what are the occasions in the whole LW series in which you cannot help losing your whole backpack? Since I haven't read further than Book 16, I might have missed something, but I haven't heard about any other than these two... - In Book 2 you lose, at least, all your Backpack Items even though you can keep the Backpack itself, if you make the right choice.
- The famous one is at the end of Book 7.

My query was for totally losing it... in book 2 you can keep the backpack and, ultimatey, retrieve the items (or just lose the meals). there are a couple more...

You might want to drop a hint, Outspaced, as I don't think you have any takers on that admitably perplexing question.

I junt don't want to be a greedygut... Outspaced's question is not that hard, but i shall not answer yet, I think I've ran out of non-LW queries

My question does seem to be on the obscure side of challenging, doesn't it?

Well, I have a good head for place names, it's just that I haven't read many gamebooks beyond Lone Wolf. Thus it becomes very tricky for me.

Actually, there is no way to regain your lost backpack items in Book 2, and you do lose all of them. But if you mean places where you do lose your backpack and all that's in it, no matter what path you take/choices you make through the book, then I guess there must be some more in the later books then...

I assume you mean ways that you can't avoid by taking an alternate route? I can only think of the instance in Book 7, but like Thomas, my memory of the later books is hazy to non-existent.

I'll pipe in here with another. You lose your backpack at the end of book 27: Vampirium. I was mad because I'd gotten all kinds of great potions and items stashed in there, particularly a Drodarin bag of holding, and I lost all of it!

Well, there's the one in book 13, but that's avoidable by taking a different route, so I guess it doesn't count?
Geez, I haven't played past book 7 in over... 6 years...

According to my surveying of the books, it is just in two cases you've mentioned, LW 7 and LW27, where you lose your whole backpack (in book 7 it is snatched from you in the mob flight from Kazan-Oud; in book 27 Sejanoz also grasps it from you and you flee without retrieving it). In book 2 you can keep the backpack (by swimming to the shore), albeit empty. In other books you can lose your backpack (book 3 for example) and then find a new one, but only when taking certain routes. So i guess Thomas and Relenoir did it 50 50

Well, Relenoir named the two books, so I think that it is him that should ask a LW question now.

I would agree, that since Relenoir named the remaining book, he gets the question. Plus I am the self styled Referee

Zipp: Whoa! Another new avatar? I liked Link, but that's cool. I recognized him as one of Bowser's kids, I just couldn't remember which one until I read the text underneath. That's. . . different. So, I've been nominated for another trivia question. Let's all hope I can remember the answer for long enough to get the answer from somebody! In what book can you fight Knoarcs in?

Reptilian creatures. They climb out of a "pot" which always reminded me of Bowser's flying machine in Mario World for the SNES. You fight two of them at once in Wolf's Bane.
Get ready for another avatar change sometime soon. I'll find one to stick with eventually, I'm just having too much fun *giggle* accesorizing.
