Hi, my name is Paul Tadd, and I'm trying to import my fighter Hero into QFG5 and I can't seem to bring my trigger spell imported into QFG5 with my Hero, who again, is a fighter. Is there any chance that I could find my answer here? My games came from a man named "Derek", who owns Gone GOLD Classic Games. When I got the QFG series for Christmas in 2014, I was able to beat the whole series with all 5 games being point and click versions, especially with the point and click remake from Sierra and the recent point and click remake from AGDI.

For some reason, I can't get my trigger spell into QFG5. I need that spell to win the game. Can someone here help me with this? I can't beat QFG5 without my trigger spell.
Every game should be winnable with every class, but not always in the same way. Pure fighters should have a non-magical solution to the game. Trigger might be a solution for magic users, but you should not need trigger to win with a fighter.

Various games in the series are known to have quirks related to importing hybrid classes.

To be clear, you are not playing the game as purchased from GOG, correct? In some cases, games from other sources will have or lack patches that could affect the answers to your questions.
I'm not using the GOG version. I'm using special disks from a computer game business called "Gone GOLD Classic Games."

I was able to have trigger spell in the drag to desktop (or laptop, like I'm using right now), and I had that spell and was to keep that spell in QFG5.

I purchased that spell in the QFG2 VGA remake and was able to use it in QFG5.


Also, I need that trigger spell on magical traps in order to prevent getting killed by explosions.

How can my fighter win the game if I can't open things up that can kill me with their explosions? This is not fair. I'm using the current GOG games and I still can't get my trigger spell into QFG5.

How am I gonna win this game without my trigger spell to prevent me from getting killed by explosions?

Hi. As advowson pointed out a Fighter has a non-magical solution to the trapped/exploding chest "puzzle".

In the case of exploding chests, a pure Fighter has several ways of opening them:
1. Brute force. You will need to have high health to survive the explosion (yes you can survive it). Train your Strength and Vitality to high/max cap.
2. You can use Fireproof Oil on hero before opening exploding chests. This will protect your hero from the explosion.

If you really want the Trigger spell, you can add it via hex editing your save. You will need a hex editor program. I use "HxD - Freeware Hex Editor" but others should work.
1. Open your hex editor.
2. Make sure your QFG5 hero has 1 fruit in inventory (can have more but the fruit will be replaced) and save your game.
3. Make a backup of your save file and open your QFG5 save with your hex editor.
4. Search for the following Hex-value --> 208B
5. You should only get one search result. Something like this: 20 8B 01 00 05 00 00 00
6. This line tells me that my hero has 5 fruit in his inventory (20 8B is fruit) and (05 00 is the amount of fruit in hexadecimal)
7. Replace 20 8B with 7E 8C to get trigger spell.
8. Save your changes in the editor and load your game. You will have trigger spell at level 0. Cast it once and it will be at 200 spell level. Save your game and don't forget to buy more fruit.

Thank you for letting me know this. I'll probably wait until the holiday season is over in January of next year. Right now, I'm getting ready for Christmas and New Years. But I'll get to it in due time. But thanks again for your help.
I started and new game. I didn't go too far, so I restarted things. My strength and vitality have been upped to 400 points. So, that should be enough to help my hero survive any of those deadly blasts.
Ok, so I had more time for this than I thought. But the good news is that I was finally able to beat QFG5 again by upping my Hero points stats for Strength & Vitality up to 400. I guess that's all I needed to do.

I think that this GOG thing is better than any other program online.
Next time you feel like playing some Quest for Glory, try using the latest fixes (most of the GOG versions' patches are fanmade, so no need to balk) for 3, 4, and 5. QFG5Patcher in particular brings the CD versions to parity with the GOG version (as well as fixing some potentially game-breaking issues, and letting you play as Elsa von Spielburg and Magnum Opus)

Being able to get maximum points in 3 and not have to worry about that bloody Domovoi (still mad at him for ruining my blind playthrough! Had to use a guide to figure out that I was screwed!) any more. Don't worry, he's fixed, not gone.
