Any tips for V3? I was trying to make one gem surrounded by 8 amplifiers. All of them Chain/Pool/Blood and also a path to take down armor but failed after level 200. How should I finish this level?

Just finished V3 with Chain / Poolbound / Critical
Main gem at level 13, amplifiers at level 9 with traps with armor tearing and suppresing.

How do you go about unlocking the "C" and "G" maps?

I've completed all fields around those maps and haven't found them

Have you opened the tombs and wizard towers around them?

Nevermind. I thought they were located on the north side of the map and not the southwest

Anyone know what level the talisman fragments go up to? My highest currently is 73.

Also, I thought I'd mention that if you have a fragment that gives +1 to a skill that you have maxed (level 45) it will boost it to a previously unavailable level 46, although since the levels that give the best power boosts are every 3 levels (i.e. those levels that increase both attributes of the skill) my strategy has been to back any max skills down from 45+1 to 44+1 and take all the extra starting mana.

GCZero, they cap at 100, which has 9 modifiers and 9 upgrade levels.

Up to 100.
And you are doing wrong, because +all skills still adds bonus (even ones given each 3 levels) to capped skill. So whole talisman, filled fragments with +1 all skills, will half mana pool milestones, give instant gem socketing, +25% to each gem special, +50% combined gems specials, +5 shells/seconds to enhancements, -15% gem combination.

Oktavia, I think what he's saying (and I agree) is that if you have +2 to a skill, then it doesn't make sense to keep it at level 45 base because 47 isn't much of an improvement. You should always invest into multiples of 3, since that's when the secondary effect ramps up.

To be more clear, let me give a couple examples:

+1 to all skills - Put it at 44 to make an effective 45
+2 to all skills - Put it at 43 to make an effective 45
+3 to all skills - Put it at 45 to make an effective 48
+4 to all skills - Put it at 44 to make an effective 48
+12 to all skills - Put it at 45 to make it an effective 57

What is the earliest field in which each kind of enemy can show up?

I'm wondering because I just had a shadow in I3, with no battle traits in use.

I am currently facing two shadows at once, is this supposed to happen?

How did you guys get to such high levels so quick? I am going very slowly.

I am struggling a bit too, but it got better when I realized to use the spells (freeze, bolt, beam, etc), as often as possible.
