Also it helps scare creatures who are afraid of fire in several books.

Is Book 2 the one where you have to travel through the cave and (if you have Animal Kinmanship) meet the mice people? (Sorry I'm so fuzzy with names.) The only way to get through that cave is if you have Animal Kinmanship or some kind of special spear, but how do you get that spear?
(Edit) Never mind -- found the pertinent thread.

Yeah, the spear is not the most noticeable thing. Cheral... isn't that name from Soul Calibur 2?

I hate Roark and Amory and cesses and his sister, and the Darklords, and the thieves in book 2 who took the Seal and....

Indeed. My favorite instance of this is in book 7: The bubble room. If you get yourself trapped in one, the Firesphere will save your life. Try using a regular torch/lantern. =X

I think the firesphere is the best item in the game, from an RP perspective and I would love to be able to carry it over, even if it has no uses, because it is so cool from an RP perspective!

And how is that valuable at all after Book 2...? |
|
I'm sure the king of Durenor found it very valuable after book 2 - as he takes it back from LW in return for the Sommerswerd.
Most useful item that hasn't been mentioned here - silver flask and Oede (not technically special items, but hey).
Silver flask: In the book where you're trapped in the Daziarn, make sure you visit all the tombs in the place the chaos master strikes.
Oede: Two places. The first is in book 5. You must get limbdeath, which is obtained in the sewer. You must head toward the aqueduct and fall over a corpse or something. I think animal kinship (or maybe mindblast) is fairly helpful here, as it lets you keep your purse in a fight with a sewer monster and buy several useful potions later. From there you just continue with the book and you eventually find the Oede.
The second Oede: Plague lords of Ruel. You need either the map of the place obtained in the library, or the golden key found in the statue of the daemonette in Cadak's office. It is Cadak, right? Then you wander through, and find it during your escape from the castle, after killing off the virus.
I know, my directions are vague. I haven't played the books in a couple of months.
Oh, I nearly forgot an almost useless item (by the time you find it). The jadin amulet that lets you evade normal missiles. Wow, wish you could find that in one of the early kai books. You get that in the Darke Crusade.

Bumping this thread. I'm starting the Helghast Boss Fight today, and this thread is ever helpful.

Other than the obvious Sommerswerd, my favourite items are the Silver Helmet, the Platinum Amulet and the Firesphere. The helmet because it's an excellent early find, the amulet because I just like it and the sphere because it has so many cool uses.

Hey folks, back after a long absence!
So, what's the deal with the Platinum Amulet? It protects you from extreme heat and cold, as I understand it, but is it ever called for after Book 7? There's certainly no end of situations where it would be useful if you don't have Nexus.

That Platinum Amulet? No. There's a Platinum Amulet or two in the GM series but apparently the Castle Death one is a fake.

It's true that this is strange: the Platinum Amulet is not on the list of authorized Special Items for the GM series. Although you can find one in book 7, they automatically give you one in book 16 (and 17, and 18, and 19, and 20 if you erase it after each adventures).

Not in 18.
Should we call the CD amulet "the Silver Amulet" then from now on?
