When I fought the prince, I used Archer, Knight, Dwarf, Sorcerer,
Wizard. I was around level 10 or 11, however. My strategy has
always been to be as "overprepared" for battle as possible. A lot of
times I'll go into a place, kill as many people as I can without
taking the booty or the prize............teleport back, regenerate
spell points by jogging, then go back 4 and 5 times collecting
experience. I have just begun the journey through Kra'an's Lair, and
My team is at level 16. For now, I go back and fight and will
continue to do so until I reach level 18. Only at that level will I
face Kra'an. It takes longer to to it this way because of all the
regenerations, but the more experience I accumulate, the more damage
I do and the more accurate I am.

This strategy is important, even in a modified fashion if you are
following the walk-through. The walk-through can get you past the
different adventures quickly, at the expense of experience
points....because there is not as much exploring and fighting if you
follow the walk-through to the letter.

Just a suggestion.....I could be wrong.
