Today I'll show you how to easily level up weaker party members using a classic battle from Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord. Who is Murphy? Why is he haunting the maze? We may never know, but we appreciate the fact that he gives us about 4500 XP for basically no risk every time we fight him.

Yes, you can definitely have more than 1 ghost.

Perhaps the most diabolical aspect of Wizardry is you cannot have an all-fighting front line and a Priest, Mage, Thief, & Bishop in the back. So in the original WizPGMO on Apple II I had a strong all-fighting front line, and my Mage changed class to a Bishop mid-game. But in the sequel Knight of Diamonds, which imported your WizPGMO party, I was stuck when I needed a teleport spell. So I took my original WizPGMO Samurai and spent HOURS fighting Murphy's Ghosts solo until he learned the Level 7 Mage spell Malor, then imported him into KoD !

Back in the day I always ran with a bishop in the party but nowadays I think most people think that's a bad idea, because they simply level too slowly. What I've been doing in my recent playthroughs has been: a "utility bishop" stays parked in the tavern, drinking beer. When I need to identify things, I go back for a drink. Occasionally he will be too low level to identify things, at which point I'll take him for a trip into the dungeon with my higher-level party to power level him a few levels.

@@TeaLeavesProgramming Yes I'm still considering that option on my Xbox. In the original my Bishop was levelled up and had lots of both Mage & Priest spells, which is strong in the long game after Mages and Priests have nothing else to learn. Currently I have my Priest in the front line and plan to change him to a Lord after learning level 7 Priest spells, using my Bishop to take up the slack.

@@tedcamus3578 IIRC in the original there was also the "Identify #9" trick which gave your bishop infinite XP, which made them a lot more viable to play with 😀

Yep. Would do this very thing on the NES version.

Until this reboot I've always felt that the NES version was the best way to play Wizardry, because under emulation freeze/defrost makes it so much less painful.

My brother and I had a glitch in our NES version as kids. When we finally beat him, every member of that party gained infinite XP. Every time one of those characters rested, they gained a level!!
