpion pops up somewhere around there too (kind of limits vodoo attacks on a raider since you can't run around as easily).

There may or may not be one more skeleton before you get to town

Take care when throwing grenades to this one-- the first pair fighting is usually an officer fighting a raider and they will both come after you if you disturb them. I can take an officer (with a potion) or a raider (with a potion and a lot of luck) but both at the same time is a oneway ticket back to a 3x5 room in the fort. On a good day you can level here before the game starts spitting out raiders which ruins the fun for me (although I'm getting to the point where I can start taking them out).

Stumps if you're a higher level now, but if you're still low..padres.

I'm lv 31 and only have Grenedes at 11. It's a nightmare trying to level them up.
