Indiscriminate Transgressions

So I discovered a bug in the Xbox 360 version of Puzzle Quest that allows you to cheat, pretty significantly. Here’s how you do it.

I played until I was level 49, then I quit and I deleted the game from my console. I then downloaded the trial version of the game, which caps your level at 7, until I had enough experience where I would be moved to level 50. Then I hit start, unlocked the full game, and immediately jumped to level 50, receiving the Legendary Hero achievement. The bug is that in the process, I gained 176 skill points that I could apply to my character. (50 - 7) * 4

So I did that and then immediately was able to defeat Lord Bane to get the Master of Death achievement.

Looks like a bug when the next level is figured out when you unlock. The developers should patch this, so if anyone knows how to get this info to the developers, please do so. I’d imagine that this will work for any level change, like 40 to 41, etc., but I haven’t tried it. All you’d need to do is take your level X character, get him close to level x+1, then quit and delete the full game. Download the trial, play to get your experience up to the next level, then unlock the full version of the game.

What I really wish I had a cheat for is the forge godlike item. Anyone have this achievement? Update: I picked up the final achievement (Master Craftsman) this afternoon while on a conference call, and am now 200/200.
